There is no more sensible way of banishing fatigue lines from your face than to call upon electricity to do more and more of your household tasks. For a certainty, an electric range will do away with that wilted, droopy kitchen-look which comes from cooking in a hot, stuffy kitchen. In electric cooking there is no flame to burn out the oxygen and to foul the air you breathe; there is no soot or grime to dirty your walls and curtains and to blacken your pots and pans. Cooking the modern way in a cool, clean kitchen with a beautiful electric range is the best of all s. ">rtcuts to leisure and a fuller, happier life. It's so easy, so economical, and adds so much pleasure to living that the cost of doing without makes it a matter of good sense to trade in your old kitchen stove for one of the grand new electric ranges ... now! 4ft

With energy and drive this Great American, Mrs. Harkness, has succeeded in icing what numerous other explorers had failed to do. She captured a live panda, kept it alive, and brought it ■lately to America. When Explorer Harkness discovered the first baby panda, Su-Lin, it weighed but 2S pounds. Today it is one of the most interesting animals in captivity, is valued at about fill),DM, and will soon weigh 200 pounds. The second panda, Mei Mei. which Mrs. Harkness brought to America early in 1938, is expected to tontributc much to the scientific knowledge of panda life, and will eventually weigh as much as Su-Lin. Because of her contributions to science, 1 Mrs Harkness is hailed as America’s Ace Woman Explorer, and is regarded as one of America's greatest women. So many active people find that Quaker 1 Oats, with sugar and cream, is a won- 1 ierful source of food energy and that ts rich supply of Vitamin B helps one m combating nervousness, indigestion tnd poor appetite.

"Balanced Recipes" was prepared under the personal supervision of Mary Ellis Ames, noted director of Pillsbury’s Cooking Service. Mra Ames made every effort to have the book as easy to use as possible. Its more than 300 recipes are ail numbered for quick and easy reference; a full visible index puts each subject right at the user's finger-tip. Aluminum Cover Its everlasting aluminum cover is another reason why "Balanced Recipes" has proved such a favorite with home makers. This cover interlocks j to protect the recipes against those , spills that will happen in even the i best of kitchens. A flick of a damp cloth keeps it clean and shining. The regular pric* of "Balanced Recipes” is *1.25, postpaid. However, users of Pillsbury's Best, the "balanced* flour, can get it for only 11.00, by enclosing the coupon packed in every bag of PUisbury’s Best

Salad Bowls Bring the Garden to the Table! | ■ms It : E - i v • » L ' * . Ji

There was a time when every hostess worthy of the name tried to disguise the natural beauty of her garden vegetables when they came to the table. Cut and die«i, and smothered in all sorts of strange ways, they were never allowed full expression of their own naturally graceful and delicious selves. Today all that is changed, and the handsomest of our salads are the most natural appearing. The salad bowl, offering us a wide variety of the l»e«t the garden has tn offer, fa perhaps the happiest expression of this simple tieauty in salad-making. In the salad bowl, with its ample surface, we find green beans, ruddy carrots, blushing tomatoes, tender peas, spicy radishes and floweret of raw cauliflower mingling in a happy community of garden-goodness. Each of these garden favorites may be placed in a separate nest of crisp lettuce - or all of the ingredients may be tossed lightly together in a bowl garnished with watercress.

a salad bowl agrees that this par- ■ ticular kind of salad has a charm all its own. There are no hard and fast rules about the proper making or arrangement for a salad bowl. Let the imagination, and the wealth of the garden, decide. But an excellent rule to remember is that the choice of dressing for these fresh spring beauties is all-important. To enhance each separate flavor of the vegetables, and dress the salad as it properly deserves, “Miracle Whip” Salad dreading is the ideal choice. Because it is neither too sharp nor too mild, but blends wit h a wide variety of flavors, it is perfectly suited to the vegetable salad. Made with pure vinegar, choice eggs, oil and a nappy blend of spices, “Miracle Whip” combines the best features of both old-fashioned boiled dressing and mayonnaise. A separate bowl of “Miracle Whip” served beside the heaping salad bow! is your assurance of the success of this most popular member of the aalad family.
