Homemaking—
Housewife Should Re-Educate Herself in Cooking Methods
TODAY, IN A CRISIS PERIOD, every housewife must re-educate |
herself in cooking methods. Grandma's way is no longer | enough. A roast costs money. Do vou get every cent’s worth in palatability and nutrition? Let's answer some questions about the way to roast meat. ! Much lower and constant temperatures are recommended for cooking all meat, regardless of method, , because:

According to old ideas of meat cookery, basting the meat every 10 or 15 minutes was considered essential te a juicy, well-flavored roast. But not today. The roast should be placed in the oven with the fat side up, then as the Tat melts it will run over and through the meat and basting may be eliminated Salt When You Please

One chair might be covered in matching striped material, others in plain yellow damask.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 24 years old and have been married
22 for two years. I like my husband but don't Jove him. We don't trust each other but have ne reason not to. I like to dance and have fun, He likes his sports such as fishing and hunting. Our ways are very different. He does not like any of my people but I am fond of his and treat them nicely. He is spoiled and so am I. I am one of six in a family and he is one of two. We never have lived by ourselves but always with his parents, Both of us work and make good money. I have been going out with another boy and think a Jot of him but he is only 20. I told my husband that I did not Jove him, What should I do, leave him or try to love him? LONESOME AS CAN BE. 5

Answer—At least you ean try to get along with your husband. {1 vou like him you have a good basis for a going concern. Perhaps ne one has chills and fever after two years of marnage. By that time most people are satisfied with a more prosaic and less romantic relationship. I do think it would help if you lived by yourselves. Founding a home gives you a mutual interest which is missing when you live in the home of parents. Your husband would feel more of a man and Jess of a boy as the head of his own house no matter how modest. As it is he has more of the qualities of a son than a husband and this mav be one rezson why you arent as satisfied as you should be. Many young husbands are jealous of their wives’ families. DoubtYess vour husband wants you all to himself and resents the influence of vour family. This can be worked out if you let him feel that he comes first. It was not very smart of you to tell him that you do wot love him for this makes him feel inadequate and is not likely to bring out the best in him at all Surely you know that there is nothing to be gained by cheating. A 20-year-old boy isnt going to be any improvement over your husband. My guess is that you don't love him either but go with him as a method of revenging yourself on your husband for his neglect of you when he devotes himself to sports which you do not care share. Pare down your expectations of what marriage has to offer and youll get along better. JANE JORDAN.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I"am a girl in my early teens and I have been going with a boy a few years older for a year and a half. We have split up twice, Sometimes he tells me he will come over and sometimes he doesn't come. He says he had to take his mother some place and I know he doesn't. One night when he told me that I saw him with another girl. IT have a chance to take a long trip. Should I take it and forget him? LONELY, =

THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1941" New Corsets
Designed For Coolness
By MARIAN YOUNG Times Special Writer NEW YORK, July 31.—Gone are the days when hot weather was an excuse for any woman who thought she could get away with it to give up her girdle for the duration of the heat wave. Modern corsetry has a whole bag of tricks for keeping every woman cool, neat and trim even when she’s wearing sheer day and evening dresses, play clothes and slacks. So that therell be no sume mer let-down in your appearance, the corset designers are turning out featherweight girdles and all-in-ones. For streamlining the hip-heavy or thigh-heavy figure, a girdle of lightweight cotton and finely woven elastic net comes in a lightly boned style that is slightly longer skirte? ‘than average. To flatten a protruding stomach, a sleek all-in-one, in firm but light material, has a porous-woven panel .at the front over a concealed, adjustable inner belt. For top-heavy figures, there are long-line lace brassieres to create a firm, high bustline and control a bulging diaphragm. Panty girdles to wear under slacks and other sports clothes, and which slim, average figures wear under dance dresses as well, also come in sheer, porous, cool materials. n - = THE WOMAN who cares greatly about her appearance wouldn't dream of buying a foundation garment without advice of an expert | fitter. Only the expert can recommend special types to correct specific figure defects. It is not a good idea to dash in hurriedly and just order a girdle that happens to be on the counter. Ask to have your measurements taken, and try on any corset before you buy it. Furthermore, get over any notion you may have that washing weakens elastic fabrics. It does not. And

By JANE STAFFORD FAMILY DIETS are better when the families live on farms than when they live in cities or even in small villages. This is true in spite of the fact that modern farm fam-
than did the more self-sufficient families of a century ago. Dr. Hazel K. Stiebling, of the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture, tells of the differences between American farm and city diets in her recent report, “Are We Well Fed?” Farm families today spend more for food than for any other item, she found. Yet they still obtain about two-thirds of their food directly from their own gardens, orchards or fields and from their own milk cows, poultry flocks and other livestock. “Relatively more non-relief fam-
lages have diets that are good,” she stated. “Relatively fewer have poor diets. Well-planned home production programs enable many to have diets rich in protective foods. However, farm families should not be self-satisfied. The diets of many need improvement.”
® = »
THE BIG DIFFERENCE between the diets of farm and city or village families, and the reason why the farm families fare better, is that families on the farm get more of the protective foods which are rich in vitamins and minerals. These foods not only protect against acute sickness, but “help to lift bodies from a low to a higher level of good health” During one week of late spring or summer, self-supporting farm families with an income of between $500 and $100 had 18 quarts of
