Chinese Housewives Have Some Tips

On Thrifty

Use. of Meats and: Fish

- | OHINESE HOUSEWIVES in New York are now referring to, the "Chinese way of cooking as “victory cooking,” since American housewives, if they cooked in the Chinese marner, could use far less meat than they are now using and be prepared for meat-rationing, if and when. By following Chinese cooking, American women could also heed defense officials’ advice to use more fish. :@

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—-My daughter married one of the most attractive young men in our town and they have two little children. After their marriage it soon became apparent that my daughter’s husband was an unstable proposition. He never looked at’ another woman but he was irresponsible

‘with his family but never paid his bills. Things went from bad to worse until at last he got in trouble with the federal authorities and spent a year in the penitentiary. We took my daughter and her children in and supported them. She never would admit that her husband was to blame for his deed and would not listen to divorce. Now he is out of prison and she sees him continually against our wishes.

to support his family although he has a job of sorts. I know for a fact. that she has taken money which we have given her and given it to him. My daughter used to be an ethical person but this man has influenced her to ways of thinking of which her father and I cannot approve. She lies to us about what she does and seems totally unappreciative of what we have done for her. She wants to go back to her husband even though it means a poverty stricken existence and no advantages for the children. I am worn out with her and am willing to let her shift for herself for a while, Her father feels that even though she and her husband have behaved disgracefully that she is still our daughter and we must provide for her. What do you think? * UNHAPPY MOTHER.

# ” 5 Answer—I think it is useless for you to try to separate your daughter from her husband as long as she wants to cling to him. She is a grown woman and has a right to make her own decisions even

{though they are not in accord with

your wishes for her. You can’t make her over according to your pattern. She is what she ir and that you will have to accept. If there were no children involved I would agree with you that the thing to do would be to let ker shift for herself, but one cannot see children in actual want if it is possible to help. Wouldn't it be more sensible to let the girl return to her husband and help the family get on its feet instead of making your help contingént upon the fact that she live apart from her husband? She cannot expect to be supportéd on the same level which her parents maintain, but if you help her to live modestly so that the children will not be in actual want, it would cost you less than your are spending now and be a better solution to your problem. Both you-and your husband would be better satisfied than if you washed your hands of the whole affair as soon as your daughter and her children left the house, JANE JORDAN.

‘By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer YOU NEED NOT BE terrified by the possibility of war gases being loosed in this country if you remember a few simple facts about

yourself against them. Pirst, remember that these gases are Firs Ta than air and therefore will stay close to the ground. To get out of a gassed area, sim-| ply walk against the wind or go upstairs, advises ‘the office of civilian defense. Soldiers need gas masks because they must stay in contaminated areas. Civilians can get out of or above.the gassed area, so do not need ‘masks or protective clothing. : If you are indoors, stay there with doors and windows closed and: go up to the second or. third story.

from some gasses which are spread as drops of oily liquid that blisters and burn both eyes and skin. Tear off a piece of clothing or use ‘a handkerchief to blot away any drops of liquid on .your skin. Throw away the cloth. Remember: Biot, don't rub. Rpbbing will spread the liquid. If your home is nearby, go there. If not, the OCD advises ‘you to go to the nearest place where you can wash with soap and water and cleanse yourself in the following manner: - ® 8 = 3 1. REMOVE all outer clothing outside the house, since gas can be transmitted to others from contaminated clothing. Put it preferably in a covered garbage pail, 2. Apply one of the following effective household remedies to the part of your skin that has been contaminated: Chlorox- or similar household bleach (for mustard); peroxide of hydrogen (for Lewisite); paste” or solution of baking soda if you have no peroxide or bleach. If you donot know the gas, use both peroxide and bleach. Keep bleach and peroxide out of the eyes. Do not waste time looking for these remedies; bathe immediately if they are not at hand. 3. After entering the house, wash

then wash the face.” Remove the underclothing, place it in a covered garbage pail, and enter the bathroom. ~. in 8 2 2 : 4, IRRIGATE the eyes with large amounts of lukewarm two per cent solution of baking soda (one tablespoonful to a quart of water), or else with plain water. Use an ordinary irrigating douche bag or an

eye irrigator. If you do not have these, let plain warm water pour into the eyes from ‘the shower, washing them thoroughly. Do. not press or rub the eyes. 5.. Lastly, take a shower, using laundry soap and hot water. 6. If the nose and throat feel irritated, wash them out also with baking soda solution. 7. If your chest feels heavy and oppressed, if you have any trouble breathing, or if cigaret smoke becomes distasteful, lie down and stay perfectly still until a doctor sees you. 8. If blisters develop, be careful not to break them, and call a doctor.
