Pointers on Solving the Problem Of a Curtailed Meat Allotment:

A ppear in Methodist Pageant

. HOW TO LIVE HAPPILY on two and a half pounds of meat a week is a problem perplexing many a patriotic meal planner who is trying to do her part in the government's voluntary share-the-meat

program.

If the week’s meat usually has exceeded the two and a half pound per person limit only slightly, the problem is simple and may even be |.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am married to a man who is 19 years my senior. He loves me dearly but here is our problem: I enjoy the company of friends my own age. I have a brother, a cousin and an aunt near my own age and about three other close friends. This group meets at first one home and then the other. They come to my home on Friday nights. On these nights my husband never gets home until late. Most of the time he wants to go to bed as soon as he eats his dinner. I know he does this just because my friends are here. On the nights we go to

However, it should be remembered that poultry and the variety meats—liver, heart, kidney, tongue, etc.—are not included in the two and a half pound allotment, and those are just as effective in pro-

‘meats. 2 ® 2 FORTUNATELY these families probably have been getting a large amount of protein and can cut down on the meat ration without doing themselves a bit of physical harm. And it’s quite possible to supply sufficient nutritive elements by using more of certain other

he wants me to go and he stays at home with the children, but we always have an argument when I get home. He is jealous of imaginary things and feels insecure in my love for him. I have tried every method I know to assure him that I love no one but him. He always has faced the public in his work and easily can adjust himself to any group of people. - He has many young friends of his own; so why should he be so distant to this particular group? All are married in this group except -my brother. What can I do to make him feel more secure in- my love for him? PUZZLED. : 2 ” % Answer—You have analyzed your problem correctly when you conclude that your husband is jealous of your young friends. Perhaps the reason that he is more jealous of this group of younger people than any other is due to the fact that it includes your family. It is not unusual for a man to resent his wife’s relatives and their claim upon her affections. In this instance it is more acute because they are all so much younger and make him feel that he is on the shelf. ~ Perhaps they are unconscious of their attitude toward him but think it over. To be sure, he has made things worse by his surly attitude and now, doubtless, they consider him an old grouch with considerable reason. At any rate, ‘he feels that he doesn’t belong andithat is what makes him © jealous. : Get your family to co-operate with you in making him feel more welcome in the group. Mere lipservice will not turn the trick. They must - show some real interest in your hus--band and not be too readily discouraged by his aloof manner. If you can get them ta understand that he feels inferior to them because of his age and that he envies their youth, perhaps they regard him with more tolerance and can win his affection in the long . run, JANE JORDAN.

Watch Your Heaters

IF YOU'RE using a portable heater in this year of fuel rationing, be on guard against the 7th column— the carelessness that since Pearl Harbor has caused more loss of life and property than enemy attacks. Be sure the heater is mechanically sound. Have a licensed electrician repair defective equipment, replace worn cords and plugs, test gas and kerosene heaters for leaks.

‘Two Steps to

Foot Beauty

' By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer

WEARING good foot-freedom shoes during ‘the day, as most women are doing? Then, a little grooming is all the more in order. For those healthful shoes make for beautiful feet—the kind you'll want to show off in evening and bedroom slippers. © But .even healthy feet need attention just as’ hands do. A careful daily soaping and scrubbing, all by themselves, will do a great deal toward making healthy feet pretty. It’s not enough to let the shower sprinkle ‘em. It's best, of course, to give ’em a soak. If that seems too involved, then ‘you should at least wash vigor-

We the Women—

Mothers Can Do Part-Time War Work

By RUTH MILLETT Times Special Writer ONE WAY in which housewives might help relieve the labor shortage with little effect on their homes and families is for those whose children are of school age to take part - time jobs. Thousands of women could: work half a day, and still not neglect their primary job of homemaking if they reorganized their lives. They would have to give up § their bridge and child-study clubs. They would have to simplify their housekeeping and reduce their entertainment to having good friends in for evenings that break up early. They would have to give their children a little more responsibility, and count on them for more help around the house. But they could—if they are strong and in good health—simplify . their lives enough to take on paid jobs. It is time more housewives started thinking along these lines, as the “Help wanted—experience not necessary” ads in ‘the newspapers grow longer and longer. Not only would taking on parttime jobs help relieve the labor shortage—but wives would be helping their husbands out financially. ” » 2

AND MANY a husband is going to need help, as taxes eat up: a larger and larger hunk out of every dollar. The biggest hurdle most housewives will have to take in becoming part-time workers is getting used to the idea of combining paid jobs with housework. It is hard for the woman who hasn’t worked, or even toyed with the idea since she has been married, to see that if she hasn’t any children under school age dependent on her she is one of the women needed in business and industry.
