Tip to One With a 'Sweet Tooth"; Chocolate Candy Isn't Barred

THE HOME FRONT FORECAST: The office of war information Jas been carrying on an experiment in six sections of the country with five different share-the-meat menus, allotting two and a half pounds

to u person,

And it expects shortly to have a full report on how the guinea pig - families fared during the trial week,

Reports. coming in thus far are encouraging—and then some. The

five sets of menus were provided because of varied tastes, foods dnd eating habits in different parts of the country. But housewives from ever. section are saying that their families are eating more meat than befor 3, and that the menus are far too copious—resulting in ice boxes filled with leftovers.

Your Sweet Tooth IF YOUR SWEET TOOTH has been aching for an unprocurable ehocolate bar this last week or two, take heart. The candy isn’t gone for good, even if some dealers have been out of such confections recently, fois a Chocolate bar makers have been cut to 60 per cent of last year’s

. cocoa grinding and 70 per cent of

the sugar for their civilian output. (They have, however, been given extra allotments for bars going to the armed forces.) Ancther shortage factor in many focaliiies is increased purchasing power. So, while you may find a spotty supply at your favorite candy store, the outlook isn’t bleak.

Standardized Kitchen BY THE TIME the happy day of world war II armistice comes around, you're going to have a regimented kitchen. Precious metals like aluminum and copper, of course, were ruled out early in the war. Then came two directives further restricting use of metals and standardizing design of pots and pans. Now, there will be a third one covering knives and other cutlery. It’s all in the general move toward complete standardization and uniformity to cut down on labor and materials. 2 »

aii Fixing Things

AROUND THE HOUSE

| Woman's Viewpoint—;

Whether you are the handy man around the house for life or just for the duration, there

are many simple repairs you can make easily and inexpensively. And you can get a lot of satisfaction out of fixing such annoyances as sticking drawers and stubborn cupboard doors. Nine times out of ten the sticking drawer inherits its stubborness from poor original workmanship, and is usually found in built-on-the-job cabinets in which partly kiln-dried and partly semigreen lumber were sed. If the cabinet work in your house came from a factory where it was made of kiln-dried lumber properly dovetailed and put together with rabbeted joints well glued, then you won't have this sticking trouble. But, anyway, you can correct it with one of three remedies. To repair a sticking drawer, Parents’ magazine says to take it out and see that its sides and bottom are secure. It not, make them so. Use small nails, screws or glue, whichever seems best for your particular drawer. See that the strip of wood in the cupboard upon which the drawer slides is nailed fast where it belongs, and its sliding surface is smooth. If there is enough leeway between the slide and the drawer, a smooth-headed thumb tack at each front edge will provide a slippery ‘sliding surface and eliminate much of the friction between the bottom of the drawer’s edge and the sliding piece. When a drawer is too tight the

planing of its sides, followed by sandpapering, will ease up its tendency to stick. Also you can buy a prepared product in the five-and-ten or at hardware and paint stores which will aid in making tight drawers slide easily. It is not greasy and will not discolor. For the sticking cupboard door, first tighten the screws in the hinges. Just doing this often sets a door back true so it will close properly. If not, find out where it strikes the frame and mark the spot or spots on the door with a pencil Then take the door off and do a little planing at these spots. Smooth the places with sandpaper and put the door back in place. Paint the bare spots so the wood won’t absorb moisture and again get into a sticking: mood.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—My problem is a family problem. My aunt’s husband ‘died just recently. She is alone now and wants me to come to live with her. If I will do this she says she will send me through school and buy my clothes. I have always wanted to go to college and this is my chance. I have two brothers and two sisters. We do not live very well financially speaking. My parents are not in favor of my going but they say that it is up to me. Should I go against my parents’ wishes to take the chance of a lifetime or shall I stay with the family and finish high school and get a job? DIANA. ”

Answer—What are your parents’ reasons for wishing to deprive you of this opportunity? If they know some facts which you do not which indicate that your life with your aunt will not be as pleasant as you hope, let them tell you what they are so that you can decide more intelligently. But if their only reason

lies in their reluctance to have someone else provide for their daughter when they cannot, then they should overcome their hesitance and encourage you to grasp your opportunity and make the

most of it. Your mother may have some feelings of jealousy where your aunt is concerned. She may feel a little inferior because she is not as well off financially as your aunt. She may dislike to feel obligated to her sister for the support of her daughter. These are very troublesome feelings and make it difficult for your mother to approve wholeheartedly of your plan. You can help by reassuring your parents of your regard and respect and by not neglecting them when you are away from home. Your aunt, too, can help by assuring your parents that she will feel repaid by your companionship - during her loneliness and that she does not expect the rest of the family to feel burdened by obligations. ! JANE JORDAN.
