Lean Fish Fit Nutrition Standards Without Being Weight Producing
MATCHING UP today’s recommended nutritional food standards "for meal planning is sometimes complicated by the necessity of serving
non-fattening foods.
Lean fish and seafoods offer delicious. variety and excellent nour-
ishment, but are not weight producing. A few of these lean types are flounder, pike, perch, shrimp and lobster. These lean fish and
haddock, seafoods cohtain an abundance of - nourishing vitamins, minerals and body building food properties, - They differ only with other good quality protein foods in that they contain a minimum of the weightproducing fats which are prevalent in many of the recommended nutritional foods. Because of their fine texture and absolute lack of coarse tissue they are excellent as dietary foods, since they are easily and completely digested.

Kitchen Tips
NOW THAT COFFEE rationing is here, our precious supply must be kept at its freshest. Laboratory tests have shown that placing _ glassed coffee in its airtight container in the refrigerator will keep it freshest a longer time. » J t 4 | Don't forget to save waste cook{ing fat. Strain it into a container, keep in a cool place until you have a pound and take it to your butchler. i ® = = Use as little water as possible for ‘cooking fresh vegetables, Place a {tight cover on the pan and turn | [the flame just low enough for gentle boiling, Cook only until tender to preserve food values.
Lighting Fixtures | Don’t neglect electric light bulbs and reflectors or diffusing fixtures. Conservation is important in these war times, and dust cuts down light making it necessary to use more wattage and cutting down also on the value you get from the current you use. Each week or fortnight, each bulb should be mopped with a damp soapy cloth, then rinsed and wil thoroughly dry. Make sure lights are switched off before you start mopping.
Blanket to Comforter
The woolen blanket that is torn or worn so thin that it seems in danger of falling apart can be converted into a good-looking practical comforter. Encase it in a printed , gotton blanket cover, catch it in -several places with color-fast yarn, ‘and the result is an-almost new bed covering. When soiled it should be washed like all woolens, in a heavy lather of mild soapsuds and water not above lukewarm temperature,
- Cleaning Pots To clean a pot to which food has stuck, fill it immediately with cool soapy water and let stand until, the particles have loosened. Remove them completely with a scraper or spatula, and then wash the pot in the usual way.

Posture Improves With Stretching
“Lift your head out of your shoulders, your shoulders out of your waist, and your waist out of your hips.”, This, it was revealed by Carole Landis on the motion picture set of “The Powers Girl,” is the first bit of advice given®to famous models by no less an authority on the subject than John Robert Powers himself. “That means,” explains Mr, Powers, “stretch full length all the time. Make yourself just as tall as you can. This constant stretching not only makes your body supple, but gives it a liquid flow when you move, instead of an awkward, jolting movement.” Before long, assures the celebrated connoisseur . of beauty, this stretching becomes a habit . . . a habit that soon leads to health and a graceful carriage, Final Fling Washington predicts a last fling for the buying public before war completely dominates civilian life.

«Guinan, is a Tezan.
By JAMES THRASHER © Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—At the age of 39; Louise Reid possesses two uncommon distinctions. Listed chronologically, they are: New York night club and one granddaughter. The night club is the ‘Monte Carlp (the one-on 48th st., not Fefe’s on 54th), which she bought seven months ago; the granddaughter is Patsy Ann Sager, who's 5 weeks old. Both are doing nicely, thank you. Now, a 39-year-old grandmother is enough of a rarity. But Broadway hasn't seen a woman owneroperator of a night spot since the days of the late Texas Guinan and the late Great Experiment. Mrs. Reid thinks that it’s purely coincidental that she, like Miss And she will have none of the “reincarnation of Texas Guinan” tag that one eager: publicist tried to hang on her. The famous Guinan greeting of “Hello, ‘sucker!” is not for her. If anybody is a “sucker” around the Monte Carlo, it's the proprietor herself. She is what the boys in the neighborhood of her establishment call a soft to Bothered by a tender heart (delnitely not an, occupational disease on Broadway) she suffers from an inability to say “No” to a hard luck story.

WHEN SHE FIRST took over the Monte Carlo she hired almost all entertainers who came around, just because she was sorry for them. And once, when she discovered an employee stealing from her, it was all she could do to get up nerve enough to fire him. Today, although she’s learned to be a little more firm, she still runs her night club by the same code of Texan ethics that she brought with her to the job. “Sincerity and honor,” says Mrs. Reid, “are the marks of a Texan. His word is his bond—and that’s the way I do business. When .I bought this place my friends all

Louise, not Texas’ I told them I thought a little Texas would do a lot of good on Broadway.” Apparently it has. The Monte Carlo, which was at the bottom of a slump when she bought it, is making money Gilder Mrs. Reid's

A loud shriek, a red face, and fury! Timothy had had his first whooping cough shot. Old Mother Nature has done a rather half-way job of protecting our babies, you know. When they are born, all babies have an immunity to measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria that will last them around six months, but from the very first they can get chickenpox and two very severe diseases, smallpox and whooping cough. ’ (8 = 8 NOW RE ALL familiar with the smallpox vaccination and the diphth immunization. Almost too familiar, perhaps, because we sometimes forget to have them taken care of soon after the baby’s 6-month birthday. The fact remains that vaccination and immunization have practically wiped out these two diseases.

We parents should know what value lies in this particular jab of the doctor’s needle. EJ 2 ®2 WHOOPING: COUGH shots, it seems, have been used for years. But in one city one kind of vaccine has been favored, and in another, a slightly different preparation. When doctors tried to discover how well whooping cough vaccine was working, the results were very confusing. One. city or group of doctors would show good results from the use of their vaccine and others would claim that their vaccine made little differente in the number and severity of Whoop-~ ing cough cases. But now, at last, whooping cough vaccine has been standardized. This means that the shot your baby Tommy, no matter where you live, is,the same as the one my doctor needled into Timmy the other day. “The first reports on standard-
