"How t to > Make ol ~ Rationed Meals. :

N ourishing | By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer . FIRST THING to think about

-nourishving value of the foods. It

classify foods according to nutritional values, the ‘way home econ--omists do. : Then if you cahnot get some item

planned for the day’s menus, it will}

be ‘easy to pick any adequate substitute quickly. Here are the food

adults, more for children. You can take it as a beverage or eat it in - foods such as custards and cream ‘soups or over breakfast cereal.

Pick them by their color. ‘Carrots, spinach, fresh peas and * ‘beans (the dried ones belong in another class), kale, turnip greens or beet tops and salad greens, turnips and rutabagas and the like. | 4. Other vegetables and fruits. . ‘Potatoes belong in this class. 5. Meat or alternate main-dish cheese, dried beans or peas. Fish and poultry belong here, too, of course, and the variety or organ, meats, such as liver, kidneys and sweetbreads. 6. Grain products. ‘This includes bread, breakfast cereals, spaghetti, macaroni, rice and hominy. The more of these you eat in whole grain or enriched products, the better nourished you will be. 7. Fats. . This ‘includes salad dressing and fats used in cooking as well as that spread on bread. For the latter purpose, oleomargarine is said by medical authorities to be as good as butter, if the margarine is . ‘suitably enriched with vitamin A. Most oleomargarine on the market now is enriched. Look at the label to see whether it has 9000 U. S. P. units ‘per pound.

Paine details a program designed to help preserve and protect the life of household furnishings not easily replaceable in wartime, “Check your. linens and domestics,” she cautions. “Rebind perfectly good, but shabby, wool. blankets; put a collar on them or give them refuge under washable blanket covers. “Be sure that all woolens are properly cleaned before storing so that pestiferous moths won't grow fat on them. If your rugs haven't had their yearly cleaning, send them to a reliable cleaner.”

Check and Re-check

“THEN KEEP them clean by frequent cleanings with a vacuum, so that dirt particles won't grind into the pile and cut the fibers. Keep them bright and fresh-looking with

sorbent or foam type of cleaner. “Check your draperies and curtains. You can still buy glass curtains with a durable finish. Look over all appliances to avoid breakdowns. See that electric cords on appliances and lamps are not worn. Don’t forget the invisibles of the house, either; for: instance, the electric bulbs should be wiped, too.”

IN SPITE of increased demands for cotton goods, there will be new and interesting cotton fabrics for the consumer to choose from when she plans her spring and summer wardrobe. _ Por instance, a cotton tweed that makes ‘up ‘handsomely into coats and suits. ‘There's: color enough and variety enough in désign to suit almost any taste—conservative monotone plaids and checks, stripes, window-pane plaids in soft pastels and high shades, too.
