THE INDIANAPOLIS TIME

Homemaking—

Mom Had Better Learn to Cook Chow ‘Like the Sergeant Used to Make

DONT BE AT ALL SURPRISED, when vour menfolk return from the war if they reminisce wistfully about the swell meals their mess

gergeants used to make.

In army quartermaster corps’ 35 market centers stationed in girategic parts of the country, nearly $3,000,000 is spent each market dav for fresh fruits, vegetables and other perishable foods, by experi-

enced officers and civilian assistants} who compete in the open markets

early each morning. And at the quartermasters Chi-

For old-fashioned grmy fare of bully-beef, hardtack and beans disappeared when they developed dehydrated foods to the point where a dinner of meat, “fresh” vegetables and dessert can

be prepared at the front in scarcely |

"Trouble Ahead’

IF YOU THINK your home-made

corn bread is pretty good. just wait until you hear your boy rave about the bacon-and-cheese loaf his canteen cook made from leftovers. Or the way he turned yesterday's carrots, with a bit of mashing and spicing. into something that tasted exactly like pumpkin pie. And what a pleasure it was to get up early in the morning when the cook served canned ham and eggs, one of the newest food developments. Oh, you can just bet you're going to have your hands full when your men come home, trying to cook the way “our canteen sergeant used to make it.”

Dutch Treat:

WHEN TAKING inventory of vour household goods, with an eye to salvaging some that would ordi narily be consigned to the rag bag, one of the first things to consider is your bed sheets. The best “testing” plan for salvaging a worn sheet is to hold it up to the light. There, you quickly can see where the tensile strength is still intact. Usually, the good parts are found along the sides, top and bottom -- parts which are usually tucked under the mattress. Along these sections, you can frequently salvage strips at least 20 inches wide which are too good for dust cloths nd are easy to convert into practical, charm ing little garments for youngsters. These tricks of make-over magic are greatly aided and abetted by a practical pattern, your sewing machine and its attachments.

= = - FOR INSTANCE, you can make a little girl's apron and collar set in which is captured all the spic and span quality we admire in the Hollander’s way of living. The apron can be made with a buttonon, criss-cross collar or with a trim, rufflad edge sailor collar. You can get a simple pattern which gives full instructions for cutting out the apron and both types of collar. Then, if you are not an experienced seamstress, apply to your local sewing center to learn, in & few simple wartime budget lessons, how to apply the embroidery banding and ruffling in a truly professional manner,

4-H Members Demonstrate Dairy Foods

A feminine army, comprising] thousands of 4-H club girls in Indi-/ ana and practically all other states, is bringing home the paramount wartime need of making the fullest use of milk and other dairy prod-| ucts to keep rural America in work-| ing and fighting trim. The girls are accomplishing this task through public demonstrations,’ which include the preparation of] nutritious drinks, custards, cream | and cheese pies, soups, salads and other dishes utilising milk and dairy products. They are also demonstrating how to make and handle butter, cheese, cottage cheese and ice cream. Many of these youthful workers are enrolled in the 1943 national 4-H dairy foods demonstration activity, in which outstanding records of achievement will be recognised. These recognitions include awards of $50 war savings bonds provided by the Kraft Cheese Co. to the two highest rating individual dcmonstrators, and to members of the two top teams in the state. The activity is being conducted along with other wartime projects of production and conservation by

It was further explained that a variance in prices for grade A stockings could be accounted for by the fact that certain special features, such as reinforcements in the toes and heels and tops, might raise the price as much as 12 cents in some cases, but are allowable by the order. The recently established price ceilings affect only grade A stockings, it was said. .

What to Do

In Treating Meningitis By JANE STAFFORD

Science Service Writer WHEN YOU READ reports of hundreds of cases of meningitis occurring each week, you probably are wondering what you should be doing lo avoid this serious sickness, Aside

from avoiding crowds and crowded living quarters and following the rules of healthful living that build up resistance generally, there is nothing you can do. Meningitis spreads about the way the common cold does, and there is no specific vaccine to protect against it. Germs from the noses and the throats of patients and also from] healthy carriers are the source of he sickness. Fortunately, sulfa drug treatment given promptly can, in a large percentage of cases, prevent death from meningitis. So the one big thing you can and should do about this sickness is to call a doctor promptly in order to have the full benefit of this treatment. ® » . MENINGITIS usually begins with symptoms of a cold and sore throat, followed shortly by fever, severe headache, pain in the back of the neck, mental dullness, vomiting and frequently a peculiar skin rash from which the disease has also gotten the name spotted fever. Cerebrospinal fever is another name for this sickness, given hecause it attacks the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. The word meningitis means inflammation of these membranes, The patient must be kept in a darkened, quiet room and great care taken not to bump into the bed or other furniture. Noise around the house should be reduced to & minimum, as these patients are very sensitive to it and any noise may start a convulsion.
