He works ‘nights and wants me to go to bed ‘when he leaves, and then the next day he wants me to sleep half the day because he does. After I get up he doesn't want me to step outgide the house.

THE ART OF maintaining a home and doing a full-time job simultaneously is a real problem for many of these working wives, but not for one husky Negro woman whose motto is “A heavy hand with a shovel and a light hand with a biscuit.” A member of the allwoman section gang which recently started work on a midwestern rail-

CHILDREN AND household problems are enough to deter many women from going to work but these were merely incidentals to a 42-year-old Illinois mother. Rising

Repeating the same procedure. at night she returned to: the-house~| boat, on which she and eight of her 10 children lived, and picked up her domestic duties. A recent nation-wide survey showed that 40 per cent of the em-| ployees in independent grocery stores today are women. Although the increase has been greater in large stores than. in small ones, four out of five of the stores covered employ women for an average of 2.2 per store as compared with 1.38: a year ago.

help in forming new habits. Arguments and punishments spoil appetites and often injure digestion. A new food should be a pleasant surprise.

The twelve food groups in lesson nine give a wide choice in the groups. The home maker can experiment with her family’s tastes.

If the children do not like spinach, fry kale or swiss chard. If they don't care for fish, try omelettes, cheese, fondues or rarebit for meat alternates. Try new foods for fun,

MEAL PLANS

The meals for a whole day should be checked for nutritive values and protective foods. For example, if you have orange juice for breakfast, you will need less vitamins A and C in the other meals. If you have cream soup at lunch, there is part of the day's needs for milk. If the lunch is hearty, rich in calories and fats, dinner can be higher in protective Ioods and lower in

calories.

Foods should be cooked in the best ways to preserve the flavor and texture as well as the vitamins and minerals. A good cook book is a necessity, one of which has been written or revised with the newer knowledge of nutrition.

Foods should he combined and served =attractively, colorful, varied in texture. For example: Serve a soft food with a crisp one, as hominy grits with crisp bacon; a green salad with an omelette. Appearnace has much

{0 do with appetite, and as a result with the

acceptance of new foods.

A good plan is to have a chart and check

the score of every member of the family. Children will love the game. The following might be used.

Menus can be simplified by. combining two or more foods in one dish, as in beef stew, with vegetables and dumplings.

Food for a growing child should toliow these patterns in general. If lunch is eaten at a school cafeteria, adult supervision should see that attention is paid to the child's choice of foods. If lunch is packed at home, it should be planned to fit into the requirements of protective foods.

In packing a lunch for an adult worker, the an

home maker should consider it in relation to the needs for the whole day. Protective foods should not be neglected. Breads for sand-, wiches* should be varied and inélude whole grain kinds or enriched. Raw vegetables, as carrot and celery strips, caulifiower buds, tomatoes, should be included. If possible use a

" thermos bottle for hot soups, stews or chili.

The use of paper cups, paper containers for

foods will help to make the lunch palatable and attractive.

When the worker eats his lunch at a cafe- ' teria or restaurant, the same care should be paid to the selection of balanced foods. This can best be done if he will make a plan for his meal before he begins to select it from : what is offered. Both calories and protective value should be considered.

THE AMERICAN DIET

The American diét has been studied by sec~ tions of the country, and is known to be better than it was 50 years ago. The increased

knowledge of nutrition, the refrigerating and

processing of foods has helped to improve it. But Were is still need for improvement.
