Cash Registers Ring in More Than $3 Billion

Probably the most significant of the figures released showed a decrease in the average mark-up from 38.6 per cent in 1945 to 36.7 per cent in 1946. This was largely accounted for by price-cut merchandise which sold at little or no profit and it brought the difference between wholesale and retail prices down to 1939 levels. Inderes based on 1039 .sales showed an increase of 152 per cent in dollar intake and 44 per cent in number of transactions over that period.

THIS requires sterilizing the skin by gently swabbing with an antiseptic solution, sterilizing the hands (or at least giving them a good soap and water scrubbing), and sterilizing the needle. The neédle should be inserted in the skin just beyond the edge of the blister and the fluid pushed through the opening by gently pressing the edges of the blister. A sterile dressing then should be firmly bandaged in place. » » EJ

IF THE blister has already been rubbed open, cleansing with a saturated solution of boric acid followed by the sterile dressing is advised by one authority. The solution is made by dissolving two teaspoonfuls of boric acid in a glass of water and is applied with sterile cotton swabs. If this seems too complicated as & home remedy, see a doctor.

Beauties’ Hints— If Sun Lotions Leave Stain—

By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer IF SUNTAN lotion discolors your sunsuit or leg make-up leaves a trail around a dress hemline, the earlier you remove these stains the better. Remove by washing or dry-cleaning within a few days after discovering them. Most of these cosmetics contain tannin which, if allowed to remain on the fabric, may make a permanent stain, say dry cleaners. These experts offer more suggestions for safeguarding summer clothing: Apply deodorants and anti-perspirants at least 15 minutes before dressing. Remove excess with damp cloth. “ . »

GARMENTS should be kept immaculately clean to prevent chemicals in these preparations from building up in the cloth. A oconcentration of chemicals weakens cloth fibers and affects the color. « Before slipping on your dress,

guard it from lipstick smudges by | holding a piece of cleansing tissue’

between your lips. A more foolproof procedure is to apply makeup after dressing. If you're giving a wrinkled suit a quick press, watch out for stains on the fabric. Never touch a stain with a hot iron or the heat may set it indelibly. nr

Summer Egg Buys LARGE SUPPLIES of eggs not up to standards for highest grades will be on markets in many parts of the country this summer, poultry mar-

say. During warm weather the general quality of eggs on the market drops. The result is that, though there are. plenty of eggs, there are not enough measuring up to U. 8. standards for “A” quality to meet the demand. Therefore, many eggs sell ungraded and this summer should be offered at a price sufficiently below grade “A” eggs to make them a good buy for many cooking uses.

Same Food Yoke

housewife who is feeding her family on a limited budget and needs to save food costs wisely. These lower quality, less expensive eggs have the same nutritive value as those of top quality, and do quite as well for making custards and many other desserts, for muffins and most cake mixtures, and for scrambling. Top quality eggs are better for poaching, cooking in the shell and frying. s Before buying eggs this summer, marketing specialists advise the housewife to check both price and quality in order to make sure that she is paying a lower price when she buys lower quality “cooking” eggs.

A WIDE VARIETY OF FOODS will be plentiful on markets generally. next month, the U, 8. agriculture’ department announces, For budget meals in July, the abundant fruits and juices will include fresh lemons and oranges, canned grapefruit segments, canned citrus juices and canned |"
