CONSERVATION CLIPS
Buttering Up
Remove 'butter from the refrigerator
a little while before using, softened to
room temperature it'll spread more
easily and go farther. Important,
that! Try other mild-flavoured fats in
cookirig, cakes, cookies, cream, sauce,
frying. Use grated cheese, on veget-
ables instead of butter piquant and
good.' Make bates balls for the table
and encourage smaller helpings of
'butter. Make a butter and, ioney mix-
ture for breakfast toast, Small sav-
ings acid -up to pounds.
Jumper Yourself
Make something out of that old
dress worn at the armholes or elbows.
Chances are that the rest of it is good
for another spring, Rip out the sleev-
es and hem armholes. Turn in the
front to a deep V and what have you?
A jumper dress ...and what is smart-
er this year?' Add a crisp white blouse
and look, as fresh as the first spring,
crocus. Try it and see. -
Milk Minutae
Refrigerate milk as soon as delivers
ed. . ,doesn't take it long to start
"turning".in a warm room. If a pit-
cher of milk goes on the dining room
table at mealtime it has a top priority
for quick transit back to the refriger-
ator, but net back to the bottle.
Garbage For Your Money?
Food not eaten is money thrown
away. Give
