iood' That Feeds.
One of the most important. things
tltrit every housewife should know
about food is its value as nourishment
for the body. We must, in fact, have
foods that feed. There are several
kinds of valves that all human bodies
need in the food they eat, and with
out which they cannot be healthy
and well nourished. These are:
Material to buildthe body and re-
pair waste.
Material toive. heat and strength.
Material to enrich and cleanse the
blood.
Material bo form bone.
Let us take them in order:
It may be said of the body-build-
ing material that, in a sense, it is the
most important of all, because we
cannot live without it, while we might
go on living for some time without
most of the others (though we could
not long remain healthy). Cheese,
lentils, haricot beans, split peas, meat,
fish, oatmeal, eggs, nuts and, to a
somewat less extent, good bread, all
have much body-building material.
Fats of all kinds, such as butter,
cream, suet, dripping, margarine and
nut butter, give warmth and energy,
strength and power to work. Sugar,
molasses and golden syrup are also
heat -giving, and so are "starchy"
foods, such as potatoes, rice and
cornstarch. These foods, however,
contain verylittle body-building ma-
terial,
Vegetables and fruit (other than
peas, beans and lentils) contain
scarcely any of the body-building ma-
terials, bub they give the body what
no other foods give, that is, certain
juices which purify and enrich the
blood, and withoat which no one can
be healthy. It is these precious
juices which are thrown away when
vegetables are boiled in water and
the water poured down the sink. If
these juices were taken by people
every day in properly cooked vege-
tables, there would not be nearly so
much money spent ab the drug store,
as they are the best possible form of
natural medicine.
The bone -forming materials are to
be found principally in mlik and
cheese, good bread, oatmeal and in
onions and many green vegetables.
They are absolutely necessary for
growing children. The result of chil-
dren nob getting enough of them is
only too often to be seen in bad teeth
and stunted growth.
Things to Remember.
Grease spots can be removed from
the floor by means of alcohol.
Allow 20 inches of space for each
person when setting a dining table.
Parsley or celery rubbed on the
hands will destroy the odor of onions.
Middies of white crepe save laundry
work, as they don't have to be ironed.
The finer you crush the ice to
be used in the freezer the more quick-
ly it will freeze the ice cream.
Asparagus is delicious served with
brown butter for a change„ instead
of on toast with dressing.
To preserve rubbers for fruit jars
cover them with dry flour. They will
be as pliable as when new.
' A little olive oil poured into a bot-
tle of home-made catsup after the
bottle has been opened will prevent
the catsup from spoiling so quickly.
To remove old varnish from fur-
niture, bake three tablespoonfuls of
baking soda and put it in a quart of
water and apply with a rough cloth.
If when breaking eggs into a bowl
a piece of shell gets into the egg, by
just touching with the half shell it
will cling to it and be easily reproved.
If eggs are placed in hot water a
few minutes before breaking the
whites will. separate from the yokes
very easily. They must be cooled
before whipping up the whites.
Rub a little butter under the edge
of the spout of the cream pitcher; it
will prevent a drop of cream from
running down over the pitcher.
To remove tea, coffee, fruit and
vegetable stains from white goods,
heap salt on the spot, rub hard and
rinse it in cold water in which con-
siderable borax has been dissolved.

It is deplorable but true, that for

thing save the control. They know
how to start it and stop it, But they

of a man who had bought a powerful
car and who was totally ignorant of
the fact that oil and grease played im-

he was towed in a few days later with
a badly damaged engine he said he
had thought that little things such as
lubrication were arranged before the
car left the factory, and that all he
had to do was to keep the tank full of
gasoline. Repair men state that if
private drivers had more real know-
ledge of their cars, and applied it,
more than three-fourths of the repair
business would fall away.
