THE ;!XING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN _ Hydro Home Economist' FEATURING COTTAGE CHEESE Bello Homemakers! Let's talk about Cottage Cheese for a few min- utes Do you know there is wonder- ful food value and real economy in this valuable milk product? It hof^ an amount of protein about equal to that ,af the more expensive foods such as meat, fish and eggs. Yes, cottage, cheese has many pos- sibilities, and here are some sugges- tions. Seasoned with salt and pep- per, it may be used to replace the meat course or topped with shim- mering jelly, it's a dessert course. Or, combine it with fruits, vege- tables, relishes (chili sauce, horse- radish, cole slaw), and with jams, jellies, 'spices, ,etc. Salad's, too (they are a problem in winter, aren't they?) become extra attractive when served) with chilled cottage cheese. For the children•'s school lunches, cottage cheese is nourish- ing and easily digested. Try it. As a spread between waffles, a filling for an omelet, or an addition to tomato jello, cottage cheese is really appetizing.

The News -Record 14TEeSNAPSI1OT CU I L a UNITY IN PiCTURE MAKING Making every snapshot a beautiful picture is easy if you concentrate on sound pictorial technique. 1'VBRY so often someone in pho- tography makes a remark which goes ringing down the years. One of those landmarks in photographic history is a criticism made by Al- fred Stieglitz who is perhaps the Dean of American Photography. "Many pictures," Stieglitz said, "are technically perfect, but pictorially rotten," There's not much use in denying it—there is truth in the charge— technically many photographers'are near perfect; pictorially the vast majority are woefully weak. To make your pictures pictorially sound, the most important thing is to think. Ask yourself—"What ani S trying to May or show in this picture? Is it a meaningless snap - abet or really a picture?" There's a difference, you see, be- tween a meaningless snapshot and a good enapshet which is also a worthwhile picture. And there's even more difference between a picture which is made to tell a definite story or express a particular emotion, and a photograph which is made just for picture•making's sake. Now, as far as pictures are con- cerned, here's the way they shape up. A picture which is made just tor sake of picture•making—just in the hope of creating something "beautl- ful," let's say—has little permanent appeal. On the other hand, pictures which are the result of a definite purpose, and are made to fill one aspect of a definite objective, are useful prod- ucts of our camera. Their appeal will never dim, because they are utilitarian as well as artistic, My advice Is give yourself an ob- jective for your picture -making. Think about the pictures you plan to create and make them as perfect technically and artistically as you know bow—and also interesting. If you do, you'll never be open to the charge , "Technically perfect, pictorially rotten." 364 John van Guilder PoisoningYou? Are you sick and tired out every morn- ing — always constipated — can't eat without pain and distress? Your liver is poisoning your system—permanent ill health may be the result: Your liver is the largest organ in your body and most important to your health. It supplies energy to muscles, tissues and glands. If unhealthy, your body lacks this energy and become, enfeebled—youthful vim disappears. Again your liver pours out bile to digest food, get rid of waste and allow proper nourishment to reach your blood. When your liver gets out of order proper digestion and nourishment stop—you're poisoned with the waste that decomposes to your intestines. Nervous troubles and rheumatic pains arise from this poison. You become constipated, stomach and, kidneyscan't' work properly. Tho whole i system s affected and you feel 'rotten," head- achy, backachy,dizzy, tired out—a ready prey for sickness antdisease.
