, OUR SMALL TREASURES
One of the curious and persistent characteristics of humans is the
way in which we cling to apparently useless things. Time was, when.. I
looked on this with a complete lack of -understanding and a good deal of
impatience; it seemed so foolish to allow one’s roots to become entangled
in such insignificance. But the years can teach us many things, so that
now I think I am beginning to’understand why a dish or a chair or a
tumble-down house may gradually become of supreme importance. It
would appear that a great part of our mental and physical life is mech
anical, and that in the wise economy of Nature, habit has been designed
to relieve the strain on our limited mental capacities. Such simple
things as our household tools, the routine of meals and rest, the regular
recurrence of certain tasks, form the warp into which habits are woven,
so that anything which disturbs them, confuses the whole pattern of living.
Since habit becomes stronger with, repetition, it is obvious that the older
we grow, the more impossible it is to change them.
Then, top, sentiment has its part to play. A cracked mug or a faded
quilt may be simply that and nothing more to me, but to some other
woman it is the projector of recollections, intimate and precious. To such
small anchors frail memory moors her fugitive dreams! So let us be
a little cautious in imposing our judgments, remembering that value is
never static, and the importance of anything can be correctly appraised
only by its possessor.

them, but this method has become-'
impracticable, due to the increas- j

slow process and much of the fla

the food value was lost. The new
vacuum principle does not expose
foods to slow drying or excess heat,
but leaves them with all their orig

which is more or less pioneering in
this field, for information regarding
their products and they sent me'
samples of onions, carrots and
soup vegetables. These I have tried
out according to directions, and
really cannot detect any loss of fla

development of this new industry
are almost unlimited, when one
considers the extent to which

conserved. Twenty ounces of raw
carrots, enough for four servings,
are condensed into a tiny 2-ounce

of the output of this business is

feeding the troops overseas. In
this form one can purchase almost
all varieties of fruit and vegetables.
For one dollar this firm puts up a
tube containing three tins of vege

The potato is One of Nature’s
best gifts. It will grow almost any
where, giving generous returns for
a minimumu amount of care. For a
few years past, food-faddists have
frowned upon the homely spud, but
being firmly convinced that Nature
is no fool, many folks kept right
On eating them, probably having
in mind husky families who were
pretty well raised on potatoes. In
looking for hot supper dishes ,t
seemed that most of them used po
tatoes as a base. Look over this list
and see what you can do to improve
or vary it:
Baked DiSliCs
Alternate layers of mashed
,tatoes and hard-cooked eggs.
Alternate layers of mashed
tatoes and flaked fish.
Alternate layers of mashed
tatoes and shredded cheese.
Alternate layers of mashed
tatoes and ground or chopped moat.
All of these mixed with a rich,
well-seasoned white sauce.
Then we noted potatoes baked

them, Or nicely
