It looks like success for the dress
with print top and monotone skirt this
Spring, Such a frock - strikes a nice
note for those women who like a touch
of print, but not too much, and who
like the figure flattery provided by a
dark, contrasting skirt. A black tear-
drop motif on a pale green ground is
used for the pretty top of this frock,
with skirt of black 'crepe, Pleated in-
serts on shoulders form cap sleeves to
further accent the fan-shaped, pleated
peplum.

Hello Homemakers! We must be
thrifty! One way to be just that is
to spend every food dollar as wisely
,as possible. Each week when you
purchase groceries see where you can
save twenty-five cents for the extra
War Savings Stamp your grocer has
available.
Everybody's doing it. Yes they are
buying a War Savings Stamp at the
grocery counter on Stamp Day , .
that is every Friday.
Our homemakers are doing it by; '
1, Buying seasonal products.
2. Buying food in the quantities that
they can store successfully,
3. Buying food that they can make
:into nutritious homemade dishes, e.g.,
soup bones for soup, yeast cakes for
quick breads.
4. Buying some; whole grain cereals
to cook instead of packaged cereals.
5, Buying according to a planned
PORRIDGE
Use a double boiler for cooking
porridge, Pour boiling water in top
and bottom parts of utensil and put

If desired, use milk in place of half
or morn of the water. A few raisins
or cooked prunes, cut in pieces, may
be stirred into cereal before serving.
Quantities: Use 2 cups water and
rY4 tsp. salt for (1) % cup flaked

1 tbsp, salt

in the rice, Cook uncovered at tumb-
ling boil without stirring from 12 to
15 mins„ until a few grain on a fork
are soft but not mushy. (Use a large
kettle, it may boil over.) Rinse the

TAKE A TIP
1. To make a clean cut through the
meringue on a pie, use a sharp knife
which has been dipped in hot water.
The meringue will stay high instead of
being crushed.
2, A wooden spoon is very useful
for 'handling clothes whiCh have be
washed in very hot water. Use it to
stir the suds, to work the clothes. up
and down to remove them from the
hot water.
3. Instead of washing the rolling pin
after each use, scrape off the excess
flour and put it back into the flour
bin--it won't stick to the next. dough
you roll out.
4. When there is pie crust left over,
it's a good idea to roll it out, slip a
piece , of wax paper under it and one
over it. Roll it into a tithe shape and
store in the refrigerator. This takes
little space in the electric refrigerator
and it can be used without getting out
the rolling pin and board again. (Be
sure to,' take it out and leave at room
temperature for 20 minutes before fit-
ting into pie plate.)

THE SUGGESTION BOX
Mrs. C. A. J. says: Here's an easy
way to remove burnt food from glass
cooking utensils. Just fill them with
boiling water, add a little household
bleach and set aside td cool. In about
an hour the black crust will lift off,
and after thorough washing, the dish
will be spotless.
Mrs. B. F. says: If you live in
small premiseS, where much of your
clothes drying must be done indoors,
set up your folding wooden clothes
drier in the "bathtub, The "dripping"
problem will be solved.

pensionable, the „ constant delaying.
factor is the unrecorded treatment gap.
For example, it is quite possible that
following his discharge, particularly-HI
he is in a small town, a veteran will
seek medical advice from the local,
physician rather than travel some dis-
tance to regular veterans' doctor.
In time the disease which is the reason
for his visit to the local doctor may
grow into a permanent disabling con-
dition or, may even result in death. If
there has been no record- kept of that
original visit with complete, medical
information there is often almost noth-
ing to support the veteran's word or his
widow's that his military service was
responsible. It means a lot of- work
for the Legion investigators to obtain
such information Sod evidence and
more work, of course, means delay.
Despite these handicaps,,the Legion
has managed to'bridge a 'great many
gaps in veterans' medical histories and'
thousands of pension claims have been
established.- However, a ferverent
hope is that veterans of the present
war will not make' this mistake. If
the history of treatment , is down in-
black and white therei is every chance
of proving the disabling condition at-
tributed t'o service and therefore pen-
sionable, even though such condition
v'as not discovered anti recorded dur-
ing service.
The regulations of the Dept. of
Veterans Affairs provide for free treat-
ment and hospitalization where neces-.
sary for all who have served in this •
present war for' one year after di-
charge from the service. Veterans of
this war should, therefore, report: any
time they need . treatment and thus
create a difinite record of their condi-
tion which may well prove' invaluable
later in the event a claim to disability
pension is made,
