TAKE JAM,LET BUTTER GO
HINTS ON CHEAP LIVING
HOW TO BEAT GROCERS
New York, Jan. 13 Mrs. Julian Heath,
founder and president of the House
wies" League, belle es that the organi
zation has found a way to force down
the price of butter. The plan, in brief.
Is simply this.
"Don't eat butter: eat Jam instead"
By substituting Jellies, apple butters.
Jams, &c. for butter, Mrs. Heath con
tends the housewives of the country will
bring the butter dealers to their senses.
A notice has been sent to all the mem
bers of the league in various large
cities, uring them to cut down their
consumption of butter as rapidly as pos
sible, substituting the Jam diet.
"It has been determined that there Is
plenty of butter In the market, and that
new butter Is coming in well." says Mrs.
Heath "The freezer butter was put
away at 23 to 27 cents a nound. and could
be sold at a profit at 30 to 52 cents for
the best. The high price of butter is
unwarranted."
