Elizabeth, Dec. 15—Ways in wMch
families may reduce the food bill
without lessening the percentage of
nutriment or seriously affecting the
cheerfulness of the diner were indi
cated in a talk given before the mem
bers of the Elizabeth Housewives
League and others. The speaker was
Miss Elizabeth Mann, of the domes
tic science staff at Teachers' College,
Columbia, and an excellent presenta
tion of the subject, "The Food Prob
lem of the Housewife," was given.
Miss Mann was introduced by Mrs.
Donald M. Liddell. the president, af
ter a few items of business had re
ceived consideration. Throughout
her talk Miss Mann kept to the fore
the idea that thought, study, knowl
edge and judgment are especially im
portant factors in the business of
housekeeping, and her address would
have been a revelation to that type
of girl who imagines that "going to
housekeeping" is the simplest known
undertaking.
The necessity and development of
the cold storage method of preserving
food were briefly described by the
speaker, who, from this point, went
on to describe the individual house
keeper's opportunity and danger in
buying in quantity. Regarding the
danger, Miss Mann spoke of buying
apples by the barrel, and of the fre
quent discovery that the smallest of
them were not on the top. Trouble
of this sort could be obviated by buy
ing standardized fruit and vegetables,
bearing the packer's or dealer's
name, and Miss Mann said that it
was also but fair to the man who
sought to be honest with the public
that he be given patronage.
Planning a meal before going to
purchase the articles for it was rec
ommended, Miss Mann saying that it
was a mistake for a housewife to go
to market without an idea of what
was in the market and of what she
wanted. She said that the best way
to build a menu was to build it
around some seasonable article. Her
illustrations were clear and practica
ble. She showed how the decision,
for instance, to have a heavy soup
would suggest lighter food for the
subsequent courses, and how the se
lection of a hearty dessert would
suggest a lighter meat course than
when a dainty, light dessert was
used.
Miss Mann spoke of the high price
of potatoes and of the wisdom of oc
casionally substituting rice, samp or
hominy. She told how to combine
any of these with gravies or sauces
that would make them more accept
able to the members of the faniilv.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY
SOME RED GROSS SEULS
She seemed like α pretty chllil as
she sat In the revolving chair before
the doctor at tho Tuberculosis Clinic.
The history sheet showed her to be
sixteen years old. It also conveyed
I the Information that she had been re
; ferred to the tuberculosis division by
j the nurse employed by a local cor
I poration to watch the" health of era
ployea.
"1'lease, doctor, let me go back to
work," she pleaded.
The doctor glanced at the chart
and noted that 011 September 9, the
day when she first visited the clinic,
sho weighed 119 pounds, and that
Bhe now weighs 113%. He looked at
her drooping shoulders, at her nar
row chest, at her tired brown eyes.
He glanced at the result of the sput
um analysis. "Positive" it read in
big accusing letters. All the signs
before him were eloquent of rapid
iecllne.
"I can't," ho responded.
"But I must work," sho Insisted.
"Why do you have to work?" he
inquired.
"I must eat, I must dress myself,"
jhe answered.
"Doesn't yout father do that for
fou?"
"I have no father."
"Your brothers, then?"
"I have no brothers."
"Your mother."
"My mother, I havo to keep my
namma. She is a practical nurse but
he can't get cases. It is up to me."
"Child you ought to be In a hospl
al right now," said the doctor.
'Would your mother let you go?"
"Yes, mamma wants me to get well
nore than she wants anything else in
he world," said the girl very seri
>usly.
"How would she get along?"
"She'd manage somehow. Have you
place in the hospital for me?"
"No, wo haven't, and it's a dis
race that we haven't," replied the
octor. "You should bo tucked in a
ospltal bed this very minute but wo
aven't a bit of room for you. You're
>ughing, you're losing weight, you're
jnning a temperature but the best
e can do is to put you on the wait
ig list. Rome day, if it s not to late,
we'll get you Into the hospital."
The tired brown eyes filled with
tears, but the drooping shoulders
braced themselves gallantly.
"I'll fight just as long and as hard
as I can," said the wee slip of a girl.
"I hope for mamma's sake that my ,
turn won't come too late." I

STOMACH UPSET? ;
' Get at the Real Cause—Take Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets
That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment—clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
i Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles. I
If you have a bad taste in your j
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor, i
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive .ablets, the sub
stitute for calomel.
I Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
griping, cramps or pain. _ _ I
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.
At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

Cincinnati Authority Tells How Ï
to Dry Up a Com So ι
It Lifts Out.
You coi η-pestered men and women j
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes (
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn stops soreness at ο
once and soon the corn loosens so It
can be lifted out, root and all, without E
pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone J
costs very little at any drug store, but '■
is sufficient to take off every hard or î
soft corn or callus. This should be c
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said r
not to inflame or even Inltate the sur- v
rounding tissue or skin.;—Adv. 4l
