Canes oases 25ases {Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When neither the food supply nor the purse limits the selection of food, it is possible to afford so large a variety that the homemaker may choose somewhat at random within each of the food groups and be rea- sonably sure of meeting the food re- quirements of the family, When, as in the drought-affected regions, variety must be greatly curtailed because of food shortage and lack of ready cash, it Is necessary to weigh with the ut- most care the contributions made hy each food material to the dietary. The subcommittee on nutrition, working under the direction of the national drought relief committee, which In- cludes representatives of the co-opera- tive extension service and the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture, has prepared a list of foods that for the money Invested in them offer good or excellent returns, in terms of vitamins, protein, and minerals. This list is part of the material assembled to aid pro- fessional nutrition workers who are called on to advise families in the sections where one-sided diets are common.

There are a few common chemicals which are necessary to remove stains, and these should be kept In every household. Some of them are poison- ous, so don't put them in the family medicine cabinet or In the pantry, The chemicals most frequently needed are javelle water, potassium perman- ganate, oxalic acid, ammonia water, and carbon tetrachloride. Keep these out of resich on a high shelf, together with a medium-sized bowl, n medicine dropper, a glass rod with rounded ends, several pads of cheesecloth or old muslin, a small sponge, and sheets of white blotting paper, suggests the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, If the nature of a stain Is not known and it does not appear to be greasy, sponging with a wet cloth may be effective. Try this on sowe part of the garment that will not show, un- less you are sure the faliric will not water spot or lose its color. Clem ieals should not be used until after water has been tried, except when the fabric is unsuitable for water treat. ment, Potassium permanganate can be used in removing certain stains from all white fabrics except rayon. One or more repetitions of the treatment may be necessary in the case of per sistent stains. Any pink or brown stain left by the permanganate is re moved by applying hydrogen peroxide made very slightly acid, if not already so, with hydrochloric, acetle, oxalic, or tartaric acid, Oxalic acid In saturated solution, or lemon juice, may also bo used on cotton, lien, or silk for re moving potassiom permanganate stains.
