Wilson Tolls Housewives How to Curb Husbands i RAPS RICH FOR WASTING The rolling pin Is the best strike remedy, if properly nppl'wd nutl lu time. "3trlte and more strikes." Tvery day there aro new ones. More men out of Trorlc and more families trjlnc to stretch one week's rations over two weeds' meals," said Mrs. Mnr.v A. Wilson, food economist of the Kviv NINO Public Ledoeb, at the food fall' in the First Ttcglment Armory, yester day. "What would happen if the house keepers struck?" asked a mlddlo-nj;cd housekeeper iu .the audience, nud It looked as though n sympathetic strike might be considered and a walk -out ordered at ouce. "I think they'll have Jn dn It if Ahese other strikes eontmue," Mrs Wilson -went on. "Something must be done to brine down the rot of livlnc so that the children will not be under fed. Siity-fi'.o per cent of them in children's hospitals are thero because they are underfed. "Whilo rich people waste and labor refuses tc work the prices co up nnr" bibles starve. Only this morninp I passed a garbage can that contained enough spoiled nnd wasted food to feed the family a week. A piere of meat, a cup of lima beans, a half a loaf of bread that's the sort of wasle that raises prices beyond the reach of the poor man A rich waster i Hie mean est person there Is. I "Hut it isn't only the nrli who , URSte. Only oue in "00 butcrs nf meal take the trim. A family of four should not need to buy oil eieeptins for mak Ing crullers and salad dressings. Enough fats can be rendered from the ! mutton, pork nud beef trim to meet all other cooking needs." Mrs. Wilson told tile housekeepers that they should strike if their hus- I bands suggested striking, but to make , their strike first and with n rolling pin. "All the food economy in the world won't make up for the lack of production, nnd what wn need right now Is n combination of thrift and production so that nc can all have a square meal." The square-meal Idea appealed lu the audience, who dropped their pencils long enough to applaud. In purchasing meat, Mrs. Wilson urged all housukeepers to make use of the trim, iiiakln slock from the bonce ami gristle, and preparlug a scrapple from the small pieces of meat aud gristle that cling to the bone. These should be removed from the bone nnd put through the meat chopper. A half cup of meat, two cups uf stock, a half cup of oatmeal aud a half cup of corn mcnl should be cooked together for an hour nnd seasoned with a teaspoon of salt, half teaspoon of pepper and a quarter teaspoon of poultry seasoning. A meat-cutting demonstration was given last night nt the Puumo lifibann booth by Christian Jlllwanger. A talk on the use of cheaper cuts of meat was given by Sirs. Wilson, together with n number of recipes. Ooveriiiiient inspce tion was described by Mrs. Klnlnysnn. Tomorrow evening Mr.. Wilson will announce the winners of the prir.es in the biscuit contest.

I stores ca :: A BIG SURPRISE TO MOST PEOPLE What would you be liable to say to the man or woman who would tell you that most of the meats and quite a few standard groceries were being sold in the American Stores at considerably less money than these same goods were sold for one year ago today? yet the fact remains. Recognizing that your interest is our interest, the immense buying and distributing power of this organization is co-ordinated and operated along the lines of scientific control and economic management, having in mind the producing of merchandise at the lowest possible cost consistent with quality in a word the holding down, and wherever at all possible, the lowering of the cost of living. In these days when the price of shoes and all kinds of wearing apparel is soaring it behooves wise house keepers to pay greater heed to their table cost. For this reason this advertisement should determine, once and for all, that your money should be spent where the purchasing power .of your dollar is the greatest-. That place, in the judgment of housekeepers who know, is an American Store.
