War Time Economy By Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn THE housekeeper is confronted with a most difficult propo sition. On the one hand she is asked to reduce her consumption of wheat, meat, sugar and butter, the conservation of these being neces- j sary in order that the government j will have at its disposal the required, amount of these commodities to send over to the soldiers and citizens of our allies and our own soldier boys doing valiant duty in the European: camps and those in the American training camps as well. On the other hand her first duty is to her own family. They must have all the foods they require to keep them in good health and capable of perform ing efficiently their daily tasks. She ; has the constantly increasing cost of all foods to take into consideration, and so a revision of receipts and j methods has become necessary in order to attain any degree of satis faction. We are finding that many of the food article we once thought luxuries have become necessities be- ! cause the well-known daily foods have become scarcer. We have learned many things during the last few months concerning foods —the j substitution of rye, cornmeal, buck wheat and soy bean meal for white, flour may never have been possible! unless war drove the American women to their use. Peanuts, beans, cheese and cereals have been talked of for years, but we have actually begun to relish them better. But ter. cream and olive oil will never become a real necessity again be cause we are demonstrating that other vegetable oils can be used with j more uniformly good results at a greatly reduced cost. The liberal use of fruits has been productive of a reduced consumption of sugar. We I have learned that with the in- j creased cost of eggs, that by increas- j ing the amount of baking powder' we might increase the number of; eggs in cakes, breads and puddings; without an appreciable change in I lightness or texture, and that by in creasing the baking powder and ex tracts we make up for the lost flavor of butter or eggs in same. Baking powder and extracts are not expen sive and we would not hesitate to use them in lieu of the expensive articles. In the uncertainties of deliveries to-day and scarcity of all foods in the usual form it is wise to have on hand several dozen cans of milk— condensed milk whenever sugar is to be used and must be economized and evaporated milk for bread, soups, sauces, etc. It is interesting to learn the many uses to which it can be put. To have whipped cream for cocoa, fruit gelatine, ice cream, par faits, etc., requires not only expendi- I ture of more money than most of us] feel inclined to give for this purpose, j but it usually requires to be ordered l a day ahead. To whip evaporated milk use small or baby cans, shake , well and place in saucepan of cold ■later, which should be allowed to oome slowly to boiling point, at which time remove from boiling water, shake can vigorously to mix thoroughly fat globules which have WBf Elas tine-' jßßgk HW| Effect an Astonishing Reduction H in Stout Figures BACK and FRONT LACE Hips, bust and abdomen reduced 1 to 5 Inches, you look 10 to 20 pounds lighter.

Condiments A trained home economics person recently expressed surprise that any housewife should not know what a condiment is. As a matter of fact few laymen do know exactly what this word means. The dictionary definition reads: "A sauce, relish, spice or the like ! used to season or give relish to ! food." Condiments are largely aro matic fruits, seeds and leaves con taining volatile oils. The term, how ever, is usually applied to sauce or appetizers containing those ingredi ents such as horse-radish, chili sauce, Worcestershire ketchup, etc. These have a real value in the diet because of their mineral salts and because they stimulate the flow of the digestive juices. They should never be used, however, to disguise poorly prepared food or to stimulate a false appetite. In these days of food substitutes, condiments have a real part to play. They can help make palatable the cheaper cuts of meat and they can add flavor to fish or oysters. Every war garden has its full quota of tomato plants. The fol lowing receipt for chill sauce will take care of some of the surplus to matoes: Scald and peal twenty-four ripe tomatoes; chop these up with two red peppers, two green peppers and two large onions. Put into an enameled saucepan and add the fol lowing: 4 cupfuls of vinegar. 11-2 cupfuls of brown sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls of salt. 2 tablespoonfuls of whole all spice, 2 teaspoonsful of ground ginger, 2 tablespoonfuls of whole clover, 2 teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, 2 teaspoonfuls of ground nutmeg. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken and the onions are well done; this should not take over an hour. Remove from stove. Put the chili sauce into jars and seal while hot.
