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

you like them as well as they did
in the experimental kitchen of the
United States Food Administration.
Of course these shortcakes can be
used for other fruits as well as
| strawberries.

2 2-3 cups cornflour, 6 teaspoons
j baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1
I tablespoon sugar, 6 to 8 tablespoons
i fat, 1 cup liquid.

2 1-4 cups rice flour, 6 teaspoons
| baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1
i tablespoon sugar, 6 to 8 tablespoons
fat, 1 cup liquid.

i well greased pan and pat to desired
, thickness. Bake in a hot oven.
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.

Highway Commissioner W. H.
Lynch in discussing street repair
plans for the summer months said he
is preparing to complete the im
provement at Fourth and Chestnut

Extensive building operations are
under way there and as soon as these
near completion the curbing on the
south side of Chestnut street from

At present the highway forces are
busy repairing North Third street

t /'-/ |
Tonight the parade at 7.45 with the Municipal Band, followed by the f %
concert and reception at the plant, and the souvenirs, tickets for which may ,
be procured from "your store" when you are buying Monito Hose—
bring Monito Week to a close.
We want to take occasion to express our sincere appreciation and
earnest thanks to the merchants, through whose assistance it has been
possible. And to the public, by whose support and good will we meas
ure our success. And to our employes, upon whose loyalty and sincerity
NN we have been enabled to establish the highest standard known to the L J
Hosiery business. ji
We believe now at the end of this celebration week we all know each
other better; appreciate each other more. That you realize in Monito Ut "V
Hose a factor which is helping to upbuild Harrisburg, even as we gain a
stimulus for greater endeavor through your approbation.
But we cannot let this week pass into history without a word of
* praise and personal appreciation of our force—those men and women
who in putting their heart and soul into their work have made Monito
Hose the best Hose. It has been our aim to bring into the workshop the
atmosphere of true friendship. We have tried to make our employes
feel that the envelope on Saturday doesn't constitute all our regard for
their welfare; but that by environment and pastime; by factory condi
tions and personal interest we have a keen interest for their health and
happiness, and that the one requisite for employment here has been, is J
and always will be— earnestness, sincerity, loyalty.
NWe thank you, neighbors. We thank you, merchants. We thank KV ji
you, employes. ttv/a
