Hominy Grits
Spuds Substitute
The current potato shortage
is no problem in southern
homes. For generations they
have served hominy grits
whether there was a shortage or
not.
Hominy grits are more than
a mere substitute anywhere in
the South, they are an every
day standby. In iact, grits are
commonly known as the "po
tatoes of the South." Northern
visitors are amazed to meet
them at breakfast as a cereal,
at lunch as a vegetable and at
dinner with gravy or butter.
One good reason for this
popularity is the easy prepara.
tion. Grits cook in 25 or 30
minutes.
. Then too, grits can be quite
versatile, as demonstrated by
this delightful grits ring with
Creole shrimp. A real specialty,
it- will meet with quick ap-
proval with your family and
friends.

the towel that was soaked in bleach!
Why, except for stubborn stains,
you need never bother with bleach
