Suggestions for Food Conservation
If you have discovered any helpful
home economies, tell your neighbor and
the Patriotic Food Conservation Com­
mittee.
Peanut butter is the cheapest food on
the m arket today. It is very nutrit­
ious and wholesome.
If you have not already "p ut down”
your next w inter’s supply of eggs do
it at once. Use w ater glass. Our re­
liable druggists have it, and will tell
you how to use it.
Use all the potatoes you can for
bread making thus saving flour.
As far as possible use foods that are
local products, thus saving carrying
charges in these days of car shortage.
Some sections of our country are re­
lieving the scarcity of farm help by
organized effort oi business men who
plan to spend their vacations by "w ork­
ing on a farm .” Many merchants are
using fewer clerks in their stores, and
women are taking places formerly filled
by men.
