TWO-MtED WOMAN Wed’sday & Thursday 20c Bargain Days Mrs America, take heart What- ever the wool shortage does to your next winter s coat, it proba­ bly won't be nearly so drastic as the proposed changes for your husband's pants. In the first place, the manufacturers are planning to give him only one pair per suit, And they won't have pleats or cuffs, extension waistbands, or self belts, and all measurements will be limited to achieve a fash­ ionably skimpy effect.

And, so far, home de­ COLMAN fense has been far from good. Housewives, panicky and unpat­ riotic. have been storming gro­ cers' shelves instead of meeting the challenge by planning new menus and more ingenious use of the sugar allotted. Needed for the production of industrial alcohol which goes into smokeless powder, sugar today is as much a weapon of war as a flying fortress. Here are some suggestions from the PLUS government's consumer division on how Mrs. America can do her part on -the home front: Make fewer desserts that require large amounts of sugar. Serve more fresh fruits, naturally rich in su- gar. Use dried fruits, such as rais- ins, dates, figs, prunes, peaches with and apricots with breakfast eal, and in place of candy, less sugar in coffee and tea •stir well what you do use. 1 If you’ve been patriotically i clicking away on a sweater for some soldier boy, stop—unless you More than 232,000 tons of are doing it under the specific di­ scrap rails have been left Imbedd­ rection of the Red Cross.
