.1 Important Vitamins (Pi'epared br 1 H mttii BUt Peirtmnl of Agriculture.! When neither the food supply nor the purse limits the selection of food, It is possible to afford so large a variety that the homemaker may choose somewhat at random within each of the food groups and be rea sonably sure of meeting the food re quirements of the family. When, as In the drought-affected regions, variety must be greatly curtailed because of food shortage and lack of 'ready cash, tt is necessary to weigh with the ut most care the contributions made by each food material to the dietary. The subcommittee on nutrition, working under the direction of the national drought relief committee, which In clude representatives of the co-operative extension service and the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture, has prepared a list of foods that for the money invested In them offer good or excellent returns, in terms of vitamins, protein, and minerals. This list Is part of the material assembled to aid pro fessional nutrition workers who are called on to advise families In the sections where one-sided diets are common. Modern Kitchen looli I Are Necessary J No workman can do good work with poor tools, and many a house wife struggles needlessly with a balky egg beater, dull or broken knives, or Inadequate cooking utensils. A house keeper of ten years' standing was seen trying to turn fried eggs with a paring knife. When asked why she didn't ut a pancake turner, said she'd never owned one. Check over the kitchen equipment and see if some of the dis satisfaction with "kitchen drudgery" may not be remedied by adding a few time and labor saving devices, or by replacing wornout pieces.

The fairies were so tired from the trip that they fell asleep, but Just as the Fairy Queen was about to go to sleep she noticed that the leaves of the banana trees all around were laughing, actually laughing. "What are you laughing for?" asked the Fairy Queen. "We're laughing because we're al most ripe. It's so Jolly to be almost ripe." "Well, of course, I don't know," said the Fairy Queen. "I've never been a fruit, so I don't know what It would be like to be ripe or unripe." "Ah, but we have such a glorious time growing, and while we last, we are so happy," the banana trees said. "Don't you last long?" asked the Fairy Queen. "Of course, I can un derstand that the bananas wouldn't !! Use of Chemicals Medicine Dropper Handy When Prpar6 br tin I.'nltM SfitM Otosxtmeot of Arlcultur. t t There are a few common chemicals which are necessary to remove stains, and these should be kept In every household. Some of them are poison ous, so don't put them in the family medicine cabinet or In the pantry. The chemicals most frequently needed ere Javelle water, potassium perman ganate, oxalic acid, ammonia water, tnd carbon tetrachloride. Keep thuse cut of reach on a high shelf, together with a medium-sized bowl, a medicine dropper, a glass rod with rounded ends, several pads of cheesecloth or did muslin, a small sponge, and sheets of white blotting paper, suggests the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agricul ture.

' -J i in Low-Cost Foods The food groups mentioned by the committee are: Ceroids, milk and choose, eggs, loan meat and flsh, fruit and vegetable, sugars, fats. Among th Inexpensive protective food listed, with a rough Indication of what each furnishes to the diet, are Included: Milk, eggs, lean muscle meat, liver, kidney, tlsh, shellfish, veg etables, Including tomatoes, thin green leafy vegetables, potatoes, and certain root vegetables, dried peas and beans, fruits, wholewheat products; wheat germ, rice polish, molasses, not highly refined ; butter, cod liver oil, pure dler brewers' yeast. These foods, many of which can be grown on the farm, are recommended In addition to the ce ills, fats, and sweet foods on which too many families depend entirely. AROUND THE HOUSE Never beat a cake after folding In the egg whites. A child's honest questions deserve honest answers. Rill out pastry with light, quick strokes. A heavy hand has ruined many a good pie. Keep overshoes and raincoats clean and In a cool dark place. Rubber de teriorates rapidly in heat and sun light To loosen dirt and save time and wear in laundering dirty garments, wet them, rub soap on, roll them up. and soak them In a small quantity of wa ter overnight After emptying a Jar of fruit wash and dry the Jar, put the top on at once, and put the Jar on a shelf re served for the purpose. When can ning season arrives next year much trouble In gathering and matching Jars and covers will be saved.

"I am devoted to bananas. Yes, you really might say that I was devoted to them. "So are many of us In Fairyland, too, and, of course, in the world of people as well." The banana leaves laughed again. They made such a lovely sound as they laughed. It reminded the Fairy Queen of the sound of a gentle summer rain. "Some of our cousins have traveled on boats," the banana tree said. 'Some have gone on trains, too." "Hut tell me why you don't last very lung?" the Fairy Queen asked. "Because," said the leaves, "we are cut down when all our fruit has been taken.

Potassium permanganate can be used In removing certain stains from all white fabrics except rayon. One or more repetitions of tho treatment may be necessary In the case of per sistent stains. Any pink or brown stain left by the permanganate Is re moved by applying hydrogen peroxide made very slightly acid, If not already so, with hydrochloric, acetic, oxalic, or tartaric acid. Oxalic acid In saturated solution, or lemon Juice, may also be used on cotton, linen, or silk for re moving potassium permanganate stains. Follow by thorough rinsing.
