Sciryu Masada. serves it in a course called "chopstick clean ser." after a rather gooey chick on dish sprinkled with sesame seeds. Its purpose is to cleanse the mouth of previous flavors and, at the same time, rinse the chopsticks. Masada prepares them accord ing to Buddhist formula he learned from his father. Diners sit on tatami matting on the floor and are served on I small, low tables. A typical luncheon might include, broil ed mushrooms, seaweed, veget ables fried to a crunchy good ness, rice, pickles, melon baby orchids. blind Mike Sin our grief by looking at h i handicap hopefully."

You buy a refrigerator only two or three times in your lifetime. Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without getting so much as a look at the intricate "works'" that makes it run. How do you dare make 6uch an important purchase without having an expert check it over for you? What makes you so sure you're getting your money's worth when you say, "I'll take that one"? The answer's obvious. You look for the brqrd name on the refrigerator your "guarantee." You've learned to follow this first rule of safe and sound buying: A good brand is your best guarantee No matter what kind of product you want to buy, you know a good brand won't let you down. You know the maker stands back of it guar antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand you know you're right. Read this newspaper to find out which are the good brands (and the stores that sell them.) The more good brands you know, the 6urer you are about all your shopping.
