When it comes Lo articles, such as clothing. it is a pity to keep them either against a rainy ¥ or another use if we can afford to get new ones, when these might re-| turn to style, though perhaps they | vever will. It is far wiser to give articles to some one who can make immediate use of the garments, some one to whom the clothing would be of immense value, far beyond their in- trinsic worth because of their time liness. We are spared fear of moths We are increasing our closet room We are putting things to good use here and now. And so we find that saving is com mendable when it signifies thrift, but when it means hoarding it is quite the reverse. It may even become a fault! replaceable MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKF.

When what we keep is stored with the thought that some day it may fill a need, it is a ques- tion whether the room not of greater value than the article and whether the time it takes to keep it_in good condition is not wasted. Modern housing conditions impress these thoughts on the efficient hom: maker. It was ngt so in olden days. There were plenty of excellent rea- sons why keeping discarded articles was important. For one thing, re- placing wares was difficult. It was not a question of money, as is gener- lly the case nowadays, but of the | actual finding of similar things. Fre- quently it meant sending across the water to get, and a prolonged wait Until the new things came it was wise not to discard the old Past Conditions. Also there was -gneat -stovage space in the huge attics of old-fashioned houses, and if the attics overflowed 8s sometimes was. the case even when they were supposed to be “ample.” then lofts of barns were requisitioned.

FOOD VALUE: Climate and soil combine to make California Prunes a valuable, eco- food for year-round use on’ your 1. Prunes are rich in fruit sugar—sugar in its most easily digested form. 2.Prunes are more than 607 carbohy- drates—the part of any food that yields energy. 3.Pound for pound, prunes yield more energy than most foods—meats, cereals and vegetables. HEALTH VALUE: California Prunes be- long in the well-balanced meal 4. Their minerals act as a tonic, for they check the “acidity” of other foods. 5.Doctors recommend them as a mild, effective fruit laxative. 6.Prunes contain health-giving vitamins. For perfectly good reasons prunes belong in the well-balanced diet DO YOU know those reasons? They are the kind of facts that belong in your letter to the Prune Contest.

Yet there are 141 cash prizes, with a first award of $1500. Write and mail your letter today. Meats and cereals, used so gen- erously on most menus, are whole- some and body-building, if properly served. But their tendency is to produce “acidity.”” They need the natural balance of prunes served with them. Prunes check “acidity.” Prynes are mildly, wholesomely laxative. In addition to their healthful qualities, prunes with meat are a de- licious dish—an unusual, welcome dish that will delight your family. Surprise them with this recipe, for instance. It was prepared by one of the nation's famous cooks. Prune Croquettes to Serve With Roast Pork or Pork Chops: Soak one pound of prunes in quart of cold water. Simmer till very fender; cool, drain, remove pits, and mash pulp through a coarse sieve. Add orange or lemon juice to flavor and enough fine bread crumbs to make quite stiff. Then form inlo balls as large as walnuts. Roll in a well beaten egg, then in flour. Place about the pork roast half an hour before removing it from the oven, or in the fal in the frying pan when the chops are fmished, and cook a golden brown. Keep California Prunes on hand. Serve them at luncheon and dinner as well as breakfast. Every Cali- fornia Prune is plump, tender, full- flavored. All its richness and flavor was brought out by the long, sunny California days.
