Cans which are just as high as those costing more may be less distance around and so confuse the eye. So, in- stead of relylng upon & lower cost to tempt one to buy, know why the price is less. There is always a reason and some of these reasons are right, and are distinctly set forth so clenrly ln labels that “he who runs may read. Buying the same foods in bulk instead | y of in cartons or other containers is cheaper and legitimately so. Boxes, wrappers, something, and it is to be expected that consumers pay for this outlay, if they choose to buy in small quantity contain- ers instead of in bulk, which is the thrifty method. It tnotsomyw know what you buy, in this latter way, however. The homemaker has to do s bit of experimenting on her own behalf unless each individual item is stam which is the case with crackers. Also the in- tegrity of the shopkeeper enters into the matter. There is scope for an unscrupulous person to substitute a lower grade for the supposed higher one requested, or to shortweight quantities. Because of this it is imperative that the home- maker trade with honest and reliable stores. Shortweighting can be watched, | quality cannot be. It is for the home- aker who would be competent and thrifty to learn about grades, bundl. | concerns and stores she can trust, and to study labels and Government stamp- | ing of grades. My Neighbor Says: ‘When boiling caulifiower tie it in a plece of muslin or a muslin bag tied at top. There will then be no waste. Two or three su.lks of celery boiled with cabbage lessens the disagreeable odor when cabbage is boiling and improves flavor. Moths may be quickly extermi- nated if the walls of closets in- side of trunks and bags are wiped over with a cloth dipped in turpentine. If a little ammonia is mixed wlzh beeswax and turpentine used for polishing floors the wax will dissolve quickly. Dye discolored white stockings.
