HURRY!
Due to priorities we are able to get only three quarters

get your orders for Christmas pictures in early before
our film quota is gone. Don't wait until the last
minute, you might be too late.
PARKER STUDIO
ADinor of Sister Mary’s Kitchen.
Before the heating season starts
in earnest it’s a good idea to check
over the entire heating system as
well as the house itself. This year
particularly we mustn't waste heat.
Inspect the windows closely. If
the putty around any of the glass
is cracked or fallen awray replace
it with new putty. You will find
you can do it yourself if you must.
Doors and windows that are loose
should be tightened and weather
stripped. Soot and dirt as well as
cold creeps in around loose doors
and windows.
Check the attic, too, for insula-
tion. It takes a lot of fuel to melt
the snow on the roof. Any Insu-
lating you do against cold will be
just as effective against heat next
summer and in the meantime you’ll
save your precious fuel.
The addition of proper moisture
in the home during cold weather
saves fuel and makes for health.
When the relative humidity is down
to 20 per cent it takes a room tem-
perature of about 77 degrees Fahr-
enheit to make the average person
feel comfortably warm. By rais-
ing the humidity to 40 per cent a
temperature of around 72 degrees
will give comfort. Since we are
asked to maintain an even lower
temperature than the average 72
degrees we must be sure that the
humidity is adequate. You know
"It s not the heat but the humidity”
that overcomes us in the summer
so it’s easy to realize the value of
humidity to controlled heat.
When it comes to the heating
system itself, be sure that the
checks, dampers, feed, clean-out
and ash pit doors fit tightly. See
to it that the chimney and the pipe
leading to it is clean. Any cracks
in the chimney should be pointed
up for the sake of safety and also
to insure a good draft.
Plumbing, too, needs a good
cheek up. Make sure that all drains
are open and functioning properly.
It's so much pleasanter to have
repairs and replacements taken
care of now than on a cold day in
the winter. Furthermore, a minor
repair now may save a major re-
placement in a few months.

If you are planning to renovate
last year's clothes by dyeing thera
before making over, be sure that
the fabric is thoroughly cleansed
before trying to change its color.
Dye will not cover dust or grease
spots.

An old powder puff, obviously not
a feather one, makes a splendid
pad for cleaning silver and brass
and all metals. Wash the pad thor-
oughly and let it become perfectly
dry before using it to apply the
polish.
HD Agent Warns ot
Pantry Saboteurs
Mrs. Miniver of the movies
captured spies in her kitchen,
Texas homemakers aren’t likely
to do that. But they can be alert
to outwit the saboteurs of the
pantry. These saboteurs include
insects, mice, mold and dampness,
according to Loretta Morton,
county home demonstration agent.
Sugar and spice should be kept
in clean tight containers, a spicy
whiff of cinnamon or cloves
greeting you upon opening the
cupboard is a sign you’ve been
caught off guard. Fine flavor is
being lost in the kitchen air.
Flour is best stored in a tight
can, jar or bin which will keep
out light as well as moisture,
mice, bugs and dust.
In this climate bread keeps
best wrapped in moisture proof
paper and placed in a well ven-
tilated box. The bread box should
be scalded, aired and sunned
often. Crackers and crisp cookies
should be stored by themselves in
clean air-tight containers.
Food canned in glasses needs
to be protected from the light
and heat. The light and heat de-
stroy valuable vitamin C and
other food values. Tinned goods
should be kept dry to prevent
rusting. Dried fruits and vege-
tables are best stored in moisture
proof containers in a cool dark
place.

CLUBS CAN HELP: Under the
direction of the Women’s Interests
section of the war department, re-
gional meetings with state leaders
of nationally organized women's
groups are being held in various
parts of the country for the purpose
of focusing the interest of club
women on army problems and on
the part they can play in helping
to stop careless talk, the sort of
innocent remark about Billy's uni-
form or what Mrs. Jones said about
the accommodations at Camp So-

valuable information. The director
of the Women's Interests section
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, is her-
