Page All Housewives There is a new page in "Uncle Sam's Notebook" headed Conserva tion, and it carries various sub heads such as Food, Clothing, Health, Time, and the like. Here, you will admit, is a task to which the women of America must now give their most intelligent and constructive thought. Somewhere re cently the writer saw an old New England slogan which read, "eat it up; wear it out; make it do." That slogan might well hang on the walls of all our homes in this cri sis; in different words it means, simply, "do not waste any food; do not relegate to some dark corner of your closet, clothing which, with a little repair, can still be worn; do not rush to buy new household fur nishings just because the defense worker in your family has now a good salary. FOOD AND CLOTHING If American families are to fol low a thrifty, conservative regime of this sort the burden of its planning and execution will rest heavily upon the women, since it is they who dis pense the greater part of the na tional income. Theodore Roosevelt said in one of his famous speeches that social and economic gains are the result not only of "collar work" but also of "breeching work," and it will be breeching work, in great part, which housewives will have to do if families of up-and-coming Americans are to be induced to "eat it up; wear it out; make it do." "EAT IT UP" me conservauonai sud - neaas mentioned above ? food, clothing, health, time, etc., are, however, in extricably linked, and in the proc ess of conserving food and clothing women must also conserve both health and time. That is why the job involves constructive and in telligent thought. Left-over foods can be made attractive and palata ble and used up so closely that practically nothing will go into the garbage can, but the necessity of serving balanced meals must never be lost sight of. It requires some thing close to legerdemain to use all left-over food, provide adequate meals for the entire family, and still stay within the limits of a war-time budget. A bulletin called "Diets to fit the family income" is available from the U. S. department of agri culture, (send five cents to Super intendent of Documents, Washing ton, D. C., and ask for Farmers' Bulletin No. 1757) which will be of great service to housewives in this important task. It contains planned menus for a week at a time, tables for weekly market lists, diet plans showing the groups of protective foods, and much other information of value. "WEAR IT OUT" It is "something else again" to induce the average family to espouse that part of our slogan which says "wear it out," since everyone likes to have something new and modish to wear. To make acceptable use of clothing that is no longer new in volves careful cleaning and skillful remodeling, plus an accurate appre ciation of color and design. In most of our large cities and many small er ones special day and evening classes for adults offer free courses of study in these fields, of which housewives will do well to take ad vantage. It must be kept in mind that shabby or soiled or definitely outmoded clothing tends to lower the wearer's morale. It is a heavy task which devolves upon American women to keep their families well And smartly dressed in yesterday's wardrobes. T+ ,.1?: .1 .. ... *?. jo wwviuus uiai me stricter-man usual conservation of food and cloth ing must involve a new expendi ture of time on the part of house wives. This in turn should mean a careful budgeting of time for the entire family. The free human spirit dislikes restrictions of all sorts and very few families or individuals ever actually budget their time, but in this war-time crisis "time is of the essence" and should be conserved just as conscientiously as is any other national resource. It seems advisable that families should be in duced to rise and breakfast at a stated time; that each member should do allotted tasks, also at stated times; and that late hours should be discouraged in the inter est both of health and of time-saving. How about it, housewives all? Are you game to work with Uncle Sam in making his conservation plans ef fective? For information in all fields of conservation, write to Superintendent of Documents. Wash ington, D. C., asking for free lists of bulletins available. Specify the Belds in which you are interested. * '? o LOCATING FARM BUILDINGS If you are just considering where to locate your farm buildings, you will do well to keep in mind five important points: namely, (1) ac cess to the highway; (2) protection from prevailing winds; (3) possibil ity of adequate drainage; (4) ade quate water supply; (5) outlook. ? ? ?
