12 Resolutions
Are Suggested
For Housewife
Ingenuity And A Careful
Budgeting of Time
Are Advised
Here are some hints that might
form the basis for practical New
Year’s resolutions if adopted by the
housewife.
1. Calories, vitamins, minerals,
etc., are going to take a back seat
Don’t be alarmed. The family will
surely be provided with foods that
supply the necessary nutritive qual
ities but don’t stress this all the
time.
2. Early to market beginning to
morrow and there is a reason.
Stores are less crowded, service is
better, there is a greater selection
of food, especially fresh vegetables
and meats, and the rest of the day
is free to go about other tasks un
interrupted.
3. Have a market order. It will
discourage those too frequent extra
trips for a forgotten pound of cof
fee or bar of soap.
4. If you haven’t an emergency
pantry shelf, there is no time like
the present to start one. Make sure
that y u will never be caught with
out something to eat in the house
when your mother-in-law or your
husband’s boss drops in unexpect
edly for dinner.
5. riere is an opportunity to bring
variety into your menus. Have a
new dish at least once a month. It
may be a vegetable that you have
never served or just a new recipe
that someone has told you about.
Seafood offers unlimited opportu
nities to bring new dishes to your
menus.
6. Speaking of recipes, why not
start a scrapboook or recipe file, and
clip the interesting ones that you
see in your daily paper or maga
zines. When you feel that you are
desperate for new menu suggestions
refer to your scrapbook. A book
of this type will put a new slant on
dishes that will interest the family.
7. Do you have a working rou
tine for your kitchen tasks? For
example, set aside one day to de
frost and thoroughly clean the re
frigerator, another to check over
the stock on your pantry shelves, a
definite time to give your order for
staple groceries, another time to
clean the bread and cake boxes, and
so on. You might set aside one
morning in the week that is usually
a dull one and give it over entirely
to putting the kitchen in spick and,
span order.
8. Children’s luncheons need ^
more attention. If the youngsters j
carry a luncheon box to school,
be sure that they have an assort
ment of sandwiches, fruit or cake
and not the same thing day after
day. A thermos bottle for hot soup,
milk or cocoa is an inexpensive
lunch-box accessory and still it
keeps the school lunches from be
coming too hum-drum. A pudding
or perhaps a salad will be a pleasant
addition to the box lunch.
9. This is just another way to
have more leisure. Use the many
delicious canned soups, jellies, stews,
vegetables and fruits with which
your grocer will supply you, in
stead of preparing all these dishes
in your own kitchen. Canned,
strained vegetables and fruits for
babies are recommended by physi
cians for infants. Get several cans
of strained baby food for your baby
then, just to give it a try, instead
of spending weary hours in the
kitchen cooking and purreeing it
yourself.
10. Don’t always have the con
ventional dinner of soup, meat, po
tatoes, a vegetab’e, bread, salad anc
dessert. Try meat substitutes oc
casionally, a salad meal, soup as a
main course and once in a while
omit bread and dessert because there
are interesting dishes to take theii
places.
11. If you feel that cooking is a
burden check up on your kitcher
equipment and if it doesn’t suit you
see what can be done about it. Thii
doesn’t mean that you must have a
new range, refrigerator or kitcher
cabinet. It is the little things that
count. Baking will be simpler and
more successful if you have a ther- \
mometer and heat control attached
to your oven. Measuring will be
more accurate if you discard the
tea cup and get a set of modern
measuring cups. Oven dishes will
be a pleasure to prepare if you have
one of those new flowered baking
dishes that can be served direct
from the oven to the table.
12. If you want to make your]
New Year’s resolution short and]
snappy and to the point, put it this I
way: I resolve to use my ingenuity
and budget my time as carefully as
my money.
Explorers have discovered new
land in Antarctica as big as Texas
and claimed it for the United States
but the speculators should wait un
til the snow melts off before pay
ing $3,000 a piece for any corner
lots, down there.
The flappers are blamed for gig
gling so much, but perhaps you can
not blame them, when you look at
the calves with whom they keep
company.
People complain of dry skins, but
they might not be quite so dry if
they didn’t wet their throaty so
often. (

Lady Says She Took
CARDUI for Cramps;
Was Soon Relieved
Women who suffer as she did
will be interested in the experience
of Mrs. Maude Crafton, of Belle
ville, HI., who writes: “For several
years, I suffered from irregular
trouble and cramping. There would
be days when I would have to stay
in bed. I would get so nervous, I
was miserable. My aunt told me
to try Cardui. She believed it
would build me up, regulate me and
help the nervous trouble. I knew
after taking half a bottle of Cardui
that I was better. I kept on taking
Cardui and found it was doing me
a world of good. I am in good
health, which means a lot to me."
. . . Thousands of women testify
Cardui benefited them. If it does
not benefit YOU, consult a physi
cian. ... Price $1.

Making The Home More Livable
The Correct Living Room Table Lamp Does Its Share
I \\m "SSS I MSHHm \
By Jean Prentice
IT ISN’T that husband or wife is
selfish—but sometimes when they
settle down in their chairs beside the
living room table for an hour or so of
reading, one or the other unconscious
ly reaches out to pull the lamp closer.
And their mate is left out in the
dark!
We’ll have to blame the lamp. For
that doesn’t happen to the persons who
inhabit the living room sketched above.
When the two chairs are occupied, and
books or newspapers are opened, this
lamp is as kind to the eyes of the one
as to the other’s, and serves each
reader equally well. It “stays put” in
the center of the table.
I wonder if the lamp on your living
room table has the good traits of this
one? Your tape measure or ruler will
help tell you. Height of this lamp is
from 23 to 26 inches and the bottom
diameter of the shade (which, by the
way, is of course open at the top) is
between 16 and 18.
And how important are the height
of the standard and the width of the
shade, say lighting scientists! Upon
them depend the proper spread and
softness of the light, so necessary to
easy seeing. Too many table lamps
are so small that at best they are only
ornamental, and entirely inadequate
for the major task of properly lighting
two chairs. The lamp needed here, as
illustrated above, should have several
sockets since the spread of light is thus
greater and the actual amount of light j
to the page is usually more. If there '
are two sockets they should hold 60 1
or 75-watt bulbs.
Particularly good for the table is I
one of the Better Sight Study and
Reading Lamps, manufactured by
many concerns in a wide variety of j
styles and bearing a tag of approval j
showing they have been built according ]
to the wise specifications of the Illumi- |
nating Engineering Society, national
lighting group.
Scientists have designed its lamp
standard and shade*' of correct height
and spread. The shade is white-lined,
thus economically reflecting more light.
A glass bowl holding a 100-watt bulb
distributes soft and glareless light up
and down.
Golden hours of reading beside a
table have a good companion in a well
designed lamp like this one 1

Do they torture you by day?

Whaf is it that keeps hospitals open and doctors
busy? NERVES.
"What is it that makes your face wrinkled and
makes you feel old? NERVES
Nine times out of ten it’s NERVES that make you
restless, worried, haggard.
Do they make you Cranky,

®B1MP gestion. Nervous Headache?
When nerves are over-taxed, you worry over
trifles, find it hard to concentrate, can’t sit still.
Nerve Strain brings on Headache.
Nervous people often suffer from Indigestion.
There may be absolutely nothing wrong with the
organs of digestion, but the Nerves are not on the
job to make the organs do their work properly. , f
Do they interefere with your
|k fl] ^T^lj*r^^work; ruin your pleasure; drive
away your friends?
You’re cheating yourself and the man who pays
you if you work when your NERVES are not
normal.
You can’t have a good time when you are nervous.
You can’t make or keep friends when you are
keyed up and irritable. You may excuse your
self, but to others you are just a plain crank. ~
Gold Hill Route 1
The health of the people in our
section seems to be some better
now than a few weeks ago, a good,
many families had bad colds and
the flu, but glad to report they are
getting better and some, are well
now.
Mr. Lee Troutman and two boy
friends, of Salisbury, visited in tht
home of P. H. Wagoner last Sat
urday. Come again soon boys and 11
hope I can be here to go hunting
with you. I
Mr. and Mrs. David Brown, of
High Point, spent Saturday night
and Sunday with Mrs. Brown’s
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Rufus Lowery. Also Mr. John
Morris and children and Ray, Mary
Ruth, Lee and Lillie Mae Wagoner
spent a while Sunday at Mr. Low
ery’s.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Morgan are
spending a while back at his old
home with Mr. and Mrs. Grover
Williams.
P. H. Wagoner and wife, Mr.
and Mrs. Mack Parker and James
(Billie) Glover spent a while in
the Guilford Co. home near Greens
boro, Sunday. Mrs. Parker and her
brother, James, have a half brother
"Irvin” who is now an inmate at
the county home there. He is get
ting along just fine now.
There is a lot of traffic on the
highway between Salisbury and
Greensboro. We saw two wrecked
cars on our way over to the Guil
ford county home Sunday. Speed
cops were standing pretty often
along the highway, but the people
seem to drive pretty fast just the
same. If all car owners would ob
serve and keep the speed laws of
our highways and drink their in
toxicating drinks at home there
would be but few wrecks and few
people killed on the highways.

he is a soiled collar one on Saturday
