Show Household Economies By Andre Dupont Dapont m I Take two women and give each the samo sum of ot money and the th One who is isable able ble to get the best value for tor the amount she spends is by t far r the richer person Perhaps Ps two families live Inthe in inthe inthe the same flat house houM One man earns carns twenty dollars a week and the other twenty Now if It the Wife of the twenty five man spends all his income every wee week while the wife wite of the man who earns but twenty lives comfort comfortably bly but manages to save even evena a dollar doUar a week she is far tar richer than the first woman This year more than ever it Is necessary for tor a woman to learn how to buy for tor the happiness of the family its well being and prosperity sometimes sometimes sometimes some some- times its very existence depends upon her understanding this important detail i In the house household old the only way to buy economically economically is to plan the work ahead Do not buy for tor one meal at a time A cauliflower of good size that costs p perhaps 18 cents is much cheaper than a skinny little one at ten that Is not half haIt the size because the larger one will do for two meals while the little tittle one Is scarcely enough for one And so with nearly everything for the table Now this sounds as If I t was advocating very monotonous meals which is far from being the case In cold weather most f food od products If well wen cooked will keep for at least two or three days das I Suppose for tor instance on Thursday you have creamed cauliflower roast beef baked potatoes with canned pineapple for fot dessert More than half of all these things is left and put carefully in a cool place not to be touched until Sat Sat- Fridays Friday's dinner Is fish of ot which enough is left to be creamed for tor Saturday mornings morning's breakfast On I Saturday y the remains remain or the th roast beef beet ate art either served cold or cut in sma small i I square pieces and baked with half a aa acan J can of tomatoes Twenty minutes before they are done I the top of the balin baking dish Is thickly I covered slices of buttered bread that come out of the oven a a- beautiful bea light brown toast tasting deliciously of the beef and tomatoes This Is truly a dish fit for a king At the tho same time the beef beet is baking ba the tho cauliflower is also undergoing a a- transformation It Itis is cut in small pieces mixed with J bread crumbs and grated cheese and I Ihas has a little milk or the remains of ot the i i cream sauce poured over it ft Potatoes are also baked at this time is the most nutritious and economical way It Is not even necessary to serve the remains of the pineapple as it came from the can for it can be made to togo togo togo go twice as far tar by being changed into Inlo pineapple tapioca It is made exactly the same as the familiar apple tapioca but it must not be put Into the oven oven oven- this toughens toughen II pineapple sO pineapple so the tapioca tapioca- must be cooked on top of ot the stove sloe Always try to get set as much work from the amount of gas consumed in your stove as possible For Instance with roast meat serve sere baked baIted potatoes or macaroni or any other baked baIted dish for thus two or three different articles can j be cooked coolE d with the same amount of ot gas If It you ou are only going to use the I top of ot the stove never light the oven Just to balte babe a few potatoes AH An these theRe are small details but It is always the little things that run away with the most money It Is very ery extravagant to bu buy In ex ex- ex small quantities You Tou often waste a cent or more quite unnecessarily unnecessarily by buying butter bUller or coffee by the halt half pound With butter bulter at 45 cents a pound for tor instance you buy a half pound for tor 23 cents or a quarter for 12 Which is at the rate of ot 46 and 48 46 cents a pound respectively If It you give as much tho thought to making the money you spend for the table go as far tar and get as good value as ag for example the amount you spend for dress you will willbe willbe I be a great improvement on many women women women wom wom- en I meet every day in the markets |
