Practicing a little self control can earn you an extra $1,600 this year, according to JoAnn Mortensen, Utah State University Extension home economist in Salt Lake City. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that a family of four, with children ages 6 to 1 1 , spends an averageof$358.50amonthforfood, assuming all meals and snacks are prepared at home. Thats a family on a thrifty budget. That same family on a moderate budget spends up to $575 per month for food, and families on a liberal budget spend about $693 for food for one month. An average of 11.8 percent of disposable income was spent by Americans for food in 1 990. Of that, 38 was spent away from home. Lets look at lunch costs for a one week period. A lunch eaten out can easily average $5 per work day. On the other hand, a brown bag lunch consisting of a sandwich , fruit, cookies and milk costs about $1.50. There are about 250 work days per year. If you brown bagged at $ 1 .50 per day instead of eating out at $5 per day, Mortensen said you will have saved an extra $875 at the end of the year, or an extra $73 per month. Of course, time is money, too. The value of time spent in food preparation has to be included in the total price of the food. Ask yourself too, if youre getting the most for your food dollar. fresh fruits and vegeAll tables are under $3.50 per pound, except for out of state specialties like blackberries, etc. All bread, rice, beans, macaroni without seasoning mixes are under $3.50 per pound.

American Heart ff: Association ML Skin 4 ? cancer increasing at a year, says ACS The incidence of melanoma skin cancer is increasing at a rate of 4 year, according a to the American Cancer Society. They estimate that during 1992 32,000 people will be diagnosed with melanoma, the most serious skin cancer. Because of Utahs high elevation, the incidence of skin cancer is high, according to a Utah dermatologist. A frightening statistic is that more than 600,000 people will develop skin cancer this year, and it will claim 8,500 lives - 6,500 from malignant melanoma. Area residents are urged to reduce the risk of skin cancer by avoiding excessive exposure to the sun. Fair complexioned people should be particularly careful, says the American Cancer Society. If your occupation exposes you to coal, tar, pitch, creosote, arsenic compounds and radium, your risk factors will be higher. Remember too, that the suns ultraviolet rays are strongest between 10 am. and 3 p.m. Avoid exposure at these times and wear protective clothing. According to the society, sun tanning booths are particularly bad for the skin. The Federal Drug Administration has said a tan obtained in a sun tanning booth might be a health hazard. Tanning booths bombard the body with ultraviolet radiation of two types, ultraviolet B and ultraviolet A. Radiation from these booths can be more intense at the surface of the skin and thus can produce the suns effects in a shorter amount of time. A great deal of credible research supports our concern that U VA and UVB rays generated by the majority of presently used tanning lights cause thinning and aging of the skin, and increase the probability of dangerous skin cancers, they note.
