We trust you have made some good resolutions and hope you will be able to abide by them. Our resolu- tion is to give you practical, econom- ical ideas and to write a newsy Mix- ing Bowl column every week. We appreciate your helpful letters at all times. Thank you kindly for your festive messages, and for enquiries throughouft the past year. RESOLUTIONS Resolve to allocate your food al- lowance; One-third for milk and meat; one-third for fruits and vege- tables and one-third for cereals, sugar and' butter. To cook nutritiously â€" only until tender and in wise proportions. Con- sider health and fuel. To storu perishables and left-overs carefully. To operate the home wisely. Resolve to be happy and content with the comforts in the home. Resolve t take care of your health and your family's health. â- Resolve to consider tlie little things you can do for others. Resove to be a good citizen of your community and of your country. TAKE A TIP 1. If you cook in dishes tiiat you can bring right to the table, food will stay bot longer and you will sav^ dishwashing. 2. Sift flour onto a sheet of waxed paper or paper towelling. You will not have to wash a bow! Do not throw the waxed p!4>er away after using. Fold it and store in sifter. 3. Gi-ease new pans slightly and then put in a warm oven and they will l>e much less likely to rust. 4. Use animonia (except where glass is trimmed with gold) to wash dishes, glass and silver. 5. Be careful not to start pre- heating the oven too far in advance. The rin^ring telephone or doorbell is also the signal to turn off the oven if you are not prepared to use it. 6. Y'ou don't have to baste meats if the oven heat is constant. The fewer times you open the door, the more heat and electricity you save. 7. A (fi-eat deal of cooking can be done with heat stored in the electric oven after the current has been turn- ed off. 8. In surface cookery, whtn foods come to a ftdl steam, switch to one o.f the lower positions. It will help i conserve vitamins, too. 0. Do not use a higher heat than necessary. The temperature of boil- ing water is the same whether boil- ing easily or madly. 10. If you soak dried fruit before cooking, do not toss away the water. Cook the fruit in it. It Is far more healthful. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. M. S. asks: Should I use a pressing cloth wilih my new steam iron? Answer: It is not necessary, es- pecially with a" automatic controlled steam iron â€" although it is wise to do so when ironing wool gabardine and serge. Mrs. W. H. asks: How to remove candlewax front line? Answer: Scrape off excess with a dull knife. Place stained portion over several thicknesses of plain blotting |»aper. Touch gently \vlth ii lukewarm iron.
