IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Year 'Round Favorite--Meat Loaf J,, y . f Appetizingly good-->either hot or cold -- brown and juicy meat loaf is a sure mealtime favorite whenever, wherever it is served. Brimming with the good flavor of ground beef, this meat loaf truly rates its best-ever label. Onion, salt and pepper are the simple seasoning accents for the beef, and fine dry bread crumbs keep the texture light.

DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE Some drivers are able to op*; erate their automobiles safely*, and without difficulty during the winter monthB. Others seem to have nothing but trouble. The difference Is mainly a matter of driving skill and proper equipment. First of all, Bnow tires oip chains are a necessity in many areas. Chains will provide better traction, but they may cause problems where the roadways are partially clear and dry. Snow tires give good traction in deep or soft snow; however, they will not prevent skidding on packed snow or ice. There are certain precautions which should be taken . . . 1. Get the feel of the road* way. Start out very slowly. It is both futile and foolish to burn the rubber off the tires by spinning the wheels. Test the brakes gently after the car is in motion, to determine the amount of traction. 2. Adjust speed In accordance with the condition of the road surface. 3. Watch for danger spots ahead and slow down. There may be ice on bridges when the rest of the pavement is clear. Snow remains longer in shady areas. Start slowing down defore you come to a turn. 4. Maintain a safe Interval. This distance will depend upon the condition of the roadway and the speed at which you are traveling. Always leave sufficient stopping space . . . Just in case you need it. ^ i I in W0RIH A TRIP TO CHICAGO'S LOOP TO SEE J BOX OFFICE OPEN DAILY 10 A.M-tUN II A.K Itttf.
