Hence these commodities commodities are expensive, therefore the" Canadian housewife, who is willing to do her bit, will economize on these'j staple articles of food. The willingness of the family to help in this cause will lighten the burden of the housekeeper. Utilize all available foods that are at hand. Use honey and syrup in tHe place of i sugar. Rye flour makes -excellent I bread, muffins and gems. - Cold cooked cooked cereals may be used in muffins, hot cakes and breads. To pire vent waste, grease the cereal kettle very slightly with any good shortening. This prevents the cereal 1 from- sticking to the side of the pan. or kettle. Food to have a good effect upon the body must have sufficient nutriment ' to keep the body in. good condition. Do not stint your table, but rather carefully conserve and utilize all foods. Prevent waste caused by careless and haphazard methods of ; cooking. Plan a definite menu and then carefully follow it. A man needs from twenty-eight | ounces to two pounds of food • daily.
