The average housekeeper may reduce expenditure by keeping accounts each month of amounts spept for various food products. HELPFUL HINTS, In the first place every home keep er should keep accounts. Do you know any success ful business man who keeps no ao count of his in come and outgo? He is just as rare as is the house keeper who does record her daily ex penditures. Sinca the cost of living is constantly advancing .it is vitally nec essary that deep coneern be paid to reducing certain items of expenditure. Food for the family costs more than any other item, and those who work with the thriftless and improvident know that their condition is largely a matter of what they spend for the in side rather than the outside of the body. Since meat makes up a large part of the ordinary family diet, any economy in the purchase of it will make a no ticeable reduction in the food bill. By using meat substitutes, which are less expensive, but as nutritious, the amount may be cut down by half. The use of cheese, which is rich in pro tein, a pound of cheese being equal to two pounds of meat in food value with much less waste, will prove most sat isfactory. It is a great advantage to market in person; she sees the food products, is able to furnish variety and if she has strength of mind enough to re fuse to buy that which she knows she cannot afford, no matter how alluring, she will find her marketing profitable. The butcher will not give short weight with the customer looking on, though the difference may be small it amounts to much in the course of a year. The cheaper cuts of meat, nuts pre pared in lo.af, eggs in various forms, are all economical dishes when pre pared intelligently. The utilizing of left-overs in the planning of the meals is another im portant item. It goes without saying that the economical housewife makes out her menu days ahead in order to save expense and use those left-overs profitably. Brown bread, white bread or whole wheat bread is made more wholesome by the addition of a few raisins. Fruit and vegetables lend them selves to all sorts of combinations. As soups and salads they are satisfao tory. Something is wrong with everything. We live upon the planet of mistakes. Most of us are misfits. The rest are excuses. I know of no ideal condi tion except the condition of someone else. No human being ever had things just exactly to suit him. The sooner we awake to this truth and make up our minds that if ever'we are to find contentment at all, it will be among things na they are and not among things as they ought to be, the better it will be for us-and also for the un fortunate people who have to live with us.--Frank Crane. DAY WITH PANCAKES. If pancakes are to be light, more mixing will not do, The batter must be thoroughly beaten for five or ten minutes. The frying pan should be verny smooth and fairly hot so the cakes may cook quickly without get ting soggy. Plain Pancakes.-Sift one culpful of flour into a 'basin; add a quarter of a teasp~oonful of salt, one unbeaten egg, andl half a cupful of milk, Mix until smooth, then be gin to beat with a wvooden spoon for a fewv minutes; then add another half cupful of milk and continue beating until air bubbles rise to the top. Fry on a hot griddle and serve with lemon juice and sugar, Cherry Shortcake.-Add to the cherry juice a little cornstarch, cook until smooth, add butter, then the pit ted cherries and place on thle cakes. Serve with the sauce instead of cream. Rice Pancakes.-IUoil a quarter of a pound of r-ice until quite soft, then drain. Mix with it one~ cupful of cream, four wvell beateni eggs, a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, nutmeg to taste, a half cupful of melted butter and suf ficient flour to form a smooth batter. Fry and serve. Serving a thin slice of orange sprin klod with sugar on the nice brown cake, which is but little larger than the orange is a most attractive and delicious cake. Scotch Pancakes-Bleat four eggs with four tablespoonfuls of sugar, Hlave six tablespoonfuls of flour and a pint of swecet milk, mix a little of the .milk with the flour until smooth, add this to the beaten eggs, then add a little salt and mix all together. Put a tatblespoonful of butter on a smooth griddle and pour a cupful of the wvell beaten batter on to the pan, cook until well browned, then spread with tutter and orange marmalade, roll u'p, sprini kle with sugar, serve on a hot dish. Chopped pineapple or other fruits may be served on these cakes, even grated chocolate added just as they are taken from the griddle, duste~ with sugar, is a cake liked very much.
