Mrs. Beadle Tells
About Clothes Records.
“I have found from keeping
records of clothing expenses last
year that it is better to buy fewer
garments of better quality”, Mrs.
W. F. Beadle told the Home Dem-
onstration Agent at Petrolia club
meeting. About one-seventh of the
family income is usually spent on
clothes. Keeping a record shows
where mistakes have been made
and is the basis for better plann-
ing for the coming year.
Mrs. Beadle has carried out
her plan by buying fewer gar-
ments of better quality and says
that she feels much better dress-
ed. With the advance in prices
on those garments and other wear-
ing apparel, it is very necessary
for families to plan clothing ex-
penditures more carefully, and to
select conservative styles that can
be worn over longer time.

Mrs. Weatherly
Reupholsters Davenport
Mrs. Otis Weatherly, living
room demonstrator of the Con-
way club, is reupholstering her
davenport. Mrs. Weatherly found
when she removed the cover that
the springs in the cushions had
worn through the sacks that hold
them in place. She made new
covers for the springs that held
them securely and tied them to-
gether; replacing the padding and
used new reupholstering mater-
ial for covering.
The springs at the hack of the
davenport needed to be retied.
A heavy hemp cord was used to
hold the springs in place. Padding
will be replaced and the entire
suit will be reupholstered with a
heavy figured cotton fabric.
Mrs. Weatherly chose a brown
background with flowers of blue
and reddish tones which will blend
in with other furnishings. The
entire cost for the reupholstering
of this piece of furniture will be
approximately $8.00.

Whole* Wheat Recipes
Given By Mrs. Howe
Mrs. Clarence Howe of the
Home Makers club told the home ‘
demonstration agent that they
have been enjoying home-ground
whole wheat cereal, as they like
its nutty flavor. The Howes are
using the mill used for grinding
feed and they find it can be ad-
justed for either coarse or fine
cereal. Setting the mill still finer
will give it a whole grain flour
in which are all minerals and
vitamins of the wheat. These are
lost in milling of white flour.
This whole wheat gingerbread re-
cipe has been very popular with
club women:
1-2 cup shortening
1-2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1-4 teaspoon nutmeg
1-8 teaspoon cloves
1-2 cup sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
1 cup molasses
2 1-2 cups sifted flour
1-2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 cup boiling water
Blend shortening, salt and spic-
es. Add sugar gradually and cream
well. Add egg and beat well. Add
molasses and blend. Sift flour
with baking powder and soda 3
I times. Add to creamed mixture,
blending well. Add boiling water
and beat until smooth. Bake in
10 x 10 inch greased pan in mod-
erate oven (350 F.) 50 minutes.
Serve with Molasses Whipped
Cream.
Molasses Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon molasses

Fresh in line, clean of contour, solid
as a combat car but graceful as a
plane, it is one of 23 sparkling new
models that prove you can do it if
you try!
For the very things that made some
people ready to say there couldn’t
be anything new in the 1942 cars
made Buick engineers resolve that
if there were any they would be
better automobiles.
Now they’re here. Every one a Buick
FIREBALL valve-in-head straight-
eight, every single one a honey.
Put foot to treadle in any of them
and you find out in a hurry, how
little defense conditions hamper
men of real skill and alert ingenuity.
Push this beauty, force it through
the toughest going — it will take all
you can give it with frugal ease —
and be fretlessly ready for more.
Y es, go see these cars now and learn
how wrong the fellow was who said
there could be little new in ’42.
No other car has ALL THIS FOR YOU IN *42
