“With the present price of foon
products we are very fortunate
that a number of good cheap sub
stitutes with a food value equal1
as great as the higher priced ma
terials can be secured." says Mi
Marcella Arthur, spcciilist ir
Home Economics with the Exten
sion Division. In making the foi
lowing recommendations, however
the Home Economfcis force recog
nizes the fact that the taste of
many of the Arkansas men win
have to be reconverted and that
the housewife will have to use con
sider>ble judgm m. in recon t4u ‘
ing her menu.
COOK WITH COTTONSEED OIL
It should be known that otton
seed oil can be useu for,. cooking
purposes instead of bufter or lard
and that all of the vegetable fat;
are far better for us than the ani
mal fats because they are more
quickly, easily and thoroughly ai
guested and assimilated. Rice an;
macaroni can be used instead of
Irish or sweet potatoes ana th=irj
food value is practically the same.
Good dishes can be mad from rice,
such as soup, pudding, croquettes,
scalloped rice, plain boiled rice,
rice muffins, griddle cakes, fritters,
etc.
USE BEANS, PEANUTS INSTEAD OF MEAT.
Beans, peanuts, cheese and mi’k
should be substituted for meat.
Dry, fat meat is less valuable food
than fresh meat but fresh meat is
not worth the money asked for it
when we consider the value of the
cheap substitutes which do not con
tain the harmful toxins that heavy
meat eaters are forced to consume.
Beans are especially desirable sub
stitutes for meat because of their
high nutritive value but we must
avoid their continual use since it
takes a long time to digest them.
Such dishes as Boston baked
beans, bean loaf, bean soup, bean
puree and boiled beans seasoned
with bacon fat, salt and pepper or
white sauce are delicious and
should be enjoyed by all the family.
Peanuts, although generally
classed as nuts, can also be utilized
to a good advantage in our menu
as a substitute for meat. There is
an abundance of peanuts to be
found in nearly every section of
Arkansas at a very reasonable
price and the housewife will find it
a decided advantage to use them
to make cookies, butter and other
dishes similar to tnose made when
using beans.
Cheese is one of the most valua
ble substitutes for meat although,
of course, more expensive than
beans or peanuts. Its value can
easily be seen, however, when we
realize that one pound of cheese
gives three times as much energy
to the body as one pound of meat.
Like beans, cheese is often ob
jected to because it is considered
hard to digest. However, this is
due to the way in which it is
cooked. Cheese that is cooked
untii hard and leathery or stringy
or is swallowed in pieces as large
as the end of your finger is certain
to be hard to digest. We can ^id
the digestion of cheese by grating
it, heating it at a very low heat, and
masticating it thoroughly. Sug
J gestions for the use of cheese are:
Cheese fondu, cheese scuffle,
cheese sauce used in connection
with vegetables, cereals and other
foods.
Milk and eggs are especially val
uable as muscle building foods.
One quart of milk or eight eggs
have the same value as of a
(pound of lean beef but for too
many of us the eggs are unobtain
able on account of high prices.
• Consequently, milk, beans, cheese
or peanuts must be used instead.
MAKE BREAD WITH RICE MEAL.
With flour at $5.50 per IOC
pounds, rice meal can be substi
tuted for our bread flour in making
rreads. However, where we havf
starchy vegetable such as rice o
nacaroni. corn or potatoes, breac
not absolutely necessary. Th>
..arch furnished in the br^ad i'
nade from wheat flour and the pro
tein which tne bread contains wi
oe obtained in sufficient quantities
from the cheese, milk, eggs, pea
nuts, etc., which are used as sub
stitutes for meat.
SAVE VOUR TURNIPS.
If a supply of winter turnips is
on hand pull them up and remove
tne tops to within a. half inch of the
root. Do not cut off any of the
small roots of the turnip. Place
the turnips in a heap and covet
with a layer of nay,then soil. Now
protect the bank by a cheap shed.
Backed in this way the turnips
may be had all through the winter
as desired.
WHY IT WILL PAY TO WINTER CATTLE.
^ha high price of all kinds of
fresh meat is here to stav. Ar
kansas is sure to become a great
cattle state and it will pay every
farmer to get in on the ground
floor of this business. The popula
tion of the United States has in
creased abont twenty four million
j people in the past dozen years
| while the number of cattle, pigs
! and sheep show a total of about
twenty-five million head during the
same time. Why not buy more
livestock now and turn your money
over with a big profit when neces
sary? J. H. McLeod and D. R.
Forrester, Animal Husbandmen
with the Extension Division, Old
Statehouse, Little Rock, will be
glad to cooperate with farmers by
helping to buy livestock or by giv
ing livestock infornpation.

"Make Arkansas Tick-free by
1920. This can be done if the
farmers and business men of the
state who recognize the livestock
possibilities of Arkansas will con- i
tinue to cooperate." says Dr. R. N.
Gow. state yeterination with the
University of Arkansas. At least
! six counties will be placed in the
; tick-free area by December 1 and
fourteen other counties are ready
to begin work at a very early date
if sufficient funds are available.
On November 7 five counties sig
nified their desire to have system
l atic work beg'n at a very eariy date
by voting favorably on the question
i of tick eradication. The tick must
j go before Arkansas can become a
great cattle state.
The Vi-o-lin-ist.

"It's a funny thing about these
here vi-o-lin-ists 'es they call 'em :
now-a-davs,” remarked the Sage j
as he read a window card announc
ing the appearance of a famous so
loist in a neighboring city.
"When I wuz a young fellow we
uster call ’em fiddlers an' if I'm
enny judge a tall they cum a whole
lot nearer furnishin’ real musick
than these here long haird furrin
ers thet has tu look at ihe musick .
all the time they're playin.' Ire-:
collect a feller named 'Lias Smith
in our neighborhood thet could play
enny piece you'd ask him fer an'
he’d play it on three strings most
uv the way thru. He wouldn't
uf knowed a piece uf musick if he'd
a seen one 'cause he couldn't even
read printin."
Why Uncle, remarked one of
the little audience, "I thought 1
heard somebody say you have a
grand-daughter who will graduate
from a conservatory of music soon.
Isn't she a pretty clever violinist?”
The old man’s eyes brightened
and he threw his shoulders back.
“Is she? Wall say! Jest put a
piece upon that musick rack uv
hern an' hand her that fiddle an' i
bow an' b'leve me you never haard 1
enny better in your life. I'll bet
this feller thet’s got his picter on
this here card can't hold a candle ■
tu ner. But then 1 call her a fid- ;
dler even tho she says she's a vio
lin-ist.”_

Everybody knows that mileage is the
Supreme Test of an Automobile Tire. For
the same reason the Supreme Test of *'Saw
Test" "Is Yearage."
There you have the reason for its tre
mendous popularity. As a rule people know
furniture when they use it. The outside ap
pearance is not always indicative of inside,
worth. The only exception to this rule that
we know of is the "Saw Test." Because
everyone who has used it will tell you that
it is every bit as good as it looks. You
don t buy "Saw Test" Furniture on faith.
No siree! You buy it with the positive cer
tainly that it will look up to its appearance
as long as it lasts. That will be for sever
al generations.
We are strong on Rugs and Draperies.
Especially the newer designs. Those that
have so much snap and beauty. They will
make your home a most enjoyable place.
