‘A young woman stood before a
‘display ‘of bags of dried beans in
the super-market, a puzzled look
“on her face.

“Do you suppose these beans
‘have much food value?” she said
_to' me. “My husband says_ his
‘mother often baked lima beans
‘for Saturday night. Of course, it
‘would make a thrifty dish, but
tdon’t want to try to save money at
‘the expense of good nutrition.”

“You don’t need to hesitate.” I
‘said. “Lima beans are a really

ternate layers of the beans and

(Use about 1% cups of the tongue

‘as’ much meat as beans, by weight,

‘with lima beans to make a really
substantial entree with high nutri-
ion.”

NEW DEAPES
FOR OLD

How we cling to the things we
love — patching’ and repairing
to hold them together longer.
Maybe it’s an old chair, a favor-
ite dress, or perhaps it’s a pair
of drapes that..we admire; be-
cause of their texture, pattern
and color. *

Speaking of drapes, a lady told
me of one way to improve the
fabric if it’s chintz, cretonne. or
other figured‘ material, and if
the problem is fading colors. To
renew the color in a flower or
other pattern, first wash and
iron the drapes. While the ma-
terial is still warm from
iron, use crayons of the same
shade as the original color in
your curtains. Trace over the
pattern in the drapes, filling in
the entire area of the design
with the crayon of a proper col-
or. After you've finished and
have the effect you desire, place
a piece of wrapping paper, not
too heavy, over your handiwork
and press it with a hot iron.
This sets or seals the color into
the fabric. This woman says the
job requires patience but it’s
worth it. Your drapes will have
that “new look” and have a new
lease on life. |

FLOATING
CANDLES
Have you ever envied your
hostess those charming little
candles that looked like flowers
floating in a bowl in the center
of. the table?’ Well, you can
make some just as charming
yourself. All you need, to be-
gin with, it a lot of short candle
ends. Divide these as to color,
because if you blend just every
color ,together it will, come out
an ugly brown. So divide the
pink shades, the blues, the
greens and the yellows.
Now, take your fluted
molds and pour some of the melt-
ed blue, yellow, or red candle
grease into it. Enough to fill it
to the top. Take a piece of
heavy cord and push it down
into the wax when it is

_ Hints For Housewives.

Any beauty consultant will tell
you that when a teenager wash-
es her face with soap and water,
it’s a good idea to let the lather
stay on the skin for a minute
or So before washing it off .. .
As.a matter of fact, it’s good
for; skin, of all ages. But, un-
fortunately, the ones who need it
most — the youngsters — don’t
do it because. they feel it’s too
much bother. So:they just soap
their faces quickly,’ rinse it once,
pat it dry, and that’s all. And
since it really is VERY. import-
ant for their young skin to have
this extra lubrication, here’s how
you can train your.daughter or
kid sister to do it without mak-
ing the ritual a bother and ,a
nusiance.

First, have her soap her face
just the way she’s always done
it. Then, tell her to brush her
teeth. After she’s given her teeth
a good, thorough brushing, have
her rinse her face of the soap,
which, by this time, is heavier
and creamier and has done its
lubricating job. Then, have her
rinse just once more, and then

that’s it. Have the

kids try it. It will keep their
complexions clear and clean...
and... also important .. . it
will decrease the number of
times they forget to brush their
teeth.
FLOWER-FLAVOR
BOUQUET

The other day I was at a lunch-
eon where the hostess had ar-
ranged what I thought was a
very novel cemtre-piece for her
table. It was not only: a clever
idea but very practical, and Td

like to tell you about it.

My hostess had her florist
make up eight tiny boutonniers.
There were two sweetheart rose-

to set, leaving about an inch
sticking up for a wick. Place
the molds in the refrigerator un-
til the tallow is hard. This will
take a day or more. Perhaps
it will sink in the middle around
the wick as it hardens.._If so,
fill in this depression with more
wax, and set aside to harden
agal When they are thorough-
ly rd, dip the molds in hot
water tor a minute or so: until
the candle will slip easily from
the mold. Now you have some
of those cute little floating
candles,

Why not make some _ clever
green leaves to float with them?
This is easily done by melting
the grecn wax. Then pour a
blob of it. onto a heavy piece of
wax paper or cellophane paper.
When it is just about set, .take
the paring knife and -cut it into
.leaf shape. Mold the_ edges,
rounding with the fingers. Then,
using a toothpick, or a large pin,
make veins in the leaves. These
will float along beside your
candle and give it a much more
authentic appearance than those
bought in the stores. You can
even glue these leaves right to
the little flowers by using partly

melted wax as glue. Hold in
piace until the wax ‘sets.

ed for a number of years for
a bridge at Castlegar. With
the new development in industry
in the area, we now feel that a

well-organized concerted» effort ©

from all of us will. result | in
achieving this objective,:and that
the best. way-to exert this effort
would be through a Castlegar
District Bridge Committee on
which every district organization
will be represented.- The Cham-
ber of Commerce will support
this committee fully, but will be
represented on it’only to the
same extent as any other organi-
zation.

A meeting is therefore being
held in Twin Rivers hall, Castle-
gar, at 7:30 p.m. on. Friday,
January 4th, 1952, to get the
Castlegar District Bridge Com-
mittee under way. Every district
organization is asked to send a
delegate to this meeting — an
ENTHUSIASTIC delegate who
is actively interested in the
bridge proposal. These delegates
will elect an executive, whose
functions will be to gather in-
formation, make it available for
use, and to plan a campaign.
The remaining delegates will act
as a link between the committee
and their organizations. From
time to time. the committee, will
request help from these organiza-
tions in the form of letters, wir-
es, etc, to various members of
the legislative assembly and
cabinet members. The commit-
tee executive will: supply the
ammunition and direct the oam-
paign. Except for members of
the executive, only a compara-
tively small amount of time wiil
be required of delegates. ™

We are extremely anxious that
every district organizaiion be
actively engaged in pushing the
bridge project. It is omy in this
way that we will get 1. May we
count on your unqualified sup-
port?

The January 4th meeting is
sponsored by ' the Castlegar and
District Chamber of Commerce,
through a committee composed
of A. Anderson, V. Jenks, and
Ross MacDermid, chairman, wno
were appointed to organize the
Castlegar Bridge Committee by
the Chamber.

Will you kindly select a de!e-

gate for this meeting at your.

earliest conyenience and advist
one of the above persons of
your delegates name. If you can
select a permanent delegate,
please do so, but if your organi-
zation is not having a meeting
before January 4th, please see
that an interim delegate will be

WATCH YOUR

POSTURE! .

_ _¥’know, sometimes it’s our
daily habits, like standing in a
certain position, which tend to
rob a woman of her beauty.

An authority on the subject
says, if you would preserve your
beauty AND your health—watch
your posture! Stand CORRECT-
ly, it is more important than
you think!

He says most women have a
habit of standing in a manner
