He must bank your coupons before he can buy more supplies. Do Use the larger coupons when possible. Save small for emergency. A 14-point item may cost you 16 if you have only 8-point coupons to spend. Do Buy fresh fruits and vegetables, but only in quantities you can use quickly.

They lose nutritive value if left too long. Do Use out-of-season fresh vegetables, like tomatoes, in salads. They'll supply more nutritive value for money spent if served fresh. Do Shop around if you like. Points are the same in every store.

Prices may not be. Do Watch price ceilings of rationed as well as non-rationed foods. Do Plan, cook and use your coupons wisely. Give your menus eye and appetite appeal! It can be done. Don't Use commercially canned foods if you have home canned ones just because you now own a ration book.

They are rationed because they are scarce. The more saved the better your country's food supply will be. Don't Splurge on raisins and pineapple until you know you have coupons to spare. Don't Dribble your coupons over unplanned day-to-day buying. It's hard on your grocer's banking system.

GEORGE W.

CRANE CASE 0-105: Henry aged 27, is an excellent mechanic. "But he is very inconsiderate of my wishes," his wife tearfully. "He will not give me a penny of my own, but insists on doing all the purchasing, even to my rouge and face powder. If friends drop in unexpectedly, I may be embarrassed by not having enough bread to make sandwiches and not a dime in the house with which-to buy a loaf. Menus are planned as far below this budget as it seems necessary or practical.

Because of excess canned goods some of you will begin with a smaller coupon budget than others. Food Supply Will Vary DISTRIBUTION PROBLEMS makes it difficult for anyone to know what foods are available in every section of the city. To make the war-time menus of the greatest value to the largest number of Detroiters, they will be planned on the basis of the foods which, seem to be the most plentiful substitutes suggested when and where they can easily be made. No provisions are made for luncheons and breakfasts. These are important, of course, but in few households do they present a problem.

Breakfasts are usually a standard type with non-rationed cereals, milk and fresh fruits playing the important part. Careful conservation of dinner left-overs provides many an appetizing luncheon. Fresh vegetables and fruits will now make up a much larger portion of the foods we serve. These are relatively expensive not in coupons, but in actual money value. The increased demand will have a tendency to make the prices rise.

Price ceilings are the answer. Oranges, bananas, potatoes and onions have had price ceilings for some time. Fresh tomatoes, wax beans, green beans, carrots, cabbage and peas have joined the list with emergency ceilings. Watch the prices in your market. Remember, until further notice, the prices of these five vegetables should not rise above those charged in each market during the period Feb.

18 to 22. Wednesday spinach and lettuce were added to the list of fresh foods with ceilings. 'Working' Housewives THESE MENUS will provide four family with health. Health is vital. In fact, during wartime there is nothing that can be considered of greater importance.

"Working" housewives will now find cooking and serving meals more difficult. We recognize this fact and will try to make menus as practical as possible for the people whose time is at a premium. Weekly planning will help immeasurably. Oftentimes foods for one day's dinner may be partially prepared on the evening before. Above all, women must realize that point rationing provides no excuse for lowering the standards of our meals.

Meals may be different, but if we try we can keep them attractive and healthful. It's our wartime job!

Following the usual Tower Kitchen plan, a week-end marketing list is included. On it you will find no foods which cannot be purchased today or tomorrow. There's a check list for additional supplies you probably have on your shelves.

Since it is customary for most Detroiters to do the greater part of their shopping on the weekend, the usual custom of calling a week from Saturday to Saturday will be followed. Housing shortages mean people are doubling up, women are shopping for larger families. For this reason, and because there are many families normally of good size, the menus are based on a family of six. For six people 2S8 points in blue coupons are allowed for processed foods during the month of March 64 points' for each of the four weeks and 32 for the remaining half week. ji YOrJGlLS ROLLS FOR PKG.

Dr.

Crane, are all men like my husband?" DIAGNOSIS: There are certain psychological differences which seem fairly characteristic of men versus women. Which sex, for instance, stows away its food at the dinner table as if it were a task to be accomplished as soon as possible, and which sex is more inclined to mince or dawdle along, enjoying the scalloped edges of the grapefruit or the colorful salad Men are more likely to be the "gulpers" of pleasure while women are more often the "mincers." And this same distinction is often evident in their love behavior. Women like to be wooed for hours. They enjoy dilly-dallying tactics, which may begin with flowers and a dinner date, followed by a theater and a moonlight drive afterwards. Males Are Matter-of-Fact THERE IS a psychological basis for this slower emotional development of the female.

But you will also observe the same type of mincing or dawdling behavior in the older men who have lost some of their youthful vigor and verve. If you were to visualize a male connoisseur of food and drink, how old a man would you conjure up? If vou were to imagine a man who admiringly views his glass of wine, inhales its fragrances, and appreciatively sips the sparkling beverages. what age do you have tagged upon this man? I presume most of you will be thinking in terms of middle-aged men. The life tempo of young men is geared to a high- er speed. They seldom care to poke along at 20 miles an hour or fritter valuable hours making love.

Young1 men move in fox trot tempo, whereas their fathers or grandfathers are attuned to waltz time. In her affections, however, even a young woman is geared to waltz time, so this is why women frequently complain about the unromantical behavior of their husbands. How Women View Romance A girl's idea of romance involves what a man disdains as "frilly" things, such as little gallantries like holding her coat for her, opening the door ahead of her, assisting her into the automobile and then going around to climb into the driver's seat. Young men put up with these things during courtship, and even fool their sweethearts by their apparent ardor, but after she has signed on the dotted line, so to speak, they figure, "Why continue the sales talk when the deal has been closed." But women like this "sales talk," and a wise husband will keep his conversational "line" in constant use and pour on the "verbal" bouquets even if he no longer patronizes the corner florist. Taciturn and miserly husbands are enough to drive any woman frantic.

When your Borden Ice Cream dealer says: "Sorry no ice cream today," or "How about some delicious ices instead?" do you sulk? Do you scowl at him and slam the door on your way out? Tsk! Tsk! You shouldn't, you know. He can't help it, poor man. And neither can we. We both wish we could do something about it, because we know you love ice cream, and we know it's good for you, too.

But we have our orders, orders from Uncle Sam, and, war or peace, when he talks we listen! Right now Uncle Sam's WPB says: "Make less ice cream so that the milk and cream can be used for other purposes." And, as far as we are Concerned, WPB stands for We Play Ball.
