If you dread those semi-annual visits
to the dentist, cheer up. Someday you
may have the cavities ground with a
stream of abrasive particles rather than
the old whirling drills. It's claimed this
new method is practically painless with
no vibration, noise or heat.

Lest we forget. Throwing the cook-
ing water from vegetables down the.
drain is actually throwing money away,
too. There are precious vitamins in that
liquid which can be used.later to flavor
soups and gravies. Much smarter to
take our vitamins that way than to buy
them at the drug store.

White sauce has a lot more "charac
ter", you'll find, if you blend a third-
cup of real mayonnaise with it just be
fore serving. Try it in creamed pota
toes, creamed soups, creamed tuna or
eggs. And what it docs for sauce over
cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus is
too good for words!

Close friends will be glad to hear it.
To onion lovers, though, it is sad news.
This year's onion crop is the lowest in
seven years. Now don't start hoarding!
Every person still has fifty pounds to
cry over.

When your teen-age daughter com
plains that last year's sweaters don't go
with her new corduroy skirt, here's
your answer. Whether wool or nylon,
all-purpose dye will change them to a
harmonizing color. If she wants a pastel
shade, use the new color remover and
then tint it any hue her heart desires.

Did you know that dried fruit won't

Hunters Warned to
Be Sure of Target
When Hunting Deer
Texas deer hunters should have
one of their "best seasons. The
supply of bucks is good and they
are in excellent condition, says
K. E. Callender, extension spec-
ialist in wildlife conservation of j
Texas A. & M. college, bue he j
also offers this word of caution j
to the thousands of hunters who i
are in the field ready to bang
away at a moment's notice. Be
sure of your target, know your
hunting lease, handle your gun
with care and don't point it un-
less you aim to shoot.
Take care of the meat after
you have made the kill. Don't
waste a.n ounce of it, says Callen-
der, because venison is a palatable
substitute for domestic meats and
this year it's extra good.
Deer meat can be cured success-
fully, but the thicker, plumper
muscles, or rounds, cure best.
Loins may also be included but
boneless pieces are preferable. The
most satisfactory method is to
have the carcass cut into the de-
sired pieces and placed in the
freezer locker. Otherwise, says
Callender, a good cure mixture is
one and one-half pounds of salt, a
quarter pound of sugar and one
ounce of saltpeter dissolved in one
gallon of water. The meat should
be weighted down in the contain-
• er so that it will be completely
covered by the brine. Best re-
sults are obtained if the meat in
brine is kept in cold storage at 36
to 38 degrees during the curing.
If cold storage is not available,
curing should be done only in
cold weather.
The meat should be left in the
brine two days for each pound
and after that can be eaten or
smoked. It can be kept under
most conditions but tends to mold
if the climate is moist and hot.
For sanitary reasons, it is best to
cover the venison with a tightly
tied paper bag.
The shoulder, neck and lower
portion of the ribs when boned
make good sausage, says Callen-
der. Two parts of venison o.tid
one part pork fat is a good mix-
ture, but for a drier product use
three parts venison to one of pork
fat. Season with 14 ounces of
salt and three ounces of black
pepper to 50 pounds of meat be-
fore grinding. Callender says you
may want to use only salt on the
ground meat and later add the
other seasoning, thus permitting
the choice between sausage, ham-
burger meat or meat loaf.
Callender offers this word of
caution on transporting the meat.
He says it may keep better if first
frozen solid and this is especially
true if you have a considerable
distance to travel. But remem-
ber that frozen meat should be
rut and used as soon as possible
after thawing.

Hammen as official winner with a sunflower that reached skyward to
the height of 17 feet, had a base diameter of three inches and flowers
of 12-inch diameter. In the same garden were dwarfs of 12 and 13 feet.
The champion had this to say about the project, "This was a new
experience for the family. Next year, my wife and four sons will join
me in producing some really big ones. Utility poles, sky hooks and
pulleys will enable us to make Jack and his beanstalk a real fairy tale "

Income Expected To
Drop Faster Than
Is Cost of Living
Over-all family living expendi-
tures are not expected to drop as
fast or as much as the over-all
farm income. That is what the
experts see in the crystal bull for
1950. Food supplies in general
are a little larger than a year
ago and food consumption per cap-
ita is expected to remain near the
1949 level or may go even higher,
according to Mrs. Florence Low,
extension home management spec-
ialist of Texas A. & M. college.
Consumer purchases of food
should be encouraged by the plen-
tiful and varied supply and by the
lower retail prices that now ap-
pear likely for the year. The
prices received by the farmer
for the food products are expected
to decline more than the prices
the consumer will have to pay.
Mrs. Low reports that prices
paid by farmers for clothing de-
clined 7 per cent from the post-
war high of September 1948 to
June, 1949. Further drops in
clothing pri'.es seem to hinge on |
what may happen to the general
economic situation, she says. The
r« tail supplies of clothing should
be generally good during 1950,
however, should the downward
trend in prices continue, retailers,
wholesalers and manufacturers
may continue their cautious buy-
ing and this in turn may cause
temporary shortages to develop
from time to time.
The demand for clothing re-
mained at a high level during most
of 1949 and indications are good
for this to continue, especially, if
incomes continue to be high. De-
clines will probably be noticed
first in the so called "style" ar-
ticles of clothing, says Mrs. Low.
Supplies of household equip-
ment and furnishings should be
adequate. There is a slow but
certain movement from a seller's
to a buyer's market for many of
the durable goods and families are
now able to purchase many items
at prices somewhat lower than for
last year. Standard models are
being bought in many lines of
household equipment in prefer-
ence to the deluxe models because
primarily of the difference in
prices, says Mrs. Low. The con-
sumer demand she thinks will de-
termine the available supply of
most household equipment.

Christmas Shopping
Takes The Lead As
Holiday Season IS ears
Bringing memories of past years
(and big plans for the approaching
holidays, the Christmas season was
officially opened November 28th.
Santa Claus complete with whisk-
ers and red' suit flew in for a brief
visit with Denison children, and
the min'chants of the town unveil-
od a winter wonder-land of win-
dows.
Walking down Main street,
choppers can't help admiring the
glistening gleaming windows.
Highly imaginative displays en-
hance the gift items, bringing the
thought of Christmas close to all.
Local merchants have carefully
planned ahead for this season, and
have provided a wide selection of
gift ideas. Helpful clerks are
more than willing to aid shoppers
with their selections and can often
suggest a gift idea far better than
r.ny planned by the shoppers.
As always, Christmas means
trying to decide what would
please certain people, and the
Denison merchants have proved
more than eager to help befuddled
shoppers. Several have suggest-
ed that Christmas is the time that
s. wife, mother, daughter, sister or
special girl really enjoys a watch.
This gift can well vary from a
beautiful diamond-studded one to
a smart simply-tailored one. But
as always, the men of the family
like watches, too.
Books haye always been quite a
Christmas item. Children love
and appreciate books that they
can read over and over, or have
read to them. Adults enjoy the
classics or even the very latest
novels and best-sellers. As time
passes, shoppers find t,hat more
and more electrical appliances can
be had and a General Electric
Mixer makes this a particularly
nice Christmas. This becomes a
gift for the entire family, and
makes shopping for those "hard
to please", easy.
Women all love dainty things,
and the various fashions of today
emphasis the skirt and blouse com-
bination. One local merchant
stresses this in his advice to shop-
pers for the ladies on gift lists.
And Ronson lighters with the per-
sonal touch of monograms have
been suggested by a local jewel-
er- « ^
A local merchant even suggests
that shoppers bring their lists and
do their shopping for the entire
family under one roof.
Yes, Christmas is drawing near-
er, and all the merchants emphat-
ically point out that only by shop-
ping early can shoppers avoid the
Christmas rush. Their stocks are
open now, and a wide choice is
available to all NOW!
Plenty of Honey Is
Reported for Year
With High Average
The honey bees in Texas were
busy during 1949 and they have
chalked up what may be their
greatest total production and per
colony yield—approximately 13.9
million pounds for an average of
45 pounds of honey for every col-

ony in the state. Both figures are
more than twice last year's yields.
The little busy bodies the nation
over did a fine job. Result—plen-
ty of honey for everyone.
The foods and nutrition spec-
ialists of Texas A. & M. college
recommend honey for a lot of dif-
ferent uses in everyday eating.
They say it adds variety to your
meals; will add flavor from the
flower world to your foods and
that it is a very nutritious food
itself.
Honey can be used to sweeten
fruit drinks, tea or coffee. It can
be used with fruit salads, for
example: Peel and slice oranges
and dip the slices in honey, then
in shredded coconut. Place the
slices on lettuce and top with ber-
ries or other fruit. When baking
apples, add honey and butter, or
margarine, to each cored apple
and baste with honey during the
baking process.
You might try this one—quick
glazed sweet potatoes with honey:
Pare and halve raw sweet pota-
toes, drop in salted boiling wa-
ter to cover. For each sweet po-
tato add one to two tablespoons
! honey and one teaspoon butter or
margarine. Cover tightly and
boil until tender and a syrup is
formed. They say it is a good
idea to baste the sweet potatoes
occasionally with the syrup while
cooking. You can do the same
with carrots, just substitute two
1 carrots for each sweet potato.
Broiled ham glazed with honey
makes mighty tasty eating and
you might for a change, try mix-
ing honey with other foods used
for sandwich fillings, cookies,
or serve it as a sauce for ice
cream. Then there are the old
favorites—waffles, hot cakes or
hot biscuits, butter and honey.
