Steel Box Strapping 



Used in connection with 

 metal seals consists of 

 encircling a package 

 with a metal strap, draw- 

 ing the strap very tight 

 and interlocking the 

 overlapping strap -ends 

 within a metal sleeve 

 (SIGNODE) in such a 

 manner that the joint has 

 a greater tensile strength 

 than the strap itself. 

 Nails, rivets and buck- 

 les, with their attendant 

 objections, are entirely 

 eliminated.

relative values of the different foods 

 she cannot make her substitution intel- 

 ligently, A knowledge of the part that 

 each of the different classes of foods 

 performs in the body upkeep is essen- 

 tial. Without this knowledge serious 

 mistakes may be made. Miss Bab Bell 

 of the Missouri College of Agriculture 

 makes a few suggestions relative to de- 

 creasing the cost of living. (1) Make a 

 thorough study of the different classes 

 of foods and the function of each in the 

 body. (2) Plan meals carefully, so that 

 foods are not duplicated. For instance, 

 do not serve Irish and sweet potatoes in 

 the same meal; cheese and meat; rice 

 and patotoes; spinach and lettuce; navy 

 beans and meat. (3) Substitute, in part, 

 corn starch for eggs; rice for potatoes; 

 meat substitutes for meat; some good 

 oil for olive oil; some product for but- 

 ter, especially in cooking; cornmeal for 

 wheat flour. Milk is one of the best 

 foods and consequently can be substi- 

 tuted for higher priced foods. Skim 

 milk has a high protein value. 



The cost of living may be reduced by 

 (1) Purchasing food supplies in large 

 quantities when a good storeroom is 

 available, and by purchasing foods in 

 season. (2) Preparing the exact amount 

 of food needed. Some foods cannot be 

 warmed or made over. (3) Planning 

 meals to utilize all "left overs" and thus 

 reducing the waste which ordinarily 

 goes to the garbage can. (4) Training 

 children, and adults as well, not to 

 waste foods at the table by leaving 

 quantities on their plates. (5) Doing 

 your own marketing, if possible. (6) 

 Growing vegetables on every foot of 

 ground available and by canning fruits 

 and vegetables; storing eggs, butter and 

 other products to be used during winter.
