Well-Kept Saucepans

WELL-KEPT saucepans

ATO the

mark of a good housewife, The first lesson in the art of well- kept saucepans is the choosing. Fow realise that short, broad saucepans are inore economical than the tail, narrow kind. The reason for this in That the former trip more heat than the latter, and thus use less gas.

With all saucepans, re that the Ild fits well, though not so tightly that it in a struggle to take it off. Pay careful attention to the handles, which should be round and grooved, for round handles that are not grooved slip too eally when gripped.

Assure yourself that the sauce pan balances well; домо light alumlaluru saucepans tip over, the steel handle being heavier than the pan self. If the saucepan is very large, there should be a sinali hundfo opposite to the main one to assist in lifting when the pun is full.

FOOT BATHS AND CREAM MASSAGE

By JACQUELINE HUNT

YOU may have danced through the festive season, but do those toes of yours always feel like dancing how? Winter is the time for real foot ills unless the feet receive extra care. Shoes are heavier unless perfectly fitted tend to cause corns and callouses. Feet get less air and perspiration softens the tissues, leaving them more susceptible to blisters and infection..
