HOUSKEEPERS TO HAVE BIG CONFERENCE The Housekeepers Conference to be held at the High School for three days-beginning Feb. 25th-offers many things of interest to the women of Eatonville. Miss Sutherland, who will conduct these meetings, is the well known specialist to Home Economics sent out by the national Department of Agriculture and the State College. She has for several years gone about the state conferring with the women over their home problems. Her suggestions will be based upon information gained from housekeepers as well as facts and figures of her own. Many demonstrations of suggested methods and recipes will be given. The High Cost of Living questions will be emphasized especially. Foods will be compared, as to cost and value, suggestions made for the use of staple food materials and at the same time obtain variety and appetizing combinations. Variety and the right combinations will be suggested with all types of food; breakfast cereals, soups, breads, and even suggested substitutes for meat and potatoes. These will give the same amount of nourishment at a lower cost and at the same time give variety. Many of these foods will be cooked for the women, in the most approved way. Those who are interested in short cuts and time savers in their house work should be present to see a fireless cooker and an iceless refrigerator made, or if you have both of these a dress figure or a tea wagon plan may be had for the asking. Miss Sutherland will give one day to the High Cost of Fashions and Clothes and some means of reducing these. She will give some practical household tests for materials, such as women may use at home in determining whether a material is all wool, or silk, half- wool or silk, or only pure cotton. With these guides for choice of material she will further demonstrate the attraction of patterns and the cutting and fitting of a dress upon a figure. If there are any special problems which the women want considered, Miss Sutherland will be glad to include them in her discussion and in turn she will appreciate any ideas and contributions to the general discussions. Interest and co-operation of the women of the community will go far in making this, Eatonville's first Housekeepers Conference, a great success. All women are urged to bring a neighbor and come to the conference, for any or all of the three days of the meeting. BENSTON NEWS Mrs. Fred Lipke took the bus to Tacoma Friday morning.
