for the best letters on this subject:
“How the Mev/ Low Electric Rates Benefit My Home”
With a First Prize of SIOO.OO and 67 other
prizes ranging down to $2.00, the Georgia Power
Company announces a contest for the best letters
on the subject: “How the New Low Electric Rates
Benefit My Home.”
If your home (or apartment, of course) is sup
plied with residential electric service by this Com
pany, you are eligible to compete, you or any mem
ber of your family. The rules of the contest are
simple. This is NOT an essay contest —NOT a
literary game. WE WANT FACTS!
If the new low electric rates have permitted you
to have a cool kitchen this sweltering summer, if
they have given you added protection against food
spoilage and sickness, if they have brought into your
home MORE LIGHT and MORE LEISURE, if
they have made it possible for you to have electric
service for the first time, when you could never af
ford it before, if you have increased your use of the
service at no increase in cost —tell the facts, in
simple language.
Your letter will not be judged on its literary
qualities or on its appearance. FACTS will count
for more than anything else in awarding the prizes.
Here are the prizes:
First Grand Prize .SIOO.OO
Second Grand Prize $ 50.00
Third Grand Prize $ 25.00
Fifteen Additional Grand
Prizes of $5.00 Each $ 75.00
And, IN ADDITION, $2.00 will be paid to the
writer of each letter selected for publication (in full
or in part). At least 50 such letters will be selected
for $2.00 awards—PROBABLY MORE. And let
ters winning these $2.00 awards will also be eligible
for consideration for the Grand Prizes!

Publication of letters (or excerpts from them)
will begin in the near future and payment of the
$2.00 awards will he made as the letters are pub
lished. Get yours in now!

YOU can rely on tomatoes |
every time to add a touch of
color and a tang of appetizing
taste to almost any dish except
desserts. Tomatoes have a dis
tinct individuality and prefer to
appear in the other courses of a
meat With meats they add that
touch which makes them a differ
ent and more palatable dish. Take,
for instance, this
Louisiana Pot Roast: Stick six
cloves into a one and one-quarter
pound piece of chunk rump roast,
and sear thoroughly on all sides
in a deep heavy kettle or pot in
a little fat or drippings. Add one j
small sliced onion and one-half ;
a shredded green pepper, any cook ;
a moment. Then add the contents |
of one 10%-ounce can of tomatoes I

! and water enough to about half
cover the meat. Add salt and pep
per, and bring to boiling. Cover
and simmer gently until tender.
Remove meat, and thicken the
liquid in pan with a little flour
smoothed with water. Pour over
meat and serve. Serves four, and
costs less than fifty cents.
Savory in Soup
And this soup would never taste
the same without the addition of
the trusty tomatoes:
Clam and Tomato Chowder:
Combine one 10%-ounce can of
Manhattan Style clam chowder
: with the contents of a 10-ounce
I can of tomatoes, heat and serve
: with crackers. This serves four,
j and costs about a quarter.*

Busy Beans
CERTAIN foods are just chock
ful of energy—beans are one
of them. It is pretty hard to get
as much nourishment and down
right “vim” from an equal quan
tity of any other food. A man
can do a lot of work on beans, a
boy can hike a long way on them,
and a woman can withstand an
avalanche of household wear and
tear without jangled nerves if she
has lunched well on this whole
some article of diet. Beans are
economical, also, one of the most
economical of foods.
All Varieties Canned
You can buy them for so little,
and the canned product is so good,
that it is but rarely worth while
to spend time upon the prepara-

tion of the raw beans. There are
canned baked beans, pork and
beans, red kidney beans, refugee
beans, beans with tomato sauce
and wax beans. Usually they may
be just warmed, perhaps sea
soned, and served, but there are
many delicious recipes of which
beans are an important ingredi
ent, such as

ounce can corned beef, season and

Better Breakfasts
WOMEN like afternoon tea—
men like a good breakfast.
So when you plan your
breakfast menus, keep in mind
that important person—the man.
Men have peculiar tastes. At a
recent stag dinner a red Edam
cheese took the place of the usual
roses. There was rare beefsteak,
baked potatoes and onions. The
centerpiece was devoured with a
dozen kinds of toasted crackers.
And black coffee and smokes of
course.
For breakfast, may we suggest
to please the men:

T4ESE are days in which men
must be men—and they need
man-sized rations. There is no
use asking anybody to meet the
difficulties that lie in wait for
every bread-winner the moment
his house door closes upon him
today without lots of strength to
do it on—he just has to have vigor
and vitality.
Well, beans will give them to
him, so see that he gets plenty
of beans. Give them to him in
the following recipes and he will
ask for more.

Measuring Precipitation
“Precipitation” is the general term
the weather bureau uses in preference
to rainfall, for the sake of the com
parison of the amounts of water de
posited on the earth by rain, hail, mist,
sleet and snow. For this purpose, sleet
and snow are measured when melted.
Deposits of dew, fog and frost are not
regarded by the weather bureau as
precipitation.
