Now, with every one of us on the alert to stretch the sugar budget, perhaps you may think the suggestion of cookies an extravagant one. It isn't, though. In the first place, I can't think of anything that gives you more value for your sugar money than cookies. In the second place — andthis is the important one from our rationing standpoint— the cookie collection that follows makes practically no inroad on our sugar supply, for these cookies utilize other sweetening ingredients and even Continued on page. 51 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
