'THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22. 191. 9 moocleta Slated , .ys August 21 fc Women Attend Horse Rces. , King Horse comes into his own to day and will hold the boards at the Benson track for the rest of the week. A number of box parties and many in the grandstand have been arranged, but, the society recorder must mournfully relate, the Benson track will not yet this year take on the appearance of a Kentucky derby, for instance, with its large attendance hy the feminine contingent. While society women will accom pany their husbands, who are "more interested in horses, to the races, only those women who own their own horses or are particularly interested in sports are among those to make up parties for the races. Eastern women, too, evince a greater interest in the races. Mrs. Raymond Caldwell of Mansfield, O., who is here with her husband on a business trip, entertained a party of women at luncheon at the Fontenelle, preceding the opening races. Mrs. C. W. Nelson and Mrs. H. W. House holder, wife of Dr. Householder of Marshalltown, la., are two more out-of-town women interested in the big event who have come down to Omaha especially for it. Their husbands have horses entered in several events. The two visitors, Mrs. Charles Reese, Mrs. L. A. Dermody, Mrs. O. M. Smith and Miss Edna Peterson were included in Mrs. Caldwell's 1-incheon party. At the races after ward Miss Peterson had the Misses Louise and Irene Cotter, as well as her Marshalltown guests, in her box, while Mrs. Smith had others of the party in her box. Both Mrs. Smith and Miss Peter son will entertain parties of women in their box every day of the races. Mrs. Charles E. Reese also is to make up a party for the races later in the week. From Women in War Zone. Chicago friends of Mrs. Amelia Cassette and her daughter, Miss Grace Gassette, the noted artist, have received letters which give vivid pic tures of French enthusiasm at the ar rival of American troops in France, of the way Paris celebrated our Fourth of Julyyy and of the emotions ot Americans long resident in Paris. Miss Cassette's work in designing and applying mechanical devices to aid cripples has earned her the Legion of Honor. She writes: "Of course, I am happy to have the Legion of Honor. This permits me to wear the 'military bar. The officers and men always salute me." Her work takes her into the war zone, where she is under fire. She says: i "I do not mind being killed, but I would hate to be wounded. I have seen so much suffering and disabiU ity. My work is called labor atory research work. Just thinx, $1 pays for a spring that will enable some man to walk with comparative ease when without it his every step will be agony." Miss Gassette is well known in Omaha, where she spent some time several yars ago, when she painted portraits of Mrs. John Baldwin, the small daughter of Dr. and .Mrs.). E.

Prof. Pugsley contrasted the dif ferent methods of drying food, the sun method, the artificial heat method and the air current method.

Cottage Cheese From Waste Milk Cottage cheese, a delicious and nourishing food, can be made from skim milk which might otherwise go to waste, say the dairy specialists of the United States department of Agriculture. After removing" the cream for coffee, the skim milk that is not needed for puddings, gravies, etc., can easily be made into cottage cheese. If th milk, is sweet it should be placed in a pan and allowed to remain in a clean, warm place at a temperature of about seventy-five de grees until it clabbers. The clabbered milk should have a clean, sour flavor. Ordinarily this will take about forty eight hours, but when it is desirable to hasten the process a small quantity of clean-flavored soured milk may be mixed with the sweet milk. As soon as the milk has thickened to the con sistency of thin jelly, it should be cut into pieces the size of a walnut, after which the curd should be stirred thor oughly with a spoon. Place the pan of broken curd in a kettle of hot water so as to raise the temperature to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Cook at that temperature for about twenty minutes, during which time stir vigorously with a spoon for one minute at five-minute intervals. At the conclusion of the heating, pour the curd and whey into a small chees-cloth bag (a clean salt bag will do nicely, and hang the bag on a fruit-strainer rack to drain. After five or ten minutes, work the curd toward the center with a spoon. Raising and lowering the ends of the bag helps to make the whey drain faster. To complete the draining, tie the ends of the bag together and hang it up. Since there is some danger that the curd will become too dry, drain ing should stop when the whey ceases to flow in a. steady stream. The curd is then emptied from the bag and worked with spoon or butter paddle until it becomes fine in grain, smooth, and of the consistency of mashed potatoes. Sour or sweet cream may be added also, to increase the smooth ness, palatability and flavor. Then it is salted according to taste, about one-quarter ounce to a pound of curd. Don't waste any skim milk: make it into cottage cheese. Government Thrift Series, 1917. A Matter h-rT7 hold A I I sliouh . ho-. 1 J irt ' II t at n Jh-A A fy?Tfa to the Reducing the Meat Bill With the price of meat and all other foods soaring skyward, housekeepers are endeavoring in all possible ways to reduce the amount expended for meat and still supply their families with sufficient nourishment. They are being compelled to purchase the less expensive cuts of meat, for none can be called actually cheap, or those from which the greatest amount of nutriment in proportion to the price may be obtained, and are seeking the most economical methods of prepara tion. There are a number of ways by which the expense for meat in the home may be reduced. In some households the serving of smaller portions of meat and using it less often is practicable. In many families meat is served two or three times a day, which is too much from the standpoint of health as well as cost. Once a day is sufficient. A small amount of meat may be combined with some other food, furnishing a heartier dish, the whole of which is flavored with the meat, as in meat pies, stews, etc. In combining meat with some preparation of rice, flour, potato, hominy or some other starchy food, we obtain a dish that comes nearer than meat alone to being a perfectly balanced ration. A great deal can be saved by using "bone, trimming, fat and scraps usual ly thrown away. Make the butcher give you the trimmings from the piece you buy. You pay for them, and hence they belong to you. The bone and trimmings may be used for soup or stews. The fat can be rendered and used for cooking purposes. Save all bones and left-over scraps from your cooked meats. Almost any meat bones and trimmings may be- used for soups. Drippings may be used in stead of butter in the crust of meat pie, etc. Practically all left-over meat can be prepared and served in some appetizing manner. Just as much nourishment is ob tained from the less expensive cuts of meat the shank, brisket, shoulder, chuck, flank and plate of beef as from the more expensive steaks and roasts. Properly prepared, these cuts are most appetizing. However, no matter 'what the cost of the meat whether it is the cheapest variety or the choicest steak it cannot be used to its best advantage unless it is properly cooked; poorly prepared meat is a waste. The chief difficulties met with in cooking the cheaper meats are their toughness and lack of flavor. Pound ing, scoring and chopping breaks the tough muscle fibers and long cooking just below the boiling point (after the first ten minutes) will make even the toughest of meats tender. Boil ing water or intense heat, as in roast ing or pan-broiling, hardens the al bumen near the outer surface of the meat, thus keeping in the juices and natural flavor of the meat. Hence the meat should be cooked rapidly for the first ten minutes, after which the heat should be reduced and the meat al lowed to just simmer until tender. Fireless cookers and casseroles are ideal for tin's long cooking at low temperature. The flavor of the meat If you enjoy the exquisite flavor of Russian Caravan Tea you can now se cure the finest procurable. Be sure and ask for RIDGWAY'S "Russian Caravan" Tea. It is packed only in 1-lb., -lb. and -lb. airtight tins with a Black Label. Your grocer can get it for you. Try a 'i-lb. tin for 25 cents. It's most delicious and very economical.
