Life is just a big game t Often a hard one, but pleasant if played in the right spirit. Oh, yes! there are rules to this game of life hard rules, fast rules, rules which cannot be broken without punishments, demerits and losses. But they are plainly written in the Book of Experience, accessible to every person, young and old. It belongs to a world-old library, "The Law of Life." And these rules are quoted by authors, proved by philoso phers, made plain to each of us every day we live. "' Are you learning the fine points in this big game? Are your feet placed firmly on the ground, with a deter mination that cannot be shaken, to win a fair fight? In foot ball, base ball, checkers and every other man-made game the umpire or judge, or whoever he is, calls "foul" on the cheaters the cheater loses the pojnt a nd. suffers humiliation,. In this Game of Life, in which everybody is a player, the fouls are called without prejudice or pettiness by the Power that reigns supreme over all. A cheater can, occasionally, get. by the umpire, but no foul escapes the Supreme Umpire in the Game of Life. Begin today to learn the rules of the game. Abide by those rules, and, no matter how hard the battle, play it fair. Final records and scores are made in the big library -The Law of Life according to the way we play and not how soon we get under the wires. Plea for More Women to "Fall In" is Poster Omaha League Will Soon Display The "service" poster painted by Miss Lucile Patterson on a signboard high over "the busiest corner in the world," Forty-second street and Fifth avenue, New York, has been repro duced by lithography and copies are to be distributed throughout the coun try by the National League for Wom an's Service. The aim is to continue enlisting women in the service of their country, and the picture is said to be one of the most striking and artistic contributions to the poster campaign that has been waged since America entered the war. Following the announcement that the league, which is now organized in thirty-nine states, was enrolling wom en for work in factories, canneries and other forms of national service, Miss Patterson offered to paint a poster to be used for recruiting the volunteers. Miss Patterson ordinarily draws pret ty girls and charming children for magazine covers, and war work was a new departure for her. The result, however, was a stirring portrayal of women "joining the col ors," and a plea for more women to "fall in!" The principal figure is a modern Joan of Arc, mounted, bear ing the national emblem, and leading a host of feminine patriots eager to serve and sacrifice in any post their country calls them to. Then, undaunted by the dizzy height and insecurity of a painter's scaffold, Miss Patterson, in working blouse and riding breeches, superin tended the painting of the poster on a signboard twenty feet square, high above the spot where, it is said, more people pass in a day than at any other point in the world. The use of the board was donated to the league by Stuart D. Warner of New York. The- lithograph of the poster is eighteen by twenty-five inches. A supply of copies is being sent to each of the league's 600 branches through out the country. It is expected that local citizens will co-operate in dis playing them prominently. Men Should Be Fair and Do Their Share in the Food Conservation Movement To feed our allies in the war as we should, and yet have plenty ourselves, we must depend, in a large measure, upon the women . who conduct our homes. They are the spenders and the providers. But the men have a nirf si and this is in dancer of being overlooked. A wife generally sets her table to piease ner nusoana and family; she has them in mind far mnr than h has herself. Hence, if she conserves certain foods either by their absence or ty dtminisnea quantity, and the men in her family nntlr lipr pffnrt and fail of co-ooera- tion, she is discouraged. The man may not enjoy his meat at oreaiciast being taken away from him. Not that ti vr nreAe.A it. but he thinks he did, and the habit is formed for him. There is where his "bit" comes in; not to grumble, but to second nis wites int11!crnt effort He mav not eniov a meatless day,, or a wheatless meal, or corn bread Where the palate nas been accustomed" to - white wheat hmA l Rut thps ar already times and they are apt to become more so before we get through with' this war when it is not asked of us what we like so much as what ts best to do and should be done and where we render; a service by doing itl Nor is the man doing his "bit" if, deprived of his white wheat bread at home, he proceeds to stuff himself with fit at his club or restaurant lunch eon., tt isn't where he eats the wheat; a wheatless day for him applies to the liinrhenn in the restaurant lust as well as to his table at home. Nor is lie helping to1 solve the problem toward which his wife is striving with her share if she denies him lamb chops at home and he orders them at his lunch. Dying Mother Asks Aid In Finding Her Son A dying mother sends an appeal to the Omaha police to search for her son, Peter Tclech, who has been mis sing from his home in Bopez, Pa., since 1916. The son, whose age is given as 18. years, is thought to have joined a musical show which was headed for Omaha. The mother says he wrote to a friend from Chicago that he was coming to this city. The boy is described as having clean cut features and extremely blond hair. To Distribute Food Pledge Cards Today Harry O. Palmer, secretary of the Douglas' county committee on food conservation, and County Superin tendent of Schools Keenan, a member of the committee, will mike a tour of the county Friday and distribute food pledge cardsi Every "school in the country precincts will be visited. Mr. Palmer hopes to have a food pledge card in every home in Douglas coun ty by Saturday, night First of Omaha Pledges to " Jewish War Victims Paid Morris Levy, treasurer of the Jew ish war sufferers relief committee, yesterday remitted $6,000 to t New York, representing the first collection on the $60,000 in pledges recently ob tained in a campaign in Omaha Yet men are doing these very things, and laughing as they do tnem. cut this is not playing the game. A man is not fair to his wife when he does it;' he is. unfair to the restaurant keep er whom he compels to serve what may be against his principles to buy; he is absolutely false to one of the greatest needs of his country, and he is criminally regardless of the men who are fighting for his interests. It is time for men to realize that they have a distinct part in this food con servation movement. It isn't fair to put it all on the women. Ladies' Home Journal. American Woman Artist Famous Surgeon' 8 Aid The adaptability of the American woman has often been commented upon. It would seem to have reached its limit in the case of Miss Grace Gassette, a Chicago artist resident in Paris, Who has become, since the war opened, one of the world's authorities in the invention and use of surgical appliances for the relief of the wounded. . ? , Miss Gassette, who had scarcely ,secn the inside of a hospital three Vears ago, is' now called frequently into consultation by the foremost sur geons in Paris,' and her remarkable , work in restoring to wounded sol diers the use of their limbs is known and admired by surgical experts in all I parts of the world, says the Literary Digest, The French government has made her a chevalier of the Legion of Honor an unusual honor for a : woman. ,,'". Evidently the knowledge of anato tny, which all artists must possess to some extent, has in this instance borne unexpected fruit, but this Knowledge has been supplemented by an unusual amount of Yankee in genuity, sympathy and pure "grit." - : CANDIED CITRON Make a soda solution in the proportion of a quarter of a teaspoonful of baking soda to one quart of water. Drop the pieces of peeled citron into this when it is boiling and cook until tender. Remove, drain and soak for five hours in alum water, made by ad ding a bit of alum the size of a fil bert to one quart of water. Drain and stand in water containing one tablespoonful of citric acid to each quart. In the morning drain and weigh, and keep two cups of the acid water for each two pounds of fruit. Boil this water with sugar equal in weight to the fruit, adding the grated rind of two lemons. Cook the citron in this syrup until clean and candied; roll in powdered sugar and dry slowly. Save Your Own Vegetable Seed. The onion bulbs selected for seed ing should be pulled a little earlier than those intended for use or stor age, according to today's bulletin from the National Emergency rood Garden commission, campaigning to encourage food conservation through out the country. The bulbs should be cured without removing the tops by a full exposure to air, but protected from direct sun shine, rain and dew. In the early fall they may be set for seeding, but it is essential to success that the soil be constantly, roois.tj but never wet Even a single oaking from a heavy rain oftert results. . in their decay. It is also important to pro tect them from repealed freezing. In sheltered locations this can often be best accomplished by a covering of earth, but this should lie removed so as to prevent the growing tops- from being too much branched. The seed lorn black loflg befcfrfc ft is ripe, and the seed heads should not be cut until there is danger of serious, loss from shattering and then should be further cured by full ex posure to the air until the bulk of the seed drops out. Cabbage Plants to be used for I seed production should be started I late, so that they will only begin to head at the time ot the first hard frosts or actual freezing. The plants s.iould be pulled and stored, either in a cellar, so that they will be con stantly moist, or by buying them in the open, so that, the heads will have some air, but not be exposed to re peated freezing. I As soon as danger of severe and long-continued frost is past the plants for seeding should be set so deep that the head will be partly covered. As they start into growth the head leaves should be carefully pulled (apart to allow the seed stalk to de velop freely. When the pods are ripe the stalks should be cut and cured in a dry place. Later the seed 'may be beaten out with sticks. The Chicago police force now num bers twenty-nine women among its members. .
