Team Work
The following timely quotation
from Kipling ha's been taken tor tne
basis ot a small
illustrating, the
I'lookwaltcr-Ball
Indianapolis;
It ain't the g-ins nor armament
Nor funds that they can pay.
Hi:1- the close co-operation
That makes them win the day
It sin't the individuals,
Nor the army us a whole.
But the everbstm' team work
Of cverv bloomin' soul.

WhenMiladtj Goes Shopping
If you must cut down your list of Christmas pres
ents, why not send pretty cards? : : : : :
ADELAIDE KENNBRLY.
FOR those who are pruning their
list, a Christmas card sugges
tion may be of interest.
In anticipation of this sea
son's radical change, book stores, de
partment stores and jewelers have
brought to Omaha an assortment of
Christmas cards suitable for every oc
casion. These cards range in price
from a harmless little jitney way on
up to any price you want to pay.
There are folders tied with ribbons
containing: suitable inscriptions for
formal acquaintances. The more in
timate lined are for personal friends
and relatives. They are ready. All
you need do is to address them and
place your card between covers.
For 75 Cents.
From 75 cents a dozen up there is
being offered a plain correspondence
card with a gold initial in one corner.
Some of these initials are decorated
with blue birds, scrolls and various
other trimmings.
There are samples and samples of
type and greetings from which to se
lect the ones you like best. When
you have done this, leave the store
with a smile and return the next day
with the same smile. The young lady
will recognize you and hand out your
cards, all printed and ready, for a
specified price.
Isn't that nice?
Engraved?
Oh, CerVainlyl
Oh, yes, the engravers are busy
making beautiful, expensive Christ
mas cards. The local artists are
swamped with orders for hand paint
ed cards with personal inscriptions
to each friend.
More cards andtewer valuable gifts
that is the sign of the times.
No, indeed! presents are not elim
inated altogether. That is, judging
from the oodles of shoppeis and
crowds of humanity thronging every
shop in Omaha.
And, although thousands of cards
are being used this year, don't forget
to shop early if you want to get the
cream.
Welsh Rarebit
(For three)
1 pound yellow cream cheese
2 tablespoonfuls Worcestershire
sauce
1 level teaspoonful paprika
1 heaping teaspoonful dry mustard
Pinch of red pepper
Lump of oleomargarine
H glass milk.
Put the cheese, whole, into a double
boiler to melt and make a paste of
the mustard, paprika, red pepper and
Worcestershire sauce. When that is
thoroughly mixed, add it to th mill
and stir up well. When the cheese
is thoroughly melted, stir in the oleo
margarine and then add the milk mix
ture slowly, stirring vigorously so
that it will permeate every particle1 of
the cheese. When the whole begins
to look flaky, remove from the fire at
once. Serve on toast and garnish
with paprika.

Germany's prof est contempt for America's war preparations is somewhat
belied by evidences of her desperate determination to win before our soldiers
arrive in force. Thus dispatches tell of westward-moving German troop-trains
congesting the roads to Flanders, of Austrian forces shifted to the French
front, and of a growing intensity of Teutonic artillery-fire along the whole
Western line. Advices that leak out from Germany all indicate that the
Kaiser's only hope of victory lies in delivering a "knock-out" blow, before '
American forces can get into the field.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for December 22d, one of the leading arti
cles deals with the possibilities in the German drive on the Western front, and
how it may affect the Allies' chances of victory. Other features are:
Turning the Light On Our War Activities
Editorial Opinion Upon the Charges Before Congress of a Lack of Efficiency
