" , KnJfom FJ,-4J Tv-mta H Gross ffOUSENOlD ARTS VEPT CEUTJfAL HIGH SCHOOL Call of the New Year. ;ta the January Woman's Home Companion, Margaret Deland voices the sentiments of many a tired house wife the country over, in the words of a cook "Food, it's toired Oi am av the worrdl I wisht I could go away into the woods for two weeks, and not hear onct the sound av it. Food! Ivery newspaper is full av it, and iverybody jaws at ye about it; ye get it tro'n at ye even in church! Food!" Food conservation has been "tro'n at us" for several months now, and most of us find ourselves at a "be tween" stage in regard to it. The newness the glamor, the high fervor of any beginning, has worn oil; and Tuesdays and Wednesdays do come around so regularly! And scanting the sugar and fats is such an ever present problem! We have not yet felt the tragedies of the war suffi ciently to view this conserving of food in its true light as a necessary, yes, a vital means to an end the winning of the w ar. The Will to Conserve. Knowledge of what to do how to conserve is not lacking. Every smallest child can chant "Save the wheat save the meat save the sugar save the fats use local foods use fruits and vegetables freely." How many of us are doing it? I do not doubt for a moment that every family is doing something toward conser vation; but how many of is are doing all that we ought to do? Aren't you apt to call Wednesday a wheatless day if you serve war bread, yet have crackers witn tne soup ana pcniays pie for dessert? Don't you forget sometimes and put that extra lump of sugar in your coffee? Don't you let your ideas of hospitality overcome your patriotism at times and serve the frosted cakes, the rich ice creams and the fancy candies, where the simpler fruits, cider, nuts and pop corn might have taken their place? w. K.ttrr all nf in but tOO I IC IVI1VTT L " " r-many of us, far. far too many of us, are weak-kneed sisters. Philosophy of Conservation. Mrs. Deland, in the article men tioned above, builds up her philosophy of food conservation on the three bs Sacrifice Substitute Save. She afterwards apologizes for ap plying the term "sacrifice" to any thing that should be so trivial as giving up certain food luxuries, such as rich desserts, fancy cakes, etc. But to the "I-can-pay-for-it, why-shouldn't-I-have-it" tribe, giving up one luscious bon bon is a real sacrifice. The doctrine of substitution has , Fido Cannot Laugh Now! The Conservative Savings and Loan Association of Omaha FINANCIAL STATEMENT JANUARY 1, 1918.

The best plan by which to get ahead is to pay in a certain amount each pay day, to which semi-annual dividends of 6 are regularly added January 1st and July 1st. We invite accounts of this kind at any time. Where, oh, where, is Fido's tail? Poor doggy doesn't like to live without a tail to vag for a good dog laughs by wagging his tail. See if you can draw a nice one and make him look like a real dog again. I Now the Fur Waistcoat been told throughout the land. It is not the easiest doctrine to carry out; for it is on that ground that the bat tle of the old versus the new is waged. It takes real brains to garb the new in a guise near enough like the old to be accepted by the average family. The third injunction to save is the easiest or the most difficult according to the point of view. Speaking from the experience of a maidless house hold, to save is easy. With a little care everything can be "used up" or "used over." Mrs. Deland, speaking as a housekeeper with a cook reign ing in the kitchen, says that to save everything is the step requiring the most courage of the three. I can see that such might easily be the case, for no woman wishes to appear niggardly or prying to her cook. The call of the new year, then, to you, Mrs. Average Housewife, is not alone for more knowledge of your kitchen, but chiefly for the courage and the will to serve your country three times a day, day in and day out, through the selection and han dling of the food that passes under your direction.

Per haps your article will show her the wrong she Ib doing me by trying to break up my home. CONSTANT READER. As you tell your story. It sounds as If your husband were a weakling and the girl who Is threatening your happiness a con temptible creature. But perhaps you are simply a jtalous woman who Is letting her Imagination run away with her, and who is accusing her husband of ah offense he would never dream of permitting It be were nagged Into It. If you are right, the girl who Is stealing bim from you prob ably will not keep him long, for a man who deserts his wife at the end of eight Months must be lackln In loyalty and sta bility. The one class of women (or whom I feel real contempt is that foolish, cruel, stupid and almost wantonly wicked group who deliberately ensnare a man' who baa sworn to love and cherish another woman. Does Love Come After Marriage? Dear Miss Fairfax: I have a friend in the old country. We have loved each other since childhood, but luck was against us he being the eldest of his family has to support It, and I have to help support mine. I have a chance here of marrying a well-to-do man, but I feel that my love and heart are still with my life-long friend. Does love come after marriage, as my friend advised? I am tired of watting and: of earning my own living. PERPLEXED. The faot that you are tired of earning your own living doesn't offer a very good basis for marriage. Tou do not say even so much as that you like and respect the man who offers you a way out of an office posi tion. I am afraid that you will find keep ing house and working to hold up your share of a home rather tiring, too. The point Is, are you Jumping Into marriage because you are bored and disgusted, or because you feel a real respect and admiration for the man who Is ready to marry youT Tou don't need any further advice from me; sit down and go over the thing honestly and make up your mind to be brave enough to make a decision, and then fair enough to stand by it. Miss Fairfax, Omaha, Neb. Dear Madam: I am a girl of II and have the pleasure of meeting lots of friends. As a rulo after they fit i' By GERTRUDE BERESFORD. SO many fur-trimmed suits are like old Uncle Ned, "who had no wool on the top of his head, the place where the wool ought to grow." Fur is used here, there and every where but in a way to keep the wearer warm. This waistcoat and collar of sealskin fiflfill that destiny and give the unusual touch to the suit of dark rose homespun. Bound but tonholes on one side of the coat flirt with buttons on the other side and have a "raison d'etre," in breaking the long plain line of this well-tailored model. For spring wear a waistcoat of white duvetyne, charmeuse or pique, cut low like the masculine vests, may be substituted for this one of fur. depart they say "I'm very glad I met you." At present time I haven't yet heard the cor rect answer to give the party, so please give the correct answer In The Omaha Bee, Thanking you In advance, yours truly, ANXIOUS. There are a great many suitable replies, tou might say "I thank you," or tell them that you hope to know them better. TO FRIENDS OF LIBERTY A Toast to Democracy. A TOAST from the cup of Life From the ruby cup of the human heart, That cup holding Poison for our fellow-man, Or Elixir of Life for our fellow-men. Quaff from the cup of Lincoln's heart, The more we drink, the larger the flow. Its flavor Brotherhood immortal. Its parfum "Charity for all, malice toward none." Its vintage The Year One. ff For, On the Cross its ruby life began For souls that are athirst. George drey Barnard in the Chronicle, The foregoing comparative figures show satisfactory progress during the year 1917. The high cost of building material during the latter part of the year has checked to a marked degree the build ine of new homesand therefore, the demand for loans by home makers is not strong. Our members have subscribed liberally to the Liberty Loans and taken a part of their savings for this purpose; this the Association has encouraged in every way, by liberal withdrawal terms to our members for the purchase of Liberty Bonds. The Association bought liberally of the Liberty Loan and is reselling the bonds to its members on time without profit to itself. Our members are repaying their loans promptly, labor is well employed; this is shown by the small amount of delinquent interest in the statement, the small amount of Real Estate the Association holds and no loans in foreclosure. A Dividend of 5 per annum was declared for the period from July 1st, 1917, to January 1st, 1918, and the reserve fund strengthened. The management of the Association closes the year well satisfied with the progress shown and its sound financial condition. D. Kiplinger Batholomew Julien W. G. Ure Thoa. A. Fry....
