THE 8EMI.WEEKLY TRIDUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA.
Talk happiness, the world la sad
enough -
Without your woes.
No path la wholly rough.
Look for places that are smooth and
clear
And speak to these to rest the weary
ear
Of earth, so hurt by one. continuous
strain
Of human dlscontont and grief and
pain.
SALAD SUGGESTIONS.
The summer time Is the season for
u vnrlety of salntls, yet any season
ami time and any occa
sion to any class or con
dition of men, a salad Is
an appropriate dish.
A left-over may fie
used In n salad without
any question as to Its
eeond appoar
a n c c. All kinds of
cooked vegetables with an appropriate
falad dressing make most satisfying
calad.
OIIe Salad. Line a salad bowl
with a crisp head of lettuce, cut one
tolled beet and one boiled potato Into
lice, chop one small cucumber and two
liard-eooked eggs very fine; stone and
-chop 24 queen olives. Pound to a
paste two anchovies, or use a tea
poonful -of anchovy paste; dust all
with u teaspoonful of salt, a few
dashes of paprika and, a snltspoonful
of white pepper; sprinkle lightly with
four tablespoonfuls of orange juice,
-then pour over n French dressing and
serve nt once. To make the French
dressing, use four tablespoonfuls of
oil to one of strong vinegar, a little
onion juice, If liked, and salt and cay
enne popper to tuRto. The addition of
si pinch of mustard and a teaspoonful
of powered sugar Improves the flavor
for some palates.
Cauliflower Salad. Soak In cold salt
water a firm head of cauliflower for
t half hour, to retnovo any Insects;
put to boll whole and when tender set
Aside to cool. Put In a salad bowl
and garnish with four pimentos cut In
dice, with ten stuffed olives finely

shredded lettuce.
Tomato Salad. Scald, peel and
chill rtlx firm, ripe tomatoes, cut In
lialvea.- To one cupful of whipped
i'cnm ndd two tablespoonfuls each of
lemon Juice and prepared horseradish,
also seasoning of salt, paprika and
mustard. Place tomatoes on lettuce
leaves, heap the dressing on eacli
lightly, sprinkle with chopped pimento
and serve.
The secret of thrift Is knowledge;
knowledge of domestic economy saves
Income; knowledge of sanitary laws
naves health and life.
CORNMEAL DISHES.
The cornmeal made by the old mill
ing process. In which the germ was left
in, will not keep
as well as the fine
c o r n in eal. Tho
home grinding of
cornmeal saves the
germ and other
nutrients that are
destroyed or lost
by the new proc
ess. When possible to buy this prod
uct in small quantities, or, still better,
grind It at homo In a small mill, It will
be found very superior In flavor. More
liquid and more fat should be used In
tho tine cornmenl made by the new
milling process than with the coarser
ground meal.
For cornmeal mush, take one cupful
of cornmeal, a teaspoonful of salt and
add three and n half to five cupfuls
of boiling water or scalded, milk. Mix
tho meal with enough cold water to
pour, then ndd to the boiling, salted
wnter, stir constantly until smooth.
Cook for four hours In a double boiler
or In a tireless cooker over night. If
cooked over the direct heat less time
will bo needed for cooking; but It will
need to bo carefully watched.
Poured Into a smnll breadpan, well
greased, the mush will mold to be
sliced for breakfast and fried in a
little hot fat. Serve with sirup or bits
of bacon.
Cornmeal and Oat Cookies. Take
one cupful each of cornmeal, rolled
oats, molasses, buckwheat flour, a tea
spoonful of salt, a cupful of sour milk,
a half-cupful of fat, a half-teaspoonful
of sodn, n half-teaspoonful of nutmeg
and one-quarter-teaspoonful of ginger.
Heat the cornmeal, the molasses, suit
and milk with tho rolled oats, stirring
constantly until It becomes a thVk
pn8te. Remove It from the Are, add
fat, soda, flour and spices. Roll thin
and bake In a moderate oven.
Indian Pudding. Heat two and one
half cupfuls of milk, add six table
spoonfuls of cornmeal, mixed with one
cupful of cold water or milk. Add a
half-cupful of molasses, a half-teaspoonful
each of salt, ginger and cin
namon. Stir in a half-cupful of chop
led suet, which has been lightly sifted
with corn flour, a half-cupful of raisins
and bake, stirring often for the lrst
lialf-hour. Serve hot wish hard sauce.
Oh, what glory doth this world put on
For him who with a fervent heart goes
forth
Under the bright and glorious sky, and
looks
On duties well performed and days
well spent.
Longfellow.
SOME WHEAT SUBSTITUTES.
The cooking of cereals a long time
Is mos.. Important. Different kinds
Mpag need longer or shorter
periods of cooking. Corn
KflnflH meal, one cupful, takes
J55iB foUr cunfu,s of hblllng
direct hent live to ten
minutes, then' slowly

the same time over hent and threo
hours doublo boiler cooking or flreless
Hll-nlght cooking. Rice tnkes threo
to live cupfuls of water to a cupful of
rice and the same cooking as oats. If
the cereal Is to be cooked In flio lire
less where there Is no evaporation,
one-fourth to a half cupful less of
wnter should bo -used.
Cream of Oats Soup. Take one cup
ful of cooked diced potato, n medium
sized onion, minced,' browned In two
tablespoonfuls of fat. Add one cup
ful of cooked rolled oats and suffi
cient boiling wnter to cover. Simmer
until the vegetables are tender; then
add two cupfuls of hot milk, three ten
spoonfuls of salt, pepper, celery, salt

- Learn to make tho most of life,
Lose no happy duy:
Time will never bring thee back,
Chances swept away.
Longfellow.
GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.
Prunes that have been soaked over
night, then simmered until tender,
make u most appetizing
dish. Remove tho pits
and fill with nicely sea
soned cottuge cheese.
They may be served as
a salad on lettuce with
n mayonnaise dressing.
Spanish Sauce. This
sauce Is good served
with boiled tongue, sweetbreads or
vnrlous meats. Put Into a saucepan
two tablespoonfuls of butter, one of
olive oil, n few dashes of salt, one
onion, a clove of garlic, half a green
pepper, chopped, arid brown all to
gether. When well-browned add a.
pint of tomatoes that have been
strained. Season with paprika, salt,
a few drops of tabasco and n teaspoon
ful of Worcestershire sauce. Servo
hot over the heated tongue.
Wartime Pastry. Grease a pie tin
well, then sprinkle thickly with corn
meal, dusting it well up to the sides.
Then fill with any desired mixture
pumpkin, custard lemon or cream fill
ing; bake as usual. The pie will cut
and serve as well as If the regular
pastry had been used and It tastes
good, too.
Cold boiled rice may he used In the
same way In place of pastry or corn
meal, making a most appetizing pie.
Barley Sponge Cake. Take one and
a half cupfuls of barley flour, four
eggs, one tablespoonful of lemon Juice,
one and a half cupfuls of corn sirup,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt
and two teaspoonful of baking pow
der. Sepnrate the yolks nnd whites
of the eggs, beating each well, stir In
the sirup and flour sifted with tho
dry Ingredients. Dake in a moderato
oven.
Dnrley flour docs not keep as well
as wheat flour, so It should be bought
In smnll quantities. Pastry Is better
used tho same day, when prepnred with
barley flour. Less shortening is need
ed when using barley, otherwise it Is
used Just as one doo.i wheat flour.

Honor the Girl Who Works.
Working girl Is a term that Is broad
ening out. Not only does It Include im
Increasing number, but It Is becoming
a title of respect. As "a lady of leis
ure" Is fast turning Into n term of re
proach, so to be "a working girl" Is be
coming the Ideal of most high-minded
girls.
School Children
It Is thechlldrcn of school nge, and
the young folks going nway to school
that claim nttentlon In August. Early
In September they begin another year's
work and must bo outfitted with
clothes for the first quarter of the
school year, at least, and often for
half of it.
Tho early display of clothing Ab a
great help to those mothers who under
take to have their children's clothes
inude at home. It is probably quite as
economical to buy little cotton dresses
rendy-mado as to make them nt home ;
but In home-made garments Individual
taste can bo brought Into play nnd
more handwork and "stitchery" used
than enn be hnd In moderately priced
frocks bought ready made.
Resides, remodeling Is an Item in
wartime economy that every mother
should consider. All woolen frocks that
are either remodeled for tho children
or hnnded on to some one who enn
wear them save the. consumption of
energy, and this' Is a patriotic service
that is worth while.

For Fall
To shudo the eyes or not to uhniie
tho eyes, that Is the question to be
decided when the quest Is for uuto
bonnets for fall motoring. There are
several requisites that the successful
bonnet or hat or cap must fill. First
of all It must stay on ; no mntter what
winds may blow or how much tho driv
er manages to exceed tho speed hlmlt.
To wobble nbout or come off Is the un
forgivable sin In a piece of motor heiul
wenr. Resides this Indispensable fea
ture and equally Important the boa
net must mensure up to Its wearer's
Ideas of hecomlngness.
Comfort In all our apparel Is an at
tribute that (It almost goes without,
aaying) Is required of It today. Near
ly all the hats and bonnets for mo
toring have smnll brims, or visors at
tho front for shading the wyes, but
there are some turbans and caps that
are brlmlcss. They are. in the mi
nority; so It Is evident that If tho ques
tion of shading tho eyes or not were
put to tho popular vote tho eyes
would hnve It. Nevertheless, tho
"Rluo Devil" tnm Is so dear to tho
neart of young Americans that It en
ters the ranks of fall hats for motor-j
tvenr. It sticks to the head as secure
ly us a French soldier to a Sammy, nnd
withstands shocks of wind and wcath-!
?r without betrujlng their punishment.
Claim Attention
, as in u model showing a plaited, long
j wnlstcd blouse of amethyst-colored
linen o which, a plaited blue "sorgo
I skirt Is buttoned. A broad belt of
I patent leathor slips through crocheted
j loops of amethyst silk floss that hnng
from the blouse. They nre fastened to
It with a few fancy stitches, an lncl
or so nbove tho buttons so that tha
belt covers the joining of skirt , and
blouse.
Heavy linen in hntural color makes
collars and cuffs and sometimes vcs
tees on sorgo one-piece frocks. NeedU
work In yarn or silk floss Is more used
for decoration thnn anything else,
Usually one or two colors In contrnsj
to the frock are used nnd the design
must be simple. The little frock plq
tured for the girl of six years Is n good!
model for any "sort of material wool,
linen, heavy cotton or plain wash silk,
Wool and linen aro most worth while,
for tho stitchery that muRt be put In
by hand.
Collars and cuffs or vestoos In heavy
nntural linen nro beautiful In combli
nation with blue, brown or green wool
ens. They aro mado so that they can,
be taken out and washed; hence twa
sots arc necessary to -each dress.
Motoring
It Is for youthful wearers and shading
the eyes Is not n matter of concora
with It. There aro veils and goggles
for that If shading Is needed. This
tnm, mado of silk, appears at the left
of tho two pictures.
At the right there Is n corduroy bon
net clearly of Dutch bonnet inspira
tion. It has a becoming drooping brim
all about tho face, but a. brief brlmless
spaco across, the back. Hero is a bit
of strategy which Is successful In keep
ing tho bonnet on tho head. A short,
strong clastic band Is set Into tho basa
of tho crdwn nt this point and Its ten
sion makes the bonnet hug tho head.
The crown Is ilcxlblo and tho bonnet
has a soft lining of silk. Everyono
known the enduring quality of cordu
roy and this model will surely com
mend Itself to motorists. A small
chiffon veil, gathered over an elastic
cord with snap fasteners nt tho end, la
easy to adjust $n It nnd easy to talto
off.

"Tho federal government, tho manu

"Foundations costing hundreds ol
