The Greater Omaha Guide s HOME-MAKER'S CORNER Fresh Fruits, Bftrries, Sugar — Easy Pies Satisfy Appetites fcasv Dessert: You need go no further than a bowlful of luscious, rosy-pink strawberries, plain or sug ared with cream for a perfect sum mery dessert. Desserts are nutritious but they are served mainly for morale. Fruits, Sparkling with their glori-1 ous colors, give a | fitting close to a * heavy meal. On the other hand, 1 heavier desserts i give a rich flavor | to an otherwise | simple meal. Desserts take care of the sweet tooth, that craving for something ut terly delicious. No longer do they require only sugar. Substitutes have been developed that give pies, cakes and puddings all the goodness of former times but do not dip into the sugar canister with a big scoop. Desserts can give you part of the important protein requirement for the day if they're made with cereals. Add fruits to cereal and you have a nourishing as well as appetite-appealing dish.

Stretch out the strawberries by adding a bit of rhubarb when you make them into a sauce. The color will be rosy-red. the flavor delicious served over cottage pudding, plain cake or dump lings. If you are low on fruits for coffee cake fillings, use last win ter's jams, jellies or marma lades. For a quick coffee cake batter, butter the pan, line with orange marmalade and pour bat ter over it. Cook potatoes with their skins on whenever possible to save val uable iron. Experiments show that potatoes lose about 10 per cent of their iron in the cooking water.

These are attractive and better than-good tasting sweets and yet they don't use a speck of your lim ited sugar supply. Older people are extraordinarily fond of this confec tion because it isn’t too sweet.

Concrete for Poultry House Proves Ideal Can Be Built to Suit Flock of Any Size THE ideal poultry house will pro vide plenty of ventilation, with out drafts, direct sunlight, and be free from excess moisture and ex treme temperatures. The ideal house will also allow for expansion, unless small units are desirable. A 20 x 20 foot house will prove sufficient for from 100 to 150 hens. The features of an ideal house can be secured from a poultry house made from concrete blocks, which also has other advantages, being ' rat-proof and long-lasting. Regardless of the shape of the roof, a straw loft will add year around comfort to poultry in the house. The laying house should include proper roosts built over concrete or matched dropping boards; nests protected against the light, easy to clean; covered dry-mash hoppers, easy to fill and clean; curtains for open fronts, or movable windows; running water, with sanitary drink ing fountains. In most localities, a poultry house, unless also used as a brooder house, may have one-fourth of its area in front, open, but protected by curtain rolls. A south or southeastern slope pro vides the best location for a poultry house. In building a long house, solid partitions should be erected every 20 to 30 feet, to prevent drafts. Agriculture In the News W. J. DRYDEN New Potato Facts. A scab and blight resistant potato, early producing, good cookinr qual ity and meeting market require ments — is the promise of new varieties being developed for the 32 potato breed ing states. A starch is now being produced from domestic po tatoes, equal in quality to the Holland and Germany imported starch. Plastics are being manufactured from potato pulp, by-product of starch manufacturing. German chemists have produced a rice-like food, mainly made of pota toes and whey. Larger potatoes, of higher vitamin content, can be produced by seed potatoes being treated in gas-tight chambers. Potatoes are being used to manu facture paper and alcohol in addi tion to furnishing feed Swine Pox Shows Rapid Increase A substantial increase in swine pox has been reported. Swine raisers should recognize the fact that there are two types of pox virus, says a report of the American Veterinary Medical association. One type, swine pox virus, does not cause many death losses but does undermine the hog's health. The other type, cow pox virus, causes a severe disturbance and a number of deaths. The important step in all cases is to eliminate lice from the ani mals and the premises, because lice are the actual carriers of this dis ease. Where there are no lice, there is no swine pox If lice is present the hogs should be treated with an oil and sulphur solution and quar ters thoroughly cleaned and disin fected regularly.

OEORaiA I D.—Maybe you can give me some helpful advice. I am 18 years of age and am in love with a youn gman 3 years my senior. I know he loves me and want to get married. This man has been mar_ ried once. Do you think there will be anything wrong if I married him? People joke me about him but if they knew how awfully sweet he is to me, they would probably un derstand We have brought this proposal before my people. At first they left it to us, and then then heard such rumors, as people often hear, and they suddenly chang ed their minds. Do you think it would be too wrong if we were se cretly married over their protest? You see. we love each other desper ately . Ans: Secret marriages are always wrong Marriage makes it right for two people to live together npeo ly and should never be shrouded in_ to secrecy. When you marry, do so openly and in the eyes of all who know you There must be some specific reason for your parents to change their mind about this young man as they have done Postpone any thoughts of marriage until you • have had ample time to get to the bottom of these rumors And thrasli the matter out The fact that he has been married once before is e nough to make your parents a little dubious of him but if he can con vince them beyond a doubt that he is sincere, they will see your side of | the issue in time Li. G. T.—I have been married two years and my husband is over seas. He was the first ai d only boy I went with and the only one I ever olved. Since he has been gone, I have fallen in love with a man 17 years older than I and has a wife and children. He's a gam. bier with a bad reputation. At first he was very sweet and come to see me 3 times a week but now I only see him once a week. I have tried to quit him but when he comes around, I can't resist him. I can’t go out with him because of his wife and she is really jealous of | he and I Should I stop going with this man, and if so how can I? Ans; Of course you must stop go ing with this man, as you will know if you are to find any happisess at all and keep yourself respect. Take) stock of yourself and be fair enough to admit that you are getting noth ing from this sordid affair and you will be more than glad to cast h^n aside. You're not in love with him .you’re in love wii.iV the illusion you have built around him. Your husband gave you credit for being mature and having strength of character to resist temptations of this kind and you are certainly building him up for a great let down. Wipe the slate clean now. once and for all, and get back in the groove of that of a loyal mate. L. C B.—Yes, you may write for your Astro Reading.

She has never worked and for the past few months she has ion been writing home asking our permission for her to go to the city and work this summer. Several of the girls in her group are going to work and she wishes to join them. We give her nice clothes, and al ways give her a nice vacation ev ery summer but she had made up her mind that she wants to work and we haven't been successful in talking her out of it. Do you think it would be all right for us to give our consent for her to go to the city and live this summer and work? Ans: Many girls her age are do. ing summer work The money they earn practically takes care of their school expenses during the year Make it a point to see that your aaughter( along with the other girls finds a desirable place to live The experience she receives during the course of the summer will be very helpful to her. She will learn how to earn her living and to live within her income. The change should be good for her and she certainly is old Dr. F. D.

Lewis Writes From... the PACIFIC 1 (by S/Sgt. Lawrence P. Lewis Bombay to Me... The average mAreican thinks of Bombay as a colorful and romantic city of the far East. In many way* this is true, and 1 have always thought the same The portrayal of the city in the movies made me all the more eager to visit it. I looked forward to the pass wb* h would enable me to go there I did not know what to expect, but that did not dull my anticipation Entering the city I was accosted by Indians of all descriptions. They were selling nick-knacks of all kinds; knives, canes, watches, jew elry of all makes, pictures magaz ines, papers and every little thing a person can imagine, and some you cannot imagine. There were mag icians which took my breath away, with their magic, and making snak es come from everywhere. I was a little frightened when I came upon a man or boy who was playing some sort of music to a cobra snake Rooster fights on the streets were not uncommon. The Indians had almost anything to make an Amer ican spend his money. They dashed up to you wanting to clean your fingernails or remove corns or bun ions, and guarantee their work They would overcharge you most of the time, and you get a little pan icky at their excitement, and usual ly pay them what they ask. We were warned not to buy thcr fiuit, and although it looked delic ious I was afraid to eat any of n, somehow I was afraid of this strange nation, and these strange people. $ have kept that feeling to this day. After being a sucker so many times, now, whenever I pur chase anything, I am afraid I am being cheated. I just, can’t get on to their way of doing business. It ,s so very different than the Amer ican way. The most appalling sight was that of the beggars. Children with no arms, and many blind; old men who had limbs missing; old women dress ed in dirty white clothing. and many little l.oys and girls that just beg for a li'ing. 1 guess I was omewhat dumbfounded by tne sight of deformity. I just couldn't picture people like this, although evjry country must have them. I felt only pit} and sympatny; it was not a pretty sight. Almost every where I have been in India thev flatter an American by calling him. Rajah or Riclt Man. I don't believe it is so much the man, although most Americans spend their money freely; Put in some ways they have seen the power and wealth of our groat country, and in many ways they have heard. The streets of the city were nar row in most places, and vet many were made beautiful by their pools and erectures of art that graced many an interesection. Cars, rick a-shaws, and small enclosed carriag es, served the greater of the trans portation. The city also had street cars, but because of the crowded condition, most of them moved very slow It was not uncommon to see an Indian herding many head of cattle through a busy street. Build ings were mostly painted white, and very few were over four stories high. Quite a large part of the city was out of bounds to American troops, and I did not know the out of bounds area very well, so I imagine 1 was out of bounds quite often dut ing my stroll The Indian and British military police did not both er me, but the American M P. will not only bother you, but send you back where you came from, ana I don’t mean the states. They are only trying to protect us from the evils that can befall a soldier; I am always glad to see them, believe it or not. I had so little time, and did not have the opportunity to see the best of Bombay. I did not realists how clean and modern America was un til I visited my first city overseas No wonder the people of the world love the American way of .ite. Our Country just has something; I don't know if it is her freedom or her e qual chance to every man. ->r the de sire to give every man. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but every American should thani: his God a million times, that we are so blessed It is getting much easier for me every day to understand why Amer ica is the symbol of all freedom loving nations. Its freedom its wealth and its power, so many of us have taken for granted hut so many of us do not know We all know the old saying, “that the gras always looks greener on the other side of the fence." but this time close your eyes to that hope for tht greener grass, and pray that there will always be an America Patrol Traffic Tips An account taken from the filet of the Patrol about a recent acci dent shows that a family was trav eling homeward on a Nebraska high way.

OUR TIP—"Never follow another vehicle too closely.” NEBRASKA SAFETY PATROL ii Your baby’s first cereal feeding is an important day in his life. This will be his first contact with food that is not a drink. If his orange juice and cod liver oil have been taken from a spoon, so much the better, for the spoon isn’t strange, though the cereal is. 1 For the first feeding of cereal, make it very thin so it will not be so different from his milk. The baby cereals are pre-cooked and only need to be mixed with quite warm formula or milk. If your baby is breast-fed, your doctor will tell you how to prepare the milk to use on the cereal. A very thin, almost liquid cereal, will not seem so strange. .w But even a thin cereal requires a different way of swallowing than the milk he has had. Milk slides down through his mouth but more solid food has to be managed with his tongue, so his first impulse may be to spit it out. Pretend spitting out of his cereal is what you ex pected and place a little more well back in his mouth. Usually a new food is given at the beginning of the meal. But, baby is probably ravenously hun gry and may resent trying some thing unfamiliar. In that case, give about half of his bottle (or breast milk) before expecting him to be willing to try something new. When the worst of his hunger is satisfied with his familiar food, then introduce the new food. It is well not to confuse baby by giving a second cereal for the first week or so. But, even babies en joy variety, so, before long you can give him a wheat cereal food one day and then an oatmeal the next day. WANT MORE MONEY?
