The Greater Omaha Guide s I HOME-MAKER’S CORNER ?!_ ■ HOUSEHOLD •» •> Good to Bake—That’s Devil’s Food Cake (See Recipe Below) o Cake Tempters Family hungry for cake? As a 3 general rule, families take it easy on cakes during the spring and summer because there’s a wealth of fruits and ber ries to solve the dessert problem. But, comes the first whiff of fall in the air, when the kitchen will stay cool enough even for baking, and J there’s the family on mother’s heels begging for a cake. Then, too, husbands and sons will soon be returning, and they will want a big taste of mother’s good homemade cake. Be ready for the call when it comes, homemakers, with a brand new line-up of recipes that are bound to win the family. We’re still aware of the strategic situation in regard to sugar, so the following recipes don’t go all-out for sugar. They’re taste-tempting and delicious in spite of it all, and there’s a grand variety from which to choose. Take your pick: •Bran Devil's Food Cake. (Makes 16 cupcakes) ° 1% cups sifted cake flour 1*4 cups sugar 14 cup cocoa 214 teaspoons baking powder : ^ 14 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon salt 14 cup shortening 14 cup whole bran 1 cup milk - 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs Sift flour once, measure then sift again with sugar, cocoa, baking pow der, soda and salt into mixing bowl. Add shortening and whole bran. Add about % of the milk, then vanilla; beat until perfectly smooth, about 100 strokes. Scrape bowl and spoon and mix well. Add remaining milk and beat until well blended. Add the well-beaten eggs. Fill greased muffin tins % full. Bake in a moder ate (350-degree) oven about 25 or 30 minutes. Do you like a cake served warm, in squares, with the tangy flavor of a citrus marmalade? This, then, is made-to-order: Marmalade Tea Cake. 2 tablespoons melted butter or sub stitute 14 cup brown sugar 1*4 cups corn flakes 114 cups sifted flour ° 3 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons sugar 14 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons shortening 1 egg % cup milk 14 cup marmalade Blend together butter, brown sugar and *4 cup corn flakes. Set this aside for the topping. Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening. Beat egg and add milk. Add to dry ingredients, stir ring only until combined. Add re maining 1 cup of cornflakes. Turn into greased 8-inch square pan. Dot Lynn Says: Make Dishwashing Easier: Stunt fishy odors on dishes by washing them in soapy water to which some vinegar has been added. Rinse dishes in hot vine gar water, also. Hot, soapy water is indicated for greasy dishes; cold water for egg. starchy and milky dishes. Scrape dishes before starting to wash and have a strainer in the sink to collect all leftovers. It's much easier than scooping them up out of the water. Stack dishes csrefully before washing. It won't seem like you have so many, and there’s less chance of their breaking. China can be allowed to dry by itself on a dish rack, but glasses, silver and cutlery should be wiped immediately after wash ing. Make sure you have plenty of good absorbent dish towels handy. Use paper toweling for hands to save cloth towels.

Bake in a hot (400 degree) oven for 25 minutes. Serve warm, cut in squares. Sour Cream Spice Cake. 94 cup shortening 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg 94 cup thick sour cream 194 cups sifted cake flour 94 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 96 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon cinnamon 94 teaspoon cloves Cream sugar and shortening, add egg and beat well. Add sour cream. Sift flour with baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves and cinnamon. Add two tablespoons of the dry in gredients to the creamed mixture. Beat thoroughly. Add remaining dry ingredients to the first mixture, beating well. Pour into a well greased and well floured pan and bake in a pre- , heated 350 - de gree oven for 30 minutes. An unusual va riation in cakes is to use ginger bread as an upside-down cake with an apple or orange topping. This saves both sugar and fussing as it is not necessary to make an icing for this type of cake: Gingerbread Upside-Down Cake. 14 cup shortening 14 cup sugar 1 egg 14 cup molasses 114 cups sifted flour 14 teaspoon salt 114 teaspoons baking powder 14||taspoon baking soda 94 teaspoon cinnamon 94 teaspoon ginger 14 cup sour milk Bottom of pan: Z tablespoons butter or substitute 14 cup light corn syrup 14 cup nuts 2 sliced apples or oranges Cream sugar and shortening. Add egg, beat well. Add molasses, blend. Sift dry ingredients and add alter nately with the milk to the creamed mixture. To prepare pan, melt butter and add corn syrup. Ar range fruit and nuts. Pour batter over fruit and bake for 35 minutes in a 375-degree oven. Turn cake out of pan immediately after removing from oven. For those of you who like your whipped cream and can’t get it, here is an excellent way of making it: Whipped Cream. Hi teaspoons plain, unflavored gel- | atin % cup cold milk or water 1 cup well-chilled light cream Soften gelatin in cold liquid. Set ever hot water and stir until thor oughly dissolved. Pour cream into fairly deep, narrow bowl, making sure it is deep enough so cream covers at least 3/\ of the beaters. Stir in softened gelatin gradually. Set bowl in a pan of ice and let stand 5 minutes, stirring around edges several times. Leaving bowl in ice and water, beat with rotary beat er 5 minutes. Cream will be light and fluffy but will not stand stiff enough to peak. Let stand 1 or 2 minutes more in ice water, stirring gently. Cream will thicken and be- | come stiff enough to peak. This may be sweetened and flavored to taste. It may be served immediately or kept in refrigerator or cold place until ready to serve. Texture im proves on standing in refrigerator for Vi hour. Stir until smooth and serve. Released by Western Newspaper Union. • ROOM FOR RENT Preferably Railroad man or Packing house workers- Call HA-0800.

Moore, chairman of the USO National Council, how she sends candy overseas. Hard candies In metal containers is her advice. Happily. Miss Scott, who has been with the USO for more than four years, will not have to send her most important Christmas gifts overseas this year. Her soldier fiance. Sgt. Richard L. Brock, has just returned from the European Theatre of Operations, where he served in the 827th Tank Destroyer Battalion, and the wedding day has been set. Miss Scott has been a Unit Su pervisor in the USO Department of Field Operations, in the Empire State Headquarters in New York City. She is now assigned to the Accounting Department. In demonstrating the types of gifts suitable for service men and service women overseas, and the proper measurements and weight of the box, Mrs. Moore reminds the “folks back home” that mailing dates for overseas are September 15 to October 15. Containers should be durable, measuring not more than 36 inches in length and girth combined, and 15 inches in width. Weight must not exceed 6 pounds. Packages must be tied securely and addressed accurately, with the sen der’s name in the upper left hand corner. "Be sure to mark your package 'Christmas gift’ ” is Mrs. Moore’s final reminder. against Negro soldiers which ap peared to be unjust. The Legal Department of the NAACP has re viewed the records of many court martial cases within the United States and from overseas and in many instances of unfairness of trial and sentence.” The NAACP announced that, whether its request for represent ation is granted or not, its National Office and Veterans Bureau will to the limit of their ability attempt to present the facts in cases where Negroes have been treated unjustly, particularly where such facts during war time could not be effectively or completely/ present(/*• Tlje MAA CP invites veterans or relatives of veterans who feel that injustice has Welfare of employees is a first concern I OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS, WHO NOW PROVIDE.'

They became so accus tomed to drinking all of their food that it was difficult to teach them to eat foods of a more solid con sistency. Milk is an important food, in fact ia the mainstay of the diet for babies and growing children. Dur ing the first few weeks milk, orange juice and some form of I vitamin D (cod liver oil or vioste rcl) supply all of the needs, but other foods are necessary by the time the baby is four or five months old. Special baby cereals, precooked and ready to serve merely by ad dition of milk, supply vitamins particularly, also some additional protein and some minerals. These cereals are fortified to supplement the food values of milk. Vegetables supply vitamins par ticularly, as do fruits. That is why strained baby foods are given be fore the end of the first half year. Evidences of vitamin and mineral "deficiencies are no longer common, as they once were. The other important reason these especially prepared baby foods are started during the first three to four months is to teacl babies to eat a variety of foods, of different texture, consistency and flavor, so that they will not be come addicted to milk and the so called liquid habit. If your child prefers to drink milk and doesnol seen) to want to eat other foods, give him the others first while h< b hungry, and withhold the mill until the end of the meal. been done in courts martial to com municate promptly with the NAA CP at 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York- It is urged that only bona fide cases accompanied by care fully checked factual material ac company requests for intervention by the NAACP CIVILIAN BILLY CONN FIGHTS NOVEMBER ~TH Camp Lee, Va-, (CNS) Back in mufti, Billy Conn, heavyweight title contender from Pittsburgh is lookng to resume his career in box ing.
