THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1917. Bridge Discarded lor Red Cross. Society women are well nigh forget ting their bridge clubi these days in the stress of war excitement. "Who hai our bridge club next week?" said one of them, "I've really forgotten, because Red Cross and war relief are so much more important." The Tues day Bridge club. has about decided to abandon its meetings in order to de vote its whole time to war relief. Its meetings were discontinued during Lent. The Red Cross class organized by Mrs. E. H. Sprague and Mrs. VV. A. C Johnson, is hoping that its creden tials will come by Friday, so that it will be able to begin its work. Until the Ted Cross charter is signed, sealed and delivered, it is not a Red Cross class and can do not work for the organization. , small circles at the war relict rooms are steadily growing and Mrs. O. C. Redick reports that within the last ten days at least twenty new members have joined. Demands are constant for work that can be done at borne. To work for some of the organizations engaged in relief du ties has becqme an obsession with al most all the women. Each person that you talk to it either planning to join some circle or some body of women rendering service to their country. To Campaign for Suffrage.

I Uses for Stale Bread One of our many national faults, of which we are reminded frequently, is our demand for fresh bread, and fresh bread only, on our tables. We are perfectly willing to admit that bread twenty-four hours old is far better for the digestive system, but to eat stale bread is another story in some households. Until we gain wisdom, we shall have the problem of what to do with stale bread. To be sure, the careful housewife plans her bread supply as closely as possi ble, still even she occasionally finds stale bread on her hands, especially if the family is small. '.., The easiest way of using' this bread is for toast. Did you ever stop to think that there are two distinct species of toast? One kind merits all the claims of increased digestibility that are told; the other type is as in digestible as fresh, hot bread. To make digestible toast, the fire should be fairly slow, that the bread may dry out quite thoroughly. With a quick flame, lie outside is browned, forming a hard shell, while the inside becomes warm and moist because the imprisoned moisture turns to steam. It you order this second kind ot toast do not imagine that you are eating a specially digestible food. Toast is not only good for breakfast or afternoon tea; it is the base tor most creamed meats, etc, If you want a fancy toast case for creamed foods, croustades are good. They are also good to make a little creamed food go a long way. Cut stale bread into two-inch liccs, cut the slices into cubes or diamonds and hollow out the centers. Brush the boxes so formed with melted butter and brown in the oven. Croutons are served with soups, es pecially thickened soups. To make Croutons, cut bread into inch slices. butter it, cut into cubes, then brown in the oven. Both crousades and Croutons may be prepared by frying in deep fat, in which case omit the buttering. Lvery scrap of stale bread should he dried thoroughly and ground for bread crumbs. Bread crumbs are used in the preparation of so many dishes and a housewife should keep them on hand. The best way of keeping them is to place them in a glass iar and tie a piece of cheesecloth over the top. If crumbs are kept for any length of time in an air-tight iar. they grow musty. The cheesecloth al- ows ventilation, while keeoinsr out the dust. The uses of bread crumbs are legion. All escalloped dishes call for them: they are used on the out side of croquettes, and they are the tonnoation ot meat and hsh stuffings. There' are many special recipes based on stale bread. If one likes them they are an excellent means of utilizing this stale bread; but don't fancy all of them are- inexpensive. Too many people have a false sense of economy, which causes them to use eggs, milk, cream, etc., in a mad attempt to "use up" some stale ma terial.
