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.
Miss Helen Sorenson, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Sorenson, leaves

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. If the result is pleasing to the
