Kome Sconomics Department Strawberries Plentiful and Cheap on Omaha Market What Are We Going To Do About W The watchvord of the hour, 10 far at the housewife it concerned,' it "conserve the food upply," and the grave importance of thil saving ii made more and more clear to us. From the little I have gathered from people close in touch with the food situation, people in general have little idea yet now serious tne tooa proD lem is. We talk a great deal, but so far we have not made any changes in our food habits. I am beginning to ee the v reason why we change our menus so slowly. Whenever a new food is tried by my classes there is the greatest reluctance to taste it, and even if the student discovers she likes it the invariable comment is "My father wouldn t eat it. till 1 have come to the conclusion that The Men Won't Eat the New floods, One eirl s father won t eat hominv: another girl's father won't eat corn- 3 "IT'S GOOD FOR YOU" HAPPY HEALTHY CHILDREN Include Plenty of DEUCIA Brand Ice Cream in the Children's Diet-It is Conducive of Bright, Smiling Faces and Healthy, .Hardy Bodies Sold By All Good Druggists and Confectioners Special for Thii Sunday, "Sunshine" Co-Operation.

The situation seems in some respects to be almost a deadlock; we must cook what the family likes, but he family refuses to like these foods. If we bet our tables at the former level, we have just so much less for the things we want to do be sides mere existing. By "us" I mean the salaried man whose income was stretched nearly to the breaking point in the last few years of rising living costs. The extra stretch to meet the oresent abnormal food costs cannot be managed except at tne expense ot other things, such as clothing or sav ings. erhaps men do not realize how much their likes and dislikes dominate the home table; but a chance visit to anv gathering ot women where cook ing is discussed (and in what gather ing of housewives is it not discussed?) would prove the truth of the state ment We pride ourselves on being open- minded" on all topicsf we despise the Iierson who has settled into a rut and abel him "old fogy," but somehow we fail to make the connection be tween ooen-mindedness and food. We ought to realize that the man or wom an who refuses to consider new foods is narrow-minded at least on that one topic. I heard a friend of mine say once that when she came across a food that people liked and she didn't, she would tell herself that it was she who was being cheated; that she was missing one of the goqd things of this world. In that frame of mind it was not long until she had learned to like the food. For I am firmly convinced that with the vast majority of people, the attitude of mind is wrong when a food is refused, not the digestive sys tem. To be sure, one must make al lowances for real physical peculiar ities. There are certain people who' are made, ill by strawberries, or onions, or even eggs, and if one has such a oeculiaritv it would be the I sheerest folly not to respect it. But how many people are made ill by the foods they don't "like?" Another topic which concerns us all, whether we are responsible for food preparations or not, is the sub ject ot table waste. We are urged not to take more of any food than we can eat, for food that has been toyed with cannot be used again. People are urging that we finish every bit of food upon our plates. In one way that is a good rule, but I think it is not the best one. The idea of eating food to save it is a peculiarly harmful doctrine. - For there is no waste more sinful than physiological waste; and if the appetite is normal, when we do not acsirc tne last dii 01 100a, we ao not need it. Hence the extra food on our plates which we eat against our better judgment, probably, is not used by the body, or provides an extra strain on the digestive apparatus. The wisest rule is to take small, portipns if one has a fickle appetite and ask for a second helping if more food is de sired. Even a child can be accus tomed to gauging his own appetite if the value of foodstuffs is impressed upon him. One last word at to food conser vation, or economy. The word "econ omy" should never be ' synono mous with refraining from use. Eco nomy means wise use, or lack of extravagance, but not going without We are urged to a wiser consump tion, but never to abstaining. The far-reaching effects to the business world of sudden changes in our habits of using things cannot be esti mated. There are certain people in any community who ought not to change tbeir food habits except in eliminating waste. That point should be followed by eve'ry one, no matter how great or how small the income. But think what would "happen if every one should suddenly cease use- Most In Food Value From our Government at Washington comes the earned appeal for economy in use of foods.

Every beef animal produces a certain number of porterhouse steaks, regardless of the condition of the country; if some peo ple do not use these expensive cuts, what happens? The price of all the cuts must go up to a certain extent to help the butcher meet his losses on the expensive cuts. Hence, the most patriotic kind of purchasing that the very wealthy can do is to con tinue using the expensive foods, the price of which means less of a drain on their pocketbooks than the price of the cheaper foods does to the aver age family. The cardinal principle of food con servation is careful use of food pro ducts with no waste on the part of anyone. Added to that it cannot be too strongly urged that the men of limited incomes pride themselves on food open-mindedness, as well as an other kinds of breadth of vision. And lastly, the wealthy can best act their part in the food conservation move ment by using the scarcer foods and thus meeting their share of food cost on the principle of taxation, accord ing to one's ability to bear the burden. Request The Nebraska Food Conervatinn meeting, scheduled for1 next week, is very desirous of obtaining some home dried rhubarb.

The banana is useful not only for its flavor, but because it is a food and source of real nourishment as well, gratifying the palate while it also uilds up muscles and repairs nerve tissues. It is in its fresh state that ' it chiefly appeals to us, but there are also many delicious methods of cook ing the banana. The following ways of cooking and serving this fruit are most appetizing. BANANA AND COCO AN I. T A LA CBEME. 3 or 4 bananas. fresh grated crfcoa 3 t, lemon juice. nut. 1 egg white. 4 c. whipping cream. 3 T. powdered eugar. Hazelnuts. 1 c. desalcated or Select large bananas, peel them and cut each banana in four pieces. Place in a buttered pan and sprinkle with remaining powdered sugar and cocoa nut have been added. BANANA PIE. Pastry. - 3 T. orange Juice. 6 bananas. 2 egg whites. H c. eugar. 2 T. powdered eugar. 1 T. corn starch. Line a deep pie plate with good pastry, fill with sliced bananas, al ternating bananas, sugar and orange juice, sift the corn starch over the top ana bake until light brown. Cover with a meringue made o the egg whites beaten until stiff, sweet ened with the powdered sugar and flavored with orange. Bake till a delicate brown in a moderate oven. BAKED APPLES AND, BANANAS. 6 apples. 3 bananas. 6 t. sugsr. 1 T. lemon Juice. Prepare the apples as for ordinary baking, but make the hole from which the core is removed large enough to hold half a banana. If the latter is too large around, trim it off a little. Sprinkle a teaspoonful of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice over each apple. Bake in a moderately hot oven. This imparts the flavor of the bananas to the apples. reki I I 11 "Say, if I ran my business the way this house is run" 100 Good y jam Forty Stores
