New potatoes are now selling in the Omaha markets at about 70 cents to 80 cents a peck, but dealera tay they wilt go a good deal lower as aoon as the new crop begins to be gathered in appreciable quantities. . , All the usual summer vegetables are extremely plentiful and this good weather has grven them a succulent ua1irv that la aooetizine.

The Picturesque Small Hat O F vivid apple green, deftly set off with touches of black, is this sailor hat. Lest one get the impression of too great severity, it develops its crown on curving and gen erous bell lines.' Beneath it a Jersey scarf of green and black stripes waves black pompons to the breezes. Any suit in the world would look jaunty and attractive with these little ac cessories to set it off. Jiome Scovom'cs department The "Something Extra" in Foods There was a time when we con tented ourselves in all discussions of food values with a statement of the amount of heat measured in calories, that foods gave to the body. The question of heat, Or fuel value, is still a very vital one; but we find there are other considerations of enormous importance. Because these minor points are just being investigated, and all knowledge of them is in the ex perimental stage, we hesitate to classify them, or give them scientific names, and include them in the term "accessory substances." They are also called "vitamines." It is the accessory substances which give flavor to foods, largely; and it is the accessory' sub stances that make the dirterence De tween good and poor health in some cases. almost entirely on polished rice; and among them a disease of the nerves, polyneuritis, is prevalent. A diet of unpolished rice, or of polished rice plus meat or beans, conquers the disease of polyneuritis. Hence it would appear that the husks of rice contain something absolutely neces sary to life and health, a something which must be supplied in other ways if the husks are discarded. Similarly on long ocean voyages in earlier days, scurvy was wont to break out. The diet then was chiefly dried and canned foods. Adding fresh food to the diet, such as potatoes, or lime juice, cured the scurvy. Other "deficiency dis eases," or diseases caused by lacks in food are being investigated. The average American family, with a liberal food supply, has no need to fear any of these deficiency diseases. With our present state of information concerning them, we can say positively that a varied diet is a sure prevention. There are, however, certain practical applications to be drawn. One is that we cannot meas ure "food" values by heat value alone, as is so frequently assumed. An other point to know is that these sub stances are probably sensitive to heat; which fact gives an added importance Infants-Pothers Thousands testify Hor lick's The Original Malted tYlilk Upbuilds and sustains the body No Cooking or Milk required Used for Y3 of a Century Substitutes Cost YOU Same Price.

This unique little hat will attract a great deal of attention. Co-Operation. Readers ire cordially invited to ak Miss Gross any questions about household economy upon which she may possibly give help ful advice; they are also invited to give suggestions from their expe rience that may be helpful to others meeting the same problems. to including some raw food in any dietary. In providing food for charity cases, it has frequently been consid ered an extravagance to give fresh fruits and vegetables, because they are not as "filling" as the heavier foods. Though the fruits and vege tables may not be "filling," they are absolutely essential to good health. If we rely entirely on canned and dried foods, that is, foods which have been kept for some time, we are apt to have a diet lacking in accessory substances. That point, again, may seem a far-fetched caution to the average American family, Yet I was told recently of a woman who did not use fresh foods much, because the canned things saved so much laborl Let us hope she is the grand exception. To repeat a point made above, the absolute necessity for some uncooked food in the diet furnishes an added point in favor of salads and fruit des serts. The other points in their favor have been discussed in this column IV" M"li SttPJ MCAR011! 1917 MILK-FED SPRING PIG PORK ROAST, PER Fresh Dressed Chickens, lb 18V5c Pig Pork Butts, lb..... 22c Steer Pot Roaat. lb J7"jc Steer Shoulder Steak, lb 19",c Young Veal Roast, lb 14',c Young Veal Chops, lb 18VC Steer Porterhouse Steak, lb. . . . . .22',c Choice Mutton Legs, lb .....lSVsC Choice Mutton Chops, lb lS'je Choice Mutton Roast, lb IS'ic PUBLIC 1910 Harney Street.

We need mineral matter, or ash, which occurs in fresh fruits and vegetables, for building the struc ture of the body, and for regulating the body. We can get this mineral matter from milk, eggs, the hulls of grains, and some too important sources; but fruits and green vege tables are too important sources to be neglected. Another great value of fruity and green vegetables is to furnish "rough age" to the diet. The cellulose, or the woody fiber, of plant foods has re ceived the name of roughage, because it is not digested in the body, but serves as a scourer in removing the body wastes. The beautiful dream of concentrated food in pellets can never be a reality, according to our present knowlege. For a healthy body needs something non-digestible to help in the elimination of wastes. This cel lulose also adds bulk to the diet an addition which is valuable to give the feeling of satisfaction after a meal. A person who is dieting to reduce can eat large quantities of food which is not digested, without adding the food value he is avoiding. jtniiii!iiiiiii!ii!ii!ii!iiiiininnimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii;iiiiiii!ii:!iilij For the Bath Things that add greatly to the i value as well as to the comfort " of the bath f- oll marked at low prices Sponges 5 ZSc to $1.50 m Shower Sprays .98c to $7.50 m Bath Caps 25c to $1.25 J.
