When they climbed the snow-covered mountains expecting to find the atmosphere very cold they were surprised to discover that it was warmer than below the snow line. Wild flowers grew in won derful profusion and the water was delicious, but to counterbalance these delights the mosquitoes were so bad that they were obliged to wear mos quito nets all day. On their return they visited Chey enne, Denver, Boulder, Colorado Spring, Manitou and all the other points of interest in Colorado. With the exception of one day there was rain each day that they were gone. On Vacation Trips. . Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rosenblum and Mr. and Mrs. S. J.

Omaha women active in war relief work are divided on the ouestion of combining the work of the National Surgical Dressings committee with the hospital supplies department of the Red Cross society. Such a move ment is gaining momentum in the east. While locallv the lime wnnin hn in the work of both organizations, Strom? ODDOsitton is vnirpri atraintt theproposed union. "The hospital supplies of the Sur gial Dressings ommittee prepared in umana are snipped directly to trance for immediate use. in hnsnitals in th war zone. The more men we, save mrougn tms agency, the tewer of our poys wui nave to go to f ranee, maintained Mrs. Georce Prim. "If these supplies were turned over 10 int Kea t-ross at tnis time when the societv is in th nrnrrcs nf re organization the chances are they would only be shipped to Chicago or iNew xorK ana stored mere m ware houses, not to be used for a long time yet," she added. Miss Jessie Millard, one of the first to start general war relief work in Omaha, exnrescpd hrc1f orrvattv in favor of the union of the two Organ izations. . "The Red Cross society is the log ical agency to take over this work, especially as it is reported that means of shipping hospital supplies to France are narrowing. The Red Cross will SOOn furnish the onlv avenue hv -wliirh the supplies may be transported across the ocean." ' Mrs. O. C. Redick, local chairman, declared the matter would be settled by the national surgical dressings committee. Mrs. Redick just received a piteous request from Paris for more hospital supplies. The letter is from Gertrude Austin, vice president, un der date of July 6. Miss Austin had then returned from a visit to the battlefields of Maiso nette, Peronne, Noipu and Roye. "A hospital begs us for 5,000 dress ings. We can only send them 100," she writes. "If America will continue to furnish hospital supplies.he gov ernment can then allow more money for loodr Plans Are Worked Out for "Yarn Day" on Saturday Plans for "Yarn Day," Saturday were devised by Mrs. H. L. New branch, local chairman, and L. W. Trester of Lincoln of the State Navy league organization, who spent the day in Omaha. Money is to be raised for the purchase of wool to be knit ted into mufflers, helmets, and sleeve less jackets for United States sailors, marines and aviators. "Other organizations are supplying soldiers. It is the Navy league's pur pose to furnish comfort articles to sailors," said Mrs. Trester. "There are many excellent knitters who are willing to give their time but cannot purchase the wool. It is to supply these workers that "Yarn Day' will be held. "The discomfort of one man on board ship may incapacitate him and endanger the lives of others aboard ship." , Hundreds of young girls who will help in the campaign will meet in the aNtional Service league rooms in the First National Bank building Thursday morning for instructions.

Care for Food in Summer While people should be careful about the condition of the food they eat at all seasons, they should be par ticularly watchful during the summer months" declares Dr. Carl L. Als berg, chief of the government bureau of chemistry. "Housewives should see to it, therefore, that their milk, after being left by the milkman, does not stand for any length of time on a hot back porch before it is put in the ice box. Milk bottles should be kept closed, both in the ice box and out of it, and if there is any doubt at all re garding the excellence of the local milk supply, pasteurize the milk. "All fuCd should be kept covered or wrapped, and always out of reach of flies, which are deadly carriers of typhoid. All vessels, pitchers, etc., in which food is to be stored, should first be scalded, and the food handled as little r.s possible. The ice box, especially its drain pipe should be cleaned thoroughly ana frequently with boiling water and washing soda, and given an occasional airing. "Uncooked foods, as a general prop osition, should be avoided. Children Angel Food Cake It Is onlv when eees are cheap that angel food cake is practical and when made some other dish should be prepared at the same time to use up the yolks at once. In this way they do not harden as so often hap- Pe,?s- Angel food cake belongs m tne iisi marked "beware" for the inexperi enced. The oven must be hot but not too hot; the eggs beaten stiff but not too stiff; the cake brown but not too brown; and done but not too done when it leaves the oven. Each and every one of these points is a matter of experience which can only be acquired personally. And yet, once acquired, angel food cake is as "safe" and as "sure" as any other cake. The thing to do is watch, never repeat mistakes, and when a mistake is made, find out exactly what it is so it can be remedied. The two causes for failure whicli are most common are too slow an oven and taking the cake out before it has baked through. While the oven must not be hot enough to harden the egg albumen tmduly, it must be hot enough to cook the cake to the center in the required time (from forty-five to fifty minutes for a large loaf). If it is not cooked to the center and dried out, it means that imprison ed steam will later condense and be absorbed by the spongy interior; it means a soggy cake. It is also because of the spongy tex ture that the pan is inverted as soon as it comes from the oven and allowed to cool before .the cake is removed. If this were not done the little air sacs would collapse and the cake be soggy. By hanging suspended, however, the air sacs are held open, by their own weight pulling downward, until after the contraction due to cooling has taken place. It is in order that the cake may be inverted without falling out that the pan is left unbuttered. It pays to purchase the regulation cake pan and keep it sacred to the use of angel food. Having cited the dangers of the oven that is too slow, we must con sider those of the oven that is too hot. As a glance at the recipe will show, angel food cake is composed largely of egg whites, and egg whiter both harden and burn easily. Now u the oven is too hot, your cake is browned on the outside before it has cooked to the center, the egg whites are hardened and you have a cake both leathery and soggy. The moral is evident; don't have your oven either too hot or too cold and follow the advice of the moralist if you fail and "try, try again" until you learn the proper temperature.

"Those who leave home for vaca tions should not get the idea that everything in a summer resort or strange city is necessarily pure and wholesome. The danger of typhoid in country resorts is very great. Many cases of typhoid fever recorded in the fall in cities, where the water is pure, had their origin in water or contamin ated substances at some summer re sort. Insist on boiled water. If you cannot under any circumstances se cure boiled water, make certain about the reputation of the springs, well, or tap water. Refuse absolutely to take any water that comes from a source near an outhouse or stable, or in a neighborhood where fever is at all prevalent." Mothers' Magazine.
