Society Pays ToU to War Relief.
An eastern lecturer who last fall
was admitted to the sacred precincts
of our most exclusive homes, proph
esied that only a beginning had been
made in war relief collections and
that the end was in the distant fu
ture. 'We have often been called upon,'
to realize how true his prediction was
since that time. Every society func
tion that once was purely and siniplj
for amusement has been turned into
a benefit for Red Cross or some form
of war relief.
The parade and the picture, "The
Tanks at the Battle of the Ancre."
the Red Cross ball which Mrs. George
Brandeis managed at the Fontenelte,
the innumerable benefit bridge parties
at the country clubs, the Equal Fran
chise Lawn fete .at the John L. Ken
nedy home, and so on ad infinitum, all
attest the fact that collections have
been taken in connection with al
most every society event since the
declaration of war.
Now, however, conies the news, as
tonishing to most of us, that at a wed
ding in Hastings, Neb., Wednesday,
an offering was taken among the rel
atives and few friends who were
present which netted $18 for the Red
Cross.
Further investigation reveals that
this has been done in Omaha on var
ious occasions of rejoicing such as
christenings, weddings, betrothals or
anniversary celebrations. At a christ
ening which took place last week 5J2
was taken in a collection for war
relief. '
When one stops to thinks, it is re
ally a splendid idea. Without compul
sion we might tax our pleasures, so
that while we still enioy the comfort
and privileges of a land of the free
we may share our pleasure with our
allies across the water whose situa
tion is not so fortunate.
Red Cross Benefit.
Everyone satisfied is the record of
the Red Cross card party which was
given by the auxiliary at Carter Lake
club Wednesday. The total amount
to be turned into the coffers of .the
Red Cross is $130. Over 100 women
attended the luncheon which preced
ed the game and fifty-two tables were
set for bridge and high five.
At bridge Mrs. R. F. Hayden won
first prize and chose a large mirror
with oak frame; Miss Alice Wagner
was second; Mrs. William Anderson
third, and Mrs. Alex Jetes fourth.
Among the high five players Mrs.
A. L. Anderson won first prize, a
dainty silk and lace boudoir cap;
Mrs. W. Haas. Mrs. J. C. Reeder and
Miss Ida McDonald' were the next
prize winners. Thirty-five prizes
were given in the two games.

Economical Preservation of All
. Foods is Problem for Housewives
Conservation is the cry of the day.
We have been urged to plant gardens,
and have done so. But oui duty docs
not stop there. None of the products
of these gardens must be allowed to
go to waite. It is every housekeep
er's patriotic duty to save very bit
of food that would Otherwise be
wasted, and thus help to relieve the
national scarcity of food. By pre
serving vegetables and fruits for use
during the winter when they are
scarce and expensive, we are serving
ur country as well as our families.
Practically -all perishable garden
products may he preserved in some
manner at small expense , .
Of the methods of preserving per
ishable food, canning is 'usually the
most satisfactory, , but when scarcity
or high cost of containers, lack of
storage room or lack. of tin;, make
this method .impractical," drying or
dehydration, as it is called is a most
satisfactory substitute. The United
States Department of Agriculture has
done corsiderable experimenting Jn
this line.
The great secret in canning lies in
complete steriliiation. The cold-pack
method is the easiest and moct satis
factory. It is not necessity to have
a special canning outfit an ordinary
wash boiler or large kettle will do. It
must have a false bottom of some
kjnd, however, for the jars will crack
and break if set directly on the bot
tom of the boiler. This false bottom
may be a piece pf galvanized wire
netting cut to fit, or strips of wood
or willow, or several layerj. of paper.
Vegetables and fruits for canning
should be tresh.y gathered. The room
in which the canning is done should
be swept and dusted, for dust carries
bacteria. . ,
After the jars are filled, place new
rubber rings around the necks and
put on the jar covers loosely. They
must not be clamped or screwed, on
tightly, for the steam must have an
outlet. Place the fajse bottom Jn
the boiler and the'jars on it, not too
close together. Add a few inches of
cold water to the boiler it is not nec
essary have the water come up to
the ti s of the jars just enough to
make steam and to prevent the
cooker fiom going dry. .Place the
boikr over the fire, put on the cover,
bring the water to the boiling point
and boil the required time. At the
end of this time lift the boiler cover
and when the steam 1ms escaped
clamp screw the jar covers on
tightly. Then allow the jars to cool.
Be careful not to expose the hot jars
to draughts of cold air, or they may

' Dried String Beans.
Wash and string the beans care
fully; if very young and tender they
may be dried whole otherwise cut

put them in a cheesecloth bag or wire
basket and blanch them from six to
ten minlites in boiling water. Remove
the surface moisture by placing be
tween two towels or by exposing to
the sun and air for a short time!
Spread them in thin layers on the
trays of the drier. Evaporate from
two to three hours, depending upon
the maturity of the beans, beginning
at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and gradu-'i
ally raising the temperature to 14a
degrees. - j
There are many varieties of driers
which may be used for evaporating
fruits and vegetables. An ordinary !
cook stove oven will do nicely if trays j
are fitted intp it and the cloor left)
open, or a portable oven that sets on
top of the stove is very satisfactory.
Trays with bottoms of one-fourth-
inch galvanized wire mesh may be
made at home. .There are small in
expensive driers on the market for
home use.. A thermometer is neces
sary, so that the temperature may be
regulated accurately. -
All fruits and vegetables for drying
purposermust be absolutely fresh, not
overripe, tender, sound and perfectly
clean. Mothers' Magazine.
Tomatoes.
Use only red, ripe, sound tomatoes
and can them whole or in large pieces.

few seconds, then into cold water, re
move skins and cut out the hard part
around the stem end with a slender
pointed knife. Cut in quarters or pack
whole in sterilized jars. Cover to over
flowing with salted water which has
been boiled and slightly cooled, or
with cooked tomato juice, or with
equal portions of vinegar and salted
water. Adjust rubbers and tops and
