There's a Limit!" Say Men.
A revolt worse titan Korniloff's
against Premier Kerensky or the anti
draft demonstrations, lias come to
Mellificia's notice. It is a deep-dyed
revolt of all of the men of the land
against the extreme food conserva
tion efforts of the women of the
country.
"Everything in the shape of a cup,
glass, jar or vase in our house my
wife has confiscated for jelly, jam,
canned fruit and dried vegetable con
tainers," reported one irate husband.
"What I want to know is: Would it
be considered a breach of etiquette to
drink tea or coffee out of a saucer
or water out of the faucet when
there isn't anything else in the house
to drink out of?"
"My wife just smiles she's as com
municative as a sphinx on the sub
ject," he added ruefully.
Mell put it to a vote of the men in
the office. "Go to it!" was the con
sensus of opinion.
"It will save breakage of cups,"
suggested one ultra-ultra conserva
tionist. But I must not forget, in the mean
time, to tell you of an inter
esting engagement soon to be an
nounced. Both young people are very
popular in the Happy Hollow club
set. Indeed, the romance might have
developed at the pretty club house.
"She" is one of Mrs. W. W. Hoag
land's mainstays on the Emma Hoag
land Flower mission and she has a
sister who is a talented musician.
"He" plays a gogd game of golf. It's
a very, very pretty ring she is wearing.

The Immediate Step in
Food Conservation
When people woke up last spring
to the great need of our country and
oar allies for food, the first step was
the planting of innumerable war gar
dens. I was much impressed this summer-in
my wanderings by the size
and flourishing conditions of gar
dens wherever I turned. Many of
the amateurs, we must admit, met the
fate of some beginners in any line of
work the fate of partial or total fail
ure. But. most of the gardeners did
not meet that fate and we have more
garden produce than Omaha has
known in many a year.
With the summer came the early
maturing garden stuff, and then the
housewife seized eagerly upon the
cold pack canning method. We "cold
packed" the young greens, the aspara
gus, the peas, and the other vege
tables in season. I know that Omaha
cellars are filled as they never have
been before with home-canned foods.
I know that we are still "cold pack
ing" the fall fruits and vegetables and
shall for some time to come. Yet
right now some of our gardens are
turning- out more material than we
can conveniently handle by the can
ning process and not a particle of that
produce should go to waste. It is so
hard to realize in our prosperous mid
dle western communities that every
particle- of food is precious for the
life af our nation. We earnestly hope
that we may not feci the pinch that
some of the warring nations have ex
perienced, but we dare not run the
risk of being prodigal with anything
edible.
Back to Grandmother's Day.
In our need for easy and cheap
rncthods of preserving food we have
returned to the methods of our grand
mothers, the drying and the pickling.
Drying as a method has much to rec
ommend it, as we have been informed
many times this past season. The
process is very inexpensive, the prod
uct keeps indefinitely, and requires
only a small space and inexpensive
Grocers and Butchers

enjoy their second annual picnic.
J. J. Cameron, E. E. Wise, V. F.

o
containers for storage. The new elec
tric fan method is very good, but the
old-fashioned sun drying and oven
drying are worth using it one has no
electric fan and cannot reach a mu
nicipal drying plant conveniently.
The pickling processes are also
very easy to follow, but the resulting
products are not so nutritious as the
dried foods. In the drying nothing
is lost, but in the pickling some of
the mineral matter dissolves out into
the brine. Since the vegetable is not
cooked in the brine, this mineral mat
ter is lost. In spite of this disad
vantage, pickling is worth while
carrying out rather than not conserv
ing the material at hand.
Formulas Adopted in Omaha.
To save every possible amount of
garden truck, the food conservation
committee of Omaha is urging the
drying and pickling of all fruits and
vegetables which might otherwise not
be saved. At a committee meeting
at the city hall a group of people, in
cluding Mrs. Rose Ohaus of the City
Welfare board. Mrs. A. C. Anderson
of the Woman Voters' league, Mrs.
Harriet MacMurphy of the World
Herald, Miss Lucy Harte of the Daily
News and myself, representing The
Bee, simplified and standardized cer
tain directions offered by the govern
ment. These formulas are to be
spread broadcast through Omaha and
the vicinity, that every one may have
available directions for conserving his
garden stuff. The formulas are as
follows:
To Dry Apples.
1. Pare, core and cut into eighths.
2. Dip into cold salt water (one
tablespoonful salt to one gallon of
water).
3. Drain and dry between towels.
4. Spread thinly on trays, platters,
screening or cloth raised off the
ground.
5. Cover with thin cloth and dry in
sun and air or oven, or over the
kitchen stove, or before an electric
fan, or in a neighborhood drying
plant.
6. Stir often and dry till tough and
Icatlfery.

We Have Been Told That We Are Showing
The Smartest Women's Suits In Town
It is a fact that our customers are noticeably enthusiastic , in
their praise of our line of suits this season. It is verj grati
fying to us, yet frankly, it is what we expected for we 'we're
more than exacting when we bought them.
For almost two years past, there had really been but slight
change in suit styles; they were getting to show a tiresome
"sameness," and we knew if women were to be induced to
buy suits this fall we would have to show them styles that
were new, ' different and becoming.
There isn't a suit in our shop that could be called "staple"
or "commonplace." Even our strictly tailored suit$ have a
snap, a something different, that distinguishes them from
the run of suits seen around town.
We have a line of suits for misses and small women that is
wonderful nothing less. They have a youthful charm and
snap that the man who made them is famous for. And we
have suits with just as smart style, for the matron, only with
lines more becoming to her figure.
Come in and see these suits; they range in price, frofil $25.00
up and they're wonderful. .
