Mr. Taft Will Have a Buy Day Here
Just how many invitation one man
can accept for one day is the question
in the minds of the Omaha Society of
Fine Arts' committee, which has in
charge arrangements for ex-President
Taft s visit to Omaha October 19.
Mr. Taft is to talk on the war at the
Boyd theater at 4 o'clock, under the
auspices of the Fine Arts' society, but
already the Palimpsest club has Mr.
Taft's acceptance for t dinner in his
honor, and the Commercial club is
arranging a luncheon at which he is
also to speak. '
Both the Yale and McKinley clubs,
the latter made tip of leading repub
licans of the city, have asked the Fine
Arts' women to leave a little time in
which they may entertain Mr. Taft;
cx-Senator Norris Brown and Mrs.
lirown wish to entertain Mr. Taft at
breakfast at the Omaha club and ex
Senator Joseph H. Millard and Miss
Jessie Millard, who were in Washing
ton when Mr. Taft was secretary of
war, expect to meet him again, and if
there is time, arrange something for
him.
, "Mr. Taft arrives early JFriday
morning, October 19, and leaves early
the next morning, so I don't see how
ve can crowd it all in," said one of
the committee members. "But a man 1

School Lunches.
The schools of our large cities and
some rural schools are helping to solve
the problem of the lunch away from
home for the school pi and boy. In
many places attractive and nourish
ing food is provided at very nominal
cost, often less cost than for the same
qualify and amount of food brought
from home. It is true, however, that
some foods can be brought more
cheaply from horne, notably sand-
cost of preparation. Also, some boys I J, hnr aITJ' ! 2200

lunch, we find that a boy should get
about 900 calories at lunch, a girl 800.

Nebraska Red Cross Makes
Big Gain in Membership
The Red Cross now has 170.000
members in the state of Nebraska.
No state in the union has made a
more patriotic showing in behalf of
the Red Cross. Fully IS per cent of
the population of the state is repre
sented in the membership of this or
ganization. -
According to local officials this is
a larger membership, population con
sidered, than any state in the union.
Three months ago Nebraska first
started art active campaign for mem
berships, being one of the last states
to perfect an organization. At the
beginning of the campaign there were
but 2,712 active members.
Daily News Must Pay
$10,000 Libel Verdict
1 The state supreme court has de-

on the appeal of the $10,000 verdict
in favor of Judge Estelle of Omaha,
returned by a jury in district court at
Fremont. Judge Estelle sued the
Daily News for libel about five years
agO.
The first jury to hear the case at
Fremont returned a verdict of $25,000
in favor of Judge Estelle. This ver
dict later was reversed on the ground
that it was an excessive amount. '
The second trial resulted in a $10,
000 verdict, which the supreme court
has just held not to be excessive.
Slackers To Go to Training

arrested for failure to register have
to join the first draft of the selected
army, if they pass the physical tests.

is a real and ever present one.
In planning a school lunch, many
elements must be considered. With
the girl, especially, the attractiveness
is a big issue. ;
With any child, variety and nutri
tive value are important A neatly
packed luftch means oil paper, a paper
nankin, a collapsible lunch box, or
fresh brown wrapping paper. I heard
a very scornful characterization the
other day: "She' a girl who brings
her luncn wrapped in newspaper." I
suppose it is true that we instinctively
feel the lack of daintiness in any one
who will wrap food in a newspaper.
A lunch box nsures uncrushed food,
but the trouble of carrying it back
empty brings it into disfavor. Better
than plain brown paper is a clean pa
per bag, and it is possible to buy pa
per bags by the package. A grocer
would accommodate a customer and
secure bags for her.
Variety in lunches U a difficult prob
lem. There must always be sand
wiches, fruit and a sweet; the only
solution :s to make different combi
nations withia these narrow limits.
With a lunch box softer food is possi
ble; for example a baked custard, or
some other kind of pudding, or baked
beans. If the bo or girl objects to
carrying back a china container, it is
possible to buy paraffin paper holders
for such food, and a wooden picnic
spoon can be included. Varietv in
sandwiches is gained by using differ
ent kinds of bread white, graham,
rye, nut, raisin, and brown, and even
biscuit from dinner the night before.
Lettuce in sandwii hes always adds to
the appearance. andwicncs can be
cut in a vaiiety of ways besides the
usual straight cut across loaf. We
are all familiar with the traingular
cut, and the long finger-like sand
wiches are easily made and handled,
with no waste in the cutting. Variety
in fruit is an eas) matter at this time
of year; but later, when the market
is less bountiful, it is well to remem
ber the dried jfruit. A small bunch
of raisins, a few dates or even stuffed
prunes, provide much the same needed
food value that the fresh fruit does.
The piece of cake or. cookie can be
varied in kind, or it mav be omitted
and its place filled by a piece of sweet
chocolate, a popcorn ball, or some
candy. Especially this year, when
young and old are asked to conserve
on sugar, the craving for candy could
well be satisfied by providing candy
as a part of a regular meal.
Food Value of the School Lunch.
It is probably easier to regulate
quantity of food to be eaten in a
packed lunch than it is at a meal eaten
at a table. The normal healthy boy
or girl is apt to "eat up" what is pro:
vided, though that amount is gov
erned by such comments as "I'd like
another sandwich tomorrow. I'm
pretty hungry at noon;" or "I gave
Mary one of my sandwiches today, I
don't get very hungry usually,' It is
worth knowing as nearly as possible
what should be provided and then
compare actual amounts with theoret
ical amounts.. Some years ago I found
a list of attractive plans tor school
lunches, which I have had my
students work out in actual food.
Without exception, my 'classes have
rejected those plans as too small in
quantity, and a little computation has
proved those plans too light in cal
ories or food units. The average high

The figures are so indefinite that the
only help they give us is to realize
that two sandwiches, one piece of
fruit and two cookies or one fairly
large piece of cake are somewhere
near the average boy or girl's require
ment. Three sandwiches seem un
necessary when cake is provided and
two pieces of fruit (unless small) are
also unnecessary. More than two or
three small cookies or one piece of
cake would bring the average lunch
too high.
The importance of fruits in the
lunch should not be overlooked. It
provides the necessary balance to an
otherwise dry and fairly -.oncentrated
meal.

Toothsome Ways of
Cooking Corn
At the request of the New York
Woild, N. A. L. Lattard, maitre d
hotel' of the Hotel Plaza, has invented
six new corn dishes, the recipes of
which are given here for the first
time. Lattard, who is one of the most
celebrated chefs in America, is very
much interested in making corn
dishes popular and thus aiding the
work of Food Commissioner Hoover.
He has suggested the establishment
ot an experimental kitchen to investi
gate new ways of .using corn, and
pending its establishment he is "doing
his bit" by experimenting himself.
The new recipes given here are de
signed especially for home use. They
do not call for any extravagant out
lay or any implements not found in
an ordinarily equipped kitchen. In
fact, they are essentially "war time"
recipes. You will find them all eco
nomical and delicious. Learn to use
more corn yourself.
Baked Corn and Pork. Take a
pound of com prepared as sarop, only
in half grain - instead of quarters.
Place this in cool water and leave
soak over night In the morning
change the water. Place over the
range and let cook. Have ready at
hand a brown eaithern pot or deep
vessel. Throw this corn into the pot,
add two tablespoonfuls of good New
Orleans molasses, one tablespoonful
sauce of the Worcestershire type, a
coffee spoonful of dry English mus
tard; when thoroughly stirred mois
ten with white stock. Take a nice
piece of parboiled pork about one -hall
to three-quarters of a pound, place it
in the center partly exposed and bake
slowly for two or three hours.
Corn Soup. Into a pot place a ham
bone or a piece of pork; pour over il
a can of corn, dilute with milk to the
desired point and let boil together;
season to taste. When done, this
soup can be strained or served as it
is. Serve with it small dice of fried
bread. v
Stuffing. If you have any boiltJ
hominy-left from the morning, let it
cool. Wrhen cold mix with it ham
pounded in a mortar made into- a
paste, or deviled ham; season to taste
This can be used as a stuffing, for
chicken, guinea hen, squab, fresh ham.

Soliloquy of Modern Eve
Lost: A Friend
By ADELAIDE KENNERLV.
Out of my life goes a friend. I
take the passing lightly as a fleet
ing moment, never thinking of her
worth, never feeling for a-single
moment what she meant to me. .
The whirligig of life keeps up its
endless chain of nothings and my
brain dances round in pursuit of
things less worthy than a friend.
It was my carelessness that hurt
"Suddenly she found herself out
side the pale of my deeper feelings,
discovered that she was as much,
and no more, than many others
who should have meant nothing
to me.
Through all her days of devotion
her love had come to naught It
was as a bit of nestling pollen
blown upon the hardest rock.
She brought me happy days.
She brought me gladness when
life seemed to hold nothing but
sadness.
All this I accepted without emo
tion, without devotion or sincere
appreciation.
Ah I I did not understand, until
it was too late, that she meant
more to me than all others the
fair weather friends and now I
grieve for her when it is too late.
Without uch a friend there is a
space which cannot be filled.
There is a maddening hollow
which only the lonely at heart can
feel.
My friend is near me. I stft her
each day, but the love is dead and
cannot be fanned into life.
The great unseen somethins
within het made life worth living;
it called into play all the wild little
emotions, sending joy rays into my
sad heart to cheer me when weak
and weary. And I accepted them,
even expected her, to be my com
forter. "I lost a day because I grieved?
Perhapj.
But it only - made tomorrow the
sweeter by contrast.
If I grieved, who knows but
that was the awakening of a sleep
ing soul or a slumbering part
thereof? Such grief is short.
But I grieve today because I
have lost my most valuable posses
sion that which can never be re
placed I have lost a friend.
