On the supposition that one must consider conservation in every food discussion nowadays, I hasten to es tablish the connection between flavor ings and, food conservation. It i really a very close connection, and not a forced one at all. For, as has been emphasized again and again, one meaning of conservation is intelligent substitution; and the problem of sub stitution filings with it new flavors, which must be made as palatable as possible. One of the best ways of in troducing new foods is in combina tion with old and veil-liked ones. tr so well flavored with familiar season ings that the new food.jp instantly liked. . . - . , , . It is an accepted fact, that tb food we like really digests better which fact is the health basis for good flavor food. There is no need to discuss the desirability of good things to eat from the pleasure side. The bi&4oint with flavors is to get enough and the right kind to -stimulate the appetite and aid digestion, without getting the over-seasoning, which has an irritat ing effect on the membranes of the digestive tract. We all know the burning sensation of too much pep perthat same irritation occurs in the stomach and intestines even though we accustom the mouth to very high seasoning. Where can we stop? To know means that you have the real gift of cooking, for it is one thing to cook a thing properly that is a triumph of knowledge; it is an other to produce a perfectly flavored dish that 1s triumph of art. Abso lute rules can never be given; sugges tions and the old-fashioned tasting are the only guides. The Nature of Flavorings. It is well to remember that many of our flavors, the essences and snices. notably, owe their value to volatile oils. A volatile oil, as its name suggests, will evaporate; hence the safe rule is to flavor as late as possible. A baked food must be flavored at the start: almost arfything else can be flavored just when it is done. " Flavorings for Meat, Fish and Vege tables. ( ' The well-known flavorings dis cussed are almost limitless in their possibilities and combinations. I should hesitate to guess the number of different effects possible just with tomato sauce, for example. The addw tion of onion makes it one thing, of celery another, of parsley still an other and of parsley and onion to gether still another. One could go on almost indefinitely. ONION. Do you know that cut or chopped onion gives one result, browned onion another, scraped or grated onion or onion juice a mild, de licious suggestion of onion flavor and onion salt is a convenient commercial preoaration? Onion tops may be used in soups and stews and chives, which are related to the onion family, N can be chopped and used in salads, etc PEPPER. If you stop to think, per.ner is not just plain pepper, but of the ground varieties there are at least four common ones. The black and white pepper are the same botanu ca'ly, but the white pepper is much more attractive for light-colored foods, such as white sauce or mashed potatoes. The whole. pepper berry is good for pickles, etc. The so-called red pepper may be sweet and mud if you use paprika, or very hot if yo i;ct cayenne. The fresh green pep per or the canned pimentoes are very :);)u'ar seasonings just now, In fact, '. c are apt to overwork them if the ;r.ite is once cultivated. PARSLEY heads the list of popu lar garnishes and seasonings. Al most kiiv soup or creamed dish is im proved with the addition of a little finely minced parsley at the last min ute. The fine tlade of the food chop per makes excellent minced parsley if large quantities are needed. For a small quantity the parsley should be held and crushed between the thumb and first finger, therTcut on a board with a sharp knife. Large pieces of parsley and stem are as unappetizing as fine pieces are attractive. CELERY. Celery can be used in several different ways. It may sim ply be cut or chopped finely, or it may be found as celery salad. Celery tops make excellent seasoning, either fresh or dried. I heard of a cheese sandwich recently made of cream cheese flavored with finely minced celery tops and pickle. CHEESE. We have all learned to appreciate grated cheese with maca roni, hominy, etc.; but we are a bit slow to try it with vegetables and fish. Cheese and beans sound heathenish until you try them to gether, then you become a firm con vert to the combination. Escalloped fish with just a bit of cheese between the layers is an excellent dish, whether the fish be halibut, salmon or any other kind. Escalloped cauli flower or cabbage is also improved with the addition of a suggestion of cheese. ACID FLAVORINGS. Tomato and lemon juice are old favorites with any housewife. Almost any fish, vegetable or meat can be combined with tomato to give delicious results. Bean and tomato soup, fish or meat scalloped jn tomato sauce, tomato gravy with beef, meat braised partly in tomato are but a feW of the to mato possibilities. Tomato catsup or chili sauce are tomatoes in slightly different form. Lemon and fish are familiar friends on the table; have you ever put lemon juice into creamed fish or chicken at the last, minute? The tang is good. Another addition to creamed chicken is a spoonful of cooked salad dressing or mayonnaise. A plain beef stew with vegetables comes out with an entirely new flavor if vinegar is added to the water in which the meat is cooked. The flavor should not be strongly acid. I think the dish is then called Russian beef. Chopped pickle in small quantities is a good flavor in dressing, fish dress ing especially. COMMERCIAL SAUCES. .

Newrrtan, president, and Mrj. J. X Stubbs, whom Mrs. Newman succeeded at the recent election of tne Omaha chapter, Needlework Guild of America, the needy families in Omaha will receive clothing, fuel and other necessities during the winter months. Twenty local charitable institutions will benefit by. the annual distribution, this year totalling more than 4,0t)0 articles already donated. What Food Saving Involves Sign, the pjedge and enroll as a member of the United tates Food Administration, and you will be asked to do these things: , Eat plenty, but wisely, and without waste. Buy less; cok no more tfian neces sary; serve Smaller portions. Preach and practice the"gospel of the clean plate." Use local and seasonable supplies; watch out for waste. Whenever posnble, use poultry, game and sea foods in place of beef, mutton and pork. Save wheat by srrbstitujing, in part, cornnieal and other cereal flours for wl'eat flour. Save butter and lard. Use butter on the tabic, but substitute vegetable oils for cooking. tions of flavors, it is possible to buy very choice flavorings under different trad names. Many of thee are ex cellent and not very expensive. How evr, they are not as cheap as home combinations, and must become slightly monotonous unless one has several kinds to choose from. Whether one uses a commercial sauce, or makes her own blends, the .successful cook is the ine who puts together flavors so that the result is a delicious taste in which no oile particular flavor predominates. Oranges Due for Higher Prices Within Few Days Kitchen Kinks For cleaning brass, dissolve on half ounce of alum in one pint of i boiling water. To keep a lamp from smoking, soak the wick in vinegar and dry before using. If cane seats begin sagging, try saturating them with hot water. To take soot from your stovepipes, dry your potato' peelings and then burn them. Wood alcohol will remove putty stains from windows. A tablespoonful of vinegar in a cup of sweet milk will sour it. Do this when making doughnuts or rolls of some kind, for which sour milk is better than sweet milk. Now is the time to lay in a supplyn of oranges. Ihe yellow citrus truit is due for a rise of 10 to 15 cents a dozen within the next 10 days, Re cording to Omaha market men. ' "In California this season they have one-tenth of a crop of oranges," said one man. "This shortage will be felt here within 10 days in a sharp rise in price. The fig crop is also nearly a total failure and figs majr not be, on the market at all very soon. We had our order in last August but have not been able to get de livery of a single fig. None are be ing imported. True, ships come back from Europe in ballast, but they don't want to take the time to load a car go on the other side, because it would delay the ships. Dates and various kinds of nuts will also be scarce." Imported cluster raisins are here at 50 to 75 cents a pound. These aTe the big raisins for eating like grapes. t-. . , j i ie a a n jrotaioes are uown iu jj uu - , rnti a neck. Sweet potatoes selH from n to 5 cents a pound, and Jersey sweet potatoes a little higher. Hubbard squash and vegetable quash and pmnpkins are plentiful. String beans are still on the mar ket. Also head lettuce, leaf lettuce, radishes and green onions. Especially fine at the present time ire turnips, beets, carrots, cabbage and cauliflower. Apples from the west compete with the home grown .kind. Colorado Jonathans at $1.85 to $2 a bushel box are fine. They are a little high er than the homegrown varieties, but market men say they are as a cheap in the long run, because every apple is perfect. Some nice Colorado pears are also here. A few Concord grapes still linger and one store even showed a few baskets of peaches. About Women United States women have given $36,400,000 for Red Cross work. More women are employed in gov ernment positions in England than in any other place in the world. Seattle,-Wash., has a housemaids' union with more than 2,000 members. The policewomen in Cleveland are being encouraged to wear trousers in stead of skirts. Wheatless days and meatless days, Are th topic of the day.
