For years it has been used by an army of housewives and that army enlists thousands of recruits every year. : .1 Housewives use Calumet because it produces best results. They judge it by results entirely. Gov ernment experts selected Calumet for this same reason and other reasons too. They looked back of the results. They demanded punty in imKing jrowaer, ana pur- v.iiw lty in bakings, as well as surety of results. -: ; v i They selected Calumet because they, could secure these desirable qualities and were ctrta'm of getting them.

A young Omaha officer now sta tioned at Camp Dodge, who has al ways been an acknowledged woman hater, has succumbed to Cupid's wiles at last, from all appearances. The tell-tale mail sack has given his secret away, for three fat letters come addressed to "Lieutenant So and So" every day. They are not business letters, for surely business men do not send scented missives) and an unmis takable violet odor emanates from these daily epistles. Lieutenant is particularly fortunate. To him is assigned the task of distributing the mail for the officers of his division. I was there when he opened the mail sack, ex- I tncated his own missives but, alas, he had not time to read them while on duty. The soldier in question is of me dium height with blue eyes and a very frank, open countenance.

Michigan College Girls Mend Garments for French War Orphans C6-eds of Western Normal school have inaugurated a clever scheme. The children in the training school connected with Western were asked to bring clothing of all sorts for the trench orphans. When the Old dresses, coats, underwear and horiery they could spare were brought In, many were found lacking a "stitch in time." So one society having many members among the girls, opened their club rooms from 8 to 3 every. day. The co-eds then began to soend all their spare moments in this room, rapidly plying needles to tears and rips and holes, to get the garments in shape to ship. I his same work is quite feasible for the children ot soldiers in our own armies.

Tarbell, Chairman, Publicity Committee. Down in Georgia is Camp Gordon, a cantonment to which many men from the mountain districts have re cently come. A captain stationed there wrote to his mother that many of the yen in his care, mountaineers, were so poorly supplied with warm cloth ing that he wished she would send them some of the articles made by the Red Cross. His mother wrote an appeal to a friend in New Jersey, but the women were so busy getting 5,000 articles in readiness to deliver October 15 that it was impossible for them to do any work for the southern soldiers. There fore, she wrote to Mrs. Joseph La mar, memoer ot the Woman s Com mittee. Mrs. Lamar instantly directed a letter to Mrs. Inman, chairman of the state Division of Georgia, asking tnat she get the work done through whatever state agency she judged most ableat the moment to handle it. This letter was written October 13. October 23 a clipping was received at neadquarters: Whirlwind Work. "An urgent appeal is made by the Atlanta chapter of the American Red Cross for 3,000 woolen sweaters for the soldier boys at Camp Gordon. Mrs. Preston S. Arkwright urges the need of the sweaters for protection against the cold, anil a whirlwind campaign will be started. It is the belief of the chapter that these sweaters can be made and turned n to Camp Gordon in 10 days' time if J tne women will rally to the call and give their service." Thus in 23 days, by the date on which this news letter is . issued, a very urgent emergency need will have been met through the Woman's Committee function of co-ordination. - Alternative Shortenings The last year we have found a great many pastry loving people disap pointed because the cakes, doughnuts, cookies and pies have failed to appear on the table, in both private homes and boarding houses. The . reason given was that they called for lard and butter, which was very expensive and matrons could not afford to fur nish them. TMiose home managers seemed not to realize that those foods need not be dispensed with if they would use some of the alternative shortenings and economy recipes which are avail able for all.

Dr. Har vey W. Wiley did. The doctor con ducts a department in jGood House keeping in which he gives advice on health and kindred subjects. Follow ing is a letter he recently received from a woman reader and his truth ful reply. The lady wrote: "I am one of your most sincere friends who read Good Ho .sekeeping, and I date back to your troubles un der the Taft regime. Now, doctor, please gives us a prescription for a good massage cream that will help Keep on tne wrinkles. Dr. Wiley replied: "I would gladly help anyone who was my friend in the time of trial and persecution, but I do not know of any cold cream that will keep off the wrinkles. If any kind of cream does any goodMt is due to the massage and not to the cream. Proper massage is useful in keeping the skin normal and free of folds. There is no doubt that the women of this country are paying large prices for simple ma terials. The manufacturers have de veloped great skill in mixing the in gredients in a very perfect and agree able manner which could not be done if they were made at home. There are many greater problems before our people at the present ' time than wrinkles and gy hair. One of the blst methods of treating these an noyances is to forget them and turn our attention to things useful to our country, our soldiers and. sailors. If we are busy with this work we are not thinking of either gray hair or wrinkles." Frog Legs Bring in Big Money at Chicago In the marketing of 28.000 dozen frog legs during the past 30 days Dave Harpold and W. R. Smith, of Chicago, have opened a new industry near Long Prairie. Minn. The men have been collecting frogs in the neighborhood of Maple lake, where they dug half a mile of trenches on the lake shore, over which the frogs could not jump, says an exchange. They have received an average of 12 cents a dozen for the crop, shipping mainly to Chicago and New York. ,The national Women's Christian Temperance union expects a record bwaking attendance at its annual convention to be held in Washington next month. By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. A baby's first real efforts are put to a thorough test when he tries to walk alone. He laughs and cries; his eyes dance and he falls. But he is young, knows nothing of despair that romes with defeat, he has courage aplenty and bounces up ignoring the tumble, the lump on his head or the bump on his nose. The most important thing in life for him, just at that moment, is to walk alone. Every tumble gives him more determination. Finally he resents the help of mother or nurse and WALKS ALONE. Cautiously, carefully on smooth ground? Never! Out on the rough roads of life he starts, as soon as his little feet are a wee bit more dependable. He laughs and falls, and he laughs and wins. He takes the tumbles as part of the business of life. i Our Pepless People. Where, then, do our dependents come from? Where do we get our pepless people? When did life produce our social parasites? We see those about us who, at the first sign of trouble, fly to another . for help. There are those who suffer in silence and grow weak. And there are hose whose battles seem easily won because of their courage and determination that same spirit which kept the baby on his 'feet, trying to walk alone, despite his tumbles and fat little soles. We see wives entirely dependent upon their husbands, not only for support but for their ideas, opinions, decisions and enjoyment. They were once courageous babies, tumbling and trying, and tumbling and trying again. Victors GoTt Alone. Experience discouraged them. They had no strength for the battles which we must all fight if we expect to win. I They did not know that life is only hard as we make it hard; that care is burdensome only as we lack strength to carry the load. It is easy enough to carry a heavy load on smooth ground but only the strong can carry it uphill. In the thousands of "hands" being played in the Game of Life, h Is the courageous and strong that win. "Whether the prize be a ribbon or throne, the victor is be who can go it alone," Beloved General at Fort Dodge Praises Alabama Negroes' Splendid Work "The Grand Old Man of Camp Dodge," is the way Major General E. H. Plummer, commandant, is known among the men at the cantonment. Gray-haired, gray-mustached, the grizzled veteran of many years' serv ice for the Stars, and Stripes, is most beloved by the men in his charge. Thoughtfulness and consideration for the men in camp ar.e characteristic of General Plummer, and cleanliness is his hobby, as far as the camp is concerned. His "Man Friday," one Sweeney, who has been in the regular army for many years and has served the general for four years, refused a commission to which he was entitled, preferring to serve the general, to whom he is most faithful. Sweeney's wife also is an attendant in the Plum mer family. The general is no speed king, but he is some sport. Sweeney loves to drive fast, so he tells every one the general will have no slow driving. "If he isn't afraid, I'm not," said the general. General Plummer was at the Isth mus and at Nogales, Ariz. He is ex pecting a call to France for himself at any time. lie spoke in tefms of high praise for the 3,000 Alabama negroes, who had only been in camp several days. "I never imagined they would make so much progress in such a short time. They are coming forward beautifully and will make good soldiers," he said. General Plummer's cousin. Miss Laura Fairfax Plummer, and her mother, are living at Fort Crook at present. 1 might make the trip to Omaha some time next month," the general told The Bee reporter. "Most cor dial invitations which I appreciate, have been eitendded to me." General Plummer was expected in Omaha at the time of the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities, but he was awaiting a call to France shortly and was unable to come. 4 taS" (tWJkiiesa-jiWM
