iHE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1917. It Ella Fleishman, Ebm EJiiei hv IsmaH Gross HOUSEHOLD ARTS ZtBPT CfT?AL JfGHJCJfOOZ Canned Peas. The great favorite of canned vege i i . a uoies in trie American nome is canned peas. Peas "ga so well" with almost any kind of meat or fish that we are apt to overwork them. This year, however, the factor of price ( titers in, to check our free use of the vegetable unless we were industrious enough last summer to stock our helves with the home canned article. Food Value of Peas. The special value of canned peas, s of all green vegetables, is their bulk and their mineral matter, both of which aid in keeping our bodies in n'ood condition. Their value in terms of the energy they furnish to the body is not very great, only about 250 units to the pound, while the dried or split peas furnish about 1.600 units to the pound. As far as body build ing is concerned, the green canned peas are not a great deal more valu able than many other fresh vege tables. In this function, also, they are far outranked by dried peas. It must l.e remembered, though that when dried peas are cooked, they contain much imore water; hence not so much food value as the original figures would indicate. To Freshen Canned Peas. To freshen any canned food, let it stand in the open air (covered with a cloth ) for several hours. During ihis standing, the food should be stirred occasionally. The object is to let fresh air get into the food. If one wishes to sacrifice valuable food material, the original liquid may be poured off, the vegetable washed re peatedly in cold water, then heated in a small amount of fresh water. Just heating in the original liquid is a help, also. Uses for Peas. Without doubt, the simplest uses tor vegetables are the best. Nothing is any better than a good vegetable heated with salt, pepper and a little butter or butter substitute. But in a family, sometimes a small quantity of vegetable is left over, and must be combined-with other materials to make it "go around;" or if the family is very small, one can of peas may have to be disguised in several ways before it is all consumed. As remarked above, peas combine with almost any flavor so that they may be added to creamed potatoes, meat, lis!, or other vegetables; or they may be added to soups, stews, gravies or salads. Peas With Bacon. 1 c. peas, drained i thick slices bacon, from their liquid. Salt and pepper. Cut the bacon into cubes, put all ingredients into a skillet, and cook till the bacon is done.

When Milady Goes Shopping From what I hear our dollars will bring home a lot of bacon during the month of January. But do you hear laces calling to you to hurry? : : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. fi HRISTMAS'over and you have no money for shopping? Oh, j es you have! Just wait a minute and see if you haven't when I tell of the wonderful bargains being otTercd at the after-Christmas-salcs. - Spring is coining and large stores, small stores, stores -of every size and kind must clear out for the spring stocks and right l.ere is where Milady Wise makes her perfectly good dol lars work overtime. While strolling through a large store today I priced some laces. Be fore Christmas I remembered going through the same ordeal and found linen lace (and every other kind of lace) from 25 cents a yard up most ly up near $1 and then on up some more. Boiled Down. But alas! How prices do boil down after Christmas, for 1 saw those same laces reduced (some of them) as low as 10 cents a yard. You can't believe it? j Neither could I and to convince myself that it was true I bought some, I took no chance by having it sent, but carried it right along. Nobody stopped me and there were dozens of other women buying at the same counter so I feel perfectly safe in chronicling the good news to friend-readers. There are gold laces, silver laces, cluny laces, linen laces, shadow laces crocket and fillet. Some of it would have cost six times, or even 10 times, as much before Christmas and it will go up again ere long, so, the wist ness basis will go shopping immedi ately and take her pick of the lot for there will be but the leavings the culls in a few days. Hundreds, yes thousands, of other thing are on sale at just such re duced prices and it will pay shoppers to look up and down both aisles for signs. He Made a Mistake. Purchases are made with greater case than they were a week ago but the stores are not forsaken by any means. There seems to be a normal gathering of buyers each day. Everything useful is being rounded up at a great discount and I am told, confidentially (he made the mistake of telling it to a woman) that there are more wonderful bargains being pre pared for the counters in the near future. From what I hear our dollars will bring home lots of bacon during the month of January. Cream Cheese Relish. 1 package lima er plneaple gelatin. S cup cut pimentos.

Red Gross Activities A total of 71,722 individual pieces have been mad. in Omaha and ship ped in Red Cross headquarters. This includes first aid pads, heel and elbow pads, surgical dressings of various de sign, hospital garments including bed shirts, pajamas, operating leggings, bed jackets, bath -obes and operating gowns. Mrs. O. C. Redick, director cf the bureau of auxiliary supplies and formation, is proud of her depart ment's record. Other chapters have turned in a larger total of individual pieces than Omaha, which is ac counted for by the fact that Omaha made a special effcrt in hospital gar ments, and, these pieces being larger, would naturally take longer to make than the simpler dressings. Nearly half of the 71,772 total comprises hospital garments. Over 5,000 dressings, pads and gar ments are on hand at the Baird build ing headquarters waiting for ship ment. Christmas is responsible for the present piling up of supplies. The woman's service department of the Lincoln chapter made a remark able showing in connection with the special order from the central divi sion, which required the immediate shipment a large quantity of surgical dressings. During the period of one week 700 women produced the following: 11.1,400 2x2 surgical sponges. 3,094 12x24 oakum pads. 2,990 8x12 oakum pads. 1,554 12x24 absorbent pads. All of the above has been shipped to Chicago from where they will go abroad without further delay. This was a special order and consequently did not pass through the inspection warehouse at Omaha, as will be the case in the future of all shipments of supplies in this territory. It is the opinion of the state office that no other organization in the United States located in a city the size of Lincoln has produced an equal quantity. . State chapters will probably follow up the work of the Omaha chapter in the "carry-your-packages-home" cam paign, initiated by Mrs. A. L. Reed and Mrs. Wilson Low. Lexington has already asked to purchase the stickers and letters inviting other chapters to carry on the work will be sent soon A meeting of all Red Cross aux iliary chairmen will be held Thurs day at 3 o'clock at the Young Wo men's Christian association. Discus sion of important work of the aux iliaries is scheduled. Nebraska will go well over 300,000 in the state membership drive, ac cording to an estimate of Frank W. Judson, state director. Nebraska's quota was only 264,000. The drive closes December 31. Burt county reports nine out of 18 school districts 100 per cent in membership and the town of Te kamah, 90 per cent. York, Dawson, and Loup counties report in the neighborhood of 35 per cent mem berships. The Pleasant Dale branch secured 470 members or 75 per cent of the population. Bristow is 100 per cent and Albion chapter reports a membership of 4,600 in Bocne county. FmtB Qm Oiglht to Emiow The Young Woman's Christian as sociation is to establish American cafeterias in Russia. One-third of all the students now attending the English medical col leges are women. Among the Louisiana women regis tered for active war work was Mrs. Emily Hyams of Natchitoches, aged 103 years. , It is stated that strong perfumes have power to intoxicate and be numb, and workers in the perfume laboratories are occasionally so much affected as to need medical aid. About 200 oriental women, the most of them either Chinese or Japanese, are said to be studying in the higher schools and colleges of- the United States. Brass ornaments and picture frames should be cleaned by boiling them in strong soapsuds, to which a large lump of soda has been added. Scrub with a brush, pour clear boiling water over them, and wipe dry. Brass ar ticles that can not be boiled may be cleaned by rubbing them with the juice of a boiled onion. The present enrollment of students at the leading American colleges of dentistry indicates that before many years there are likely to be more wo men than men engaged in the dental profession in this country. A white satin blouse can be cleaned at home if it is not too dirty. Spread it right side up on a blanket; have ready some stale bread crumbs mixed with a little powdered magnesia and enough dry washing blue to tint it. Sprinkle this over the blouse and rub it with a clean, soft white muslin Shake well, rub it with a clean cloth, and finally iron on the wrong side to remove creases. The Spice of Variety Variety gives the spice to life and following this adage we have different delightful cohk binations of Ice Cream to give the happy end ing to Sunday dinner.
