OFF.) Elifcl iy IrmaH Gross HOUSEHOLD ARTS SEPT CSTfTltAL HIGH SCHOOL So much time and energy is wasted in futile efforts to clean pots and ket ties that would lend themselves eas ilv to the right sort of treatment. If one would only remember that cer ain substances are soluble in plain cold water, others in plain hot water, and still others require hot soap .or soda solutions. Cold Water Dishes that have con tained milk, eggs, raw meat or fish, or starchy mixtures are best rinsed in clear, cold water. After this pre liminary rinsing ordinary dishwash ing methods should be followed. Hot Water Any dish containing sugary mixtures may be washed in cold water, but comes clean easier if rinsed in hot water. Hot Soap or Soda Solution The greasy pots and kettles should be washed in washing soda solution, un less the kettle is of aluminum, in which case only soap suds can be used. The soda combines with the grease to form soap, so that the grease acts as part of the cleanser. The soda solution should be boiled in the greasy pan. Cold Water and, Soda If any kind of kettle except an aluminum one has been burnt, it should be filled with cold water to which washing soda has been added. Then if this water is brought to a slow boil, the burnt spot will usually yield. In cases of bad burned spots, it is sometimes neces sary to repeat the soda treatment and use a scouring powder in addi tion. Aids in Cleaning Pots and Pans. In spite of using the right tempera ture and kind of solution, k is fre quently necessary to wash the kettle rather vigorously before it will yield a clean surface. A tinsel dish cloth is worth using for such purposes, or a special metal dish scraper. A knife should never be used except as a last resort,, for it is apt to break the enamel of enamel dishes and spoil the smooth surface of an iron or aluminum utensil. For scouring with powder a cork is a handy device be cause its edge gets into the corners rather well. City-Bred People. The present generation of city-bred people who have never worked much with soft water cannot realize how much easier dishwashing is with such water. Since it is impossible for most of us in Omaha to have naturally soft water, the next best thing to do is to soften the water with any special powder. Whether soft water is used or not, it is a time saver in the end to make good suds with a soap shaker before beginning operations. The soap shaker not only makes better suds but it also utilizes all the odds and ends of soap. It would seem almost fool ish to talk about such a tried and true device as a soap shaker if I had not HEAT "3 How do you like the meat and grocery department in McCrory's 5c and 10c store?

One revolutionary housewife sug gests washing pots and kettles before any of the china and glassware. If one has unlimited hot water, as most of us have in cold weather, the idea is a pretty good one, for it means doing the hardest job first. But where the water supply is not so plen tiful, of course, it is impossible to do the worst part of the washing at the beginning. The best plan of all is to wash up the cooking utensils as one goes, or at least to soak each pot and pan as soon as its contents are emptied. To remove brown stains from enamel dishes the suggestion comes to use a little chloride of lime. It is supposed to work like magic. Special Care of Aluminum Ware. . Two reasons make aluminum ware a special problem in the kitchen. One cannot use soda in washing it nor can one use a gritty powder for fear of spoiling the smoothness of the surface. Most kitchen washing pow ders, however, are suitable for use with aluminum. If an aluminum ket tle is grea,sy it should be cleaned with hot soap suds. If it becomes burned it should be soaked in hot water, then scraped with a wooden spoon or clothespin, then cleaned with a scouring powder. If the utensil is covered with burned grease or be comes dark use four tablespoons ox alic acid crystals to one gallon of wa ter. Boil five minutes or let the cold oxalic solution stand in the kettle oveV night. Wash with clean hot wa ter and soap. What is Being Done by the State Food Administration "Save a pound of waste fats in your kitchen and trade it for a cake of soap at your grocer's," is an idea being published throughout Oregon by W. B. Ayer, federal food admin istrator for that state. To organize the trade machinery behind this idea Mr. Ayer called sev eral Oregon soap manufacturers into a conference with expert chemists and officials having in charge the collec tion and disposal of garbage and the dean of home economics at the Ore gon Agricultural college. ' The soap business was studied with relation to waste from the family kitchens and arrangements made for concentrating home savings of fat at grocery stores to be turned over to the soap makers. The cake of soap given in exchange for the pound of fat will be of vari ous brands, all made in Oregon, the white to weigh eight ounces, and the brown 10 ounces. The fat delivered by the housewives must be dried out, strained and freeirom rinds and other solids and delivered to the grocer in a tin can. The organization is state wide and retail grocers work under instructions from the soap manufac turers. If housewives prefer they may dispose of their higher grade fats for cash. o. 1 Skinned Hams, half or whole per lb., at ....26c Compound Lard, per lb. ........... .25c Pure Lard, per lb ...30c Large Jars Mince Meat, per Jar...... 25c Large Jars Queen Olives, per jar.... 25c Regular 85c Coffee, per lb 28c Etra Fancy Leaf Lettuce, S bunches, 10c Good Oleomargarine, per lb ..25c All Brands Creamery Butter, lb 50c Extra Fancy Head Rice, lb 9 Vic Hand Picked Navy Beans, per lb.... 15c Bulk Oatmeal, 4 lbs 25c 4WD , mmy ' rxes awoalc wtsr Lo i i mi tti rrrrn m jr TQNg CiriARKZiT mKs TEL.TYLXR 470 The Bunch That Gets Personality Over By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. "What you are speaks so loud I can not hear what you say." Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote tliat and it deals a vital blow to the school of conversational bluff! Clearly and simply it informs whom it may con cern that "you cannot fool all of the people all of the timel" Appearance is made up externally of clothes. But manners and mental habit determine "looks;" it is they give a thoughtful man a basis, on which to judge. Little unconscious traits, together with big characteristics, do much to govern appearance. When eyes look straight and unwaveringly into yours, you may find boldness in the stare but you find honesty too. Warm friendly directness of nature generally shows in the expression of the eyes as does cold calculation. Don't shuffle about your work as if BELGIAN VIOLINIST GIVES CONCERT TONIGHT JULES FALK.

William Williams hated nicknames. He used to say that most fine given names were ruined by abbreviations, which was a sin and a shame. "I, myself," he said, "am one of six brothers. Wo were all given good, old-fashioned christian names, but all those names were shortened into meaning less or feeble monosyllables by our friends. I shall name my children so that It will be impracticable to curtail their names." The Williams family, in the course of time, was blessed with five children, all boys. The eldest was named after the father William. Of course, that would ba shortened to "Will" or enfeebled to "Wil lie" but wait! A second son came and was christened Willard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr. Williams. "Now everybody will have to speak the full names of each of these boys In order to distinguish them.'' In pursuance of this scheme the next three sons were named Wilbert, Wilfred and Wll- mont. They are all big boys now. And they are respectively known to their intimates as Bill, Skinny, Butch, Chunk and Kid. Cleveland Plain Dealer. New Use for Motorist. As the motor car dashed through a little village the driver pulled up with a frantic Jerk. A man was standing right in front of his machine waving his arms violently and shouting: "Stop! Hi! Stop!" "What's the trouble?" snapped the mo torist "Is it a police trap? Because, If It Is, I wasn't driving more than 20 miles an hour " "That's all right, sir," said the country man, blandly.

A Campaign for Better Beginning April 6, a nation-wide campaign to improve the health of American babies will be started by the children's bureau and the wo man's committee of the Council of National Defense. Under the direc tion of Dr. Jessica Peixotto of the University of California, who is on leave of absence from the university for the purpose of taking charge of this work, the women of every state will be organized into child welfare committees dedicated to the conser vation of infants. The Avholesale weighing of babies will be the first step in this campaign, and in this the co-operation of par ents is requested. A survey must be made of our infant resources such as was recently undertaken by the De partment of Agriculture in regard to food. For, like food, our infant re sources may also be rated in pounds. Weight, in other words, is a definite index to a child's health. If an infant a year old, for example, you were a sneakthief. Walk upright. Good carriage gives lungs and digest ive organs a fair chance. In a little cafe in uptown New York there are two maids. Everyone wants Marian. Everyone tries to avoid Helen. Why? Helen "sneaks" up apologetically, giving the impression that the fish is not fresh and the steak unfit to serve. Her manner is weary, bored. No one feels that she will make an effort to get him the rarest tid-biti from a possibly surly chef. She is flat-chested suggests ill-health and makes the nervous customer wonder what germ she has to distribute. Marian has a springy step, an alert manner, a wholesome but homely face. Marian has a temper and is not exactly sweet and lovable, but she has the "trade" and Helen drives it away. The voice, the handclasp, the con versational tendencies of an individ ual help others judge her. If you give your hand, do it as if you meant it offer yourself, a live, vital person, with your hand don't flop out a dead fish. The flabby, in definite, indifferent greeting suggests a nature to match. The voice attracts or repels accord ing as it is pleasant, well placed, low and free from droning or rasping. A pleasant voice can be cultivated. The wonderful, golden voice of Julia Mar lowe did not grow by the grace of some good fairy. It came from sing ing lessons earnest lessons in breathing and voice-placement exer cise work. Look to the tone and quality of your voice. Mabel and then look deeper. What do you say in your lovely, low.f refined tones? "I seen him when he done it? Gee, lie's some boy!" Poor grammar and cheap slang alike contribute to make in correct English. Our language is not a giddy fad to change from day to day it is a fixed institution. Choose your words carefully and still more carefully select the topics they express. And that carries you to first principles right habits of thinking. Think about worth-while things. Express yourself simply and well and remember that the other party to any conversation would like to do at least half of the conversing. Did you say you were "scared to death" at the thought of applying for a new position or even of speak ing to the head of your firm? Ah I That was before you knew how to make your appearance, man ners and thoughts themselves speak for you in your well-modulated voice!

War Bread Recipes Miss Nellie Farnsworth, local rep resentative of the food administra-. tion, who is giving a series of food talks for patriotic housekeepers on Saturday afternoons, announces that tomorrow she will change the order of her talks and give one on "Cereals for Bread Making" and recipes will be given for various cereal combinations for war breads. Inasmuch as this part of the food program is the most difficult to meet, housekeepers will welcome this timely assistance with war bread recipes. The lectures are free and are given in the rooms of the Van Sant School of Business, second floor Omaha Na tional bank building. Any house keeper is welcome or she may send someone to take notes and copy the recipes for this or subsequent lec tures, 10 in number. The hour is from 3 to 4 on Saturday afternoons.
