Municipal Poultry
Farm in England
A municipal poultry farm the first
in England established in Bradford,
England, last May, promises to be a
profitable enterprise, according to a
report of United States Consul Au
gustus E. Ingram. Seventy thousand
eggs per annum are needed to meet
the demand of the medical institutions
maintained by the municipality. The
farm is situated in the ground of the
Bierley Hall sanitorium for consump
tives and has 50 chicken houses built
on the latest approved plans. There
are 800 birds, and it is believed the
production will reach 80,000 eggs per
annum. The farm buildings include
incubators, food stores (where tood

iron chutes to each bin in the mixing
house below), and an egg bouse
where there are nine tanks for the
storage of 23,000 eggs. The preserva
tive used is water glass.

Start Right A Good Breakfast.
"You wouldn't start on an auto trip
without gasoline, would you?" said
doctor to me once. "Then why start
vour body on a day's journey with
out food, which is the body's fuel and
power?"
I he argument seems a sound one
and ought to strike home to the peo
ple, especially young people, who
"can't spare the time" in the morning
to eat I suppose there are very few
of us who do not want that last
precious five minutes in bed; still
those five minutes devoted to break
fast are a better investment for per
manent health. It is undoubtedly
wiser not to cram down much food if
one is hurried, but even a lone glass
of milk is a fairly good start for the
New Bulletin.
The Department of Agriculture has
recently published a little pamphlet of
the same title as this article. The
government is basing its conservation
information strictly on the best
knowledge of nutrition available at
the present time; and this little sheet
gives excellent advice. It says;
irrui cereal. juuk.

of foods the government asks us to
eat.
It goes on to tell why each of these
foods is so worthwhile in the diet.
The arguments for fruit are familiar;
but thev cannot be expressed too
often. Either fresh or dried fruit will
answer the purpose, with the prefer
ence for fresh fruit when it is avail
able. The suggestion is made that
the fruit may be combined with the
cereal either during the cooking or
serving. The dried fruits, raisins,
dates and figs, lend themselves par
ticularly well to combination with
cooked cereals. The fruit should be
added during the last few minutes of
cooking.
Use of Cereals.
We are urged to use the old-fash
ioned cereals, the standbys of oat
meal and cornmeal. Too many people
put a cereal on the stove, then take
it off again, and consider it cooked.
Even the cereals advertised to cook
in a few minutes are usually improved
by long slow cooking, which makes
them more digestible. 'Neither eorn
meal nor oatmeal are really edible if

cooked less than 45 minutes. A good
cereal is one that is prepared so that
it is perfectly smooth. This freedom
from lumps is only possible if one
has the water reauy oouing ana scat
ters th rpreal in sa slowlv that the
grains are separated the minute they
strike the water, ine aouDie oouer
or fireless cooker are the only good

to-eat cereals are satisfactory if one

the usual 12 or IS cents, but the

little as five ounces in the case 01 one

XullK.
Th value nf milk is also pointed
out, and the absolute necessity of in
cluding it in the diet of children. If
thu time ever rnmei when all children
will drink milk freely as a matter of
course, we will have Detter promise
of a healthful citizenship. No chili
ever ought to be given tea or coffee,
even a small amount to flavor tne
milk." Better for boy or girl to drink
plain cold water than a hot beverage,
if milk, cocoa or cereal cortee is re
fused. '
The government bulletin does not
include any discussion of bread or
special hot dishes. Though we can
get sufficient nourishment from the
three foods mentioned, most of us
want at least toast in addition. Hot
breads are tempting but take the
housewife's time to prepare them and
the energy of the whole family to
digest them. They should be the ex
ception and not the rule.
Breakfast Eggs.
As spring approaches, on the calen
dar at least, we can begin to think
of eggs for breakfast again. For we
can always hope that some prices
will go down when the mild weather
comes. At the present time it is pos
sible to "stretch" the eggs that we
use for an occasional Sunday break
fast. Scrambled eggs can be eked out

California Citrus Fruit
Finds Good Market Here
The approach of spring nearer and
nearer every day is reflected in the
vegetable and fruit market of Omaha.
Some of the finest early spring green
vegetables have arrived on the mar
ket. Some of the biggest and crisp
est head lettuce ever seen here is now
on hand. It comes from California
and is known as "iceberg." The heads
are as large as small cabbages.
There is also plenty of the ordinary
earden variety of leaf lettuce and
radishes and excellent green onions.
In this list belongs also cauliflower,
which is of the first quality, though it
costs about twice as much as sugar.
There are a few tomatoes here also at
30 cents a pound.
Rhubarb, home grown under the
protection of glass, is rather plentiful
at 10 to IS cents a bunch. It is con
sidered among the best of wholesome
spring vegetables.
Individual Brussels sprouts are here,
so called because they are of such
size that one is enough for an indi
vidual. Cabbage continues of excellent, solid
quality.
Strawberries may be . had if folks
want to pay 65 cents for a box.
Apples of many kinds and all per
fect specimens, the products of the
Pacific northwest, are on hand as
plentifully as ever, selling from $2 to
$4 a box of a bushel.
Oranges also in numerous sizes
are from 30 cents to 60 cents a dozen.
And grapefruit is also extra fine and
juicy now.
Figs and datesboth in bulk and in
various packages are abundant,
though not a pound has been import
ed this year. All come from Califor
nia. Potatoes continue at the old prices.
A few stores offer only the "western"
potatoes, which seem to differ in no
particular from Nebraska potatoes ex
cept that the storekeeper can get
higher prices for them.
in many ways Plain scrambled eggs
served on toast slices make a brave
showing; and the eggs can me mixed
with bread crumbs and milk before
scrambling. About two tablespoons of
crumbs and one tablespoon ot milk
mav be used for each egg. An at

hot rice with scrambled eggs arranged

Belgian Women Forced
To Labor for Germany
The correspondent of the Times at
Amsterdam writes:
"At Blankenberghe the Germans
foreed a great number of servants to
leave their situations and tritd to com
pel them to take up the work of
unloading, docking and transporta
tion for the army. The young girls
refused and were shut up in the Ho
tel Belvedere, which serves as a pris
on. Most of them persisted in their
refusal and were liberated; they were
requisitioned again and sent to dif
ferent places, even to the wall of the
port of Zeebrugge, in order to work
there for the Germans. Daughters
of farmers and the bourgeoise jfrom
the surrounding country have also
been requisitioned.
"The military authority does not
spare even the disabled and ill. The
Telegraaf correspondent on the fron
tier reports that a disabled man who
happened to remark that he had only
one leg was told that there was work
that he could do with his hands. A
one-armed man was told: 'We will
give you a one-armed comrade and
the two of you can do one man's
work.'
"The communal school at Dudzeele
has been transformed into a penal
colony. The building is surrounded
with barbed wire, like a prisoner's
camp. The chateau near Bruges is
also employed as a penal colony."
The Rheinische Westfalische Zei
tung recently contained a communi
cation emanating from the Labor
Exchange of Cologne, which said in
part:
"Industry meets with more and
more difficulty in procuring artisans,
difficulties that can be remedied only
insofar as the supply of labor per
mits. The central intelligence office
for manual labor asked at once that
foreign artisans should be called on
for aid. These artisans will not be
able to replace entirely the German
workmen, to say nothing of their de
mands in respect to wages, which are
very often in inverse ratio to their
capacities. Experience, moreover, has
still to teach us whether the employ
ment of women from the occupied
territories will be of advantage for
the munition industries.' Tuc demand

A War Time Diet
The public has been told a great
deal about what to save in war
time, but clearly the amount each
family should save depends on
what its dietary was "before the
war. Some may have been wasting
lavishly without knowing, some
may have been living wisely and
economically always. All should
make some readjustments to meet
the special needs of our army in
France and of our allies.
The Department of Public
Health of the American Museum
of Natural History has therefore
prepared a marketing list to show
what food an average family of
five (two adults and three chil
dren) living on an income of
$1,500 a year should buy in a week.
The list of food supplies below
will insure a well balanced and
healthful diet at a low cost and
will provide for observance of all
the special savings urged by the
United States food administration.
Check up your own weekly pur
chases by this standard and see f
you are buying food intelligently
and patriotically.
