Many people hare an idea that many thousands of I men have been blinded, but Miss Fra I - er said that during the whole dura I tion of the war only 300 men had 1 ,, ' been made totally blind. Mist Fraser talked at length about '. the heroic work the "Canaries" are 4 , .jdolng in England. These girls, who 5 V" handle the high explosives, are not f snly in constant danger but in time t'l": their faces, hands and hair turn yel- I 7' Mow." When asked why they chose II hi very dangerous work the girls I " always reply that it is a small thing " n comparison to the danger the boys f - o the trenches are facing every day. ' ' It is the older women in England 1 " ho do the knitting. The younger ! anes do the more active war work. ' Mter the first winter it is not neces- iary to knit so constantly, according trt Vm Fraser. If a soldier has a knitted outfit he will not need another vtry soon. . The wonderful part the English women are taking in the war was brought out in a very clear way by Miss Fraser. When we stop to think that a million and a quarter of the women in England are taking men s places it is a little staggering. There is hardly a line of work that they are not doing, even to shipbuilding. To be idle is a positive disgrace and when the victory is won a large share of the glory will be credited to the women who have fought in the trenches at home. B'nal B'rith Meeting. Mrs. Marie Leff Caldwell, head resident of the Social Settlement, will be the speaker at the joint program of B'nai B'rith lodge and ita wo man's auxiliary Thursday evening m Lyric building.

A ' I t IS f 1 i A Blouse That's Really New :1Y gCOOF By ADELAIDE KENNERLY Cod looked through His book at dawn one day And read an assignment there. He glanced around 'twas early in May And lo, I stood waiting near. "To Earth," quoth He, "where big stories break! , This assignment I give to you. Be gone I Don't drift in a laggard's wake Heed not what other folks do." I took my cue from that wiser hand Of a worthy Editor-chief, And started out with a mongrel band Of divers mind and queer belief. , Each had a different story to write For the Journal of Life's front page. How many, I sigh, will lose their fight! From Cub to Star yes, even the sage. - When God calls "30" I shall be there With my copy clean for the press, Else I'll be scooped. Decisions are fair My chance is the average, I guess. Just give me a laugh, a lark, a thrill, A pause, where perfumed jasmines are; A song, a sigh and a dreaming spell A pain, a sob, a tragic hour. It is then I can write my story In full my scooo my final test. Life's suffering, ks sin and its glory. The theme its pathos and its jest. Our rules? '"Honesty, accuracy, speed.' No faking a soul in distress." Every line He will Carefully read Ere Life's Cosmic sheet goes to press. Hadra Family to New York. Mr. and Mrs.. Fred S. Hadra and their daughter, Erna, leave Omaha tn "bout ten days to make their home Z;ih New York. They plan to spend 5 tit mmr months at Far Rockaway I club.

A HAPPY, divergence from' the shirtwaist and the sports coat is this blouse of lavender crepe de chine, which embodies usefulness and ch'arm. It is cut primarily like a middy. A finely tucked bosom is set in the front, and this in turn is out lined with tucks. Two rows of hem stitching run around the edge and the hem makes a casing through which purple ribbon runs, ending in fringed balls. Pearl links fasten the front, and serve is cuff buttons, while a small round Collar gives the perfect neck finish. Worn with a purple hat and a sport skirt of white Georgette satin, this blouse bids us rejoice over its unusualness. m Thrift Hints : Waffles are particularly good served with honey. ' -, ' . : Make puddings and soups and bread with skim milk. i ' ' r Serve small portions and let people come back for more. Always have the food served to a sick person spotlessly clean and fresh. If you must have frosting on cake put less sugar in the cake itself. If a fire has to be left un watched for several hours put a handful of salt on the top of the coal. This will pre vent the fuel burning away quickly and a stir with the poker will result in a nice glowing fire. The public shop went over the top with 11,482 dressings last week, Mrs. Lee Huff announces. This is the first week the total has been more I than 10,000, the goal set by the shop, l Tonight from 7 to 9 o clock, and Thursday night at the lame hours are given over to Red Cross work.

Many of the women are now holding highly responsible positions. Mme. Yono Suzuki, the richest woman in Japan, is the sole head of a great shipping company, which is re ported to have made $100,000,000 since the war began. The first woman auctioneer has made her appearance in New York City. conomic F,M2 hi Isma H Gross HOVSCHOID ARTS DJSPT CZIfTJfAL HIGH &CH002. Peanut Butter In searching about for plentiful foods to replace the staples that are being conserved, peanut butter should not be overlooked. It rightfully de serves the name of butter because it is so rich in fat; and in addition it contains a good deal of body-building material which makes it a more balanced food. It also has a charac teristic flavor whjch is very pleasing to most people. Food Value of Peanut Butter. When we compare peanut butter and dairy butter we find that dairy butter gives about 3,500 heat units per pound, to 2,800 from peanut but ter. Comparing the prices we find, roughly speaking,' dairy butter 3,500 heat units for 50 cents; peanut butter, 2,800 units, for 25 cents. Because, peanut butter is not pure fat, when using it in cooking ill place of butter, one should use at least half as much peanut butter again. How to Purchase. Peanut butter may be purchased in bulk or in jars. We have gone to such an extreme on the package ques tion that we shun everything in bulk, but there is no doubt about the extra price we pay for the package or jar. Bulk peanut butter is about 25 cents per pound; jar peanut butter, a 12 ounce jar for 30 cents, foots up to 40 cents per pound. If you use pea nut butter only as a spread for bread, there is some point in using the jar kind. But if you- use the article in cooking where heat is applied it seems an extravagance to pay the extra money.
