ASS'T EDITOR., THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1918. gjidgiai jp kivB anrB H sbhm bits n s m m Asparagus From Far West : Appears on Omaha Market ' Fresh asparagus was added to the new things on the Omaha markets this week. It is excellent and comes from California. It costs about as much as chocolates 65 cents a pound. Cauliflower is remarkably fine just now and in the last week the price has come down somewhat. Extra fine heads are offered at 12 to 15 cents each. Cabbage is of fine, solid qual ity and the price continues down to the lines of economy. Radishes and lettuce grown "near Omaha are now on hand. Of course, they are protected from the weather when necessary, but they have the taste of the real open-air spring vege table. Potatoes continue at their former economical prices, and it is pleasant Government Tells How To Use New War Flours The new flours are soon to be ready i for housewives. Maybe the grocer hasn't them in stock yet but he will 'have, -so keep on asking for them! Here are some suggestions for using them for the United States Food ad ministration: Honey Cake (Rice Flour). l-t cup glucose. ' 2 cups pastry flour. 1-J cup honey. t teaspoom baking H cup fat. powder. cup water. i eggs. 1 cup rice flour. 1 teaspoon vanilla. The glucose must be warm so that it will mix. Add to it the honey and fat; beat well Add alternately wa iter and flour sifted with baking ! powder, then add beaten eggs and vanilla. Bake in three layers. Eye and Rice Flour Pie Crust , ttt cups rye flour. 1 teaspoon baking ; l cups rlca flouc powder. 1 teaspoon salt. t cup fat cup water, ' Sift flour, salt and baking powder together; cut the fcit into the flour feature Add water, mixing and handling as little as possible. Chill until ready to roll. Soy Bean Griddle Cakes. 1H eupa toy beanH cup sugar. meal. cups milk. ML ciirm flour. 1 egg. ltt tablespoons baking 2 tablespoons melted powder. fat. 1 teaspoon salt Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add milk and egg beaten together. Beat well and add melted fat. Cook on a hot griddle. Barley Spoon Bread. 4 cups boiling; water. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons flrlp- 1 cup barley meal. pings. Add barley meal to boiling salted water, stirring constantly. Cook in a double boiler one hour. Cool and add well beaten eggs and fat. Turn into an oiled dish and bake in a mod erate oven three-fourths of an hour. Rye and Corn Flour Biscuit. 1 eup rye flour, 2 tablespoons shorten- 1 cup corn flour. ing. 1 teaspoon salt. cup milk. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add fat, cutting it in with a knife. Add milk gradually until mixture is soft and spongy. Turn onto a slightly floured board and roll lightly until a uniform thickness, about one-half inch. Cut with a floured biscuit cut ter, place on a greased tin and bake for 12 or 15 minutes in a quick oven. Save Fuel in Cooking An excellent way to save fuel is not to use it. Fresh or canned fruits for desserts in place of cakes and pies; salads, nuts, raisins, milk, cheese, punches, junkets, and gela tins are uncooked foods that we can use constantly. Foods that require simply to be heated but need no long period of cooking may be used often. Milk soups, cocoa, custards, apple sauce, eggs, broiled fish and tender meats also come in this class. If the oven has to be used for one dish, then plan to cook the whole meal in it. If a roast of meat is on the menu, the potatoes may be roasted in the same pan, scalloped vegetables may be baked, a loaf of quick war bread may be made, and a dessert that can be cooked in the oven at the same time. Ovens that can be set over a gas burner do excellent work for a small family. Camouflage Child's Milk Nothing can take the place of milk in the child's diet. When they tire of it, as they often do, leave it off en tirely for a few days if necessary, and then begin to give it to them in a dif ferent form. They do not have to drink it raw. It will nourish them if it is disguised by cooking, or extra flavor. Milk soups, milk toast, cereal made with milk in place of water, cus tards and simple desserts made with milk are all good for children. They will eat junket colored pink that they would not touch if it were left white, and often the addition of a few grains of sugar and four drops of vanilla to a glass of milk makes it attractive to them. One hundred thousand Camp Fire Girls throughout the country will join in big patriotic rallies next month to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the founding of the organization. Mrs. Hortense Ward, who is presi- dent of the Houston Equal Suffrage association, is the first woman lawyer in Texas and the first woman in the south to be admitted to practice be fore the state supreme court.

Take Your Opportunity. Dear Miss Fairfax: I atn,17, and have been employed as a stenographer for about one year. During this time I have met a salesman whom I love, but as my salary Is not very large, my parents want me to leave this place for a better one, but on account of this man I hate to leave. He has never mentioned that he loves m.e although his actions show it which makes it all the harder for me to forget him. What would you do If you were In my place? PERPLEXITY. Don't sacrifice your chances for the sake fit a little romance which will prob ably come to nothing. Tou are young, my dear, and are Idealizing a man you might not like one bit If you came to know him. He may be engaged, married out of your reach entirely. It he really loves you and Is free to tell you so( leaving the place where he works will not cut you off from him at all. Just the fact that he has to make a little effort to see you might easily waken a man who really cared for you to the knowledge of his own feelings. By all means go to the better position. Tou owe that to your parents and to yourself as well. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am engaged to a young man whom I love very dearly, but like you advice on the follow ing: He Is a very clean, moral young man and everyone seems to like him, but I never like to go out to dinner any place with him because he does little things to make me uncomfortable. For Instance, he leaves his spoon in his cup when he drinks and don't keep his knife and fork on his plate, and little things like that He also Isn't careful about his English and I know, though, that he knows better than to say such things as "I have did," but he Isn't careful about it. Now what can I do? I am afraid I might hurt his feelings If I said anything to him. and I wouldn't want to tell him myself anyway. Could you help me? I will be very grateful to you if you can. RUTH E. Since you expect to marry this young man I should speak to him about his care lessness. You can do It in a tactful way that will not hurt his feelings, I am sure. Too Young. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: There are four of us girls. that are in love with one fellow. This young man is IS years old and Is tall and handsome and we love him dearly. The girl he love best Is very pretty and has pretty brown eyes, rosy cheeks and curly chestnut hair. When this boy talks to her we feel Jealous and Just now we are almost brokenhearted because his attentions toward her are more pro nounced. He always said to me (Mollle) that he loved me the best of all, but he doesn't show it. He said that to all the others. What should we do to stop his go Ing with other girls and going with us? Please help us In thjs trouble through the Omaha Bee and oblige. Yours truly, THREE FORLORN ANXIOUS GIRLS. You are all too young to think about love. Walt a few years and you will wonder what you could have seen In this boy. Council Bluffs, la. Dear Miss Fairfax: I don't know if you will remember me or not, but I am Mayme. I wrote to you when Mr. Farmer had his letter in. I went away after that and I often wonder if he found his ideal girl. I was sorry I didn't get to see the paper, but I was a long, long ways from home, and I couldn't get The Omaha Bee. I do hope the poor boy or man, which ever he may be, had good luck. Well, Miss Fairfax, I suppose you will think I am Just as silly as the rest, but I Just got back and I was anxious to hear what kind of luck Mr. Farmer man had. As ever, MAYME.

"There's a man outside wants to see you," said Terry, the office boy. Mr Jenkins looked up and studied Jerrys face: ' hats the matter with . - '"Ahl'he looks like a back number kind of down and out. I thought mavh he'd come to touch VOU for a loan or to sell you some phony stock." Mr. Jenkins sent word that he was in an important conference and could see no one. Then he turned to me and spoke tersely, aggressively: "When an office boy comes in and reports that a man looks seedy and shiftless and down and out, I don't want him in my organization." "Is it fair to judge that way? May be this is a splendid man who has been forced out of work, Do you think it's humane to turn him away because a 14-year-old youngster says he looks seedy? Perhaps he needed irnii- nertmne hp bad something VOU need." I asked so earnestly that Mr. Jenkins sat back then and there and gave me what lie called "Chautauqua Lecture No. 8342." "Business isn't a social settlement or a charity fair," said he. "And it hasn't time to investigate down and outers." Down and Out. "Fifteen years ago I was down and out. I went after a position for six months and pieced in with such jobs as dishwashing at cafeterias and shov eling snow. I had to take any cheap little means of earning a few cents in order to avoid starving to death. Fate seemed dead against me. I got more and more unshaven and un shorn. My feet were not far sepa rated from the cold ground. And the raggeder I got, the worse the treat ment I got when I went looking for work." "And doesn't that make you see how unfair it is to shut a man off from a job because he's shabby?' "No, it doesn't. I was shabby mentally, too, shiftless, down and out. I looked the part of a failure and a vagrant. I looked like a tramp, I felt like a tramp, I got treated like a tramp. And then one day I woke up to the fact that a man isn't likely to be much better than he looks. "So I marched myself down to a big charitable organization, put my pride in my pocket and offered to do a month's work for a decent outfit of clothes. They gave me a place to sleep and two square meals a day, and I worked at everything from packing cases of old ' clothes to driving wagon loads of poor children on excursions to the country. I Waited on Table. "I waited on table, cleaned dor mitories and did a lot of jobs you probably won't be able to think of in connection with me. , I came out with $5 and I lived on pretty skimp meals, but I kept my clothes pressed and my face shaven. I got a posi tion, too, without any help started on my own, and here I am.

Dressed for Business. Dressing for business is part of the equipment for business success. Neat, clean, plain, dark clothes with a touch of ecru or gray or white are most practical for the business woman. Too many girls think that a bit of color to brighten them up is going to make them more attractive. Being overemphasized by blue glass beads and a purple veil and pale gray suede shoes isn't "attractive" in the right way, however. The glass beads look cheap and dingy, the purple flunts it self, the light shoes become soiled. There is a suggestion of soil which attaches itself to the wearer. Busi ness neels a uniform that shall fit quietly into an atmosphere of work. No more than lie cart artord to go unpressed, unshaven or spotted as to clothes can a man afford to go dressed in conspicuous black and white checks showing yellow shoes and vivid scar let ties. And certainly of all places where "what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," the business world most completely is one where ivh-it io neatness and trimness and common sense in man's dress is also pleasantly atractive, decently pleasing and efficient looking for women.

Rag Rugs for Red Cross There are oeoole who have looms and do colonial weaving or pattern work, adapting the old colonial de signs. They are donating their looms and time and the Red Cross chapter has advertised for rags and women have cut and sewed them, besides us ing the long strips of unbleached muslin left from bandages, also strips left from pajama cloth, which work tn evrellent advantage, according tO the March Woman's Home Compan ion. These rugs sell trom $3 up, ac cording to size, and the fund is used to buy materials for surgical dress ings, etc. The only cash outlay is for warp, everything else being do nated, and as there are many women who for some reason feel they can't do regular Red Cross work this opens up a field of endeavor in which even the oldest and youngest can do his or her bit. .
