The recipe origin lly read as follows: . Plain Cake,' 1915.', ' e. butter. ' ,1 e. flour. ' .' J c sugar. . 3 l. baking powtbr. 1 eggs. , H't vanilla.- :v , ,; i c. milk. , " Few. grain aalt;, . Fat Substitution. , The fat substitution was an 'asy problem, f6r fat substitute ' fa's . in cooking, while new to the rpa'oi 'ty of people, have been in use fo- sev eral years. You may use any ot the oleomargarines or nut margarines to be found on the market, using an 'qtal amount; or you may use any si the vegetable fats or oils, using on-ffth less. The reason for using less of the vegetable fats is that thev are nearly 100 per cent fat, while butter and margarine is only about 85 per cent 'fat. The cooking oils make ex cellent cakes, though they canr.ot be handled quite so easily by the n'?ce. Suet may be used in part or en'.'rely if the cake is spiced. Otherwise its flavor is not quite so pleasant in cake. . ' ' v ' ,. If one wants to be especially con serving of all fats, it is possible to re duce the amount of fat used to, one third cup, even if margarine is Wed, and tc increase the milk to two-th!rds cup. For the fat and milk are related to each other in proportions as the one goes up, ht other goes dowA . i Sugar Substitution. Sirup may be substituted up to one half "the amount with excellent re sults. The only point one needs' to remember is, that for each cup of ?iuip used omi one-fourth cup , of liquid. One-fourth proportion of sirup is scarcely noticeable, and one-hal pro portion js very pleasant The rfikw back to the use of sirup is its cst. Even in large cans it costs nea. 1 as much per pound as sugar does, md it' weighs half as heavy again. S:i that Substituting for sugar runs M? the cost of the recipe, , Still one ought either to cut down "On sugar ra.pes Get the Benefits of This New Benefit in Food Value v It's made from the juice of the white meat of cocoanuts. 3590 calories, or energy units to the pound Nutritious and wholesome. 1 ' , Churned by Downey FARRELL , Chicago or be willingto pay the add'.tfcral price; V- .": ', k .. Of course plain cake in war time is unfrosted. it may be baked as cup cakes,, loaf cake, or layer cake, put together with jelly or . jam. - In all cases, the top should go unfrosted. So far I have not been able to find satisfactory- icings made entirely, of sirups or honey. Apropos of frostings, the patriotic housewife should remembei that it is. just as disloyal to buy frosted cake oi cookies, as it is to make the froiting at home. Incident ally one should remember also that frosted dainties will be on the mar ket just as long as you and I buy them and no longer 1 . " Flour Substitutes. . We tried sut many of the substitute flours in the plain cake. As I remem ber it, the list included corn flour, white corn tfieal, rice flour, barley flour, potato flour, cornstarch and rolled ;oats, ground fine in the food chopper The potato flour and corn starch were used half and half, and produced excellent results, though some 'of the girls objected to' the fla vor of the cornstarch. Again we find the practical" drawback, to these substi tutes, the cost. It may be that potato flour Vill cost less, if we have new mills, but at present it is clearly in the class with luxuries. However, it is not greatly higher than Jhe best grade, of pastry flours, and it does make tfJccelhint cake. The other substitutes were tried in one-fourth and one-third proportions. In the case tf cornmeal and oatmeal, more than one-fourth made a some what -crumblv cake, though the flavor was excellent. The barley makes a good cake if one disregards color, which, of course, is entirely masked in a chocolate or. spice cake. But our problem was to see what could be done without any high flavors and col ors to mask changes. As a result of our experimenting, a recipe for plain cake might read now: .

A An Equal Quantity. -ood gracious, Jane, where did you get that pile of magazines?" "At the grocer's. His wife is crazy about continued, stories, and he didn't know what tc do with the pile," so I told him when I bought the flour I would take an equal quantity of these serials." . : i Health Food- s Benefit in Economy It saves you " almost half the cost of butter "and we only ask you to put it to , the test with the best cow's ' " I Co. Democratic Consideration is- - ., ' T Due AH Your Fellow Workers By BEATRICE FAIRFAX, Make friends with your fellow work ers. From a utilitarian point of view of humanity you actually owe then! a friendly and democratic considera-j tion.' "And from an ideal viewpoint perhaps thefriendliness you have to give may have almost unguessed value in their lives. 'When Robbie came to our office he was the sort of office boy in whom cartoonists delight. Collars and fin gernails left almost as much to be desired as Aid his habit of forgetting two-thirds'of the things he was asked to do. Robbie was an unattractive urchin, whom everybody shunned or snubbed. Then Jimmie Hale came to work in our place as stenographer to the chief. Jimmie was an immaculate soul, smiling, friendly and always well groomed. One dav he took1 Robbie with him for 'a soda fountain funch of, hot to mato bouillon and sandwiches. After that the youngster made a point of re membering whatever his idol'asked of him and pretty soon he got the re memberinsr habit." Robbie began imitating his idol's manner of speech of dress, and sud denly he turned into a clean litMe chap. He worked all these miracles in himself. And it was because some one treated him like a human being in stead of the 'grubby little animal he looked. The Friction. You have to live in contact with your fellow workers at least eight hours of every day. The friction which comes from having them block you instead of helping you is -great. Th atmosphere which unfriendliness creates iJ antagonistic, to good work as well as to mere happiness. . Friendly fellow workers can aid you with bits of advice, ancles of vi sion, crumbs of information all sorts of little leads which you alone might never have found. The good will of the. people you! woric witn is aisuncuy worm navmg. Test this. . Every member ofan organization does his part toward keeping it well oiled and smoothly running. When Mary Jones of the telephone switchboard is . not 'quite "good enough" for Betty Malloy and Elea nor Smith to include in their little luncheon parties, Mary become more than an . unhappv girl wlp feels snubbed. She becomes a worker whose daily task is unpleasant to her because of the little humiliations the other, girls put on her. Perhaps she leaves the position she - butter! I HARDING CREAM COMPANY Dietribntora - Omaha ' . might have well filled; perhaps she does her. work in a half-hearted man ner and is dismissed. Betty and Elea nor do not dream they have cost an other girl her job I A little Office. I know of a little office whose force consists of a business manger, his assistant, their secretaries, two other stenographers, an office -boy and a telephone opetator. Eight people. TJie general manager of the com pany for which they work is always laughing over the tragic necessity of raising salaries in that little branch ofiico. "They do the work of sixteen," he told me recently. "And yet none of them ever seems tired or grumpy, and if one of them - gets sick the work goes on as before. The others vet It out. " It's too good to be true, and I don't understand it unless it is that those folks all like' each other So well and do such good team work that they pull together in harness about twice vas well, as they could working as individuals." Yes there' lies the secret team work! Team-work always succeeds where individual effort is not capable of conquering. "Team work is the chain that is as great a3 the sum of i its links. Go Back to Simple life to Win War If we had not grown so far away from the ideal that built this nation we would find saving food a much easier task. ' ; f - "From . a little group of frugal, thrifty settlers, huddled together on the barren shore of, Massachusetts, we have grown into a mighty nation, rich, luxury loving, and spendthrift. We have r.ct been satisfied with the simple life of our ancestors. While they were content to make a whole dinner of Indian pudding, we mtjst have at least three courses fdr dinner. We demand elaborately prepared food. We have cultivated a taste for fancy brands and imported products. We turn up cur noses at fdod grown in our own locality and select instead that transpoited to u's from a dis tance. No wonder foreigners traveling here have gone back , to their own countries' filled with tales of our thoughtless extravagance and waste 1 But now we have a mighty task to do. ' We must win this war if it takes our last ouitce of strength. In self defense, we, must. save. -food to feed the people who are helping to fight our fight ' "Even if you can afford to live extravagantly, your country can not afford to have you. Be content wjth simple fare. Buy native, food, when it is in season, and as far as possible buy the products ,that are grown in your own locality. Go back to the simple life, be con tent with simple food, simple pleas ures, simple clothes. Work hard, pray hard, play hard. Work, eat, rec reate and sleep.; Do it all courage ously, we nave a victory to win. The Woman's Democratic club of New York City is to hold a Jefferson day dinner.

' Plan Your Garden Now "The production of food is going to be one of the most crucialoccupations connected with the war, announces Mrs. Fred Deweese of Dawson, chair man of the food production, depart ment, woman's committee, Council oi Defense, in a message to the women producers, of Nebraska. "If you can be assured of making connections with a consumer, it fs going to b one of the most profitable activities in which you can engage. Be sure of your market by : beingproducer and consumer yourself. Serve ydur coun try, improve your health, spare your pocketbook and better your living by raising a garden." ,t Some of the things which Mrs. De weese advises for immediate garden preparations are: Secure your land; fairly level and well drained, clear it of old vinesplants and weeds and burn them, and treat with well rotted manure. Plan your garden on paper, providing for the constant use of the ground by using early and late vege tables. Get your tools in readiness, buying top few rather than too many. Study the tool question to avoid mis takes. J Milk Conservation ' In several counties the woman's committee, Nebraska Council of De fense is co-operating with the uni versity extension department in hold ing -milk conservation demonstration schools.
