What ever else the war may bring, it does give one a sense of values and the right viewpoint about spending time and energy on the preparation of every-day meals. Women, who are working devoted ly with the Red Cross must simplify their meal preparation, or their energy will not last. Women who are prac ticing conservation have welcomed the one-dish dinner, because fuel is saved and even food material is saved. It is a truth that one's appetite is a better guide to quantity of food needed if the number of dishes is few than if there is a variety of foods on the table. The reason is that, with a variety of foods, we are very apt to eat for the sake of flavor and not for the sake of our bodily needs. Hence a family will only eat what they really need if there is but one main dish at dinner. Eoundation of a one-dish dinner to satisfy all the needs of the body, a meal must furnish body-building ma terial, called protein; energy-giving food, such as starch, sugar and fat; and body-regulating food, such as vegetables or fruits. In addition there should be some raw food; hence a simple salad or fresh fruit dessert should be added to the one-dish din ner. The desire for sweets may be met in a simple dessert though a "desire" is not a "need." Strictly speaking, even bread is unnecessary, for it is good only as a source of energy and some protein, and those foods are supplied in the main dish. The body-building material may be supplied by fish, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, peas, beans or lentils. The typi cal energy foods in 0ne-dish dinners are the starches, such as potatoes, rice, hominy, macaroni or dumplings, and the fats v.hich are generally add ed. All one-dish dinners include vegetables, which supply the body regulating material. The recipes given below do not pre tend to be new they are merely a collection of good one-dish dinners.

Dear Miss Fairfax,' Omaha Bee: The "Bachelor Man" has answered, but a woman must have the last word, so here Is mine: Thank you, Mr. Bachelor Man, for your smiling suggestion. I'm doing It right now. In fact (bo those who love me say) I do It happily. I do hope so for I hate a coward. I liked your way of working that conductor business, and I fully Intend to stay on the train and only frown If he shuts another window by the one I want left open so that he'll keep away from mine. But as to that "chat" well, I believe I'll smile at two, then, you see, I could chat with both long enough to find out which I'd rather really talk with until the end of the trip. 1 believe I'd like one of them to go all the way to make up for that lost uview that was seen through glass dimly. fHere's to a speedy end to the war and a proof that 'a woman will have the last word when she can. JEHSY. A woman writes the last word to the Lonely Bachelor. The Old Prejudices. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 20; employed as 6 stenographer. For some time I have been going out with a young man who holds a reliable position with the same firm. He lives with an old mother, being the main support of that household. He has a well-balanced character and compassion for weaknesses In his fellows Is very strong. Taking all In all, I would class him as "A perfect man." I have acquired a great deal of knowledge through our little discussions such as topics of the day and occasional business matters. -Jle has helped me above all to be broad-minded. To make a long story short, he Is a Prot estant while I am an American of Hebrew descent. My parents object to my going out with him, and have told blm so. ' PEGGY H. If this man Is the fine, splendid, loyal and general Individual your letter describes, and you have tha gift of appreciating all he Is and stands for, I think It Is a real tragedy that the old prejudices should separate you. Once upon a time we all laid too much stress on the fact that tne Jewish religion marked an actual racial distinction, and that Jew and Gentile was separated not merely by creed, but by differences In environment, training, Ideals and by all the contrasting conditions of their family lives. Recently on the stage of one theater the war drive of the Knights of Columbus was held. And on the stage sat together In friendly unity an Episcopalian minister, a Jewish rabbi, and a cardinal. Tour parents have not quite caught' up yet with the broader and more generous views, which are actually part of our life today. I wish they would think over the situation carefully and see whether In this man's respect for the old, compassion for the weak, consideration for others and fine admiration for their own daughter they do not recognize their own best Ideals. She Needs Friends. Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee: I have been going about with a girl, therefore mak ing it impossible for other boys to court her. She has given up all her friends and is very much attached to me. I am In the draft, and whenever the thought comes to me, "What will my girl do when I am away?" I am troubled. She has no one to turn to, and I fear my absence will de press her. Time and time again I have told her not to worry, but it is useless. In what manner would you advise me to oora fort her? GEORGE T. I do not believe In young' people giving up all friendship for the sake of love. This is very narrowing In Ita Influence and ev.en when the love culminates In marriage It doesn't mean happiness. Married couples need outside interests, stimulating friend ships in order to keep their Uvea from be coming dull and narrow. Set about making a group of friends. Take your sweetheart to social affairs where there will be people you know. Introduce her to them and try to get her Interested In them. Then let her find war relief work to do. Her world mustn't be narrow and selfish and composed of Just you twe. If It Is of course there will be ugly emptiness In It when you are away.. But if she cultivates friendship and helpful'lnterests she will find herself ready to bear separation when separation comes with a splendid courage the rest of our women show. Hold to Your Ideals. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are two young girls, members of a club, and, although, tly? girls seem to be very nice, still they allow privilege which we do not ap prove, such as kissing the boyi good night, etc. We feet as though we have no right to Judge them, so we are asking your advice. "PUZZLED TWO." No, you have no right to alt In judgment on your girl friends. Perhaps their home training has not been as good at yours. Perhaps they have not as much strength of character or dignity In ttjelr very natures. Don't Judge them, but don't copy them. What Is cheaply acquired la never highly valued. Girls who let their boy friends kiss and caress them make those boys feel that a kiss It nothing much, and that a girl who bandies her kisses about lightly It noth ing much, either. Not only this, but cheap love-making dulls the capacity for tender feeling. Tou know perfectly well that beau tiful scenery startles and enthralls Jou the first few times you see ft and that after awhile you takp " for granted. That la life and human nature. Save your love making for love Itself. Don't cheapen your capacity for sacred and fine feelings. If your girl friends are too undignified and bold In their manners eventually association with them may lower your standards or give you unpleasant reputations. Suppose you show the girls my letter to you, talk the thing over with then and try to Influence them toward finer Ideals.

Bean Curd a Staple Chinese Food The most characteristic article of diet in China is bean curd, which en ablcs every Chinese to be a real food conservationist. Bean curd is one of a number of products derived from soy beans; among these are bean meal, a kind of spaghetti, bean cheese been sauce, bean milk and bean oil all of which are used by the Chinese as food. The nutritive value of bean curd is equal to that of meat and its cost is much less; when properly cooked its flavor compares favorably with meat It is an ideal food from a scientific point of view. Yellow beans form the chief raw material for bean curd, When ground they yield a milky fluid, which is coagulated by adding certain chemicals, lo form the curd of commerce the coagulated mass is subjected to pressure to, remove the excess of water. It can then be sliced with a knife. In an article in the Yale-in-China Student, John E. S. Han states that improvements in the native processes should be made. i he serious draw back in native factories," says Mr. Han, "is the enormous amount of manual labor that is required for such a small output. In the bean-curd fac tories in Paris many scientific lm provements already have been put into practical use. The use of hydrome ters for the native manufacturers is suggested. Repatriating French Women and Children Three hundred and fifty thousand helpless French women and children, taken from their homes in the occu pied provinces, have been returned to France through Evian, in Switzerland, according to Dr. Esther Lovejoy, of the Red Cross commission, who has just returned from a survey of condi tions among people from the invaded territory. In a report to the woman's com mittee of the Council of National De fense, Dr. Lovejoy tells of the repatri ation of these unfortunates. "About 50 per cent of these convoys are made up of children between 3 and 14 years of age. Sometimes whole orphanges are emptied and trainloads of children sent alone. Some of these children have been lost by their mothers in the confusion that attended the invasion three and a half years ago. They have suffered the war blight. They are undersized, ill-nourished and afflicted. "In November, at the request of the French government, the Red Cross es tablished a hospital and inspection service at Evian.. In two months 13,708 children had been examined to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Before the inspection serv ice was instituted, one child infected with diphtheria passed through Evian to Lyon, and an epidemic followed which had not been checked when I left France. Of the children inspected, 248 were found to have contagious diseases. 11 any 01 tnese cniiaren naa been allowed to pass into the popu lous districts of France, an equally bad epidemic might have followed, "The French government and the refugee department of the American Red Cross are co-operating in caring tor these people. In A) places in France there are delegates to receive convoys and help them in every pos sible way to begin life in a new place. Lord Kitchener's sister is one of these delegates at Cote du Nord." Acre Day A state-wide "Acre day" is being suggested as a means of increasing Nebraska's food supply this summer. Under the plan the men in the small towns in the state would each rent an acre of ground and agree to care for it during the summer. One day every week would be observed as "Acre day," when the stores and business houses would close and every man spend the day working on his acre. It is believed that during most of ti e summer business is not pressing enough but . that the business week could be shortened one day. Besides helping out the food supply of the nation, each man would derive a nice income from his summer's work. The agricultural extension service sug gests that some of the extra labor of the towns might be made available to the farmers, either by offering workers part time during rush seasons or arranging town work so that a portion of town workers could move to the farm. .1 Pennsylvania has nearly 500 women physicians.

From palace to tenement the plaint is the same: "We have no say in the build ing of our homes; if we had, do you suppose we would allow for one moment the awful waste of work that goes on as, things are now?" Writes Stella Wolf-Murrav in the London Chronicle. So it is welcome news that women are to have a chance at least of ad vising on building schemes after the war. The ministry of reconstruction has invited their co-operation in con nection with its advisory council, and wnn one 01 11s 0 committees appoint ed to deal with postwar problems. The housing (building construction) committee, which hereto has con sisted only of men, is now to have the advice of a number of well-known women, who, with Lady Emmott at their head, will visit model tenements, artisans' dwellings, both urban and rural, all over the country. They will study the question purely from the housewives' point of view, report fully on it, and make recommendations for building after the war. The Housewife's Future Home. If their plans are practical and profitable froma the building stand point, the working class wife of the future will no longer weep from sheer weariness at the end of washing day the suburban wife will be saved many a weary walk along needless passages, laden with a heavy tray on which is poised the family dinner, and domes tic service will be less shunned. One and all will spend less time sweeping or doing dusting, which the daughter of the housi finds so detestable, and there will be more time to serve the state outside the home. The Kennington estates, in the Duchy of Cornwall, of which the prince of Wales is the landlord, were the first to be visited by Lady Em mott and her sub-committee, whose work is, of course, in connection with the government housing scheme, re cently announced, In which it is pro posed to build about 300,000 dwellings in England ana Wales and SU.UUU in Scotland directly demobilization starts. Some of the proposals for London are almost Utopian in character. The suggestion is that big families should have preferential treatment, consump tive families should live in specially designed blocks set apart from the rest; the houses unfit for human habi tation should be closed, if necessary Tips from the Chef Excellent biscuits are made with barley flour.

Potatoes arc 25 cents a peck and oranges 0 cents a dozen for the 80 size. Fresh vegetables are the only commodity on sale in the stores where you buy for the table, which are just as cheap as last year. In these war days, when the consumer is expecting everything to soar in price, conies the bright fresh vegetables from southern climes and sells for just the same price as last year. Potatoes cost about one fourth what they did last year. Plan Houses; of Woman Architect pulled down; that the slum areas should be sweetened and the turncd out tenants rehoused; and that dwell ings should be buil. wherever there is a shortage. The government is pre pared to make large grants of the necessary funds to the local Author ities, who are encouraged to prepare eir plans in order that building may begin the moment the war ends. Now that the reconstruction min istry has enlisted the help of "house wives" the day of the woman archi tect is dawning. At present there are only three who are fully qualified by examination and who have prac tised on their own account the two Miss Charles, each associates of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and Miss Annie Hall, member of the Society of Architects, who works in Gloucestershire. Ireland bemsts one woman licentiate ?f the R. I. B. A. (not corporate membership), and there are a few others not connected with the professional societies. Rooms Without Corners. If women designed houses they would make all their rooms with rounded corners, like the hospitals. Even an inch or so would do the trick and prevent the dust collecting in that tiresome way it has. -They would have washable walls and built-in furniture, stained so as to save cleaning paint or wasting elbow Kreaf in rubbinp- and polishing. The bedrooms would have their basins fitted with hot water taps, tne pipes tor which would form the towel rail. Bathrooms would be big ger, and oiler every encouragement to oe clean. Central heating, I think, is apt to be stuffy, and there is no doubt that nothing will kill our cheerful English open fire, except lack of coal. It will die hard, in spite of the dirt it makes. But if we must have fires, whv not have our fireplaces as they do in Can ada, where you just poke your ashes into a hole in the grate, where they drop down into the ashpit below stairs from which they are collected once or twice a year? They have all these labor-saving contrivances in Canada and the states, and many more besides, yet in Eng land we go on ounaing in tne same silly old way. Who does not know that tall and narrow town house, with rooms on each floor, 2x2, like animals- in the ark? I have known maids to give notice at sight of such, and others who refuse the situation when they see the stairs. It should not be beyond the brains now concentrating on housing schemes to allow rich and poor alike to profit by practical house-planning. The artisans' dwellings 'of the future, and those of the well-to-do, will de pend on the success of the new na tional kitchens; if so, the thousands of fires in the thousands of homes, with thousands of cooks possibly spoiling the broth, could be done away with, and the cost to the com munity curtailed 1 Salad Dressing and Table Sauces Piquant and Pure Oval Label Quality We now offer to the American, housewife our VtuSol line of Condiments, bearing the famous Oval Label, our pledge of highest grade.
