HE present ruling concerning the
use of wheat hour is working no
hardship in homes where women
are making conservation a business.
The government requires that the use
of wliite flour be limited to six pounds
per person per month. Mrs. John
L. Wells, district chairman for South
Franklin district, has used but 48
pounds of white flour since Christ
mas. Her family consists of seven
people and on week ends she has
ten in the family. 1
Mrs. Wells states that the men
are catchine the spirit of conserva
tion. She found a man in one home
who is doing without coffee because
he does not care or it unsveetened
and he is too patriotic to vse sugar.
He also substitutes rice fot bread in
the evening meal. 'v
Mrs. Joseph G. Master.; gave an
interesting talk on '"Bread Baking
with Substitute lours," at the South
Franklin school Wednesday ' after
noon. An exhibit of breads ' and
cookies illustrating the subject called
forth an interesting discussion.
To get every woman in Omaha
talking about conservation, is one
object sought for by the conserva
tion council. Woman, as a rule, are
patriotic and eager to do their full
share in winning the war. When
the use of substitutes and the work
of conservation absorbs the attention
of every homemaker, the food prob
lem will be solved.
Mr Oscar Allen, food adminis
trator for Douglas county, says he
hears Conservation discussed by
women on every hand, even in the
street cac
The program of the conservation
council for the coming week will be
conducted by Miss Nellie Farns
worth, federal food agent, as follows:

Shorter Hours for led
. Cr o s s W or k e r a How
A four-hour working day is the
present arrangement for all Red -Cross
surgical dressings workers.
While it didn't take a strike, it did
take the government to bring about
the shorter hours. The entire fac-
tory output of surgical dressings have
been commandeered by Uncle Sam,
who will give it out to the Red Cross.
This will delay the supplies, which
will no longer be obtainable from lo
cal sources.
Another reason why shorter hours
are advisable for the present is be
cause the shipping facilities are so
limited that to make as many dress
ings as would be made, in the regular' ,
tion working day would necessitate
storing the articles. .,..
This new arrangement will begin
Monday." The hours will be from
10 a. m. to 12 m. and from 2 to 4 p.
m. Evening classes will work from
7 to 8:30 p. m. All auxiliaries are re
quested to observe the new regula
tion. No child under 15 years old;
will be allowed in the work rooms.
Urs. Kountze Resigns :
Mrs- C. T, Kountze has resigned he?
position as chairman of. Red Cross
auxiliaries, owing to her hecent ill
ness. She will retain her place at
