THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. MAY 1, 1918. 11 Conducted" by Ella Fleishman win Itt IB JjJiieJ ly IrmaH Gross HOUSEHOLD ARTS VEPT CXJtTfiAZ HIGH CItOO& : Immediate NeedWheat t The loyal food conserver these days is the woman who is ready to adjust ner iooa program to the immediate " need. At the present time the call for wheat is sounded throughout the land. The 50-50 rule is all right, but it is not enough to meet the demand for wheat. Therefore the problem is not to make Victory bread, or 50-50 cake, but to substitute even up to 1UU per cent This may "sound like a hardship to those of us who are iust feeling friendly to the half and half substitution; but to the woman who can afford to use the more expensive flours, doing without wheat is not an impossible feat. 17- J . I . . . vvc are urgea to aaopt a new atti tude toward cereal foods. Just be cause a product is not exactly like a wheat food is no reason why we should feel that the new result is a failure. To be sure, certain character istics will always mark the successful baked food for instance, hot bread or cake should never be soggy and should always be fairly light and ten der. But if it be granular instead of spongy there is no reason to con demn it. "Many of these problems must be worked out by the nidividual house wife by experiment, and in this work she must adopt new standards, and not be content to determine only how closely the result of experiment re sembles the wheat flour product, but also whether it is in itself edible and attractive without regard to former standards." Use of Cereals. In the Chicago Tribune of Sunday, Miss Eddington makes some very -sage remarks concerning the use of the various cereals. She emphasizes the fact that merely following recipes will never make one mistress of the new cookery. The thing to learn is the characteristics of the new flours, and draw your own conclusions from your general facts. For instance, it is. a recognized fact that cornstarch adds a light dry quajity to cakes a quality similar to that obtained with the finest pastry flour. , One of my students said: "Why couldn't you use cornstarch with rye flour to make cake?" She had grasped .he qualities of the two flours the .' heaviness of the rye and the lightness of the cornstarch. I may add that I tried out her idea and it worked. Miss Eddington suggests that the cereals . other than wheat take up more water A new schedule of hours has been announced for the public workshop at 315 South Seventeenth street. The shop will be open every day from Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 p. m., but will be closed all day Saturday. The night classes will meet Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 7 to 8:30. At least 50,000 French children are "to be removed by the American Red Cross from the danger of Gerrnan air raids and long range bombardment. They will be taken from Paris this summer to a provincial city for the vacation period. The children will be billeted in homes and dormitories, and will be supervised as to recreation and health by the Red Cross. It doubt less will prove to be the most profit able summer they ever had. Their fathers in the army at the front will fight all the harder from knowing their loved ones are protected. lhe American people, when they open their purses in May for the Sec on Red Cross war fund, unquestion ably will consider this service for French children a most worthy dispo sition of their subscriptions. .. How much the king of Italy ap preciates the American Red Cross is indicated by his action in turning over a part of his palace at Genoa to be used as a warehouse for Red Cross supplies. At every turn the American soldier is finding the Red Cross representa tive on hand and ready to serve him. The latest development of this serv ice is upon the transports, which carry our boys to Europe. fcvery transport leaving for Eng land or France is to have aboard a trained Red Cross worker, whose special business will be to look after the comfort of the men. These repre sentatives will learn the anxieties of the soldiers as regards their home affairs and will undertake commis sions from them to adjust conditions to a satisfactory basis. The Miller Park Red Cross auxil iary will meet Wednesday from 10 to 5 p. m., in Miller Park school. After -this week the unit will meet in the Uncle Sa !

She also says that increasing the amount of egg will help a batter to stretch and hold the stretched form. Successful Wheatless Recipes. The recipes discussed below have all been tested out by me personally or I have personal knowledge that the combinations suggested are abso lutely accurate. For bread making, rye may be used entirely alone. For steamed bread, half rye and half cornmeal is a good combination. P'or biscuit, half rye and half corn flour gives excellent results. For muffins, all barley, all rye, half corn flour and half barley, half bar ley and half oatmeal, are all possible. When using rolled oats, they should be scalded with the hot liquid, or g; und through the food chopper. Half rye and half cornmeal is also possible. For pastrj half corn flour and half barley is good. . For gingerbread, any of the muffin substitutes are satisfactory. , For cookies, I think all the muffin substitutes would be good. I know 100 per cent barley flour in a spice cooky gives excellent results. Flavor With Spices. For plain cake, flavored with spices or lemon juice and rind, the muffin substitutes may be used. To make a lighter cake, use one-fourth corn starch with the rye or barley. Rice flour may also be used in part with the rye or barley. 1 realize the above list does not nearly exhaust the possibilities of other than wheat flours, but it is a list that I cn personally vouch for. In . all meat cookery where' flour is required, use barley or rye without any hesitation. For thickening white sauce, one housewife suggests potato flour if the price is not pro hibitive, another likes rice flour or corn flour. The corn flour is more apt to lump than wheat flour, but gives good results if one is careful. Thoughts imm Flowers The Tube Rose.

Free Potatoes to Save Bread An interesting bread-sadng sugges tion comes from London, where a chain of hotels operated by a company has established the practice of serv ing baked potatoes at the tables to guests free of charge with dishes of which they form a suitable accom paniment, provided no bread is eaten.

"Americanizing" the For eign Woman "The woman who teaches one for eign man or woman English, who is the means of converting one alien to become a loyal American citizen, is in the fighting line as truly as the man who goes to the front," is the statement ot Mrs. Frederick P. Bag ley, chairman of the Americanization committee of the National American Woman Suffrage association. "Scat tered effort, although useful, will not effect the great national assimilation of our foreign population; but work ing under a concerted plan, covering; the country systematically state by state, district by district, doing the same thing all together at the same time, we can make ourselves felt in preventing division and distrust of the government." The women of Massachusetts have a working machinery that reaches in to the hornet of the aliens, ready for the Americanization ' program of the government, Mrs. Bagley said. Every woman's organization in the state which does Americanization work is centralized in a room of the state house and works with the Bureau of Immigration. Mrs. Bagley does not believe that the American woman can teach the foreigner much about food conserva tion. 'The alien women are already using food substitutes. They set our American housewives a splendid ex ample in economy." The "home teacher" plan, which already is in ex istence in many cities, and by which the foreign woman is taught English in her home, is being encouraged by Mrs. Bagley all over the United States.
