Cutcheon boys, and the girl who was
picked up from her every-day exist
ence and whisked into fiction as the
lovely lady in "Graustark" is now
living at Fort Sam Houston, Tex.,

My Hat Diary i
-BY-
Carita Herzog I
Oh dear I I just hate recep
tions, but mother coaxed me into
going last night and really I'm
not sorrybecause I got a won
derful idea how to have my new X
hat made. Letty Green had on T
the stunningest hat It was very f
large and .turned down all the Z
way arouna. ine crown was
made of striped satin, of black
ami white, and the brim plain
black satin. An adorable little
black and white ornament was
right in front Really it was very
clever.
War to Teach Reclamation
Of Disabled
The reclamation of the energies of
all the disabled of the nation may be
taught by the exigencies of war, ac
cording to Major Harry E. Mock, M.
R. C, who in addressing the Nationa'.
League of American Pen women,
said:
"There are in the United States
600,000 persons who have been dis
abled in industries probably more
than the total number of soldiers who
will be disabled through this war
yet neither government nor industry
has hitherto made thorough effort to
reclaim their energy. That is a great
lesson this -war has taught us, and
when we have won it we will find
that, through deaths, a cessation of
immigration, and other causes, we
shall face a great shortage in the labor
market We shall then turn our at
tention to the reclamation of all the
disabled, and thus our country will
profit by the labor of all her sons and
daughters."
The Indian women of Bolivia are
usually superior' to their lords in both
energy and intelligence.
McGill university, Montreal, has de
cided to admit women to the study of
medicine and dentistry.
Belgian Heroes Rip
Off Brass Buttons
For Omaha Girls
"Can you read French?" "What did
he mean when he said, 'tres jolie?'"
With a perfect barrage fire of these
questions the French and Belgian
heroes of the war had the time of
their lives the depot Thursday
evening with a bevy of blue-veiled
Red Cross canteen girls hovering
around them. When they couldn't talk,
they smiled, and many a souvenir did
they leave behind. Brass buttons
were ripped off uniforms with sturdy
jack knives and dropped into the
pretty palm of Miss Omaha, who
remembered enough of her college
French to say, "mcrci, beaucoup."
Miss Mona Cowell was deeply en
gaged in conversation with a fierce
looking warrior who proudly wore the
skull and crossbones medal given by
Kerensky, testifying to the fact that
he belongs to the famous Legion of
Death. When it was explained to this
trenchman that the pretty girl who
was standing by his side would sail
for France to do canteen work, his
face lighted up, and putting out his
hand he congratulated her in his best
French and complimented her on her
willingness to do such a big part
"over there."
Miss Gertrude Kountze, in her mili
tary cape, was quite the belle of the
occasion, and she is the proud pos
sessor of a photograph of one of the
men, to say nothing of numbers of
addresses and brass buttons galore.
"All aboard," was heard, and the
men and girls realized that "au
revoir" time had come. The at
tractive canteen workers scrambled
up on a huge truck standing by the
tracks and there they stood, wav
ing goodby and smiling "God speed"
until the train vanished around the
curve, bearing its load of smiling,
waving soldiers, their hearts gladden
ed by the wonderful reception tender
ed them in the Gate City.
Using Tough Ends of
Asparagus
If rot wr Ukn for tb ftrorlU
prlnr vegetable, uparacut would iullr
win tha day. It hai averr good food qual
ity, bealdea being so delicious. In thesa
days wo can't afford to wasts tha leaat bit
of such delicacy, so when preparing It for
tbo tablo cut oft at least half of the
tougher end. Asparagus must bo prepared
In tha kitchen with ears to produoo tha beat
results. It should always bs cooked In
enameled ware, as It darkens upon con
tact with metal and easily loses Its delight
ful favor. Place the tips In an enameled
wars saucepan, cover with boiling water,
and cook them until tender. Save the water
In which tha asparagus was cooked, add to It
the portion of the stalks which were cut
off at first and cook these for half an hour.
Strain out ths stalks, thicken the bouillon
with arrowroot or cornstarch (we are try
ing to save flour), add a little rich milk or
cream and there Is a delicious asparagua
bisque to help out a war luncheon or supper.
The electric light company of
Visalia, Cal., has employed women as
meter readers.
Young Omahan in First
Tank Company Writes
Of France in Outlook
Hawthorne. Daniel, a former
Omaha man, and member of The Bee
staff, has written an article on France,
which appeared in the Outlook dur
the last two weeks. In an English
class at Wellesley college not long
ago this article was recommended to
the members of the class as the most
authentic description of France yet
written.
What a coincidence that an Omaha
girl. Miss Eleanor Carpenter, should
be in the class when the instructor
referred to the article by an Omaha
man I
Mr. Daniel, who is the brother of
Mrs. John Lionberger and Mr. Her
bert Daniel, has been associated editor
of "World's Work" for some time
and has now enlisted in one of the
first American tank companies to be
formed. He is in New York await
ing his call.
The young Omahan has spent much
time abroad, and was a frequent guest
of the Vincent Astors in London.
The Astors wrote a number of their
prominent friends in New York and
on Mr. Daniel's return they literally
opened their hearts and homes to
him.

Keep your eye on Your Uncle Fuller. We may astonish the na

WE ARE REJOICED TO FIND HOOVER, THE CHEMISTS AND
LEADING FOOD SPECIALISTS IN ACCORD WITH OUR
IDEAS ON THE FOOD VALUE OF CANDY.
Food Value Chart No. 13, Page 11, contains these words: "It is a
well known fact of common knowledge that Nuts are very high in
food value, those used principally in manufacturing confectionery
being almonds, filberts, pecans, peanuts and walnuts, averaging
approximately 1,500 Calories per pound." Again: "Scientists
have demonstrated by careful experiments that during violent ex
ercise or exhausting labor, that the sugar in the blood is heavily
drawn on to supply the body with the necessary fuel, hence the
longing for "something sweet" which can be readily assimilated."
You might think you were listening to an extract from a letter from
one of our boys "Over Yon" about "Cobb's" we have many such
in our files. Brigadier General L. W. Waller of the United States
Marine Corps, referring tq the food value of chocolate, says: "I
never went into a campaign without my chocolate. MEN FIGHT
LIKE THE DEVIL ON CHOCOLATE. IT IS PARTICULARLY
GOOD IN HOT WEATHER." WONDER IF HE WAS REFER
RING TO COBB'S? COBB'S CANDY threatens to make Omaha
famous. Telephone Douglas 51 if you cannot come down Satur
day. Say COBB'S, PLEASE.
