Changing Standards
For Cooked Products
An interesting change has ccme
about in our cooking within the last
year. Our old standards are gradual
ly slipping away from us. Color was
one of the first ideals to change. For
merly white applied to bread, rolls or
cake was a mark of approval. We
talked about "such nice white bread"
and "delicious white cake." Now
"white" bread is discussed in almost
the same hushed tone as one would
s.iy "traitor."
Changed Textures.
Probably our most pronounced
change in standards is in the texture
of batters and doughs. Formerly we
scorned a b'scuit that was not light,
fluffy and elastic to the touch. The
biscuit should have risen to twice its
size, and the muffin have come to a
tempting peak. Most of .hese de
mands we relinquish. Of course a
biscuit or a muffin must be reasonably
light in relation to its size; but feath
ery lightness is not essential. Elas
ticity is not possible with many of
the war flours. We have never de
manded a corn bread that was other
than crumbly, and cannot expect
other cornmeal products, for in
stance, to be different. One thing,
however, we still demand, and that
is freedom 'from sogginess. A sopgy
biscuit always has been and always
will be an abomination.
Another food texture that is com
pletely changed is the texture of
frostings. We have eithir given
frostings up entirely or'have limited
ourselves to boiled frosting made with
. syrups or maple sugar. The maple
frosting has the advantage of the
usual creamy consistency to which we
are accustomed; but the very great
disadvantage of price. The syrup
frostings will not cream at all. They
tire good in appearance and flavor, but
havt a nougat consistency. They

will not glaze over and must be eaten
with a fork. Still, why object to
nougat on cake instead of cream
candy? One may be just as much
of a "success" as the other.
Whether we will or no, we are
gradually learning the true flavors of
things. For so many years we hve
masked the taste of most of what we
cook under a deluge of sugar It is
queer even now to go back to the old
heavily sweetened foods. Try it once
and see. If you have really been
scanting the sugar for the last year
yJu will not want to go back to the
old way. My college students decided
recently not to order any sugar at all
for ice tea to be served at a luncheon,
because they had discovered the un
sweetened beverage was perfectly
palatable. It is surprising how sliced
bananas served with sliced oranges
or other tart fruit as dessert, makes
the use of sugar entirely unnecessary
and leaves the fruit flavors undiluted.

CHAPTER III
A Message From the Sky
(Ths King of the Wild Geese calls Peggy
to ths Northland to help him find the
Beautiful Stranger, with whom he has
fallen In love after rescuing her from a
Mink. In the previous chapter he telle
Peggy of his romance and of the Beautiful
Stranger's warning to flee (rem the ap
proaching bandit Geese.)
eT WOULD have fought the world
for the Beautiful Stranger," de
clared the King of the Wild Geese,
continuing his story. "Indeed, I was
particularly eager to do battle with
Rusty Face and his bandit flock. But
the Beautiful Stranger urged me to
escape.
" 'They will kill you,' she pleaded,
and I do not want them to kill you.'
.The tender look in her eyes as she
said this caused me to yield.
" 'I'll go now I cried. 'But I'll come
back after you. Never shall you wed
Rusty Face.'
" 'Come for me soon or it may be
too late,' was her farewell message as
1 took wing.
"Rusty Face and one of his lieu
tenants had raced on ahead of the
flock and now they tried to. cut me
off. But they were not counting on
the impetuous courage that comes
vith the first thrill of love. I charged
right into Rusty Face upsetting him
in full flight. Over and over he
flopped as he tumbled downward. I
Jwent right on after the lieutenant
so fiercely that he fled before me. I
overtook him and thumped him on the
Jiead with my beak until he was glad
to escape by a sudden dive.
"Honking my defiance I sped home
Jnd the Bandit Geese did not dare to
ollow."
The King paused and sighed deeply.
"And then?" suggested Peggy.
"That is the end," groaned the King,
gathered my army to rescue the
JBeautiful Stranger from the bandits,
but when 'we sought the Blue Geese,
jthey had fled. We have searched far
and , wide, but all in vain: They have
vanished. Princess Peggy, you must
help me ere my beloved becomes the
unwilling bride of Rusty Face."
Peggy carefully thought the matter
over before she answered.
"Doesn't your flock usually live in
one place in summer and another
place in winter, following the same
fiaths in the sky going back and
orth," she asked.
"Yes, all Geese do," replied the
King.
"Then we'll have to find where the
Blue Geese have their homes and
Jttatch their usual air paths."
"But these Blue Geese are bandits,"
exclaimed the King. "They are roving
raiders."
"Like the bandits of Mexico?" asked
Peggy.
"Why, they are the bandits of Mexi
co," replied the King. "That's where
they spend their winters."
"And that must be where they get
their banditting ways," exclaimed Peg
gy, who was a reader of the papers.
4. Jha King was so nervous he
couldn't stay still. He swam uneasily
back and forth. Peggy was now all
sympathy for him and sorry she had
at first made light of his romance. She
could see tflat it was a very serious
matter.
Suddenly something came whizzing
through the air. It fell with a loud
plunk into the lake, and on the in
stant the King dove after it. Peggy
stared in amazement at the swirl into
which he had vanished. Quickly he
bobbed up again like a cork and swam
to shore. There he dropped a large
white, pebble at Peggy's feet.
"Why, what is that?" she ex
claimed. "A message from the sky," an
swered the King excitedly.
He examined the pebble -igerly,
with Peggy leaning over his shoul
der. To her it seemed like almost
any other pebble that might ')e
picked up along the sea shore, but
upon looking closely she saw that
there were curious scratches upon its
surface. These the King was read
ing. "Oh, it is from the Beautiful
Stranger! Listen 1 "To my unknown
knight. If you would save me, you
must come quickly. Rusty Face
fears that I love you. Ere ihe Sun
again swings around the sky he will
start for a distant unknown Arctic
land. There he swears we shall be
wedded. I send this by a trusted
friend. Come!"
"We must go at once," cried the
King. "Fly7
"Wait," cried Peggy. "Didn't she
give any address?"
"I never thought of that," re
sponded the King. He looked care
fully over the pebble. "Here's some
thing. Oh, it says, 'I love you.' She
loves me, she loves me, she loves
me!" The King jumped up anc down
in a very unkingly way. Peggy was
imore practical.
What good will that do you if she
marries some one else?
to find her."
Peggy thought so hard she
frowned. Finding the Beautiful Stran
ger in the broad Arctic would be a
tremendous job. She examined the
pebble carefully. It was unusually
marked. Perhaps there was a clue in
this fact.
"If we could only find where this
queer pebble came from we might
find her," she mused.
The King looker at her. "How wise
you are. That's the very thing," he
honked. Grabbing the pebble, he
made off at full flight, with Peggy
chasing after. He went directly ti
his own flock, and to the oldest gan
der. "Father Blackfoot, where did this
pebble come from?" he asked.
Father Blackfoot looked at it, and
answered at once. "Why from the
Lake of Good Hunting in Labrador.
Any Goose ought to know that."
The King let out an exultant
honk. "To air, to air, my warriors,"
he shouted. "On to the Lake uf
Good Hunting."
(Tomorrow will be told how Peggy and
the King meet with an amazing surprise In
Labrador.)
Armenian Women Are
Forced to Be Servants
"You can not enter a house in Diar
bekir without finding from one to five
Armenian maidservants, even the
humblest shopkeepers having one,
who probably in the lifetime of her
parents would not have condescended
to speak a word to the master whom
she now has to serve to save her life,"
says the author of "Martyred Ar
menia," recently published in London.
"It is stated that the number of such
women and girls in the city is over 5,
000, mostly from Erzeroum, Khar
pout, and other vilayets."

Scottish Women Mobilized
For the Pulling of Flax
The experiment of mobilizing
woman power for agriculture in Scot
land has been successful, according to
the report of the Fife Women's Coun
ty Committee on Food Production,
transmitted by Consul H. Albert
Johnson.
The Flax Production committee of
the organization had aimed at culti
vating 2,000 acres in Fife, and con
tracts had been entered into with
farmers for 1,200 acres. Based on
English experience, about 800 work
ers would be needed for this acreage
to accomplish the work of flax pull
ing. In good weather a woman can
pull an acre in a week, the harvest
lasting from a fortnight to three or
four weeks.
Bosphorus Fish Have
Increased In Price
Dr. William W. Peet, who recently
returned ' to the United Staes from
Turkey, says that there are 80 varie
ties of edible fish in the Bosphorus.
During normal times great wagon
loads of these fis were carried
through Constantinople. A fish 20
inches long often sold for the equiva
lent of 5 cents. The poor were thus
able to obtain food for very little
money. Today a similar fish is sold
for ten times the usual price. "This
is not because there are fewer fish in
the Bosphorus," said Dr. Peet, "but
because there is no longer an ade
quate supply of fishermen."
Advice to
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Which Man?
Daar Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a
constant reader of "The Advice to love.
lorn." I also enjoy the other Interesting
and helpful thlnge you write for The Bee.
As t have a very difficult proportion before
me. I am asking your advice. I am a girl
lt years old. I have been keeping comoany
with a young man I know of 21. My mother
objects very much to my going with him.
ss he does not have a good reputation In
hla hems town, although he has always
treated ms fine. I can not give him up.
I have tried to forget hlra by thinking of
my work, but I can not. I think nt htm all
ths time. I am sure he loves me and he
has s!ked me to marry him, however, we
do not eipect to marry for at least two
years. Hers Is the trouble. I had been
going with young man for three yeara.
before he Joined the army and that has
been two yesrs ago. He saked me to marry
him before he left, but I did not promise
Ws have corresponded ever since. Mother
has always wanted me to marry this man.
He Is six years by senior and I am sure
I do not or rould not love him. I rrallce
that mnrrlage le the one step In life. What
ehnuld I do? Marry ths man I dn not love,
or go sgalnet my mother's will? triraae
answer In Ths Dally Ilea ) Thanking you
in advance. KITTY K.
Tou have evidently weighed this matter
very carefully, and after all, no one can really
help you. Tou must decide for yourself.
If yon cannot marry for at least two years
ou may be able to let ths matter drift
along without making a definite decision
for some time yet. Tou know best ths one
you lovs and that Is ths one I would choose,
by all means. I appreciate your feeling
fcr your mother and how eager you are to
carry out her wishes. I would not say
j anything that would cause you to do other
wise, for I am confident that she !a think
ing only of your good. Walt your two yean
and then If you are poaltivs that this man
Is the only one for you, there Is only one
courae open. If your feeling has chsnged
In that time, you will be glad that you
watted.
Making Good.
Dear Miss Fairfax- Omaha Bee. A few
weeks sgo I met a girl I love very much.
She confessed her love through a letter
which shs sent ms. Everything was all
right till I told my past, which Is not a
good one, but a year ago I changsd and
hsva held down a good position, I am well
liked by my employers (who know my
caae).
Ths young lady ssys I may see her once
a week and bscoms sngaged when I make
good. This will taks a long time, as I am
going to college when I can. IRVING.
My dear boy. If you want to give years
to study and sdueatloa and growth, don't
you think a wlfs would bs a pretty serious
handicap? Four years at college perhaps
two years of preparation; have you a right
to ask a girl to wait so long. Now that you
havs torn yourself away from your former
life and have felt ths stirrings of ambition,
wouldn't It bs better lt you devoted your.
slf to work for awhile? Tou know you
want to Justify your smployer, the good
friend who Is helping you to live down your
past. Don't be foolish about the girl. Surely
you would not want to cut her off from all
her friends and aoquslntances snd havs her
sit waiting for you tor ysara. Think how
you havs changed in ths lsst year. Tou
are going to continue growing and develop
ingdo you want to risk marriage In your
present stats? Don't you think you ars like
ly to grow away from this girl? Bs friends
with her, but don't try to bind her by any
promises and don't bs selfish enough to take
her away from other friendships.
Beatrice Fairfax, Omaha Beet Sometimes
life Is a lonesoms proportion. Three months
ago I cams to Omsha from Chlosgo, to be
housekeeper for a very nice family whom
I know In Chicago. Although these people
are very nice to ms and taks me. about In
their ear, I havs been unsuccessful In mak
ing acquaintances In my own class. I am a
Catholic girl and want only nlcs friends
among working people. Will you please
tell me through your column how to find
such acquaintance? LONKHOMM.
It seems a pity that there are so many
splendid people really suffering from lons
someness. Ths "Lonesoms Club" In Chi
cago Is a splendid thing and every city
should have one, but lt tskes the efforts
and financial backing of oar philanthropic
ally Inclined citizens. Ars there no church
societies to which you could belong? I
suggest that you go to ths public work
shop or the Red Cross in the Keeltne build
ing Tueadsy and Thursday nights, or both.
and thereby help with the war work snd
make new friends. Rest secured there are
many men snd girls In Omnha suffering
from loneeomenena snd they are experienc
ing the uma difficulty in "tnaklng friends.
Selfish Friend.
Pear Mies Fslrfax, Omaha Bee: I am a
young girl of IS. and have been keeping
company with a young man for the paat
three years. He never wants to take me any
place and doesn't want ma to a hoc I ate
with any young folks, only alt at Irome.
Can you give me some reaaon. why you
think he should do this? Do you think )
should go ahead and do as I care to ot
listen to him. If I aak him not to associ
ate with Immoral people ha says I am
Jealous. Do you think It would be best
for me to drop his friendship.
Please put snswer In Omsha Dally Bee.
ANXIOUS.
Tour friend Is very selfish and self-centered.
In my estimation. Has he given up
all bis friends for your saks? I hardly
think so snd I would havs an understand
ing with him or, better, I would make nsw
friends and forget this fellow who Is evi
dently not worthy of your friendship.
