Dundee Woman Inaugurates
Unique Sugar Saving Plan
The sugar situation is the one topic
of conversation, from the wholesale
merchant down to the housewife.
Every home-maker . has been ap
pointed a food controller in her own
home, and those who have a loyal,
patriotic spirit, instead of complain
ing about present conditions, should
give thanks that they have food to
control.
To save sugar we can reduce the
given amount in almost any recipe
without serious results either as to
flavor or texture. If dates, raisi..3,
figs or prunes are used with break
fast foods, in muffins, cookies or cakes,
little sugar need be added, as these
fruits contain so much natural sugar.
It proves quite satisfactory to substi
tute corn syrup for sugar, asing half
the amount of sugar required and an
equal amount of syrup. Honey, glu
cose and corn syrup are acceptable in
nearly all cases where sugar is re
quired. Where honey is available
one cup will sweeten a dish about
as much as an equal amount of sugar.
The water in the honey will reduce

Electric Fans Expedite
Convalescence 50 Per Cent
The Nebraska Women's Christian
Temperance union has just completed
payment on four motor field kitchens,
or rolling canteens, as they are some
times called, for the French and Ital
ian fronts. Military authorities give
great credit to these wagons as a
method of furnishing refreshment to
the worn and hungry men just from
the front lines. One of these kitchens
has been financed by the women of
Otoe county, and one by those of
Garfield county. The other two have
come from contributions from all
over the state. The wagons will bear
the inscription. "Presented by fthe
Nebraska Women's Christian Tem
perance Union," and those given by
counties will bear the name ot the
county. The first impulse was to tup
ply one kitchen, but the old adage has
proven true, that the more you give
the more you want to give," and so, in
spite of a multiplicity of drives, the
result has been four kitchens instead
of one.
At Fort Crook.
This record of organized activity
has been in addition to supply equip
ment for the Fort Crook hospital at
the beginning of mobilization 4,000
comfort bags presented to Nebraska
boys, 60,000 soldiers' scripture man
uals distributed; nearly $100 spent in
Easter flowers for the sick lads at
Fort Riley, and a quantity of jellie3,
jams and other sweets, sufficient to
supply every Nebraska man with a
generous gift sent to Camp Cody.
Omaha Woman Who I
Has a Galli Gurci
Voice
4-
Omaha has many celebrities to its
credit, but now comes Mrs. Ethel
Richardson with a Galli Curd voice,
accordiing to critics, and Mr. Innes,
who has engaged her as soloist for the
season with his famous Chautauqua
band.
Mrs. Richardson has systematized
her whole life, she says, in order that
she might have time to study music
and for years worked with the in
tention of becoming a concert
pianist. Fate plays queer tricks, how
ever, to turn mortals into their
destiny and bring to light their most
precious gifts. Not until Mrs. Rich
ardson suffered an accident to her
right hand did she give her voice first
place, but from that time on the
richness of her wonderfully sweet
coloratura soprano voice took all hon
ors from the lesser lights.
Like, and yetV unlike Anna Case,
Mrs. Richardson has scrubbed floors,
but they were not the floors of the
court house or some famous Ma
sonic temple they were the floors of
her own home whidh she declares
she never neglected a minute.
Mr. Innes predicts for his recent
"find" a remarkable and luminous
career.

one-fourth cup per cup of honey.
A Far-Sighted Woman.
Some interesting experiences are
related about the new sugar require
ments: - One lady in Dundee puts the daily
allowance of sugar in the sugar bowl
each morning, and whatever is left at
the close of the day is emptied into a
dish in the pantry. When a sufficient
amount has. been accumulated the
family may have a pie or cake. As
there are two cups of sugar to the
pound and 16 level tablespoonfuls of
sugar in a cup, it is easy to figure out
the rlaitv allowance.
The food thrift program includes
the drying of truits ana vegetaDies.
This method of food preservation has
its advantages and is economical. Lit
tle storage space is required for dried
foods, there is scarcely any loss of
flavor or food value, and dried prod
ucts can be stored in receptacles that
cannot be used for canning.
Drying is a simple process and the
cost very slight. The heat of the
oven or that of the sun will do the
work. Do not wait until you have a
bushel of beans, carrots or corn, but
dry a little each day as the supply is
available. Full information may be
secured at any of the instruction
classes or by special appointment,

Electric Fans.
Mrs. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
national superintendent of soldiers'
and" sailors' work, recently wrote to
the authorities in charge of hospitals
at every United States cantonment
asking about the need for electric fans
and how many could be used. One
hospital wired at once, "Send 100
fans," and from every cantonment
came the grateful appeal for that spe
cies of comfort that means so much
to sick men. One officer declared it
would expedite convalescence 50 per
cent. So immediate was the response
that extraordinary means are being
used to fill the need.
Nebraska is constituent to Fort Ri
ley and her fans will go there. They
will be provided through the National
Women s Christian Temperance union
by an arrangement Mrs. Hobson has
made with a wholesale house, at the
price of $25 per fan. An apReal is
beinar made to Nebraska -communities
to. secure funds for at least one fan
and ( send it through the-State Wo
men s Christian Temperance union at
once.
The state officers met in Lincoln

nurses, has enrolled with the depart

with that valiant army of women who
are ministering to the sick and wound

Mrs. Rinehart is expecting a sum

ly. She has closed her home in New
York, has packed the nursing equip
ment provided by the Red Cross and
has put her personal affairs in order
in preparation for a protracted stay
in France.
Mrs. Rinehart is a graduate nurse.
She received her training in a hospital
in Pittsburgh, retiring from nursing
service and devoting herself to writ
ing after her marriage to the chief
surgeon of the hospital.
She had no qualms, she says, about
the work that may be given to her to
do abroad. No matter what the task
is, she cheerfully will perform it, she
added.
"I am perfectly willing to scrub
floors," she said when she applied for
enrollment at the headquarters of the
nursing department of the Red Cross.
"The time has come for American
women to work with their hands. I
cannot, just now, think of anything

"No longer," she continued, "can a
woman of leisure she who is not
self-supporting and who has neither
duties nor dependents sit back with
folded hands doing only the pleasant
tasks which have to do with war
service.
"She is needed in the hospitals, in

is fitted to be a trained nurse or a

SCARCITY OF
FUR WORKERS
NOW LOOMS U
It doesn't make any difference who
repairs your old furs, or, who makes

Dresher. Brotnerg, the Immense

Farnam St., Omaha, already have oc
casion to know that there is an un
precedented shortage of expert fur
workers, and this shortage is becom
ing more pronounced each day.
There never were any too many ex
pert fur workers in the first place, so,
when one notes how great the inroad
made by the military drafts one
realizes that the field is curtailed.
Add to this the future drafts, and the
possibilities of fur workers engaging
in other war work..
Dresher Brothers are most sincere
when they say: "Bring in your fur
pieces to be repaired, or have new
pieces made up during the summer
months.' Ym'H get a cheaper price
that way anyway, for furriers al
ways make inducements during the
hot season.
Dreshers also wish tff call to the
attention of the "neglectful few"
that their (Dresher's) Concrete and
Steel Fur Storage Vaults have still
room for a few more lots of furs for
storage oyer the summer. If you
wish absolute safety and insurance

If I do not tell you, then you may not know.
As you need to vote, you ought to know. If
I do not tell you, no one may. I am one of the
Judges of our State Supreme Court, and I am
seeking a second term.
1. I hope to be nominated at the Nonpar
tisan Primary of August 20th. After that I
hope to be elected at the November election.
For six and a half years I have tried hard to
make you a good Judge. I have stood for what
I thought was right. My majority opinions and
dissents show that I have the habit of reading
the evidence in the cases I try to decide.
2. I have beaten no man because of pre
judice against his lawyers. I have no enemies
to punish with my decisions.
- 3. I was a clerk and student in the law
office of George E. Perrin and William R. Man
love, leading lawyers of Indianapolis. Later I
attended the law school at that city. Judge
Samuel E. Perkins, of the Indiana Supreme
Court, was the dean of the school and principal
instructor. David E. McDonald was one of the
lecturers. I was in the same class with Addison
C. Harris, afterward one of the most dis
tinguished lawyers in the state, and reputed to
have earned more than a million dollars by his
profession. lie Was our Representative at
Trieste, Austria, and entertained Admiral Dewey
there when on his triumphal trip home from the
Philippines. I supported myself at the law
school by teaching school and by raising hogs
and wheat on a rented farm.
4. At the end of 14 years as a practicing
lawyer, I was appointed District Judge. At the
succeeding election, I was elected for the re
mainder of the term, and afterwards for a suc
Atlantic to the Pacific at the request
ot the secretary of war.
"But the time for the onlooker has
gone by. Nationally, we must recog
nize this. There is no use deluding
ourselves by the occasional small suc
cesses which bgin to mark the turn
of the scale. The big thing is still be
fore us. AVe are still merely in our
period of preparation. There is a long
pull ahead and to win will require the
collective individual effort of every
man, woman and child with two
strong hands and a brain to use them.
"I am going to nurse simply because
I should be ashamed not to do so. I
have always been proud of my hospital
training, but never so proud as I am
today, when it gives me something to

ceeding term. The district contained the mala
cattle interests of the state, and much wealth.
It covered about one-third of the territory of
the state. After my service as Judge of the
District Court, I practiced law without interrup
tion for 20 years, and until I entered upon my
present position as Judge of the Supreme Court.
5. As a lawyer I looked after the things in
my cases which required care, including the
preparation of instructions to the jury, taking
exceptions to the ruling of the court, settling
bills of exceptions, the writing of briefs in the
Supreme Court, the agument of the case there,
and the technical things by which cases are
many times inadvertently lost Many of the
cases were given me by other lawyers. I have
always enjoyed the confidence of the Bar as a
whole. Whether as a District Judge or as s
Supreme Judge, I have tried to give every
lawyer and every litigant a fair deal.
6. I was born in Ohio, and have attended
school in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. I was
given credit for some merit in English com
position, excelled in arithmetic and algebra, did
moderately well in Geometry, was to the front
in declamation and active in debate.
7. For eight years I enjoyed the benefit
of a literary and debating society in Indiana,
where the participants were lawyers, judges,
editors, colonels and one majbr general.
' 8. I know of no complaint concerning the
delay of our court, as it is at present consti
tuted. I became a member of it early in Janu
ary, 1912. Since that time it has gained more
than two years, and is now less than one year
behind in its work. In the next year it is rea
sonable to expect that it will gain six months
more. I think it deserves the commendation of
the public for its efficient and rapid work. -

in spending five weeks with the Bel
gian army at the front
She crossed No Man s Land, spent
several days at General Foch's head
quarters and also visited French and
British trenches. But she has no de
sire to repeat these experiences as
such.
"I want to work," she resumed, "and
I believe that every trained woman in
the country should work, too. ' Not
long ago a boy wrote me from a hos
pital in France. He had been wounded
three times and was about to go back
again to the trenches.
"T am just going to keep on,' he
wrote. 'And perhaps out of all this
wretchedness and struggle, I shall gain
some honorable advancement for my
soul.' He was killed two weeks later.
So it seems to me that the woman
who can, should gain this honorable
advancement for her soul. We can
not gain it through fighting. We must
gain it through service."
