The Broiling of Meats
There is a flavor in meat cooked di
rectly over a flame that is hard to du
plicate by more roundabout methods
of cooking. Whoever has enioved a
piece of steak cooked on the end of
a stick over a camp fire will agree
that such steak is food fit for the high
gods. Part of its deliciousness is no
doubt due to the charm of the out
doors, but part of it must be laid to
the means of cookmir.
It is possible to have real broiling
oyer a range fire after the fire has
died down to a bed of glowinsr coals;
and we have arranged our gas ovens
ao that meat may be cooked directly
tmder the flairre, the juice caught in a
pan below. Next best to broiling is
pan broiling, or cooking meat in a
very hot pan that has been slightly
.greased.
Value of Broiled Meat.
Ask an epicure why he wants
broiled steak and he will say because
it has the best flavor in the world,
which is perfectly true. Ask a doc
tor why he recommends broiled meat
and he will say because it is easy to
digest no heavy grease coating to
tax the powers of the digestive sys
tem. Ask the food administration
why they say "fry less and broil
more," and they will tell you because
broiling conserves the precious fat.
What Can You Broil?
Granting the desire to broil steaks
and chops, the very high price of such
cuts bars many people from their fre
quent use. But there is one kind of
inexpensive meat which lends itself
admirably to broiling or pan broiling.
That is hamburger steak. Ninety
cooks out of a hundred neglect their
opportunity to serve that meat in the
most delicious and healthful way, pre
ferring rather to overcook it in fat.
Co-Operation
Mis. Gross will be very glad to
receive suggestions for the home
economics column or to answer, as
far a. she is able, any questions
that her readers may ask.
WAR. PUZZLES
Because broiling is so simple it is
impossible not to make a good job of
it, but there are a few tricks to the
trade.
If the bars of the broiler are
greased the meat will not stick. A
piece of suet held on a fork is good
for greasing.
The broiler should be heated at
least five minutes before putting on
the meat
If there is much fat on the chops or
steak, remove as much as possible,
yet leave enough for the steak 'o
hold in one piece.
The issue or skin on the outer edge
of each chop should be removed, and
the tissue on steak should be
slashed in several places to prevent
the steak from curling up during
cooking.
Turn meat frequently during broil
ing, l once saw the ridiculous direc
tion, "Turn steak every 10 seconds for
the first three minutes advice which
would be a bit difficult to follow; but
steak and chops should be turned
every two or three minutes till both
sides are well searedr Then the turn
ing is not so necessary.
Do not broil meat for too long a
time even if it is desired well done.
Steak or chops one inch thick require
10 minutes to be medium well done-
less time if thinner. Too Ion? broil
ing will dry out the meat. The flame
should be high throughout the proc
ess unless the meat is desired well
done, in which case use a lower flame
for the last few minutes.

Good Things for Pickling to
Be Found in Omaha Markets
Several curiosities on the local mar
ket' are California grapes, Michigan
crab apples and' quinces, and they are
curiosities because they are no more
expensive than in former years. The
white California grapes sell at 10
cents a pound, the crab apples for
$1.50 a market basket an4 the quinces
at I2,l,4 cents a pouund. All, especial
ly the quinces and crab apples, are
just the thing for. making the most
delicious jellies, and now-is the time
to make them.
Damson plums and California
prune plums are also new to the mar
ket and fine for making preserves.
Peaches at about $3.50 a bushel and
"jelly grapes" at 45 cents a basket are
'in the ring as fine for making jelly
now. Also Seckel pears, which cost
about $4.50 a bushel.
For pickling there are all sorts of
fine things on the market. A market
basket full of dill cucumbers sells
around 75 cents, and the same quan
tity of pickling gherkins costs $1.75
to $2.25.. Is is said there are 700 of
these little gherkins in one market
basketful. i
Then there are pickling onions,
tiny little fellows, that sell for 60
cents a basket. Chili peppers are 10
cents a dozen, spice peppers two for 5
cents and green peppers 5 cents and
two for 5 cents.
Watermelons are still on hand at
about 5 cents a pound. Rocky Ford
cantaloupes are 10 and 15 cents each.
Sweet potatoes are very fine, and so
are potatoes, though the price of the
latter is still rather high.
Vomatoes have nearly disappeared
from the local market. There are still
a few of th- little, yellow preserving
tomatoes at 60 cents for an eight
pound basket.
Little pumpkins sell at 5 cents each.
Summer squash and crookneck squash
sell for 5 and 10 cents each.
Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Gift to Soldier.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I have been going- with a young: man
since February. Hla twenty-first birth
day will be next month. Would It be
proper for me to give him a token of
remembrance, aa he might leave for
camp soonT We are Just good friends.
If proper, what would be fitting?
I am dark complexioned and have
dark hair. What colors can I wear
best? I weigh 143 pounds and my
height is 5 feet 8 inches. Do you
think I weigh too much?
How are my writing and pelling?
A READER.
War has made aome changes in
rules of propriety and it is always
proper to make gifta to soldiers. Find
out what his needs are. Knit him a
sweater, give him a comfort kit, or
anything he wishes. The boys going
to camp need many little things which
they appreciate having their friends
supplying. Even though It is his
birthday, I believe it is better to ask
him what he lacks that he wold like
you to supply, as he cannot carry
many things with him and would not
want duplicates.
A general rule is that colors which
match the hair and eyes are most be
coming Whether your complexion is
clear and whether you have much
color are important in deciding on
how becoming various colors are.
Tour writing is good, but I had to
correct both spelling and grammar
before publishing your letter.
A Cinderella Letter.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 17 and
lost my mother a few months ago. I
am keeping house for the rest of the
family and am not at all satisfied, be
cause, when I try to correct my
younger sister, who is very wild, they
stick up for her. Now, Miss Fairfax,
I am fond of home and family, but
I am treated like a mere servant and
receive nothing for my work. I am
going about with a young man a few
years my senior, and he knows of all
this and wishes to marry me. He has
introduced me to his family. Now,
what Is your advice?
MISS UNHAPPT.
So many girls write me this type
of letter that I am honestly puzzled,
Is the little housekeeper unduly sensi
tive as the result of over-wrought
nerves, and are things really as bad
as they seem to her?
It Is Incredible In these days of
labor famine to think of such work
being unappreciated by one's family.
In the present instance, I wonder if it
would not be better for some older
member of the family to admonish
the "wild" younger si6ter. She might

Again the Difference In Age.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am 20 and in love with a man of 86.
Ho has asked me to marry him, but I
do not know what to answer. Will
you be kind enough to advise me what
to do? We both love each other very
dearly, but I am afraid to marry a
man so much older than myself. Do
you think the age question is so very
important? UNDINE D.
If you both love each other very
dearly, as you say, I do not see how a
question of a few years appears to
you in the light of an Insuperable diffi

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The other day I saw a. young
friend of mine in a uniform that was
new to me. It had" a long serviceable
cape of blue, a soft, comfortable hat
with a maroon cockade at one side,
and there was a blue tailored coat and
skirt. It was comfortable, durable,
and not too swaggeringly picturesque.
And the glorious work they were
about to engage in, over in France,
was the salvaging ot soldiers whose
infirmities necessitated their learning
a new manner of bread winning.
. The blind are to be taught weaving
and basketry. Men, who had lost
legs and would have to depend on a
sedentary occupation were to be
taught modelling, stencilling, china
decoration, jewelry making, wood
carving, and when they showed the
necessary ability they would be
taught painting.
Those who had lost arms would
tend looms, manipulated by foot
power, and so it went. This wonder
ful salvaging unit had taken account
of all the human wreckage of battle
and it would take a disabled man and
teach him a new way to make his liv
ang and enable him to keep his self
respect. After long weeks, and sometimes
months, in hospital, when a soldier
realizes he has got to begin life all
over again, and learfi a new occupation
besides, he is apt to feel discouraged.
He must face the future from an
angle entirely different from the one
he looked at life from before the war
then comes the time he needs
helpl
No useless, enervating pity but a
lift from a strong, helpful hand, is the
tonic that soldier requires. And here
it is that the soldiers' mothers, sweet
hearts and wives can do the biggest
war work woman is caoable of doing
when the boys come home to them.
Do Not Depress with Pity. j
Do not depress them with your
pity, but hearten them with your
courage if they should return
maimed.
Never in the history of the world
has there been so just a cause as the
one for which they are now fight
ing. Their sacrifices have given the
world a mighty shove in the right
direction. They are fighting for
human liberties, against a medieval
despotism, and the men who have
done that are entitled to love, admira
tion of respect not to pity.
After the war Is over and we begin
to travel in Europe again, it is likely
that we shall look on some of the
wrecked monuments of the world
with a greater reverence than we gave

Those battle-scarred Belgium towns
will make us realne more thoroughly
than could any telling, how that brave
little country, crouching in the path
of the invader, and suffering all
things, gave the rest of the world a
chance to awaken and rush to defend
itself.
Something of the same feeling, only
infinitely deeper, we must keep in our
hearts for these young heroes when
they return. They may come back
wraiths of their former splendid man
hood, but we must never forget that
they have given to the world some
thing infinitely greater than the glory
of youth and the strength of young
bodies.
And it is up to every woman to
make some soldier beginning life
over again on account of his infirmi
tiesfeel the tremendous admiration
we have for this second great battle
that must be fought out alone and
with none of the inspiring drama of
war.
Different from Man's Job.
At first this new business of toil
ing patiently at loom or lathe may
seen insignificant as 'compared to
the "man's job" that claimed the
soldier before the war. But we shall
not feel that way after our eyes have
been opened to the significance of
this new calling.
Many of these reclaimed soldiers
will doubtless be toiling at some
thing that will make the world more
beautiful some old handicraft that
we had all but forgotten in our sense
less rush and hurry. And he will put
into the long hours of patientVarving
or modeling some of the thoughts
that came to him under the stars out
on the battlefields waiting.
The War department, with com
mendable foresight,' is sending out
this band of picked workers to train
the first to suffer wreckage. It does
not wait till the war is over. It be
gins its work of reconstruction as
soon as the soldier is out of hospital.
It is the ambition of this country that
all soldiers who survive may be sal
vaged; that not one who has borne
arms in this glorious cause may be
come a public charge,
It is this magnificent initiative of the
American soldier that will bring him
through his second battle. And let
the woman he comes back to not for
get to cheer him on, to make him re
alize that she is prouder of him win
ning this second and greatest victory
in patience and silence than she was
when they pinned the Cross of War
on his breast.
