THE REE : OMAHA, SATURDAY. OCTOBEK 19'.!r Hot Bread in Order Now ho is there that docs not long for a bite of hot bread now and then especially now that the davs are firowniK colder? Instead of that rirh cake, suppose you try tea bis cuit and honey ou ttie family some niRlit for dessert. To make a dainty tea biscuit, sift together two measuring cups flour with one-half teaspoon of salt and four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Into this rub a rounding tablespoon of butter or butter sub stitute. Cut in sufficient sweet milk to make a soft dough. Toss on a lightly floured board. Pat into a rectangle. Cut into rounds about ouc-half inch in thickness. Place on m greased plate. Brush over with milk. Bake in a quick over about 12 minutes. Biscuit may be made more or less rich as desired. Part rye or graham flour may be used. If the biscuit is not to be cut, makethe dough a little less stiff and drop it from the spoon on to a greased plate. The same proportions may be used for muffins. After the dry in gredients are mixed and sifted add one well-beateri egg to one cup of milk before stirring it into the dry ingredients. The butter may be melted and beaten in last. Then fill greased muffin, cups half full cf the mixture and bake in a moderate oven about 20 minutes, or until nicely browned. . Among the hot breads we inclv.dc the pancake. Pancakes must be hot and right from the griddle in order to be at their best. Use the same mixture suggested for muffins, but thin it down by the addition of more milk until it runs front the spoon. The addition of a tablespoon of sugar hclpS to brown the cakes. When the bubbles appear in the cake and the edges are done that is the time to turn the cake. Wait for this time, for a twice turned cake" is heavy. Pile the cakes one upon an other to keep them warm, v Part cornmeal, scalded and added to the mixture, makes a pleasing variation. Rye floor in part is also a variation. If you have a waffle iron the mix ture may be cooked by the spoonful on the hot, well-oiled iron. In the case of waffles, however, a richer mixture is desirable. Two eggs are better than one. But if you have a little more time, try making some yeast risen buns or rolls. Into a mixing bowi put one-fourth teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of sugar, one tablespoon of butter, half a cup of scalded milk and halp a cup of cold water. Add a yeast cake stirred until smooth in a very little warm not hot water. Beat in sufficient flour to4 make a drop batter. Beat well and then add sufficient more flour to make a soft daugh. Knead well on the board, using flour until the dough does not stick to the hands or the board. Cover and let stand for about ttiree hours. Reknead and shape into desired shape. Brush over with fat or milk and cover. When the lollJias doubled its bulk, the greased pan may be slipped into the hot oven and the rolls baked until brown, This same mixture may be cut into strips and braided. It may be sprinkled with chopptd nuts, cin namon and sugar. Then it may be on a greased pan in a moderate oven. Raking depends quite as much upon a good oven as it does upon the materials .used and the method of handling. If you have a rented gas range be sure it is working well. No oven of this type should take twenty minutes to heat, as some readers report. A gas oven that does not come to a proper heat in five minutes for .ordinary baking is faulty. It will pay you to have your oven gone over before you start the winter's baking. Cookery Problems Standard Formula for Jam. Two pound! rhubarb, two pounds sugar, two pound! fruit (strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, apricots or peaches.) Put rhubarb through the food chopper, catching the juice that drips down from near the crank, or cut in small pieces. Add to rhubarb with the sugar. Wash and remove stems or skins from fruit as usual. Put with other ingredients and . when sugar is dissolved, place on tRe fire and cook, stirring occasionally until of the desired consistency. If a less tart jam is preferred, one pound of rhubarb may be used instead of two pounds and only one and one-half pounds of sugar will be required. If a sweeter jam is desired, . three pounds of sugar may bq used, or even four pounds. If the mixture is cooked until very thick, it may be put into sterile glasses. and, when cool, covered with melted paraffin and tin covers. If a soft jam is pre ferred, it can be put into glass jars with new rubbers and glass tops, partially sealed, and sterilized by covering with boiling water and boiling for ten minutes. Seal and store. Watercress Soup. Wash and pare four good-sized potatoes and boil them until tender in six cupfuls of water to which one teaspoonfnl of- salt has been added. Put the boiled potatoes, while hot. through a vegetable ricer or sieve. To this puree add the po tato water, let come to a boil, and thicken slightly with one 'table spoonful each of flour and butter cooked together. Add two cupfuls of watercress chopped fine, two tea spoonfuls of salt, and three-eighths teaspoonful of pepper. To measure the watercress, press it down into ie cud and then chop. Serve hot rim croutons. If a thinner soup is desired, 'add one cupful of hot water or milk, preferably milk. Graham Gems. One quart sour milk, level tea spoonful soda, one-half cupful sugar, one teaspoonful salt, flour enough to make a stiff batter. vDrop by spoonfuls in gem pan and bake in hot oven. Buttermilk Gems. Two cupfuls buttermilk, one-half cupful cream, one teaspoonful soda dissolved in a cupful buttermilk. Stir cfuite, thictfT Meat Loaf. When there are no breadcrumbs leadv for the salmon or meat loaf, u,e 'the same quantity of oatmeal this gives a palatable change, and u an "evfer ready" besides D.A.R. Hostess Mrs. E. E. Stanficld was hostess a week ago to the opening meeting of "Major Isaac Sadler chapter, D. A. R. She is treasurer of the chapter. Mrs. Stanficld is also second vice president of the Omaha Woman's club. What's What By HELEN DECIE. Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Alfred Nicolovius. a field worker of the National Young Women's Christian association. New York City, arrived in Omaha Thurs day, to confer yth Mi Ora John son, director of the rooms registry department of the local Y. W. C. A. Miss Johnson assumed the position of rooms registry director Septem ber 1, succeeding Miss Pauline Hud son, who retired because of illness. Miss Johnson was general secre tary of the Council Bluffs Y. W. C. A. for six years. While the rooms registry depart ment of the Omaha association is a comparatively new field of work. Mrs. Nicolovius stated Friday after investigating the work already ac complished, that she was much gratified with the progress made. During the month of September Miss Johnson placed 142 girls in ap proved rooms, 5 of this number were transient's in the city for the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival. Before listing a room for rent, Miss Johnson investigates person ally, making certain that it is a suit able home for a girl alone in the city. In her work. Miss Johnson says she finds a ready response on the part of the housekeeper for parlor privileges." Mrs. Nicolo vius was particularly gratified with this feature of the work in Omaha, as she says in the cities in the east, the rooms registry departments ex perience difficulty in securing rooms with this privilege. At the Central branch, Seventeenth and St. Marys avenue, one of the large rest rooms has been converted into a dormitory for the accommo dation of transient guests. During the month of September, 77 women and girls, who came to the asso ciation in the evening looking for a room for the night were accom modated tliere. For the wncfit of the woman or girl who comes to the citv to con sult with her physician or to visit a sick friend in the hospital, Miss Johnson has listed a limited num ber cf rooms for transients. A leading metallurgical firm at Ghent, Belgium, has decided to em ploy 100 women for the operation of lathes. RS Washing Spots. In washing a spot from any gar ment, either with water or any pre pared cleanser, first stretch the por tion of goods to be cleaned over a pair of embroidery hoops. Leave the garment on the hoops until the spot has dried. This simple precaution saves the hopelessly wrinkled condition which ensues from wetting one small part of a dry garment.

Washington Market 1407 DOUGLAS STREET The illustrated scene might seem incredible had it not been "taken from life." In "joshing'' the waitress in the presence of the young wom an who is their guest, the two men are placing both women in a false position. The guest is only em barrassed, but the waitress is seri ously annoyed. ' Instinctively, every woman hates an awkward situation. While the war was on we heard much about the polished manners which our young men would import from France into America, as though cantonment and trench and ports-of-departure were schools of deport ment 1 "Over there," it was natural and grateful to be chummy with the Salvation Army lassies, who fed the A. E. F. with coffee and doughnuts, ad lib. It wa's quite "spoofing" later to bandy jests with the sophisticated attendants in the boulevard cafes, but if the pictured waitress could be provoked into retort, she might tell the men that their camp manners should have been stored away with their camp uniforms. (Copyright, 1920, by I'ublie Ledger Co.) Activities of Women Miss Alice S. Tyler, director of the Western Reserve University Library School at Cleveland, O., has been elected president of the Ameri can Library association. She is the third woman elected to the chief of fice of this organization of more than 4,000 librarians. Miss Laura Clay, one of the women delegates to the democratic national convention, who received one vote for the democratic presi dential nomination, was the first woman to receive such an honor in the convention of cither of the two great political parties. The Florence Nightingale medal, the highest honor to which any mem ber of the nursing profession may aspire, has recently been awarded to Miss Florence M. Johnson, of New York Ciry, for distinguished service during the world war. Only six American women have been so decorated. Mrs. Deep Xarayau Singh, leader of the feminist movement in India, was the frirst woman student to at tend the Presidency College of Cal cutta, a college for men, where she received master of art degrees in philosophy and English literature. She was also the first Indian woman in Calcutta to drive an automobile, ride a bicycle or go ud in an aeroplane. Saturday Specials Sunkist Flour, 24-lb. Sack, $1.68 Karo Syrup, 10-lb.
