No question upon the food conser- vation membership card disturbs the housewife more than this keep a cook?’ You do keep a cook, even if you do your own cooking, a first-class cook, too, for most efficient wives can cook better with less waste than 75 per cent. of the hired cooks. This inquiry is made concerning hired cook, doubtless, because she is the unknown quantity—usually feeder of the garbage can. A correspondent writes: “Lately I heard of a cook who, coming to & new situation found half of a cold chick- en, perfectly good and fresh, refrigerator, threw it instantly into a garbage pal We have heard of cooks who threw dried bread, bits of butter when it was 50 cents a pound, stale cake and valuable grease into the garbage can. It is nothing for a hired cook to waste enough to raise a hop upon. Hence, this inquiry is strictly busi- ness, not impertirience; with- statis- tics showing the number cooks before him Mr. find a way to curb them wastefulness. Hoover may SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. To make boiled potatoes white let lie (pared) in cold water for two or three hours previous to cooking. Bread crumbs should always be used for covering articles for frying, as cracker crumbs absorb the grease. A little flour sprend over the top of cakes before they are iced will pre- vent the icing from running off. To polish nickel apply powdered coal wipe off. To make jelly glasses from bottles file a groove around the bottle deep enough to run a hot iron through and the top will come off. In making a loaf of cake line the tin with a broad strip of veaxed paper, leaving the ends hanging over the fin! Pour the cake mixture in and bake. The cake can then be removed from the tin by lifting the paper ends. To clean painted walls dissolve two ounces of borax in two quarts of wa- ter, add one teaspoon of ammonia and add half of the amount to a pail of water using no soap.

THE PROTECTION OF MIGRA- TORY BIRDS. Senator McLean’s bill for the pro- tection of migratory birds has become 2 law. It is a bill which ought to have had the support of all agriculturists 2s well as ail bird lovers. The long time which has elapsed since it was introduced shows how uccessfully good laws can be /held 4 a similar law a week before the American congress which would have iooked better leading than following. When the measure finally come to a vote there were six for it to one against it. Vote 43 to 7. This shows also that too many senators took no interest. The department of agriculture will determine the length of the close sea- son in accord with Canadian author- itles, .and appoint marshals who will enforce the severe~penalty for infrac- tiops; and all importing or exporting HOLDING UP THE GERMANS. It is reassuring to hear that the Russian forces are resisting the Ger- man and Austrian forces, many points successfully resuming the offensive and driving the enemy befors them. They have made their retreat, we have heard nothing like the losses which the enemy suffered a year ago the Russians made their suc- cessful advance. 5 When. the Russians swept Galicia and reached a point threatened Lemberg they had taken 200,000 prisoners, zuns and military have not learned that in their retreat the Russians suffered would compare with these. The Germans have slaughtered the retreating Russians whom their agents had deceived of army stores: are coming back, and will achleve success. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The iy at the cost of war, hut democracy s been slowly but surely winning its way. This country is perhaps the most conspicuous example of it, but England, France, Italv and some other countries are in line, and Russia and China are struggiing towards it. Democracy is bound to win because, notwithstanding . its weaknesses it tends to give the individual a decent chance; it makes the good of the in- dividual the key-note and recosnizes the rights and capacities: of man hood; it is not perfect, but it marks the nearest approach to perfection that anybody has been able to formu- late. Always in the struggle to make democracy effective, it has been op- posed by the idea that a larze part of the people must be subjected to the will and well-beinz of a few who dominate, not because of their abill- ties or wisdom or soodness, but be- cause of their inherited position in society; an idea which limits and re- stricts ‘the actlvities of the individ- ual and denies to him his fundamen- tal right to “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Unless curbed by democratic forms, such is the re- sult of an autocratic government: and where in a monarchy or empire there exists a military cast system to which even the civil authorities are subor- dinated. and which colors and directs the thoughts of those who rule, as is the case with Germany. the individ- ual man must necessarily be deprived of many of his opportunities. “The victory of Germany in this war means ‘that an outworn system of society which most of the world has been striving to throw off, will be perpetuated and extended. It means the victory of autocracy over dem- ocracy, and it means this not merely for Eirope, but for us: If we should escape the actusl domination of Ger- we would still be compelled, e self-defense, to maintain great armies and navies o change our zov- ernment into an effective military machine, and to treat with other countries upon the basis of armed duellists. That, to my mind, is the reason why we are fighting. “Just as in the Revolutionary war our forefythers fought England in or- der to win the chance to live in free dom, just as in the Civil war many of our fathers died in the belief that thev were strusgling to extend and make permanent that freedom, so we of today must bend every energy of body and mind to perpetuate and malle ‘safe that same freedom.” ashes with a wet cloth and when dry jent the antler {the one of vacke la shin day by healthy people who enjoy it as a beverage, and by those suffering from various organic disorders.

PATRIOTIC HANDBAGS. Red. white and blue reticules are ready for the summer girl. They are of knitted artificial silk. ad the colors are arranged in horizontal stripes in graduated widths. The handles are of red, white and blue cord, and a red, white and blue tassel swings from the bottom of the bag. One ingenious maid thought she would fazhion herself a patriotic hand- bag out of a small silk bag. but she speedily discovered that Old Glory is not to be put to any such uses. One may wear the flag as a decoration, on one’s costume. but it may not form any part of the custume or be incor- porated in parasol or handbag. Remember that the flag deserves highest reverence and respect and must not be put to any frivolous or trivial uses. GLAZED TILES. T¢ glazed tiles are spoited wash them with lemon juice, Jeave for a quarter of an hour and thei polish with a soft cloth. Tiles should not be washed. but only rubbed with a damp cloth and polish- ed with a little skim milk and water. One of the best polishers for glazed tiles is a rag on which paraffin has been, sprinkled, but it shouid only be used before a fire is lit. TALL COLLARS. Somehow or other the high, choker stock collar looks much better with a dashing, uniformiike tailleur. It makes its wearer trim and meat around the throat and is distinctly more military in effect than a low collar and V shap- e _neck opening. Smart new collars of white organ- ie have two turnovers attached to a tall, buitoned stock, and below the stock hangs a pleated cascade jabot. Turnovers and jahot are stitched with Ted and blue sewing silk. or piped W red and biue linen. 2 DICTATES OF FASHION, It is interesting to note how far- reaching the polka dot is.

The hairdresses all over the land are groaning in dismay over the price they have to pay for this common ar- ticle, and women are wondering, in high amusemen:, if it will soon be necessary to revert to the medieval fashion of plaiting the hair down the back and winding a ribbon through it. The hairdressers, however, have an. other idea to suggest, which’is - for women to adopt the ultra-fashionabie method of bobbing the hair. Fully two dozen of the most fashionable women in New York society have adopted this coiffure of short, curled hair, a la bebe, as the Frepch call it, and the bairdressers say that if it is univer- sally adopted it will bring more money to their purse than they have maae in years. SEWING HINTS. In sewing lace on a hem, stitch the lace on the wrong side (of the lace) as far down the edge of the goods as vou wish the bottom of the hem to be. Then foid back the cloth and stitch the hem into place. This is more durable and much neater than if done by hand. In “letting in” Insertion, stitch the insertion into the goods at both edges on the right side of the material. Then on the wrong side. Cut the goods through the middle of the two rows of stitching. Turn back the edges and stitch down. In hemming napkins, put the hem- mer attachment on the machine with- out thread, turn an even hem and then hem afterward by hard. This line of accurate_perforations is very easy to follow. In hemstitching draw the threads and baste the hem neatly. {the cherries and pound the edge as VOILES ARE POPULAR. The voiles are always charming, soft, sheer, dainty and excellent in color and ‘desizn. At least a large percentage of the high grade cotton voiles measure up to this standard, and this season very deiightful things are done with the fine cotton voiles checked jn white and color. The checks are of different _size: but the rather.small checks are per- haps the prettiest, and these in pink and white, llac and_white, green and white, etc, make fascinating little frocks of a very simple type with pos- sibly demure handkerchief collars of sheer whit> or with wide bands of white voiles or ieavier white on skirt bottom, tunic bottom, loose open sieeves, etc. ‘White voiles with black design, dot, sprig, outlining airge flower groups, are good looking, especially when laid over delicate pink or flesh color. STAND CORRECTLY! The correct standing attitude is to place your heels nearly together, the toes pointed slightly outward, the legs rigid, the trunk and head held erect, and the shoulders somewhat back, s0 the chest will expand frecly. The arms should hang easily at the sides, the fingers slightly bent, with the thumbs in_front. HOMEMADE COUCH. In small apartments where an extra bed is needed, fcz which there is mo separate room, take a single iron bed and have a plumber cut off the whole top frame to the lowest crossbar that lield the frame of the spring, a mat- ter of ten minutes’ work.

Your Post of Honer. You are called to serve as a soldier in the National Army, because that is one of your obligations as a citizen of the United States. The citizens of a ropublic must always be ready in the kour of need to leave their own homes and take up arms in defense of their rights and prineiples Otherwise the Republic could mot long continue to exist. The men who now enter mili- tary service deserve the gratitude and respect of their fellow citizens. You are doubtiess making a heavy sacrifice in order to perform this duty to your country. Hundred of thou- sands of other young men and their families are’ face to face with similar sacrifices. All our citizens will sooner or later be called upon, each to bear his or her share of the burden. Men and wome; rich and poor, all alike must do whatever necessary and must give up whatever Is necessary. For no personal interests or feelings can be permitted to stand in the way at a time when the safoty and honor of the country are at ake. As a citizen soldier you are chosen America is justly proud of the sol- dlers of the past who have won for us the rights today denied and put in serious danger by the high-handed attacks of the German government. America will be no less proud of you, as you fight to uphold those rights. lgreat. As warfare is today conduct- ed the individual soldier counts for more than ever before. Your, own skill and bravery, no matter how Rum- ble rank, may easily be import- ant factors in deciding whether an ehmagement is to be won or lost. You can not depend upon anyone else to jcarry this personal responsibility for you: vou must depend upon yourself. Americans _are well-fitted to meet this test.

Are you helping to feed a soldier by feeding vourseif next winter with pro- | duce from vour war garder? says to- day’s bulletin from the national emer- gency food garden commission of | Washington. Can all you can is the slogan, and to further its nation-wide compaign being conducted with the co-operation of this mewspaper every der can have a canning and drying manual who will sand a tivo-cent stamp to the commission at Maryland Hldg. to pay the postage. Tod lerson is on peppers. There are several ways for chnning peppers. Wash red peppers and slice off stem end, remove seeds and cut crosswise into rings with scissors. Drop slices into boiling water for two min- ites and then let stand in very cold water for ten minutes. Drain, pack ‘nto jars and fill to overflowlng with a boiling syrup of two cups sugar nid a quart of vinegar. Seal lars-at once and invert to cool. Place sweet green peppers In oven until the skin blisters. peel and pack into hot jars. Add boiling water to fill jars wiih a level teaspoon of salt to the quart, adjust #nd partially tighten tops and sterilize in boiling water for an hour and a half. . Remove fars, tighten tops and invert to ceol In place free from Araughts. The Spanish pimentos should be pre- pared as_above and packed in jars without the addition of any water. Sterilize for thirty minutes and seal jars immediately. This process brings out a thick liquor which covers the peppers in het jars and renders the addition of water unnecessary. For drying, peppers may be split down the side. the seeds removed and the fruit dried at once, or the peppers mav be placed in the oven tiil the skin blisters, then peeled and treated as above, If destred. dry peppers whole b stringing on stout thread. or the whole plant may be hung up to dry. The small sweet red peppers may be spread in thin layers and -dried as in the case of berries. Do not use too great heat In any case.

The incidents however, ro typical of the army. Thousands of similar stories might be told. They represent the spirit t will inspire he national army when the time comes to show the stuff of which it is | made. Tales of heroic courage can be found {in the annals of all armies and of all nations. But the American army has its own special tradition, which these incidents illustrate. It is the tradition of intelligence, self-reliance. and indd- vidual daring on the part of men serv- ing in the ranRs. The Individual Soldier Counts. Other things being equal, an army made up of self-reliant, thinking men | has a great advantage over a merely machine-like army, and this is espec- ially true in present-day warfare. Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott_Chief of Staff, U. S. A.. remarks on this point The conditions under which modern wars are fought are ever making in- |creasing demands on the individual coldier. * * * The individual sol- dier must know how to interpret ac- curately orders and signals, for the fire may often so isolate him from his leader and comrades. perhaps only a step away, that he may be thrown on his own initiative in making his actions conform to those of the whole line: he may have to use his own judgment in opening fire, in ad- vancing, in intrenching. Fair Play, A second tradition of the American army, which need only be mentioned f1s that of fighting fairly and treating even the enemy with as much human- ity as his own conduct will permit. As for slaugtering or enslaving the eivil ian population of captured teritory. attacking prisoners or assaulting wom- en. American soldiers would as little commit such crimes in time of war as in time of peace. In this respect most of the civilized nations of ‘the world think alike Fighting for Rights and Principles. There is a third splendid tradition of the American army which vou will help to carry forward. ' It has fought always and everywhere in defense of principles and rights—never merely for territory and for power.
