WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
Your Lad and My Lad 
I )own toward the deep blue water, march¬ 
ing to throb of drum, 
From city street and country lane the 
lines of khaki come ; 
The rumbling guns, the sturdy tread, are 
full of grim appeal, 
While rays of western sun.shine flash back 
from burnished steel. 
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame the 
serried ranks advance; 
.And your dear lad and my dear lad are 
on their way to France. 
A sob clings choking in the throat, as file 
on file sweep by, 
F.etween those cheering multitudes, to 
where the great ships lie; 
The batteries halt, the columns wheof. to 
clear-toned bugle call. 
With shoulders squared and faces front 
they stand a khaki wall. 
Tears shine on every watcher's check, 
love speaks in every glance; 
For your dear lad and my dear had are 
on their way to France. 
are sold to civilians. are contin¬ 
ually circulated by evil-minded or irre¬ 
sponsible persons. It is hardly nece.ssary 
to tell any intelligent per.son that such 
stories are absolutely false, but it is also 
well to remember that those who circu¬ 
late such slanders are liable to criminal 
prosecution under Federal law. It is the 
duty of every patriotic citizen not only to 
contradict such stories, but also to report 
the source from which they were dissem¬ 
inated to the nearest branch of the Red 
Cross, so that the scandal-mongers may 
be repressed.

Who can tell us how to make corn- 
sticks? A special pan for making them 
costs 65 cents at one large store, but we 
do not have the recipe. Everyone is inter¬ 
ested in every form of cornbread these 
days.

A irlGHLY-RECOMMENDED pie filling Con¬ 
sists of eight tablespoonfuls bread crumbs, 
seven tablespoonfuls molasses, the grated 
yellow rind and juice of one lemon, and a 
liefore them, through a mist of ye.ars. in 
soldiers’ buff or blue. 
Rrave comrades from a thousand fields 
watdi now in proud review; 
The same old Flag, the same old Faith— 
the Freedom of the World— 
Spells duty in those flapping foils above 
long ninks unfurled. 
Strong are the hearts which bear along 
Democracy’s advance. 
As your dear lad and my dear Ind go on 
their way to France. 
The word rings out; a million feet transp 
forward on the road. 
Along that path of sacrifice o’er which 
their father’s strode. 
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame, with 
cheers on smiling lips, 
d’hese fighting men of ’17 move onward 
to their ships. 
Xor even love may hold them baek. or 
h.alt that stern advance. 
As your dear lad and my dear lad go on 
their w'ay to France.

The “Official Bulletin” of November 3 
printed the following warning, issued by 
the Food Administration : 
Reports have reached the United {States 
Food Administration that men claiming 
to be its representatives h.ave attempted 
to buy the home-canned products put up 
b.v housewives in various parts of the 
country, claiming that they did this by 
order of the Food Admin'istration. 
These men are impostors, the Food Ad¬ 
ministration never having sanctioned 
their policy or activities. Former rumors 
that the Government contemplated the 
commandeering of home-canned goods also 
have been officially denied. 
Treason takes many forms these days, 
and none more subtle or mischievous than 
when it^ Btrikes at the home, and works 
on the inexperience of unsuspecting 
women.

The Food Administration issued rn or¬ 
der November 6 forbidding the canning of 
dried beans and dried peas without a 
special Government permit. These two 
comraoditie.s can be marketed ju.st as well 
without canning, and it is necessary to 
conserve the tinplate supply for putting 
up perishables. For similar reasons we 
have practiced the drying of green Lima 
beans instead of canning them, so that 
the preserve jars might be used for perish¬ 
able fruits and vegetables. Green Limas 
dr>' excellently, and retain their full fla¬ 
vor, and the drying process costs nothing. 
Many people dislike rabbit or Belgian 
hare, but this inexpensive meat is excel¬ 
lent fried, if care is taken with it. It 
should be dressed, cut up in neat pieces, 
and soaked several hours in salt water, 
then drained, and simmered in water to 
cover, with one onion, two bay leaves, 
pepper and salt. Cook until tender, but 
not so soft that it will drop apart. Heat 
fat in frying-pan till very hot; roll the 
pieces of meat in dry cracker dust and 
fry brown. The liquid in which the rab¬ 
bit was cooked is rather strongly flavored 
for soup, but Avill be appreciated by the 
hens if used to mix their mash.

Lasy to Make up Jell-O 
For making the newest things in 
desserts and salads, Jell-O is being 
used by the best cooks as well as 
by women in millions of homes 
who do all of the work about the 
house as well as the cooking. 
Cooks use Jell-O because it is 
more satisfactory than anything else 
for the finest desserts and salads. 
Women generally use 
first of all, because better things 
can be made of it, at the price, than 
anything else. 
In wealthy homes Jell-O is pop¬ 
ular because it is too good to go 
without. 
In homes of people of moderate 
means it is a part of the noon-day 
meal regularly for the reason that it 
costs only 10 cents and can be made 
up into the most delicious and beau¬ 
tiful desserts and other dishes by 
any woman, cook or no cook, even 
if she can only “boil water.” 
Jell-O is sold at the low price of 
10 cents a package in all grocery 
stores and general stores everywhere 
in America. There are seven dif¬ 
ferent fruit flavors, as follows; 
Raspberry, Strawberry, Lemon, 
Orange, Cherry, Peach, Chocolate. 
The new Jell-O Book describes 
new Jell-O salads, “whips,” knick- 
knacks, and dainties of almost un¬ 
limited variety. Recipes for every¬ 
day salads and desserts are given 
first place in it, and particularly the 
new things in fruity Jell-O desserts.

Dn PRICES 
Government prices on steel and iron do not affect coiw, 
tracts which the mills had before prices were fixed by tbA 
government. - As these contracts are at much higher 
prices, and will take the output of the larger mills for 
many months we do not see any possibility for lower 
prices on stoves and furnaces than those we now quote. But if by any chance should 
we be able to reduce our prices before July 1st, 1918, we guarantee to refund 
you the difference between the new price and the price you pay.
