WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
The Coming Year 
I have made ])oace with my foes, peace 
with the lost and the slain; 
Hope and the future are mine; over the 
living I reign. 
For I have buried the old, buried and put 
away, 
And the whisper and curse of wrong I 
suffer to fail today. 
And the sorrow of dark regret, and the 
dread of the vampire past. 
Are dead on the white highway.? where 
the Old Year breathed his last. 
I am the glad New Year. Songs of the 
morn I sing! 
Songs of the triumph soul, with the par¬ 
don and peace I bring. 
—Prank Walcott Ilutt. 
Hi 
Buckwheat porridge, cooked an lumr 
in the double boiler, then turned into a 
square tin to become cold and firm, may 
be sliced and fried like cornmeal mush. 
It is richer in flavor if made with .skim- 
milk instead of water, and has the double 
merit of saving wheat and being nutri¬ 
tious. 
* 
“Extending the meat flavor” is advice 
given in various government bulletins ad¬ 
vising food economy, suggestions being 
given for the use of vegetables or cereals 
that will make a small amount of meat go 
a long way. Sausage rolls will ludj) to 
make sausage meat, now very expensive, 
go much further. Make a nice light bis¬ 
cuit dough, roll very thin, and cut into 
circles with as little handling as i)ossible. 
Fry lightly small sausage cakes, drain 
from fat, place in center of bi.scut circle 
and fold the dough over into a turnover, 
crimping the edges together. Krush the 
crust over with milk, and bake 'brown in 
a hot oven. Serve hot or cold. It is 
necessary to fry the sausage, though not 
until crisp; otherwi.se it is not sufficiently 
cooked in the short 'baking. Fi-eslily 
baked sausage rolls will be appreciated 
for supper on a cold, snowy day. accom¬ 
panied by scalloped tomatoes or otlu'r 
vegetables, though a dysi)ei)tic might not 
appreciate such hearty fare. It would 
re<]uire about half as much sausage for 
the family serving as when fried in the 
ordinary fashion. 
* 
One of The li. N.-Y.’s city neighbors 
is a baker having a shop of moderate size 
with a lunch-room business. Naturally 
he suffers much from the sugar shortage. 
In normal times he uses 1,500 to 2.000 
pounds of sugar a week; recently fie has 
been able to get 400 to 500 pounds a 
week, and he has to plan his business ac¬ 
cordingly. The greatest leak has been 
in the lunch business, and he says that 
if people want three or four lumps of 
sugar with their coffee (and some of 
them do) he must refuse to sell tlnmi the 
cup of coffee. This habit is, perhaps, the 
greatest source of sugar waste in the 
household. The dish-wa.sher of the house¬ 
hold realizes this waste when she finds 
the bottom of the cup sticky with un¬ 
dissolved sugar. The Food Administra¬ 
tion is now suggesting a voluntary ration¬ 
ing system, and -we are asked to confine 
ourselves to three pounds of .sugar for 
each person per month. This seems a 
fair allowance, and in many families this 
allowance would not-be exceeded. It will 
be seen that in a family of five or six per¬ 
sons three jtounds each for the month 
amounts to a fair supply, yet this quan¬ 
tity, generally .adhered to, would effect an 
enormous saving. We can hardly realize 
the possibility of going without sugar 
now, although, according to botanists, the 
sugar cane was not known in Europe un¬ 
til the middle of the twelfth century. No 
doubt Cinisaders returning -from the East 
brought sugar among other rarities. It 
seems probable that-the prophet Jeremiah 
had sugar cane in mind when he referred 
to “incense from Rheba. and the sweet 
cane from a far country.” 
Seen in New York Shops 
IVIilitary mufflers of khaki-colored silk 
have bands showing colors of cavalry, 
infantry or artillery near the ends; price 
$5. They are very handsome. All the 
military articles advertised as “O. D.” are 
the official olive drab. 
Furs are handsomer and more expen¬ 
sive than ever before, and the display of 
costly wraps on the streets of New York| 
is amazing. Ermine made up in the pres¬ 
ent style does not have the little black tails 
dotted through it; it is left pure white, 
with the tails used as a fringe. Gray 
squirrel is again popular, and is often 
trimmed with brown squirrel or kolinsky. 
Little short full coatees of fur, or cape 
scarfs having armholes and pockets, are 
among new fashions. Some of the coatees 
are quite old-fashioned in appearance, be-j 
ing full and rippling, and reaching justj 
below the waist line. Oim of these short i 
little coatees was of gray stpiirrel, fas¬ 
tened by large buttons of brown scpiirrel, 
and trimmed with collar atid cuffs of the 
brown fur. Beaver and nutria are also 
used for such coatees, which call for a 
short fur.

wash materials for making up. We can 
.SCO little possibility of lower prices for 
cotton goods, and many of them show a 
very groat advance over prices prevailing 
a year ago. Linen cannot be expected to 
drop in price for many years after peace 
comes; ravaged countries and devastated 
factories must bj repaired, in addition to 
those localities where war needs have 
caused a temporary suspension of flax 
culture and manufacture. There is every 
reason to save needless wear of table linen 
already on hand, and one excellent plan 
is the frequent use of table iTUiiiers and 
doilies of Japanese toweling or other col¬ 
ored cottons, which are attractive and in 
good taste, while a saving of both liuen

crib or carriage cover for the baby.

We Must "Follow-Up” 
The story of the Gallipoli with¬ 
drawal is a tale of inadequate sup¬ 
port. Like Salamanders clinging to 
the red-hot bars of a fiery furnace, 
the boys of Australia and New Zea¬ 
land clung to the slopes of Anzac. 
Desperately, heroically they clung. 
No troops under any circumstances 
ever displayed greater soldierly 
qualities or upheld more sacredly 
the best traditions of England’s 
Army. But they had to withdraw 
because the “follow-up” was not 
there. 
To some of us it has been given 
to march with the columns of troops 
that go to France. And to others it 
is given to wave Godspeed. But he 
who marches and he who stays is 
equally a citizen of the world’s 
mightiest republic and equally re¬ 
sponsible for its success in this 
greatest of undertakings. 
Then let us at home turn from our 
flag waving and consider how neces¬ 
sary we are, how useful we must be. 
Those who go to fight cannot hope 
to win by naked bravery and we can¬ 
not hope to win unless every indi¬ 
vidual at home does all he can. We 
must have no Gallipoli. 
The Bell System is only one of 
the myriad great and small industries 
which are co-operating that nothing 
be left undone to keep a constant, 
efficient stream of men, guns, am¬ 
munition, food, clothing and com¬ 
forts flowing to the front.

^ —that’s what thousands of fanners 
say, who have gone from the U. S. to , 
settle on homesteads or buy land in West- “ 
I ern Canada. Canada’s invitation to every in¬ 
dustrious worker to settle in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta is es¬ 
pecially attractive. She wants farmers to make money and happy, prosperous 
homes for themselves by helping her raise immense wheat crops to feed the world. ■ 
You Gan Get a Homestead of 160 Acres FREE 
or other lands at very low prices. Where you can buy good farm land at $15. 
to $30. per acre that will raise 20 to 45 bushels of $2. wheat to the 
acre — it’s easy to become prosperous. Canadian farmers also grow 
wonderful crops of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed Farming is 
fuliy as profitable an industry as grain raising. The excellent grassy, full of nu¬ 
trition, are the only food required either for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools 
and churches, markets convenient, climate excellent. Write for literature and
