WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
When the Transports Sail 
'I'lic ships move out of the io.v hay 
And a group of women wateli tluuii go. 
Our eyes are salt as tlie blowing spray, 
r.iit we smile with hearts that glow. 
Why should our eyes he hrimniing soV 
What right have our hearts to th:it iire 
divine? 
'J’heiaf’s never a soldiei’ sails toda.v 
'J'hat is hers—or hers—or mine. 
Hy the right of farewells that <'an )iev<!r 
he said, 
Of a ring that never was worn, 
Ity the right of a lad in his Siiringtime 
dead, 
And a hoy that never was liorn, 
O mothers of sons who sail this morn, 
We are praying them out to sea— 
Your children, that Ood might have giv«‘n 
instead

r.icniHii army niir.ses are to receive 
the same decoration as the soldiers who 
served during the first t«‘rrihle days from 
-\ugust 5 to XovemlHU' -2, 1011, in Ilel- 
giiiiii or France. 'I'his decoration is <•1110^1 
the Star of Mons, and consists of a bronze 
star Attached to a r<s1. white and hi tie 
ribbon.

'I'liE newest wartime ecoiiom.v is to be 
linkless sausages, according to the .\a- 
tional I’rovisioner. 'J’he tying of sau¬ 
sages in links is expensive in the use of 
material, and also calls for extra labor. 
I'liis refers esjiecially to frankfurters, and 
it is said that while the linkless sausage 
looks odd at first, trade buyers take to it 
kindly, and tliere seems every reason to 
look uiion it favorably. 
Says a cori’espondent in 'rennessee: 
1 sent I’.O-cent eggs to the market yes¬ 
terday, bought a IKl-cenl ]dowsnare that 
used to cost oo cents, jiriced muslin lhal 
used to be five cents jier .vard—it’s now 
2‘2 —some shoes that used to sell for 
are now and outing flannel they 
say will he .‘{o cents tier yard; paid .$1.50 
for overalls that I have jiurchased for J'O 
cents. Fan you tell me how to jiianage 
so that we can at least keep our bodies 
Covered? 1 am a bit blue—lost a young 
.lersey cow, one we had raised, fine not 
so good cost $50. ^ 
'I'hose are some of the jindilems many 
other women are considering—not the 
I'ost of luxuries, but of everyday neces¬ 
sities.

SoY beans are advised as a Coffee sub¬ 
stitute when roasti’d and ground. 1’he 
following recijie is given for baking them : 
Soak the beans in cold water overnight. 
In the 'morning boil them in the water 
in which they were soaked, adding a 
pinch of Soda. Pour oil the water, but do 
md throw it away, because it ma.\ be used 
in excellent bean soup. Then juit the 
beans in a baking dish, cover with water, 
add two level teaspoons of salt and bak(‘ 
from six to eight hours. During the last, 
hour keep the dish uncovered. If the 
beans are jireferred withoni their skins, 
boil them for 10 minutes before soaking 
them and rub off flu* skins.

M(« K ’jiossiiin, reconinumded as very 
savory, consists of two jioiinds f>f fresh 
jiork with some fat juit through the meat 
^■hojiper, to 'which are mided two ciiiifuls 
of bread crumbs soaked in hot water and 
sipieezed ilr.v, a little chopped jiarsle.v, 
onion, sage, pejiper, salt and nutmeg. Mix 
all together with a beaten egg, form into 
a loaf, and bake, basting ocf’iisionall.v with 
soup stock or hot xvater. Sweet jiotatoe.s 
may be bakml around it. Tf tliere are 
an.v bones from the jiork, they should be 
boiled as a basis for imitalion scrajiple. 
thi^'kening the soup, from which the bones 
have been strained, with cornineal, sea¬ 
soning highly, and adding finely chopped 
nut meats to take the jdaee id' meat. In¬ 
deed. with a highl.v seasoned soup, meat¬ 
less scrapide is savory and nourishing, 
even without the nut meats, and a suit¬ 
able dish for a llooverized bnmkfast. 
Canning Frozen Onions 
Heavy frost surprised us so early this 
Winter in Virginia that my onions. Avhich 
I had stored in the loft with the intention 
of bringing tbeni to safer .piarlers when 
time for zero weather would come, were 
frozen hard as a rock, early in December. 
I knew that as long as it stayed freezing 
weather they would remain frozen, and I 
could use them in that way. Hut 1 knew, 
too, by experience of last year, that as 
soon as the weather got mild they would 
s<tften and rot. So four weeks ago I tried 
to save some by canning my frozen 
onions! I slii'cd them in a <'old room, 
frozen as they were, and when the kettle 
was filled poured boiling water over them 
and set them to boil till they wi-re temhu'. 
'I’hey smelled all right, but looked awful; 
,'i gra.vish, black cobm. I took a silver 
tablesiioon to stir tliem, and. wonderful, 
tbe onions became wbile and my spoon be¬ 
came brownish black. I filled )iint jars 
till overflow with the boiling fiiiioiis, sealed 
tbem. and they have kept fine ui) till 
now. XIKH. W. H( IIKCI'-COaNEI.l.SHK.V. 
.Salting Small Beets ; Canning Corn and 
Beans 
W'ill you ask some of our coiiiifr.v sis¬ 
ters if they ever salted beet greens, leav¬ 
ing small beets on them. Avith sm-cess? 
lias anyone ever canned corn and beans, 
and b.v what method? Cold pack <ir thri'e- 
day method? A. At. 
Corn and beans are successfully canned 
logetber, .just as they are separately, but 
the salting of .small beets is unknown to 
us. Can our readers fell us whether this 
is desirable? 
Homemade Dyes Wanted 
Several years ago there afipeared in an 
agricultural jniper a li.st of I'ldors pro¬ 
duced by various barks and roots; quite a 
complete list of nearl.v all the standard 
colors. It was to almost any housewife a 
valuable list, but 1 lost mine and wonder 
if there is someone among your many 
readers who knows the Avays and results 
of using barks, leaves and roots in color¬

Do You Still 
Dread Washday? 
Or have you, like thousands of other women, 
learned to simply start your wash and let Borax 
finish it? Whether you boil or soak yourx;lothes 
MULE TEAM 
BORAX SOAP CHIPS

day use 20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips this way:

to a quart of water end boil. Put enough of this solution into 
the wash-water to make a good suds and soak or boil clothes
