 Devastation

London, November 5.-G:30 D. m9-The population of southern Poland, whose villages and lands have been devastated by the march and countermarch of Rus sian and German forces since the begin ming of the war; are ill dire distress, ac- cording to a report today from Prof. Bernard Perez, the British governments g representative at Russian headquarters. Professor Perez said the Russians were organizing extensive relief measures. b Cavalry charges, the report continues, have played a prominent part in Russian successes Several recent cavalry raids on the enemy's communications have greatly disturbed the German command CTS. Professor Perez adds.
 The report also says:
 "The Russians are always training in bayonet work, which the enemy often avoids.
 "The Germans compel captured officers to work with the men, and spit at them and drive them about bare to the waist.

Bread Made With Yeast Foam

T saw your request for recipes for bread made with yeast foam. I have had success with the use of 1t. In the evening or at noon I set my bread. If I make batter at noon, 1 mix bread stiff before evening, I let it rise over night, and in the evening, let trise over night, and in the morning mix the same as if using com pressed yeast. Drain the water from po- tatoes that you have for your monday or evening meal. Reserve two potatoes, mash them. and measure a cup of flour. Pour pint of water over the flour, also the mashed potato and water; strain. Use one tablespoon of sugar, and when all is cool or lukewarm, put yeast cake in and one tablespoon of salt. Stir once in a
 while, keep warm. Last or an either morning or evening, mix with as much flour as necessary. I use three flour seves full and one tablespoon of shorten ing. I hope this will find room in yoar generous Corner. This quantity makes four loaves. ISADORA s.

 MRS. ISABEL T."
 To make pork cakes-Chop one pound of fat salt pork free from lean meat or rind so finely that 1t looks like granulated lard; pour upon it half pint of boiling water and mix next with it two cups of dark brown sugar, one of New Orleans molasses one tea spoon of baking soda stirred into the molasses, a pound of raisins, a pound of chopped dates, and a quarter pound of minced citron rind. Stir into the mixture sifted flour until you have the consistency of good cake batter.

Helps in the Kitchen

T am offering the following items as being of value to many readers of you household department: First, much labor Is saved in the matter of clean ing gas stoves under the burners, caused by spilling or boiling over, by placing an ordinary pie plate under each burner and then covering this with an ordinary paper plate such as you get from the bakery. It Is only necessary to remove the soiled plate and replace 1t with clean one to keep your stove in a tidy condition. Second, to clean milk bottles, where the soiled part is in any degree tenacious, use your pot chain scraper and you will be surprised at the result. HILDA."
 Each item has value to the working housekeeper It Is by needing such that she becomes mistress of her profes- sion by easy degrees.
