The lines that separate the women
of our town are rapidly being wiped
cause of patriotic service. There was
a time when women, whose husbands
purses put them in easy street, paid
no attention to the more arduous
duties of housekeeping. When they
wanted a can of beans, they bought
them, and why shouldn't they seeing
that they could afford it? But now,
instead of giving morning bridge par
ties. they are conducting operations in
their kitchens, after the new methods
advocated by their Uncle Samuel, who
knows housekeeping along with all his
other accomplishments. This won
derful rich uncle of ours considers
that canning squash is no more be-
battleship, and his ideas on that SUBJ
! ject are seeping down to the highest
and the humblest of his relatives.
| Many of the society women attend
ed the lectures on vegetable and fruit
canning and drying, given in Topeka
in the past few months. For those
who did not get instructions on the
newest and surest methods of pre-
serving the kindly fruits of the
EARTH" the government has issued,
thru the agricultural college, a
pamphlet or bulletin of instructions
that are easy to follow. This bulletin

One SO often hears the question
why go to the trouble of putting up
these vegetables, when you can buy
them cheaper, or if not cheaper, al
least easier?" You see, that misses
/ the point entirely. 1t is not so much
a question whether you can buy them

After searching far back into the
thousands of different styles for
women in negligees, and other cos
tunes used for the purpose, not one
appeared the superior of this beau
tiful harem costume of Japanese
batik, created by Flambeau Weav-
ers artists. A few flowers woven in
the cloth is the only adornment. Its
comfort is obvious In the rest
period freedom of the limbs is re-
quired and this costume is as free

cheaper, but the point is that all the
food that can be saved in the time of
production and abundance, should be
saved against the day when it is go
ing to be scarce. Besides, the chances
are that the canning factories will
have great government contracts to
fill which will run them short for the
supply of domestic needs.
Among the well to do women of
our town who have entered into this
phase of food producing and saving
and are talking as well as practicing
the theories that are making wasteful-
ness unpopular, are: Mrs Arthur
Capper, Mrs. George M. Crawford.
Mrs. Fred Freeman, Mrs. S. c. Mich
OILS. Mrs. D. w. Mulvane, Mrs. Frank
Merriam, and many others of the
same set, besides the many women
of Topeka who have been publicly
advocating economy thru clubs and
civic organizations.
