WOMAN AND HOME
low to Eliminate Kitchen Wastes

How to Eliminate Kitchen Wastes
The appalling figures of $700,000,-
900 worth of waste in food stares us
in the face nearly every day. No
few nor any group of women can
remedy this evil. 1t must be the con-
certed effort of large numbers in each
community.
Wastes are so many that it is i'm
possible to mention only the glaring
ones. Many Of these no doubt each
reader will refuse TO admit are found
III her kitchen, but perhaps some equ-
ally as bad have not been mentioned.
We waste carloads of food in pre-
pairing more than is needed and not
intelligently making over dishes.
Nade-over. dishes are never highly
gratifying and it is much wiser to
have no left-overs to dispose of or
make more expensive by the addition
of costly food to utilize the leftover.
The average woman all over the
country is willing to conform to the
request to have but three courses at
dinner even when entertaining. Little
dabs of food served in eight or ten
courses either means a vast amount
of waste or, fully as important, a
human engine clogged by too much
fuel to dispose of, causing disease and
often sudden death.
Fat from meat, suet and drippings
fat from soups are wastefully thrown
away and fresh lard, oils and fats are
used for frying. When butter is 40
to 60 cents pound it should not be
mentioned as frying fat even in the
homes able to buy it. 1t matters not
whether we are financially able to
stand the waste, somebody is going
hungry because of our extravaganza.
The preparing of vegetables may
mean a great waste; careless peeling
of potatoes often done in haste at a
late hour when time is more import
ant than the potato, is another great
leak which should be watched. In
many homes potatoes are not peeled
at all, and everybody seems to be per-

CHILDRENS PULPIT
The Faithful Servant

\ In one of His parallels to His dis.
ciples, according TO the twelfth
chapter of st. Luke, beginning with
the thirty-fifth verse, Jesus taught
the important truth that one must bs
faithful and honest in all ones tasks
if one would bet rusted and given
large and more important opportuni-
ties. He declared that that servant
who was faithful in his work at all
times, so that if his master happen
ed to return at any odd time during
the night he would be ready to re-
ceive him, was indeed blessed. FoI
the master would promote him at the
first opportunity to the highest posi-
ton in his house.
But, on the other hand, that SER
want who was unfaithful in the posi-
ton that he held, no matter what it
was, would be given a less desirable
place. For Jesus seemed to think
that is faithless in small tasks will
be faithless also in larger ones.
That is, Jesus was trying to tell9both
His disciples and us that in Gods
world one receives nothing until
through faithfulness and honesty one
has proven oneself worthy TO receive
whatever is given him.
Peter asked Jesus If this lesson
was for the disciples alone or was it
for everyone? Jesus went on to say
that this truth was by no means for
only the disciples but that it applied
10 everyone, no matter who, or where,
he was. AS children we, of course,
look into the future and expect to do
great things and be trusted with i'm
portant tasks. If this is our hope
the sooner we learn Jesus great les
son the better it will be for us. For
truly no one can do great things who
has not been faithful and honest in
doing small things.
We have all read, no doubt, about
Joseph of old. How he was wrong
ed both by his own brothers and
those in the royal house of Egypt.
We see him cast into prison as a
criminal, but ere we know it he is
made master of the whole prison.
And the next paragraph tells us
that he is the actual ruler of all
Egypt. But this advancement did
not come to Joseph either by chance
or good luck. 1t was all given to
him because of his faithfulness and
honesty in all that he did. He prov
ed himself worthy Of great things.
A little farther on in our Bible we
read of humble shepherd boy. And
a few verses more we note that he IS
king of all Israel. When we ask how
this boy became king we are informed
by the Scriptures that it was only
the result of his faithfulness through
out his earlier life. When Saul told
David that he could not fight the
giant, David insisted that he could,
for he had killed both a lion and a
bear. Saul felt that David was
right. He had done the smaller
tasks faithfully, so he was given the
larger task of killing a giant. Had
he fled from the lion or bear ne. prob
ably would never have fought the
giant.
Surely Jesus was correct.

MANY a Mickle Makes a Muckle"

At the end of a strenuous day a
business woman dropped into beau

best cooks on earth, yet they never
waste anything. They can take a
bunch of pea pods and make a delici-
Gus soup out of them, and have peas
besides, cooked in some other attrac-
tive fashion"
Now who ever heard Of making
soup out Of pea pods? In America
we feed them to the pigs, or send
them off in the garbage. Yet we
know they are full of a fine flavor.

Keep Temptation Away

Your national superintendent of
legislation has just communicated
with Secretary of War Baker and
finds that when the army bill became
a law word was Immediately sent to
commanders of army posts training
camps and mobilization centers call
ing attention to the new law and de-
handing that it's provisions be faith
fully carried out. As the secretary
says, at will take time to purify
these places that have fostered these
dens of vice-in some points for
years and in others for months" but
that the saloon and brothel shall be
done away with in military centers is
a foregoing conclusion. The United
States government heard and an
swered the appeal of the w. C. t. u.
for the unprotected girls in the Phil
ippines and placed its ban on segre-
CATION in those far-away islands
years ago and we know and believe
that the insistent appeal to the
President and members of congress
by mothers and friends of the sold
Ter boy will cause the complete over
throw of these direful temptations
from their midst. In a letter dated
May 26, 1917, the text Of which is as
follows: The secretary of war APP
pealed with no uncertain sound to
the governors of all the state coun-
ellis of defense to keep temptation
away from these defenders Of the ma
tons honor. / am sending a copy of
this letter to each state president,
with the request that she give it the
widest publicity possible. Let the
good people of each state send brief
letters to the governor, urging him to
cooperate with the secretary of war
in eliminating these points of dan
ger. Have resolutions passed at
church meetings and signed by the
pastor in behalf of the membership
and forward them by mail to the
governor Of your state.

than milk. And yet in many house
holds skim milk, for instance, is left
in cup uncovered, is allowed to sour,
is poured down the sink or thrown
out. There are 100000 homes in
the United States. If an average of
one-haf cup a day were thus vast
ed, it would mean 100000 quarts
daily, 912,000,000 quarts a year-the
product of more than 100000 cows.
1t takes lot of grass and grain to
produce that much milk, and an army
of people to deliver it.

1t is not generally know, perhaps,
that milk is not only delightful bev-
erage, but that it supplies body-build-
ing materials and energy as well. The
following table gives an idea of the
value of milk as food, as compared
with other highly nourishing foods:
Protein.-One quart of milk
equals: Seven ounces of sirloin steak,
six ounces of round steak, 4.3 eggs,
and SO ounces of fowl.

of meat to advantage. Let us now

sweet milk "left-overs" for soup, pud-
dings, gravies, sour milk for bread
making and cottage cheese, and pea
pods for soup!
Wholesome and inexpensive
Gelatine Relish.-Place half box
of gelatine in half cup of cold wa
ter for ten minutes. Then pour one
pint of boiling water over it, and
while it is cooling beat into it one
pint of cooked pears (Bartlett's pre-
ferred).
Whole Wheat Pancakes.-Put three
pints of buttermilk into large basin,
add one well-beaten egg, one tea
spoonful Of baking soda, one tea
spoonful salt, one-haf cupful of flour,
and enough whole wheat flour to
make a thick batter. Fry.
Baked Rice and Cheese.-One-
fourth pound cheese grated or cut in
TO small pieces, one cupful rice, milk
as needed. Cook the rice; put into

or ice and cheese; pour over them
enough milk to come halfway to the
