MADE WITH CORN.

Are you bit tired of corn meal?
Perhaps, frankly. you are. And yet
you don't want to stop helping the
country to save the wheat supply. You
have learned that wheat transports
satisfactorily, and that Europe wants
wheat. and SO you have Joined the
crusade to save wheat for Europe.
Corn, you know, does not transport so
well. and you also know that corn, be-
ing a native American grain, is not
well well understood and not always we'll
liked by Europe. And so we who like
corn and know how to cook 1t and who
raise It close at hand are willing to
eat 1t SO that more wheat may go to
starving Europe.
Well and good. But you're tired Of
corn meel, just the same.
Then turn to samp and hominy-
samp is just a coarse sort of hominy-
both of them corn products, as a relief
from the corn meal taste. In eating
these products you will be Just as pa
end.
Baked hominy is delicious dish
either for the mainstay at luncheon or
Tor dinner in place of potatoes. To
prepare 1t, make a sauce Of a cup of
cooked tomatoes. two tablespoons each
of flour and butter and salt and pepper
to taste. Add this to two cups of
cooked honiny, pour in a creased bak-
ing dish. sprinkle with buttered crumb
and bake until brown.
Plain boiled hominy may be substi-
tuted- 1t Is sometimes bought in
dried form. and must then be soaked
for eight or nine hours before cooking.
To cook 1t, mix an equal amount of
boiling water with the hominy, salt to
taste, boil for three hours. drain and
serve. To add a delicious flavor to the
hominy. cook it with three or four
strips Of bacon or with three or four
tablespoons of bacon fat. Care must
be taken to see that the hominy does
not burn.
Hominy or samp combines appetfzine-
~ with cheese. and in this com bination
Is an excellent piece de resistance be-
cause 1T contains generous quantity
of both protein and starch. Boiled
hominy or samp may be baked with
cream sauce, in which cheese has been
dissolved. or it may be served boiled
with a cheese sauce.
Hominy is a natural perquisite of
chicken, and is served in the form of
cakes with fried chicken. It may be
warmed over with chicken gravy in a
most delicious form.

Peter Rabbit sat little back from

with rather wabbly logs straight Tor

they scrambled along as fast as their
wabbly little legs could fake them:
one disappeared. Then tho second. like

over the bank. Right down below

little Turtles and the sight Of them

he wasn't quite sure about his eyes
He feared that they might be playing
him tricks. When he saw those seven
little Turtles in the water he knew
that he surely had seen them on the
way to the water.
Satisfied that he had seen what he
had seen Peter returned to the spot
where he had seen the seven little
Turtles appear as by magic from the
innocent looking sand. He wanted to
have another look at 1t. Just as he
reached it, out crawlcd another baby

The extraordinary simplicity of this
blouse Is nothing new. It has been the
desire OF many of the exclusive dress
makers to substitute 1t almost entirely
for the draped and ornate bodice.
It Is not for every flgure-this bodice
on the medieval line. The tendency of
the average American woman to de-
velop large diaphragm makes these
snug lines rather unbecoming. The
pictures which the artists give us of the

FASHIONS

Wells nearly always occupy an impor-
tant place among fall and winter dress
accessories. Some women wear wells
all summer long, regardless of the fact
that even the flmiest of wells is not
only warm looking. but is warm. In
these sensible days, however, most
women discard wells during sweltering
July and August. but take them up
again with enthusiasm in the fall and
winter. Certainly a smart little veil
draped becomingly about a hat usually
adds style touch that is distinctly
worth while. and most women find wells
becoming.
The sketch illustrates three unusual
wells for the fall. The upper one is
the Jabot veil. It Is a long strip of

two sections. One end falls over the
face, and the divided ends are draped
about and tied under. the chin to form
a smart jabot.
In the center the bib veil Is shown.
This is a decided novelty; but 1t should
only be worn by a very pretty young
woman. The bib veil is usually a very
flmy affair. bordered with lace@ It Is

Tho lower veil Is moro conserva-

exact center strip Of tho veil is plain.
Wells of filet net are extremely smart
with appliQued designs Of crepe, chif-
fon, crepe de chino, etc. Odd shaped
designs are selected for the motifs. and
these are usually get far apart. so that
the vision is unobstructed.
The first fall hats arc small or only
medium large in size, SO that the wear
ing of wells may be said to have had
encouragement from tho milliners.

rial to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 25-Charles s. Will
son, State Commissioner of Agriculture,
today said his full field force was engag-
ed in making a food census Of the State.
He Is ascertaining through his agents and
through the thousand supervisors of the
various towns how much food Is in the
hands Of farmers. dealers. in cold storage
and in canneries and wholesale ware
houses.
Little hope Is expressed that any vast
quantities of food are held in reserve. All
previous estimates of the department
have indicated a very short potato crop
and short crops in the other staple vege-
tables
Mr.. Wilson said that even IL large re-
serves of food should be discovered he
would be powerless to act unless the food
was being held by the railroads. In the
latter event he said he would ask the
Public Service Commission to order the
food moved. Mr.. Wilson seemed to place
most OF his hopes for relief In the rail-
roads efforts to bring food from other
States.
The reported high prices Of potatoes
brought q flood of those vegetables to the
Albany public market today. Farmers for
miles around came In, each with one to
ten barrels At the opening Of the market
they demanded so barrel but found few
purchasers. By the close OF the market
at noon the price had gone OF 20 81. a
barrel and most of them had been sold.
