PLAN OF REGISTRATION
FOR MILITARY SERVICE

Washington, May 6.-An official
outline of the method by which mill
tary registration is to be carried out
under the selective CONSUMPTION bill
was made public today, with an ap-
peal from the war department for the
voluntary services of State election
and other officials in order that there
will be no delay in enrolling ana
classifying millions of men for army
duty. Careful preparation has been
Rnade to place the whole task in the
Shands of civilian officials OF the States
&and to remove every suggestion OF
enilitary force in putting the measure
4 into effect. The only function of the
federal government will be supervis-
ion through the office OF the provost

There was time in the country's
history when military enumerators,
backed by bayonets, went out among
the, people to take a compulsory SER
vice census. Today under the prin-
ciple of universal liability to service
the execution Of the law. is put into
the hands of the people.
"The approval Of the new national
army bill and the presidents procla-
nation hereunder will be coincldent,
All persons within the age limits pres
cribed will be required to present
themselves for registration at the
customary voting places in the voting
precincts in which they have their
permanent home; on a day which the
president will announce. The prob
ability is that from ten to Is days Will
elapse between approval of the bill
and the registration day.
.'The governor of each State will be
the chief of registration therein. The
machinery of registration in eacn
county is to be in charge of the
sheriff, the county clerk and the coun-
ty physician, acting ex-ofhcio, unless
a different board shall be announced
by the governor In cities containing
populations of more than 10000, the
registration will be under the controf
of the mayor and selected boards OF
registration. In order that the desig-
mated county and city officials, and
the people generally, can get a clear
understanding of the census methods
the following brief outline IS given
sThe sheriffs or other designated
officials; Immediately upon receiving
notice from the governor, shall ap-
point registrars for each voting pre-

Appointment of Registrars.
''The proportion of registrars shall
be ones.of each 170 persons to be
registered. Each age to be register
ed will comprise about per cent. OF
the population.
If, for instance, all men between
10 and 25 years of age, inclusive, are
to be registered, the registrar would
have to enroll about per cent. of the
precinct population.
''It is desirable to accept the SER
vices of competent volunteer regis
trars to serve without compensation
All registrars must be sworn.
'sThe voting place in each precinct
must be prepared for registration.

last year the controversy over the ac-

Mrs CCunley explained as she has ab

that her son Clarence. who was com

asked che board 10 reimburse her.

she insisted that county aid should be
given. but inasmuch as the patient
was not in this section at the time Of
his illness. some members raised the
point that the county was therefore
not liable. although admitting that
from s. sentimental standpoint. the
claim had merit.

Frozen Desserts--I.

With the hot days of May come
thoughts Of cold desserts for dinner;
and at the top of the list OF cold des-
serts in the American household is
the frozen delicacy, ice cream, ice, or
frozen pudding. The making OF ice
cream is task requiring considerable
labor II the housewife has no one but
herself to carry out all the steps; but
know one busy mother who conl
siders ice cream the easiest dessert
to make, because her N-year-old son
assumes all the responsibility of the
freezing. There is no doubt that the
home made product is cheaper. than
the bought one, always discounting
the labor factor.
The value OF simple ice ceam in
the diet is much tho same as the value
of milk or cream; and their value is
ranked very high. The only possible
objection to frozen desserts in the
diet are the dangers OF taking cold
food into the digestive tract, chilling
it, and interfering with its work. This
objection may be overcome by form
ing the habit OF eating frozen food
slowly. Even the most conservative
Of authorities on the feeding of chill
dren recommend ice cream in the
diet after the fifth year; and the use
of very simple ice cream very oc-
casionally even before the fifth year.
A second possible objection to rich
ice cream is the same that would be
made to the eating Of very rich pud-
dings--they may interfere with diges-
ton. This objection, Of course, is not
true OF the palmer frozen mixtures.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-05-23

Cook books differ in their classih-
cation of the innumerable recipes for
frozen desserts. Two or three main
kinds are generally recognized. The
ice creams include all recipes, having
a cream or custard basis. If the GUS
ard is rich with egg yolks, the cream
is French ice cream; if the custard
is less rich, the product is American
ice cream; and if straight cream
basis is used, we have Philadelphia
ice cream. The ices are frozen fruit
sirups; the sherbets, fruit sirups plus
beaten egg white, or with a partial
milk basis. A mousse is favored
whipped cream frozen without any
turning; and a parfait is similar to
mousse except that it is topped with
whipped cream and served in spe-
cial tall, slender glass.
Directions For Freezing.
-Choose an ice cream freezer Of
standard make. The most satisfac-
tory consist of metal container with
in a wooden bucket. There are pat
ented freezers on the market which
presumably freeze creams without
any turning; but from experience, and
testimony Of others who have tried
Omaha daily bee., 1917-05-23

them, they are not perfectly satisfac-
tory. Set the freezer in dishpan, ad-
just the parts, and see that the handle
will turn. Pour mixture into metal
container, put on cover and adjust
handle finally. Then, and not before,
pack with ice and salt. The ice
should be crushed to the size Of a
walnut, for large pieces Of ice inter-
fere with the turning of the appara-
tus and retard the freezing, for they
melt slowly. The easiest method OF
crushing ice it to place it in a gunny
sack on cement floor and pound
it with wooden ice mallet. The salt
should be used in the proportion Of
one part salt to three parts ice for
everything but mousses and parfaits,
for which one to two proportion is
better. 1t is worth while to measure
the ice and salt with bowls, for these
proportions have been proved by
many experiments.
After the freezer is packed, turn the
handle slowly and steadily until the
mixture seems to be frozen. From
fifteen to twenty minutes is usually
required. If a freezer is only part
full the ice and salt packing need not
extend much above the level Of the
contents. A freezer should never be
filled more than three-fourths full as
the contents expand in freezing.
After the cream is frozen, remove
dasher and crank, and cork up hole
in the top of the can. Drain off
brine from around can, and repack
with ice and salt to cover the top
of the can. Cover with newspapers
and carpet or gunny sacks, and allow
to stand about two hours. Be very
careful in removing cover of can, to
wipe off all salt and ice water.
Recipes for Ices and Sherbets.
Below are given recipes for some
standard ices apd sherbets. 1t is we'll
to remember, however, that any ice
becomes sherbet if stiffly beaten egg
white is added when the ice is nearly
frozen. Allow one egg white to
one quart of frozen mixture. Any
woman can invent innumerable ices
and use UP whatever fruit juice she
may have on hand. Amy fruit, ex-
cept the very acid ones, such as
cherry, require some lemon juice, and
any mixture to be frozen should be
more highly favored and sweetened
than il it were to be served unfrozen.
The reason is that the cold seems to
dull our taste so that we require more
favor to be satisfied.
