ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time Wash
ing Dishes.

"The careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once a
day is often enough to wash Dishes"
writes DR.. II. Barnard in Table Talk"
in the National Food Magazine. "She
cannot, train herself TO allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of shiftless, ~slovenly housekeep-
ing. AS a matter of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three daily DISTINGUISHING
jobsS'
Doctor Barnard goes on to recite
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of d%ishwashing. One week she
washed dishes three times a day the
next week she washed each days
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
81 minutes a day to wash after each
meal and Al minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only of time, but
there vas a considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day, to say nothing of the saving in
soap.

TO cHEAPEM LIVING COST
Advice About the Best Kinds Of Foods
That Should Be Selected and
Prepared. d.

A bulletin published by the New
York department Of health suggests
a number of changes In diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy,
and especially oatmeal" the bulletin
says, ARE rich in nourishment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals.
american cheese, dried beans, and
peas are comparatively cheap, and con
tain a great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat.
"Oleomargarine is a very satisfac-
tory and economical substitute for but
ter. Unfortunately, its use in public
institutions is prohibited by law.
Rice is very cheap food and can be
served in many different styles. 1t
should be used more frequently than it
is in the dietary of those of moderate
means. 1t contains a very high per-
centage of carbohydrates, n of the
very necessary forms of nourishment.
Everyone knows how extensively 1t is
used among the peoples of Asia, where
1t has served as the chief article of
diet from time i~mmemorial.
at should not be necessary to state
that bread, preferably Of whole wheat,
a form which is rich in very important
food elements called 'vitamines.' also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary of the
working man and woman.
''There are many other cheap food
stuffs, a notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judlciously, they serve to lessen the
cost Of the dietary without in any way
impaifing it's food value.

than scant material. 1t is full enough
for comfortable walking. The over
skirt is laid in four plaits at each
side of the front and in box plaits
across the back. 1t is bordered at the
front with six narrow folds of silk,
and they rive it a very slight flare at
the bottom.
The bodice is an affair for an ex-
pert dressmaker to describe, and the
uninitiated fashion reporter can only
marvel at it. 1t is draped away from
the vest at the waistline and orna-
mented with folds of silk that extend
themselves to the skirt. A tab of en-
broidery lends a line of bright color to
the sedate tones of the cloth and silk
folds and repeats the design (of
which there is a glimpse) that covers
the vest. The bodice appears to be in
one piece, with the skirt at the back.
Full straight sleeves are shirred in
at the wrists and bordered with fur,
and a soft muller collar of fur pro-
tects the throat. Any of the soft wool
fabrics might be used in a dress Of
this kind, and 1t is more than likely
that we shall see it made in satin.

HAVE BEST BREAD
THAT MADE AT HOME SUPERIOR
TO BAKERS.
When Yeast Is In Good Condition II 10
Not a Matter Of Difficulty to Turn
Out a. Splendid Article
Some Hints.

CBulletin of University Of Missouri)
Homemade bread, if well made, IL to
be preferred over bakers bread, ac-
cording to Miss Addie d. Root Of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture. The
condition of the yeast used In bread
making is more important than the
kind of yeast. If yeast is allowed to
stand in a dusty place or is put into an
unsterilized vessel, it will collect bac-
terra and the bread will have a sour,
unpleasant taste. All utensils and
liquids should be scalded before using.
Yeasts are small plants which need
air. Flour, therefore, should be added
slowly and beaten into the liquid thor
oughly to Incorporate air. Sugar is
food for the yeast plant and If given to
it Will hasten its growth.
If dough, is too stiff, a harsh, crumbly
bread results. The least amount OF
flour possible to avoid a sticky dough-
gives the best bread.
The quick even stroke in kneadlng
count for more than the strength put
into it. A thorough kneading dis
tributes the yeast plants evenly
throughout the dough and results in
bread of the best texture as the gas
bubbles rise evenly. Dough should be
kneaded until 1t has a smooth velvety
surface. If kneaded longer than 80
minutes, the elastic quality is com-
pletely destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at a temperature
of from 70 To 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough is set to rise, it should
be placed in al clean bowl. If the bowl
is covered tightly and an ever temper
allure maintained, II is not necessary
either to oil or moisten the surface to
prevent a crust from forming. If the
temperature is too high, the bread will
be dark, %coarsel and our If the dough
is chilled whilel rising, the volume will
be smaller, the texture rubbery, and
an undesirable lcrust will form. Best
results are obthined when dough is
kept at a gentleL warm, even tempera-
ture until it is twice its bulk, and then
worked.
Baking requires as much care as
mixing, kneadingI and rising. The tem-
pe%rature of the oven should be 360
degrees Fahrenheit when the bread is
placed in IT. 1t should be allowed to
rise after fifteen minutes and lowered
after thirty minutks. The bread should
begin to brown i'll patches during the
first fifteen minutts and should have
an even, brown surface after thirty
minutes. If the detgh is not twice its
original bulk or rs Night as desired it
may be allowed to1inish rising in the
oven. b

According to the census of 1910
there were in this country 21s,972 Ne
gro farmers owning their own homes.
At that time 672,964 Negroes were ten
ants on the furms of others.
The Negro is essentially an out.Of-
doors worker. He thrives best in Gods
fresh air and sunshine. Coop him up
in the house and pulmonary disease at
lacks him quickly.
AS for the southern Negro, this is
the lesson that should be learned be-
fore he allows the seductive offers of
the northern labor seeker to pull him
away from the climate and the work
for which he is suited. The offer Of
better wages has already drawn more
than 125,0OO Negroes from the South.
Despite the cold weather that ap-
proaches, the migration to the North
continues. 1t is estimated that in six
months more the number will reach
a quarter of q million. Most of these
Negroes are from the rural districts.
They have never done & days work
in the house in their lives. They have
only a limited idea of the labor they
will be expected to do in their new
home.
From the contemplation of these
Negroes who are going to the rigors
of the North, it is interesting to turn
to the case of the Harris county Ne
gro whose story was contained in the
news columns of the Post of Sunday.
Working with his seven sons and
2T yoke OF oxen for the lumber mills,
this Negro managed to become the
owner of 800 acres of Texas land.
Among the products marketed this
year are 10 bales of cotton, 1000 BUSH
els of sweet potatoes and so head of
hogs. He and his family are well and
they are content L stay in Texas.
There will be no tempting them to
leave the delightful climate of south
Texas to spend a single winter in the
zero temperatures of Illinois or New
York.
Any other Negro who will work and
attend to business may do as well in
the South as this Negro has done.
There is no Limitation on opportu-
nifty in this country. There Is a pre-
MUM upon application, upon hard
work, upon the ability to save, and
upon common properly applied.
The southern Negro who will work on
the farm may do well. He will have
the respect and the friendship of the
white men of his community. He will
have their help and their encourage
ment, and he can be happy in the land
Of southern sunshine. Houston
