WAR SUMMARY.
(Bv ASsocjated Preas,l

Again the operations along the
front in France are being carried out
mainly by the artillery of the bellig-
erents. The minor infantry activity
is by patrols in which only small bits
of territory have been attacked. In
one of these attacks, the Canadians
have occupied an additional trench
astridc the Lens-Arras road, but after
another attempt they were repulsed,
according to the German war Office.
Reciprocal commandments of artil-
lery continue along the Aisne front.
and in Champagne and there has also
been a renewal of the big guntire In
the Avoncourt sector, northwest of
Verdun.
In the Asiago plateau zone of the
Austro-Italian theater the Austrian ar
tillery has shattered positions taken
recently by the Italians and reoccu-
pied them. The fighting was on
Monte Ortigara and the Austrians as
,sert that they captured more than
800 prisoners.
Rome. in admitting the withdrawal
of the Italians, says that the destroyed
positions afforded no shelter to the
Italians from the murderous fire OF the
Austrian artillery.
Lively fighting continues between
the Russians and Austro- Germans ON
the eastern front, particularly In Ga
licia, south of the Tarnopol railroad
and along the Narayuvka river. The
operations on the Macedonian front
continue of mioor Importance. There
have, however, been several smart
skirmishes and one attack by the en-
emy, preceded by violent lombard
ment, against the French positions.
It was repulsed.

SOY BEANS ARE A
NOURISHING FOOD

Soy beans, introduced into the United
States more than hundred years ago.
primarily for use as a forage crop, are
in reality one of the most nutritious OF
the legumes when used as human food,
according to the Department OF Agrlcui-
ture. These beans have been used lor
centuries as a staple article of diet IN
used more generally in this country as
consumers learn their food value ana
palatability Since they furnish protein
which contains nitrogen for muscle build
ing and valuable fat. they are especialg
important to turn to as an emergency ad-
dition to the usual dietary or as substl-
tutes for other foods furnishing protelh
and fat. Moreover the fact that they
contain no starch makes them Vaiuapie
for invalidS who cannot eat Starchy 1oodS.
These beans may be grown easily in prac-
tically all sections of the country where
corn is grown and give heavier yields than
most other beans.
Soy beans have been so important for
other purposes that until recently they
have attracted little attention for food
purposes in this country. They are now
coming into their own for that purpose
however, and the acreage OF soy beans
has increased steadily in recent years.
The dried beans may be purchased now in
number OF markets in various parts OF
the country, often under the name OF
togo beans. and should. with the increased
acreage of the coming season. be more
generally available. Soy-bean meal, a
byproduct Of oil making, is d valuable
food and no doubt will come into more
general use with the increased production
Of soy beans.
Where dried soy beans are available
they may be baked with or without pork.
like navy and other beans. They should
be soaked over night and should be
cooked longer than other kinds of beans.
The cooking may be done economically in
a fireless cooker of the sort provided with
heating stones or plates, or on the ledge
of the firebox inside the furnace II the
house happens to be heated with one of
this type.
Dried soy beans have been canned in
considerable quantities during the past
season, baked with pork. Canned green
soy beans. which may be compared with
lima beans, also are on the market in
some sections of the country. Both these

TEMPTING DISHES FOR
THE SPRING TABLE

The entire family Graves a change OF
diet with the change of season. To
keen every one good natured and con-
ented it is necessary that you cut down
on the heavy foods. Omit rich pastries
and puddiugs and serve salads and
fruit desserts
The system needs a spring cleaning
lust as much as the house you've 1lVed
in We need fresh crosses and greens,
also fruits and vegetables rich in min
eral salts.
A delicious, novel and nutritious
salad that viii do for the main dish at
luncheon follows: Serve slices of
canned pineapple with cheese balls NIL
ing the center and garnish with cher
ries. Or the pineapple rings may be
cut in triangles and tossed with cut
head lettuce and a mayonnalSe dressing
or salad oil. Serve the cheese balls on
a side dish These may be of cottage
cheese with pimento mixed through. A
delicious cheese ball to serve with
salad may also be made of full cream
cheese This is put through the meat
chopper, mixed with cream sauce,
formed into balls and dropped into hot,
deep fat for a moment They are de-
liciouS.
The high grade. standardized canned
fruits make splendid spring desserts
They are not only wholesome, but are
so easily prepared in these busy spring
renovating days.
\ can of quality peaches may be
served just as they are or with a dress
ing of whipped evaporated milk or in
peach short cake. The tasty apricots
put up in cans by producers of national
reputation are ideal for spring. They
are just sour enough to give the proper
zest at the end of the, meal. Pour off
the juice and thicken it with corn
starch or gelatin: just as it begins to
set, add the fruit. This is delicious
served with an inexpensive sponge cake

Evolutions of a Roast.

With the end in view of using every
bit of meat down to the last piece, a
roast is an economical piece of meat
to buy.
The sixth and seventh ribs are much
cheaper than the five others, and when
properly cooked are as delicious. The
chuck ribs also make Il good roast.
For solid meat roast buy u rump and
have your butcher take out the bone.
Either of these cuts of meat should
be first wiped with dry cloth. then
either scared on hot pan or put in a
very hot oven. After the outside is
well scared, say in ten minutes, reduce
the heat and allow the roast to cook
slowly, basting it often. \ self-basting
roaster is ideal for this purpose. After
the meat has cooked half an hour, sea
son it well with salt and pepper and
lay over the top n few thin slices of
onion. If you select a very lean roast,
place a few slices of choice bacon over
the top before placing in the oven.
Serve hot. with rich brown gravy
and potatoes boiled in their jackets. the
first day. Thin slices of the roast are
tasty served in sandwiches, with horse
radish and mustard. for luncheob the
next day. For dinner the second day
slice off as much as you need; warm up
the gravy. but before putting the meat
in the warm gravy, turn it quickly into
hot, creased skillet-sear on each
side as you would fresh meat. Put
into the gravy just long enough before
serving to heat. Variety may he had
by adding various tiaVorings to the
gravy. such as peppers. bay leaves,

Peanut Butter Soup.
In these days of soaring prices it may
be useful to housewives to learn how to
make a delicious, nourishing soup. a
quart of which may be made for NOM
inal cost. This is a puree of peanut
butter, or cream of peanut soup. 1t
can also be made in less than ten min
utes, thereby costing very little for
fuel.
I would emphasize a fact known to
very few people, l think, that peanut
butter may be bought in bulk much
cheaper than in the ordinary glass jars.
The prices vary, but at some stores 1t
may be had as low II cents a pound.
The quality seems to me to be the same.
The ingredients are: Three cupfuls of
milk one cupful of boiling water, one
half cupful of peanut butter, one tea
spoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful
of nutmeg. one tablespoonful of corn
starch, a dash of pepper, and ono table,
spoonful of cut parsley.
While the milk is heating mix the
peanut butter with the boiling water
and work 1t smooth: then add to the
boiling milk. Mix the cornstarch with
a little cold milk. and add to the hot
milk Add the salt. pepper and nutmeg.

Using By-Products.

1t seems to me that the answer to
this condition is in the more complete
utilization of the by-products of the
kitchen.
It is all very well to laugh at the
idea of cheating the garbage can. But
the fact remains that enormous guam
titles of perfectly good food do go
into the garbage cans of this country
daily.
The individual housewife, in this re-
spect, has much to learn from the DIG
industries, which waste nothing.
The idea of utilization of waste by
the great packers was only laughed at,
but this utilization has become real
ity until today 1t is truism that noth-
ing is lost but the squeal.
Much waste does occur, however, be-
fore these same meats are finally con-
sumed in the home.
When making soup be sure to cook
the meat so it will be palatable for the
meat dish of the meal-that is. put 1t
to cook in boiling water. After ten
minutes OF boiling reduce the heat and
let meat simmer until tender. If a

To Hang Your Own Skirt.

Stand normally and with a yard
stick measure from the floor the dis
tance up on the stick to where the hips
curve or where the body leaves its
perpendicular line. and mark this on
the skirt with pin. On myself a
woman of short stature and plump
proportionS-the stick at this diverging
point reads thirty-two inches
This proportional measurement dis
covered. notch or tie around the yard
stick a thread. so that you can feel it,
Then stand before a full-length mirror,
turn and measure all the way around
putting the pins in place, being care
ful always to keep the stick exactly
perpendicular.
This distance from the floor meas
ured. take off the skirt and measure
tance on the stick you want the bot
tom of tho skirt from the floor. If
five inches. as in my case, this new
measurement will be thirty-two minus
five which will be twenty-seven inches
from the first line of pins. Measure
all the way around, putting in second
line of pins. and turn your hem; or if
you wish to face, cut off. A skirt
measured in this way will hang per-
fectly.
Still another way Is to stand by a
table. turn about and mark with pins
height Of the table; then measure
downward with a tape measure which
just touches the floor Pursue the
same method of subtraction as ex-
planned above and place a second row
of pins for the bottom of the skirt.
just as with the yard-stick
Either one of these methods. when a
woman does her own sewing, will
insure an evenly hung skirt.
