1 Strawberries are all everyday COM
mon necessity now. The southern
gardens are yielding the luscious
dainties in great abundance and they
are coming northward to the Omaha
market by the carload and appearing
on the retail market at prices which
range around II and IS cents box
So the festive strawberry shortcake
is being consumed in goodly quantities
in Omaha homes; also Strawberries
and cream and strawberry pies. Some
forehanded housewives have already
begun preserving the berries.
Potatoes continue to hold down to
the comparatively low price OF around
65 cents peck, with some of the
fancier and bigger specimens COM
manding as high as Is cents a peck.
Lettuce is very fine just now and
it is on the market in large and plen-
tful quantities, both Of the leaf and
head varieties. Celery still continues
to hold place on the market, but is
no longer of the first grade of excel
lence.
Rhubarb from California is here and
sauces and pies made from this whole
some spring and summer stalk can
be had at very moderate prices.
Beets, turnips, carrots are plentiful,
both of the new and of the old. crops,
the latter, of course, being lower in
price than the former, but both be-

in flour and make crease across the
round of dough slightly to one side
of the center. Brush over the smaller
half of each piece with melted but
ter, fold the larger half over the
smaller half and press edges together.
Place in creased pan, one inch apart,
cover let rise and make in hot oven.
To glaze the tops brush over with
beaten egg before baking.
Clover Leaf Biscuit-Shape dough
into balls the size of walnut, and
press three balls together in the form
of clover.
Bread Sticks-Cut pieces of dough
and roll under the hands to the
length of the pan and the thickness
of lead pencil.
Salad Rolls-Pull off bits of the
dough, fold and knead them into balls.
As they are shaped set them on
creased pan, cover closely and let
rise. With the handle of a wooden
spoon, bring down, nearly through
the center of each ball as though
to divide it, brush with melted but
ter one of the cleft sides and press
the roll together. Brush outside of
each roll with butter, let rise. Bake
as usual.
French Twists-Roll dough to one
fourth inch thickness, brush with
melted butter cut into strips seven
inches wide, cut the strips into squares
and the squares diagonally into halves

the point of triangle so the point
comes below Bring the ends OF the
roll together, shaping like a horse
shoe.
Cinnamon Rolls-Roll dough to
one-fourth inch thickness, brush with
melted butter, sprinkle with sugar,
cinnamon and washed currants. Roll
dough up like jelly roll, then cut
into inch pieces. Set pieces fat on
creased pan, let rise and bake IS to ~
minutes in a moderately hot oven.
If much sugar is used it will melt
and caramelize on the bottom of the
rolls. The caramel is apt to burn,
hence the oven should not be quite
SO hot as for palmer rolls.
Swedish Tea Ring-Roll dough very
thin, spread with melted butter,
sprinkle with sugar and chopped
blanched almonds or cinnamon. Roll
as for cinnamon rolls, cut piece
from each end and join ends to form
ring. Place on buttered sheet, and
slash part way through ring with a
knife at two-inch intervals. The ring
may be partly cut with scissors in
stead of slashed with a knife.
Variations in Dough for Raised Roll,
The butter nay be increased to
one-half cup.
The sugar may be increased to one
half cup.
One or two eggs slightly beaten
may be added after the sponge has
risen, if the long process is used or
at the beginning if the short process
is used.
Cut raisins, currants. citron. candied

Raised Rolls

To anyone who hasamastered the
science of bread making the question
of raised rolls is very simple one
The same basic principles apply in
the case of rolls that apply to bread.
The control of temperature is equally
important, the kneading is even more
important, for rolls are usually finer
grained than bread; and the amount
of -four must be gagged as carefully.
Rolls differ from bread in that they
are richer. In almost all recipes milk
is called for as the liquid; more short
enlng and sugar are always used; eggs
are often introduced, and frequently
various goodies" such as raisins, cur
rants, spices, etc, are used. The more
heavy ingredients used in rolls the
more difficult is the process, for heavy
ingredients retard the rising. The
European housewife excels particu-
larly in this branch of cookery, and
the recipes for fancy coffee cakes and
elaborate rolls are innumerable. Most
of the foreign recipes are extrava-
giant both of money and energy, for
they require free use of butter and
eggs, and much manipulation. How
ever, no one can deny the excellence
of the results.

Long Process-Pour scalded milk

lukewarm, add dissolved yeast cake

oughly, cover and let rise until light,
in warm place. Cut down and add
enough flour to knead (about two and
one-half cups). Let rise again in a
CREASED bowl, in warm place, till it
doubles its bulk. Toss on a Toured
board and knead, then shape as de-
sired. Let rise on a creased pan till
light; then bake. The dough should be
Just as soft as possible. Long knead-
ing each time and extra kneadngs
will make rolls of very fine grain.
Short Process-Add all flour at
once, which will mean the omission
of one step. Hence quicker process
and quite satisfactory one.
To Bake Rolls-The oven should be
hot or the rolls will dry out. From
twelve to twenty minutes is required,
depending on the size of the roll.

Whether or not he talked, all news
from Germany reaching Denmark and
Holland indicated that the chancellor
is facing his greatest crisis politically.
He is under fire from the conserva-

is mistrusted by the socialists because
he has not gone far enough in promise
of reforms; he is blamed by other part
les for maladministration of the food
control.
Reports of new peace offer from

MAXIMUM PRICES OF COAL
URGED AS ONLY GUARANTEE
AGAINST FAMINE.
Facts Gathered to Be Laid Before Com
gress Within Few Weeks and Ac-
tion Is Likely to Follow.

Chicago, May Establishment Of
maximum prices for coal of the vari-
GUS grades was urged by l.. R. Lyle
of the Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault
Ste Marie railroad as the only escape
from famine prices in his testimony
before the Federal Trade commission.
The facts gathered in Chicago and
elsewhere will be laid before Con-
gress within a few weeks.
Mr.. Lyle said speculation and a gen.
eral scramble to get coal at once for
future use are sending the market
up, many coal operators refusing to
sell except at big advances, even when
guaranteed an adequate supply of cars
for transportation.
Need More Cars.
Fred A. Bushnell of the Great North
ern railroad said more cars for the
railroads was the only solutions of the
coal problem.
UNLESS immediate relief is granted
/ don't see how the coal is going to
be supplied to the Northwestern
states" Mr.. Bushnell said. This
year there will be 100000 tons OF
coal required at the head of the lakes.
That means $500 cargoes before De-
cember 1, and lake navigation open
ed two weeks late this season.

section during the day, but its oppo-

change had been made. AS amended,
it now reads:
During a war in which the United
States is engaged or during a national
