Community Kitchen Food
Conservation Measure
Proposed by Agent

Good things to eat and recipes for
making them displayed in the win
dows OF centrally located commun-
ity kitchen. This is the idea sug-
gested by Miss Nellie Farnsworth,
federal food agent, Tuesday afternoon
TO conference of district chairmen
of food conservation clubs.
Among the suggestions for the
years work, all of which met the ap-
proval of the meeting, were the week
ly conservation conferences, to be
held in the Y. w. c. A. auditorium, to
which each district should send at
least 10 members; an exhibit at the
county fair, which is to be held in
connection with Ak-Sar- Ben, each dis
trict displaying cans of vegetables
grown in their own war gardens and
canned by the members themselves;
a substitute exhibit, at which various
systems of saving sugar and other
food products should be explained.
Among the articles suggested is
"Max's MIX" a combination of sor-
ghum syrup and peanut butter. which
County Agent Maxwell suggests as a
filling for sandwiches.
Another suggestion of Miss Farms
worth's was the offering of prizes to
the school children, providing the
board of education will give its con-
sent, for essays on such conservation
topics as, "Confessions of a Garbage
Can" Loyalty of the Cereal FAM
lily" etc.
Miss Farnsworth has nine pro-
grams for use of conservation clubs,
which she is ready to give out on re-
quest.

ADVICE ITO THE
LOWELORN


>
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I have been married over three and a
half years, marrying when | was not
quite II years old, and my husband
was 26. When ! do not do exactly
what he wishes he calls me chick
headed" and will ask me If / am never
going to grow up and says that / still
act like 16-year- girl. How can
| overcome it? [ still dress young
and like to be with the girls, for ] am
not 20 yet. We have n baby boy Is
months old, and 1 always have him
sweet and clean, and my house always
busted when he comes home for his
meals, so he can enjoy himself when
he reads. Please. Miss Fairfax, print
the answer in The Omaha Bee and
tell me what to do, for / love him
dearly. WORRIED"
If you love him dearly you must
give up many pleasures and try to suit
your ways TO his. Your husband
wants more than clean home and a
neat baby; he wants a companion who
enjoys what he enjoys. He is much
older than you are and no longer likes
to run about with a crowd Of young
people. Your friends doubtless ap-
pear silly to him at times. You say
he likes to read. Can you not become
interested In what he reads? When
you went to school you had to read
| about things that probably seemed
dry to you. Study is just as important
now, when the future Happiness of
your little family may be at stake.
Try to grow up, t, the sake of the
husband you love, remembering that
the baby cannot become the sunny,
loveable child he should unless he
lives in an atmosphere Of love and
comradeship. 1t is hard for q little
girl to learn quickly to be a woman,
but 1t is harder still for a man to
learn to be boy again.
Mr.. Charles T. Kountze left Mon
day evening for the east to join Mrs.
Kountze and Miss Eleanor, who are
now at lockwood Inn, Shawnee-on-
the-Delaware. Mrs. Kountze will be
in New York after the 18th of Sep
TENDER and bid a number of the Ne
braska girls goodby before they sail
for canteen service overseas.
