on the back of the stove when nearly cooked,

butter, pour over two cupsful of water and
put into the oven. If you wish to be cxtrav-
agant. add cooked mushrooms as the Russians
frequently do. Stew for fifteen minutes and

The Russians take the greatest care in tho
preparation of foods for cooking Meats are
all seasoned and spiced before their introduc-
ton into stew or a ragout and the greatest
attention is paid to sauces and graves AS an
example of their preliminary caro- for aavors.

herbs so that when they were cooked the flesh
emitted subtle perfume.
Borschi is sort Of stew made from stock
into which are put cooked beets, cabbage,
green peppers and onions cut into very small
pieces. Just before taking from the fire the
juice Of a lemon is added to this and it is
served with thick sour cream.
The piroshki that is served with borschi
is made by taking yeast-raised dough fin

into squares, which to be spread with
chopped meat and fried cabbage Oeft-overs

Blinchiki is another dish which we should
appropriate in the interests both of economy
and variety. 1t is sort of thin pancake
made Of eggs and water, fried as thin AS

also, in which case the stufing may be of pre-
serves or chopped fruits nuts. Two eggs

they are delicious.

mixtures and they much favored.
The Russians kiSselle is luscious dessert.
Take any fruit juice, though the Russians usu-
ally prefer that of cranberries, boiled, strained
starch pudding, pour it into the fruit juice
and serve.
The black bread mentioned is easily made
and quickly learns to like it for variety.
To a little lukewarm water in which quar-
ter cake of yeast has been dissolved add
quart of sour milk and tablespoonful of
sugar. Then mix in sufficient rye -four to
make stiff batter, work the mixture and
knead for fifteen minutes. Cover and let
rise over night in warm place. In the morn

lOaves in creased pans, allow to rise till light

THE Y, W, C, A, HAS Been.
81 YEARS.

The Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION has fifty-two years of ex-
perience back of it. When war was
declared it had its field and national
officers and staff of secretaries ready
for any emergency, and was imme-
diately recognized by the United
States Government as one of the
agencies for war work. The scope
and success of its work is universally
known.
The first of the three thousand
counties in the United States was or
gained exactly ten years ago. To-
day we have twenty-seven County
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tiOns and seventeen in process of or
ganization. Field secretaries in charge
of the work are called town and coun-
try secretaries. Some of the secre-
taries are specialists along different
lines of our town and county work
The National Young Women's
Association has divided the United
States into eleven fields. Each field
comprises several states. Each field
has headquarters office with field
staff On this staff are field secre-
taries who are responsible for city,
student, town and country work.
We have 100000 girls in the
United States, outside of cities. These
girls are facing new problems today,
assuming great responsibilities, sud-
denly changing their plans and their
veins of life.
Since the men have gone to war
there has been general shaking up
and shifting everywhere, and more
will be required of women than ever
before. The men over there are COM
ing back changed. They have lived
intensely; they have made the su-
preme sacrifice, that righteousness
may prevail on the earth.
They're going by the Upper Road,
for that still holds the sun;
They're travelling through life's pas
lures, where the starry rivers run.
If you should try to seek them in
their old dark abode,
You'll find this writing on the door,
"They're on the Upper Road.
How many of our 100000 girls
who live outside of our cities are go
ing to join them on this Upper Road
when they come back, and be ready
to help in the reconstruction period
that is to follow?
Acounty Y. W. C. A. would help
because it unites all the girls of a
county in a national movement, and
for local betterment. The response
in Marietta has been admirable.

HELP IN WINNING THE
FIGHT FOR HIGHER COTTON

The special notice of N. K. Smith,
proprietor of the Standard Mercan-
tile Co., that to help the farmers
win the fight for higher prices if of
special interest to all working people.
In the face of advancing prices and
higher costs this store full of staple
and most useful goods will, during
the holidays sell clothing, shoes, hats,
underwear and many other necessary
articles in limited quantities at spec
ial reduced prices. Many of these
goods so offered cannot be re-pur-
chased in the present advancing mar
ket at the prices named, and as he
states. it is a real friendly and pa
even for a while the high costs and
triotic act to keep these cut down,
help many who need these very goods
get them at big saving-and every
saving now counts. Nothing is cheap
now; all goods are gradually gong
up and this is a genuine sacrifice on
the part of the Standard. Will help
win for higher cotton by saving mon
ey to consumers, and make this mon
ey last longer and buy more. adv

TIME TO OVERHAUL FARM
MACHINERY

The proper time for overhauling
farming machines is during their per-
iod of inactivity and before the rush
of spring work 1t put off until
needed, delay incident to getting re-
pair party promptly, press of other
work, and the hazy recollection of the
past seasons difficulties may hinder
the efficient prosecution of this work.
At the end of the seasons work
it is a plan we'll worth while to
make out a schedule of needed re-
pairs and adjustments for particu-
lar machine and file it in a conven-
lent place so when opportunity arises
the work may be taken up and prose-
outed expeditiously. The machine it
self represents capital invested. 1t
should be housed properly and not
left in a fence corner or other out
of-the-way place for wooden parts to
rot and metal parts to rust, which,
even for short periods, may cause
more deterioration than the seasons
