Hoosier Pie Is Made Without
Use of Lard or Wheat Flour

Mrs. G. G. Olmstead, residing near
Evansville, Ind, is the originator of
the "Hoover pie" and her success was
such that many of the other women
of the neighborhood are introducing
the pie to their families.N Not bit of
lard or particle of wheat flour is
used in making the pie. The pie is
made by beating three eggs we'll with
half cupful of sugar and half a cup
full Of graham flour. A little salt and
some flavoring are added. The mix
ture is then stirred into a pint of milk
and the pie is ready for the oven. No
crusts are made. The mixture is
poured into q well-greased pan and
baked. The graham flour in the mix
ture forms lower crust and when
the pan is removed from the oven 1t
contains a custard pie which carries
all the flavor Of the Old-fashioned kind
and yet defies the strictest test of the
food lnistratien. The pan may be
creased with my kina of meat grease.

Rest Rooms For
Rural Women

Rest rooms have been established In
more than 200 counties in the United
States to meet the needs of the coun-
try woman in town on business. They
provide place, says the United States
department of agriculture, where the
farm woman has right, without ask
ing any favors, to the use of facilities
for rest and refreshment. They have
been established by women's rural or
CARNATIONS in cooperation with other
local organizations, with individuals,
and with village, town, or county au'
thorities; by business corporations
operating private city markets, ana
by individual merchants. Where farm
women's organizations have been In
terested in establishing rest rooms, To-
cal farm womens clubs have been able
to arouse the necessary community IN
terest in the need for rest rooms to IN
sure their financial support. This mas
been done through cooperating with
other local farm women's clubs, with
organizations OF women in town. with
civic leagues, with chambers OF COM
merce, and with county agents.
In cooperating with other clubs In
establishing a rest room, any local
farm woman's club may take the 1nl-
tiative. Opportunity is given at club
meetings for discussing the need for
q rest room, and other local clubs may
be asked to arrange similar discus
sions. Such cooperation is facilitated
in rural communities where local CLUBS
meet together for joint sessions three
or four times year.
Through their organizations town
and country women have co-operateu
in providing rest rooms near railroad
stations. where the waiting-room IA
cilities at the stations were made
auate. They have co-operated in estaD-
fishing libraries which provide conve-l
nient and adequate rest rooms for town
and country women. Aroused commu-
nity interest frequently results in Sc
curing vacant room in the town hall.
county courthouse, public market, or
other public building.
Frequently the county agent, as the
representative of the rural interests of
a county, will take the initiative and
secure the cooperation of the cham
her Of commerce or the county commits
sioners.
Frequently rest rooms are provided
in dry goods stores and in grocery
stores. A rest rom at Kalamazoo,
Mich. has been in use since 1852, and
has become the common meeting place
for country people living In different
directions from the city. The number
of country women dealing with these
husines houses warranted the estab-
lishment of rest rooms by the proprie-
TORS to meet the needs of their GUS
toners.

Value of Entertainment
of Soldiers Proved When
Band Is Sent From u. S.

A letter recently received in this
country from Col. William Hayward,
former New York public service COM
missioner, illustrating the value Of en-
tertainment for soldiers, describes the
sensation produced in France by a
negro band from the United States,
whose membership also included mu-
sicians from Cuba and Porto Rico. The
cost of organizing the band and send
ing it to France was $4,000, which
was paid by Daniel G. Reid.
When subscriptions were being
raised Mr.. Reid was the first man
asked to contribute. He asked the to-
tai amount required, and when told
$4,000, he is said to have remarked
"Ill pay the whole check"
The band is headed by Lieutenant
Europe, who before the war days con-
Quoted the orchestra of the Forty
fourth street theater roof. Colonel
Hayward in his letter also said:
"a lot of things are no fun, and one
year ago 1 would have thought them

where? Rain means nothing but a
little bit--not much-deeper mud.
Still nobody has any kick to squeal
about, and all hands are so pleased
to think they weren't left at home out
Of this beautiful party that optimism
reigns supreme. OF course we know
absolutely nothing about the war or
how it's going except in our own little
neck Of the woods, and really don't
care.

thing over here. I don't believe any
money ever bought as much pleasure
and happiness for human beings as
did Daniel G.. Reid's in this instance"

BACK YARD POULTRY:

Uncle Sam expects you TO keep hens
add raise chickens, even though you
do reside In a town or city.
Two hens in the back yard for each
person in the house will keep a fam
lily in fresh eggs.
The smallest back yard has room
for flock large enough to supply the
house with eggs. The cost of MAIN
tanning such a flock is small.
Table and kitchen waste provides
much of the feed for the hens and
they require but little attention.
An interested child, old enough to
lake a little responsibility, can care
FOR few fowls as well as a grown
person.
Every back yard should contribute
its share TO bumper crop" of poul-
try and eggs in 1913. Perhaps not
:alI will find it profitable to raise
chicks in town, but nearly everyone
can well keep few hens. The OBJ
lection to the Growing of the cock"
can be overcome by keeping no cock.
This will not affect egg production in
the least.
The house for the backyard flock
should be inexpensive. A piano box
or other large box may readily be
converted into suitable residence for
the hens, and the runs may be very
small.
Good hens, well cared for. will pro-
duce from ten to fifteen dozen eggs
annually.

WHEN RUSSIA FAILS
By George E. Bowen of the Vigilantes

No use to cry over Russia's spilled
milk.
But very important to prevent sim
liar catastrophe in our own lives.
Russia's deficit changes the world
balance.
What is our shortage?
Russia's wasn't 100 per cent.
She's trying mighty hard to get out
of the $3.50 class.
Realizing the ruinous futility OF
serving dozen masters, Russia is try
ing to become master Of herself.
Can we say as much ?-You and L?
What is our little pet personal des-
potism?
Have we cast 1t out, in the name OF
efficiency and perfect fitness for the
world service calling us?
Russia is the sore toe of the allied
cause.
Makes the whole movement of hui
mainly stumble.
Has our personal patriotism sore
toe--or broken arm, or lost voice?
Is our sympathy bandaged over one
eye?
Is our loyalty punctured?
Is our first duty to humanity VIC
tim of prejudice, procrastination or
perversity?
Russia is an awful warning!
The greatest thing in the world to-
day is to be right and ready!
That's the least we owe to the Big
gest Cause.
Be fit to go forward with the true
faith.
Every man must see his own heart.
Every man must put his mind in or
der to square with the great fact: a
kaiserless world.
Russia has shown us the way, by
| falling down in it.
Today is the day our own soul must
decide!
Not half way. Not roundabout. Not
by compromise or contradiction. Not
by secret treaties with our personal
despot. Not by any style of self
camouflage.
Today-We must go the whole way
Give up all to win all
Call it the Day of Conservation
and remember Russia

WastefuInesS Is Sinful; 1t
Is a Crime When the Nation
Calls for Thrift-P0interS.

The lover of thrift is often confront
ed by directions for household econ
omy emanating, as trial shows, from
abstract, rather than practical, domes-
tic science. Try these suggestions
from an old-fashioned New England
housewife:
1. Eggs are not needed for a rice
pudding.
2. Milk is not needed in cake made
with baking powder.
3. Milk is not needed for any kind
of whole wheat bread. Even when
milk abounds and is cheap, water is
preferable.
4. Half, or even quarter, of yeast
cake will raise a good amount of bread
for baking.
5. "War Cake which calls for q
package of raisins and much shorten.
ing is not economical.
6. Do not allow servant to throw
out remnants of shredded wheat left
In the bottom of the box. More than
cupful is often so lost.
z. An unstrained soup made from
remnants of yesterdays meat makes 6
good meal. No meat course is re-
CURED Herewith.
s. Are you careful to make as
many pies as possible from one
squash?
8. Are you careful to allow every
bit of the white to drain, or to scrape
it, from an egg which you break?
10. Neither broken crackers MOI
the crumbs in the bottom Of the box
should be thrown away. Use them
for fish, oysters, etc.
IL. Memoranda of all sorts, as well
as rough drafts of Mss, may be kept
on pieces of wrapping paper. This is
the kind of economy which good house
wives practiced during the Civil war.
II. Remember that the old New
Englander considered wastefulness
even among the rich, sinful. 1t is 9
crime when the nation calls for thrift

Efficient Lovemaking Man
Is One Favored by Majority
of Women, Asserts a Writer

To woman the most interesting
thing about man is his relation to
women. His manner of loving-or re-
fusing to love-iS what really interests
her. According to a writer in the New
York Mail, when q woman meets a
man she sizes him up, not as a lawyer
or musician. or an actor, but as
lover. What sort Of husband would
he make?
Says Miss Sydney Shields, once a
newspaper woman, now an actress: "a
certain physician. friend of mine,
once told me that, other things be-
ing equal, a woman would in nine
cases out of ten choose a man who had
loved many won on in preference to a
man who had loved none. Most scien-
lists agree with this"
1 think 1t is Havelock Ellis who ex-
plains it in this wise: Experience
with many women gives mans choice
greater value, and, secondly, the more
a man has sinned in this direction
the greater the woman's chance to
raise him to her own level. Every
woman will admit that she prefers the
man whom other women desire. As
ABE" Potash remarks, woman looks
on every other woman as a competi-
tor. Even If other women don't really
desire the husband whom she loves,
she will still imagine they do, and
wOnan's imagination let loose Is a
fearful and wonderful thing.
II have discussed this subject with
different kinds OF women. The con-
Sensus of feminine opinion seems to
be that the wholly inexperienced Ro-
meo is pill The man of the world

How Germans Destroyed

Apart from their cruelty to human
beings, one of the worst offenses per-

trees, notes the Indianapolis Star.
Wantonly to destroy orchards and for

own, where only certain number of
trees are allowed to be felled each
year, but sweepingly, leaving the land

needed to restore these forests, and
trees are needed for the welfare of
every land.

careless with our forests; they have
not been protected as they should be

OF them away to make the farms. Now
we are beginning to realize their value

Pig Skins, Now Wasted, Good
For Shoes, Finest SaddIery,
And Fancy Leather Articles

There has been an enormous de-
crease in cattle and hogs in the United
States and elsewhere. There are A.
100000 fewer hogs in this country than
there were a year ago. Hogs, play a
most important part in the present
crisis. The losses from cholera have
been enormous, and the government Is
sending hog cholera experts into the
states to help in the work Of cholera
control.
There is one source of loss that
should be considered, and it does not
pertain to disease, writes George A.
Glover Of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Leather is scarce, and in the
countries that have been the longest in
war, the scarcity of leather is possibly
causing the most concern. Pig skins
are wasted and they make the finest
Of leather. 1t has been tested, and
found to be highly satisfactory for
shoes and it makes the finest saddle
and fancy leather goods.
The rind on pork chops is not nee
essary, in the modern methods Of cur
ing meats. 1t is paid for by the con-
sumner, is total loss, and is a con-
slant menace because of the fact that
uncooked pork rinds in garbage spread
hog cholera.
Of all the domesticated animals
the hog is the most prolific, makes the
greatest gains, provides the greatest
variety Of food products, thriyes on
the greatest variety of foods and or
dinarily gives the quickest returns on
the investment. AT the present time
nothing should be wasted. Why not
save the pig skin? -
