HOME ECONOMICS.

(By Home Demonstration Agent)
In years past we have noticed
women vie with each other in seeing
how big a meal and what variety they
could give the threshers when they
came to their home.
No One to be Starved.
This year all is changed. Don't
think, men, we are going to starve
you. Not at all But we are going to
conform to the best interests of the
women (women first, you know, the
food in the country and Uncle Sam
In many counties they have organized
by townships to have the men get
breakfast and supers at home and
only dinners where they are working.
Marion and Wright counties as we'll as
others have agreed to do this and have
more definite plans along this line,
Let's have Delaware county not be-
hind. Let every woman township d.
rector in Delaware county get behind
this movement and boost it. Let the
women organize for this. Below Is a
conservation dinner menu, as mere
suggestion:
Roast pork, gravy, mashed potatoes,
string beans, pickles, radishes or
beets. Dessert, lettuce and salad.
| fruit and wheatless cake or one-crust
pie of custard or lemon. Serve loaf
bread made day before, containing no
wheat, baking powder, etc. Coffee.
Recipe for Rye Bread.
Here is a recipe for rye bread. Try
it. Don't stop using rye. You can
make satisfactory yeast bread using
rye with les wheat than any other
kind of yeast bread. Try the follow
ing recipe: One cup liquid, milk,
water of one-half recipe. Two table
spoons molasses, one cup corn flour.
one cup rye flour aor meal, one tea
spoon salt, one-ha4f yeast cake dis
solved in two tablespoons luke warm
water, one cup wheat -four, about.
Scald liquid, add salt and molasses.
When luke warm add dissolved yeast,
all of the corn -four and enough rye
flour to make thick batter. Beat
we'll. Let rise until very light and
hubby. Add remainder Of rye -four
and enough whaet flour to knead med
ium stiff dough. Let rise until doubled
in size. Fold into loaf, place in pan.
When again doubled in size bake about
fifty minutes.
These wheatless biscuits are very
good: One cup rolled oats, after
grinding in a food CHOPPER; two table
spoons fat, one teaspoon salt, one cup
rye flour, four teaspoons baking pow,
der, liquid to make soft dough; mix
as usual for drop biscuits; use all
level measurements.
A leaflet on "How to can and yet
save sugar." is now in the office and
you may call at any time now and
get these valuable suggestions. Don't
wait till the supply is all gone. Come
at once or phone and the home dem
onstration agent will have it mailed
to you.
What Women Should Read.
We would like to call the attention
of our women to the following articles
in the current magazines, to be found
inthe public library: Winning the
War Crumb at a Time" by Bruce
Barton, June 8, Every Week; "a
Week Without Wheat" June, Woman's
Home Companion; "You or She? One
of the Other Must Do It," by Dr. Tay-
lor, June Ladies' Home Journal: DR..
Wiley's article GAS to Sugar; Save It,"
in July Good Housekeeping.
A wheat saving, sugar saving dem
onstration at Oneida was very we'll
attended and great interest was shown.
Thirty-eight ladies were present and
this certainly speaks we'll for Oneida's
patriotism. This meeting was held in
the finely equipped laboratory of the
domestic science department of the
consolidated school there.
Don't forget the canning demonstra-
ton to be given Wednesday afternoon
at the court house at 2 O'Clock, July
II. So many women have asked for
this, so let's be sure and come.
The baby food show and demonstra-
lions will be held in the building two
doors west of The Press office. Friday
and Saturday, July 10 and 20. All
mothers interested in good and proper
food for the Riddles please call.
The demonstration at Buck Creek
was postponed on account of haying.
All were so busy the women could not
attend This will be held later.
A wheat saving, sugar saving dem
onstration was held at the court room
last Wednesday, July 10th. Mrs. Will
Mcintosh and Mrs. c. M. Morgan acted
as hostesses for the occasion, while
Miss Ruth Mcintosh of Ames assisted
Miss Hastings in giving the demon
stration. There have been many calls
since for wheatless recipes and sugar
saving suggestions, so the docrtine of
quick breads, etc, seems to becoming
ponular in Manchester
