Schedule for Families

In many households which have been
gradually lowering the amount of wheat
-four and wheat in bread used by their
families 1t will be possible and practical
to eliminate wheat entirely. In the face
Of the acute need for saving wheat at
this time and in the months before the
next harvest many women will be eager
to save the maximum. and to this end
they may we'll draw up a little schedule
OF rules for themselves.
There will be no bread served at din
ner of any kind. Potatoes or rice will
supply the need of starch food, and
the abundance and variety of the meal
will make 1t a very simple matter to
omit all breadstuffs
Desserts containing wheat will be
eliminated. Cakes can be made sue
cessfully of barley, corn -four or rice
flour. Pies, If allowed to appear at all,
Will have but one crust and that will be
a war crust made of barley or cornmeal.
And most of the desserts will be simple
fruit or gelatin dishes or rice or tapioca
puddngs.
At breakfast cereal can always take
the place of bread. Or mullins or spoon
breads can be served, made entirely
without wheat.
At luncheon the family is scattered,
but for those who lunch at home pota-
toes or a dessert made of rice or oat-
meal can be served, or some such dish
as polenta or baked rice with cheese
And the members of the family who eat
lunch away from home viii carefully
watch their choice of ordered and pur-
chased food to see that no wheat creeps
in unaware.
Soups and graves will be thickened
with cornstarch, rice water or barley
flour. Macaroni and spaghetti will never
be served.

President Of the Business Women's Chris
tian League OF Philadelphia.
TT IS difficult to realize the extent TO
i which war conditions have already
increased the number Of women and
girls in business and industry. Not
only are they occupying the places of
men who have been called into ma
tional service. but the business expan-
sion is constantly creating new posi-
tions which perforCe are filed by women.
II Is imperative, therefore, that we
should seriously consider them, for their
efficiency will depend largely upon the
provision made for their welfare and
upon their efficiency will depend much
of the structure of business.
In Philadelphia, the Business Women's
Christian League is meeting the needs
Of many Of these young women, the
membership of the organization being
over 2300 The origin OF the league Is
interesting.
Following the close Of the Sunday
campaign in this city. during which
thousands Of young business women and
girls had been gathering in meetings
at the lunch hour I'm Bible classes ana
in council meetings. there arose an
Urgent call to make Of this remarkable
association permanent organization
with a central meeting place. Inc re-
suit was the formation of the league
and in October, 1915. It's hrst nome
was oDened at l104 Girard street.
THE demolishing of this property to

quarters. and in the summer OF lglo the

Aside from the question OF style, how
ever. there are several reasons which
commend to the practical woman the
purchase of a neckpiece or stole at this

the shops are offering their stock at
greatly reduced prices.
Take, for instance, the quaint little
