SOME WAR RECIPES
Recommended by the Office of Home
Economies, State Agricultural
College, New Brunswick, N. j.

Cornmeal Gingerbread.
Gingerbread with apple sauce makes
a dessert which everyone likes. The
following is a recipe for a delicious
gingerbread which contains no wheat
and very little sugar:
l cup barley flour
l cup cornmeal
l t.>soda
Ut. salt
2 t. ginger
1 t. cinnamon
vt cloves
1c. 10 milk
l C. molasses
2 tb. fat
l egg.
Sift together dry ingredients. Com
bine the milk, molasses, melted fat
and beaten egg. Add the liquid in
gradients to the dry. Stir well. Bake
in a moderate oven.
Apple Jam.
There is nothing which tickles the
palate as a good old fashioned apple
jam "just like grandmother used to
make"
Weigh equal quantities brown sugar
and soul apples, add very little water
to sugar and boil until syrupy. Then
add apples, peeled, cored and quar-
tered and grated rinds of 2 or 8 lemons
and a few pieces of white ginger. Boil
until apples look clear and yellow. On
no account omit the ginger. This
resembles foreign sweetmeats.
Apple Jelly.
Wash apples, remove stem and BIOS
som ends and cut into quarters. Put
into a preserving kettle, add enough
cold water to cover and cook until ap-
pies are soft, MASKING them while they
are in the kettle. Drain through a
jelly bag or double thickness of cheese
cloth. Boil the clear juice 20 minutes
and add an equal quantity or a little
less of heated sugar. Boil 5 minutes
or until 2 drops form on the edge of
the spoon when a spoonful is poured
back into the kettle. Skim and turn
into hot sterilized jelly glasses.
Mint Jelly.
Use apples that are white or light
in color and slightly unripe. Wash
mint leaves thoroughly. To one cup
of leaves, packed solidly, add l cup of
boiling water and let stand 1 hour,
then strain through c~heesecloth. To
1 cup apple juice add 1 to 2 table
spoons of mint juice. Follow method
above for apple jelly. Just before
putting jelly into glasses add enough
green color paste dissolved in a
small quantity of cold water) to make
the jelly a delicate green color.

War Conditions

Scarcity of goods, higher prices and
uncertainty of future business condi-
lions make it doubly important for all
to cover their wants early. Do not
put off, for every day is making an
increase in prices. Leather goods,
shoes, underwear, hosiery, gloves, etc
are advancing at a rate that makes
us gasp, and the end is not yet. Be
sides this, there is likely to come a day
very soon when many things will be
out of the market entirely.
Our Stock of Goods is yet pretty
full and our prices are not excessively
high.

USE AMERICAN PROPAGANDA.

Many of our people have entertained
the hope that the German people would
of their own accord rise in revolution,
throw off the yoke of the military caste,
and stop the war.
Yet the German people seem perfect
ly willing to profit by national piracy
and treachcry and brutality if they
can. They need an object lesson that
it pays to play fair
President Wilson S utterances have
had some effect inside Germany toward
creating revolutionary sentiment. But
the masses of the people are held IN
such strict bondage that it is almost
impossible for the spirit of revolt to
get the least organization or Roadway.
The moment such spirit shows itself,
the leaders are clapped into Jail or sent
to death in the advanced trenches.
II will be very poor policy to place
any reliance whatever on hopes of such
revolt in Germany. The more we

WAR CHEST PROS AND CONS

Henry b. Endicott, food administra.
tor of Massachusetts and one of tho
most active and patriotic residents of
that state. has issued statement ont
lining his obicctiors to the war cbost
plan Of providing funds for relief
work. They are, in brief, that it does
away with the individual effort and ON.
thusiasm that are derived from I snc.
cession Of drives, and that it furnishes
ught-hsted folk an opportunity to make
smaller contributions than otherwise
they would be obliged to make.
With due regard for Mr.. Endicott :
opinion, which Is shared by a good
many persons connected with relief or
CARNATIONS, The Reformer is vet 70 ba
convinced that the advantages of tbe
war chest plan do not far outweigh its
disadvantages. In the first nlaco II
cannot be denied that the war chest
method, if properly carried out. spreads
the burden far more eauitablv than anv
other plan yet devised. As to the en-
thusiasm inspired by a succession of
drives it is a serious question whether
1t is actually more valuable than fine
individual responsibility each war
chest subscriber is made to feel as his
pledge becomes due each month. There
IS Furthermore the distinct ADVANTAGE
OF providing persons Of limited means
a way to give much more than other
wise they would feel able to give.
1t IS true, perhaps, that some war
charities through strong emotional ap-
peal would be able to get more by a
specialized campaign than the war
chest will provide, but a fact to be re-
mcmbcrcd in this connection is that the
charity which did so benefit would be
proiiting at the expense of some 9th
or equally meritorious but perhaps less
well organized cause.
From its experience with the war
chest plan thus far Brattleboro feel,
not only that it is doing more in the
way Of war relief than it would do in
any other way but that it is doing it
more efficiently, with less duplication
of effort and without the loss of anv
personal responsibility in the various
individual causes.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-05-08

think about that hope, the more we
shall slacken our preparation for war
to the finish. Nothing but force will
beat anything into the German head.
Nevertheless, our government should
continue IN the most quiet way pos
slble, the endeavor to show the German
people the truth about the war. It will
not cause any such organized revolt as
broke up Russia. But if the German
masses can be shown how grossly and
cruelty they have been deceived, they
may lose some heart for the war, and
nation that loses heart is never a
winner
1t should be possible to find some
way of distributing literature in the
German language and the various Aus
trian tongues throughout those empires.
Something has been accomplished al
ready. Revolutionary literature is re-.
ported as being freely circulated on
the streets of Berlin. Our government
should find the means and machinery

SOLDIERS HAVE CHANCE
OF COMING BACK HOME

In recent address, Allen Alberts
gave some war mortality statistics,
also as to recoveries from severe
wounds. According to his figures
more soldiers will return from war
than many mothers imagine. These
are his figures as to soldiers
chances:
Has twenty-nine chances of coming
hon, to one chance of being killed
las ninety-eight chances of recov-
ering from wounds to two chances of
dying.
Has only one chance in 500 of los
ing limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training.
Is freer from disease in the army
than in civil life.
Has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from ten to fifteen
men died from disease to one from
bullets.
This war is less wasteful of life
than any other in history although the
contrary opinion prevails.
