What Women Can DO

Allies My recipe for corn bread has
always called for from one-third to
one-half of white -four TO give the
bread the need moisture. But now
use that amount of well-mashed
potatoes instead of -four. For those
who use all corn meal this will also
be a great saving and make your
corn bread a hundred per cent bet
ter. and only about half as eNpen-
sive The bread will be even better
than when -four is used. Have just

Red Cross Notes

Two boxes have been sent out by
the Red Cross this week. one of hos
pital supplies and one of knitted
goods
Do not let your interest in knit
ting lag for minute. II is hoped
that everyone who can will knit
right along throughout the year.
The more knitting you do now the
better the boys will be provided for
and taken care of next winter. Many
of them did not even have sweaters
this past winter. If any one has the
impression that the knitting is to be
let up on through the spring and
summer It is a very mistaken idea.
The Red Cross desires to thank
the Boise Payette Lumber company
for the packing boxes they are us
ing.
Now that school has opened NJ
again the Junior Red Cross work will
be resumed.
Remember the Dance and Com
munity Sing on Easter Monday. APP
ril 1st The Sing is to renew inter
est and knowledge of the old-fash
toned songs and the patriotic airs
that all who will may become &C
ouainted with our own national air
as we'll as those of the Allies. 1t i
hoped there will be a good crowd 4
help the Red Cross.
