said against including meat in the
diet of young children.
We recognize Immediately that
most of the typical protein foods are
expensive foods; so an immediate
reason comes for keeping the guam
tity down. There is another rea-
son, much less apparent. Every bit
of protein we eat beyond what we
need Immediately, is broken down
in the body and excreted through
the kidneys. Large amounts of pro-
tein in the diet mean heavy work
for the kidneys-and sometimes lat
err in life they break down under
the strain. There used to be nutri-
ton experts who advocated large
amounts of protein and others who
advocated much smaller amousts.
Now the tide has turned in favor
of the smaller amounts, though
moderate thinkers do not yet go
to the lower extreme. Something
less than three ounces of protein
per person per day, is advocated
now.
The Half Ounce Protein Portion.
In order to judge the amount of
protein one is eating daily, here are
some approximate measures offered
by the government. The following

OF protein:
One pint milk, whole or skim.

SOCIETY
Honoring Miss Baum.

When Miss Katherine Baum visits
in Omaha it is quite like home
coming for we still claim this
charming girl, even though her home
is now in the east. Every day of her
stay has been filled with affairs, for
hex friends have WED with each other
in making her stay pleasant one.
The sweeping closing order has
made a number of changes in the
parties planned for Miss Baum, but
the young girls are ingenious and
have outwitted even as august a
body as the city council, for we
have heard of several delightful din
ner parties, when certain interesting
officers were included in the guest
list. Attracted by the glorious In
dian summer weather, Miss Helen
Walker had planned motor picnic
in Miss Baum's honor, but she found
it necessary to postpone the affair
until this, week. Friday Miss Walker
invited a few guests in fora cozy
luncheon and the party, which in
cluded Miss Baum, Miss Esther Will
helm and Miss Erna Reed, had a
delightful time around the pretty
luncheon table while the rain pat
tered against the windows.

Value of "Wire prauMork.0

"Wire dragwork" Is a technical ex-
preston used in connection with the
making Of coast surveys and the map
ping Of ocean waters. Such surveys
are necessary in order to chart the
routes of coastwise traffic and in MAX
Ing them the ocean is dragged below
the surface to discover hidden dangers
to navigation. This is done with a
wire instrument constructed for this
purpose, and 1t sometimes discloses
dangers unknown and unsupported be-
fore. The secretary of commerce says
in his annual report: zone of the rocks
discovered in Alaska is truly sort Of
submerged Washington monument, ex-
cept that it is taller than the monu-

bottom of the channel to within IT

by deep water on all sides and is now

at is my observation" said Mr.. Bill
tops, that we all of us have, con-
sciously or unconsciously, some one
peculiarly in which our friends must
indulge us.
"Now take Mrs. Billtops; the gen.
tlest, the most forbearing, the most
serenely patient person on the face
of the earth. You wouldn't think that
Mrs. Billtops had any strange notion
in which she must be humored. But
she has just one, the same being that
Ii is possible to carry an umbrella over
her in such a manner as to shelter
her completely. In this notion I
humor her as far as can, but know
that whenever we go anywhere In the
rain am in for trouble.
II hold the umbrella way over on
her side, always protecting her hat as
far as possible, and calmly letting the
rain drip down on my own hat and
shoulder, but no matter how / carry
1t l simply cannot carry III to suit her.
I always carry Ii wrong In some way,
not far enough over or too high or
too low.
"'Can't you see that It's crushing
my featherP Mrs. Billtops says to me
in tone low but of great concentra-
ton, at which I raise the umbrella
little, and then q moment later:
Don't you see that the rain is
blowing in on my hatT she says, and
then hold 1t little lower again, and
/ keep right on all the time doing the
best ! lnow how. though. the simple
fact is that no man living could
shelter any woman completely under
an umbrella unless he had one as big
rs the dome Of the capitol at Wash
inEton.

with Mrs. Billtops with an umbrella,
its elimination coming after we get
home, when she shakes her coat and
her skirts and says: 4 am just soak
inGr But 1t lis soon over after that.
'You might think that these occa-
sions would he a dread to me, but the
fact Is quite TO the contrary; for IL is
by these little human lapses on Mrs.
Billtop's part that am made to
realize more fClly and gratefully the
blessing of her all but perennial Sc

PREPARE EARLY FOR
SUMMER EARNINGS,
SAYS STATE DIRECTOR

The Importance of preparing early
for the summers canning work is be-
ing emphasized by Miss M. Il. Sprague,
Home Economics Director for Con-
necticut, Miss Sprague is anxious that
every woman make sure that she has
sufficient quantity Of Jars on hand as
early as possible. She suggests that
the housewife make a list of the
canned fruits and vegetables she win
need during the coming year and check
this with the number of glass jars on
hand and, If necessary, take Immediate
steps for securinr . further supply,
since there Is possibility of short
rye Ia some sections OF the state.
I.ubDers should not b. used a sec
md t'mr, according 10 Miss Sprague,
and tho housewife should insure a
plentiful supply o. these before the
canning season opens.
Attention is also called to the series
of canning schools which is being con-

The use of cottage cheese as cheap
source of food and an outlet for the sur
plus milk of the State is being encour-
| aged by the Connecticut Agricultural
College and the Committee of Food
Supply of the State Council of Defense,
who are conducting an educational
campaign on this subject in co-opera-
ton with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
1t is pointed out by the experts on
this subject that cottage cheese is
| practically equal in food value pound
for pound to lean round steak, being
equally valuable as source of protein
and almost as valuable as q source of
minerals and energy units. Cottage
cheese also furnishes as much protein,
more minerals and half as much ener-
gy value as one dozen large eggs. BY
the use of this food in the diet 1t is
declared possible to reduce the meat
bills at least one-half.
Cottage cheese may bc made from
either buttermilk or Skinned milk
where it cannot he purchased in thC
! local market. The fCiiOwin method Is
advocated by the United States Dc
| partment Of Agriculture: Place the
skinned milk in a saucepan or other
convenient receptacle and warm to 70
! degrees, using a thermometer If one
is available in order that the milk may
not be heated above this temperature
and then stir in q quantity of good
sour milk, using a cupful of sour milk
to one gallon of skinned milk. The
cheese should be allowed to stand on
, the back Of the stove or in O warm
room in order that the temperature
may be maintained as nearly as posi-
| bic at 70 degrees. At the end of
| twelve or fifteen hours the milk should
! be thick, the curd having formed. The
curd should be cut into one inch
squares and cooked for thirty minutes
at 100 degrees, stirring 1t every five
minutes. A double boiler may be used
or the receptacle may be placed On hot
water. If the temperature is allowed
to go above 100 degrees the cheese will
be tough and inferior in quality. At
the end of the half hour cooking the
curd should be drained In q cheese
cloth sack or q trainer. When the
| whey has ceased to flow the cheese
| should be turned on to q dish, sprin-
kled with salt and worked with a
spoon. 1t is then ready to use.
| If desired cottage cheese may be
made by the use of rennet or junket
Where this system is used 1T Is not nee
essary to cook the cheese after the
curd is formed, IT simply being turned
into a sack for draining at the end of
ten or twelve hours. One-eighth Of q
tablet is sufficient for gallon of skim
med milk.
A number of appetizing dishes
which will give a pleasant variety to
the diet may be prepared from cottage
cheese sausage, cottage cheese loaf,
cottage cheese tarts, cottage cheese
pie and q number of other combina-
tons. The recipe for cottage pie is
as follows
1 cup cottage cheese / tbs. melted fat
2-3 cup sugar u tsp. vanilla
2-3 cup milk Salt
2 egg yoll1s beaten
Mix the ingredients in the order CIV
en-, bake the pie in one crust. Cool
