Electric Fans Expedite
Convalescence 5oPer Cent

Beside this, there has been a fine
record of activity with the Red Cross
and in corporation with other pa
triotic societies.
The next step is to send a consign-
,ment of electric fans to the hospital
at Fort Riley for the comfort of the
sick boys through the heated season.
Electric Fans.
Mrs. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
national superintendent of soldiers
and sailors work, recently wrote to
the authorities in charge OF hospitals
at every United States cantonment
asking about the need for electric fans
and how many could be used. One
hospital wired at once, "Send 100
fans" and from every cantonment
came the grateful appeal for that spe-
eies OF comfort that means so much
to sick men. One officer declared it
would expedite convalescence 50 per
cent. So immediate was the response
that extraordinary means are being
used to flll the need.
Nebraska is constituent to Fort RI
ley and her fans will go there. They
will be provided through the National
Women's Christian Temperance union
by an arrangement Mrs. Hobson has
made with a wholesale house, at the
price OF $2S per fan. An appeal is
being made to Nebraska communities
TO secure funds for at least one fan
and send it through the State Wo-
mems Christian Temperance union at
once.
The state officers met in Lincoln
yesterday; at which time action refer
ring to the above was taken.

Dundee Woman Inaugurates
Unique Sugar Saving Plan

The sugar situation is the one topic
OF conversation, from the wholesale
merchant down to the housewife.
Every home-maker has been ap-
pointed food controller in her own
home, and those who have a loyal,
patriotic spirit, instead of complain
ing about present conditions, should
sive thanks that they have food to
control.
To save sugar we can reduce the
given amount in almost any recipe
without serious results either as to
flavor or texture. If dates, raisi..3,
figs or prunes are used with break
fast foods, in mullins, cookies or cakes,
little sugar need be added, as these
fruits contain so much natural sugar
1t proves quite satisfactory to substi-
tute corn syrup for sugar, Using half
the amount of sugar required and an
equal amount of syrup. Honey. glu-
cose and corn syrup are acceptable in
nearly all cases where sugar is re-
quired. Where honey is available
one cup will sweeten a dish about
as much as an equal amount of sugar.

great credit to these wagons as a
method of furnishing refreshment to
the worn and hungry men just from
the front lines. One Of these kitchens
has been financed by the women of
Otoe county, and one by those OF
Garfield county. The other two have
come from contributions from all
over the state. The wagons will bear
the inscription, Presented by the

ply one kitchen, but the old adage has
proven true, "that the more you give
the more you want to give" and so, in
spite of a multiplicity of drives, the
result has been four kitchens instead
of one.

SCARCITY OF

NOW LOOMS Up

It doesn't make any difference who
repairs your old furs, or, who makes

Dresher Brothers, the Immense
Cleaners and Dyers, at 2211-2217
Farnam st., Omaha, already have oc-
casion to know that there is an I'M
precedented shortage of expert fur
workers, and this shortage is becom-
ing more pronounced each day.
There never were any too many eX-
pert fur workers in the first place, so,
when one notes how great the inroad
made by the military drafts one
realizes that the field Ia curtailed.
Add to this the future drafts, and the
possibilities Of fur workers engaging
in other war work.
Dresher Brothers are most sincere
when they say: "Bring in your fur
pieces to be repaired, or have new
pieces made up during the summer
months" You'll get cheaper price
IndI way anyway, Tor turner's al
ways make inducements during the
hot season.
Dreshers also wish tS call to the
attention OF the "neglectfu1 few"
that their (Dresher's) Concrete and
Steel Fur Storage Vaults have still
room for few more lots Of furs for
storage over the summer. If you

Some interesting experiences arc
related about the new sugar require
ments:
One lady in Dundee puts the daily
allowance of sugar in the sugar bowl
each morning, and whatever is LETT at
the close of the day is emptied into q
dish in the pantry. When sufficient
amount has been accumulated the
family may have pie or cake. AS
there are two cups of sugar to the
pound and l6 level tablespoonfuls OF
sugar in a cup, it is easy to figure out
the daily allowance.
The food thrift program includes
the drying Of fruits and vegetables
This method of food preservation has
its advantages and is economical. Lit
tie storage space is required for dried
foods, there is scarcely any loss OF
flavor or food value, and dried prod
ucts can be stored in reeeptacles that
cannot be used for canning. -,
Drying is simple process and the
cost very slight. The heat of the
oven or that OF the sun will do the
work. Do not wait until you have a
bushei of beans, carrots or corn. but
dry a little each day as the supply is
available. Full information may be
secured at any of the instruction
classes or by special appointment,

Omaha Woman Who
Has a CALI Curci
Voice

Omaha has many celebrities to its
credit. but now comes Mrs. Ethel
Richardson with CALI Curei voice,
according to critics, and Mr.. 1nnes.
who has engaged her as soloist for the
season with his famous ehautauqua
band.
Mrs. Richardson has systenatized
her whole life, she says, in order that
she might have time to study music
and for years worked with the in
tention of becoming concert
pianist. Fate plays queer tricks, how
ever, to turn mortals into their
destiny and bring to light their most
precious gifts. Not until Mrs. Rich
ardson suffered an accident to her
right hand did she give her voice first
place, but from that time on the
richness Of her wonderfully sweet
coloratura soprano voice took all hon
ors from the lesser lights.
Like, and yet unlike Anna Case,
Mrs. Richardson has scrubbed floors,
but they were not the floors Of the
court house or some famous Ma
sonic temple-they were the floors Of
hers own home whidh she declares
she never neglected minute.
