Our AnSwer

Ludendorf said in defiance, "Our
will to victory remains uunbroken.
We settled Russia. We will settle
America"
The victory of St. Mihiel was the
answer of the American army.
What is your answer?
Rem ember, as surely as our army
is fighting the gray horde of Ger
many's fighters, so we at home are
pitted against the civilian population
of Ger many. They are making every
effort to outdo us in saving their
country's resources so that their ar
mics will be able to hold out the
longest. We must dedicate every
hour of every day to the task of beat
ing their efforts with our own.
Knowing this. every housewife will
seize the opportunity of this golden
autumn season in saving the apples
and grapes. How the German women
would like to have our orchards,
laden with ruddy, juicy apples and
our arbors covered with the long,
dropping punches of grapes! They
would not let any go to waste.
Neither shall we!
Store the apples, dry them, can
them. make them into jellies and
butter. Save all the grapes you can
lay your hands on by making them
into the delicious jams, jellies and
marmalades that will make you for
get next winter that butter is high
and sugar is short
The following receipts are two de-
lightful ways of combining apples
with grapes. The second receipt
is from materials left over from the
first grape and apple jelly.
Grape and Apple jelly
Extract the juice from the grapes
and apples in the usual way, combine
the fruit juices in equal parts and
boil the mixture for five minutes to
every cup of juice (first extraetion).
Add 1-3 cup or 8 u ounces sirup or
honey and as cup or ounces of
sugar. Continue the boiling until the
jelly test is obtained. Pour the jelly
into sterilized glasses and seal. This
gives jelly of pleasing red color
and a delicious flavor.
Grape and Apple Marmalade
The pulp left from making grape
and apple jelly may be rubbed
through sieve and combined in any
proportion desired For every
pound (about a pint) of. pulp add 2-3
cup or 7h ounces of sirup and u
cup to " cup of water.
If the pulp is already cooked and
dry 1t may be necessary to add a
little water. About Il to " cup to
a pint of pulp will be sufficient. If
juice has not been extracted for Jelly
no water need be added for juicy
fruit.

Mechanically 1 began to count the
words-just fifty! smiled at myself
for that. and actually laughed in re-
lief How matter of fact Mr.. Mason
was about the robe. His attitude
made me realize that he looked on the
whole episode casually-as Jim did.
I had the telegram in my hands
when I went to the door at the first
click of Jim's latch key. I could greet
Captain Winston without any at
tempts at "finesse." l did so like the
big, blonde Englishman, and I was
so sure of his honest friendship for
my boy and his kindly regard for
that boys wife.
Betty popped in from the kitchen
and I felt Captain Winston's hand
came into the room. Red stained his
bronzed face.
"Jove. Betty. you look wonderful
doing the domestic" he cried. Like
Hebe or one of those ladies from
Mount Olympus. AS If she'd be a
good wife for poor man doesn't she

Jim. what did you do with the

opening through which to introduce
the subject of the telegram.
"Oh. dropped it at his home" re-
piled my husband carelessly. Din

arm through mine and impelling me
kitchenward.
And as 1 reached the door 1 lifted
my hand and tucked Tom Mason's
telegram into the bosom of my dress.

Make the Meals
Simple

To keep pace with the ideas on
general economy advocated by the
United States Food Administration
it is necessary to make the meals
very simple.
Breakfast. - Stewed apricots.
poached eggs, mullins, coffee.
Lunch.-Cornmeal spoon bread,
cabbage baked with cheese. grapes.
Dinner-Beef stew with vege-
tables and Victory dumplings (cab-
bage. turnips. potatoes, carrots), ap-
pie and celery salad, peach whip.
Cornmeal Spoon Bread
Il cup fat and cracklings from
pork, beef or chicken fat, 8 cups
boiling water, / cup cornmeal,
eggs, u teaspoon salt.
Add fat and cracklings to water
and when boiling sprinkle in salt and
cornmeal, stirring constantly. Cook
in a double boiler one hour, cool
and add well-beaten eggs. Turn in
to oiled dish and bake in a moderate
oven three-quarters of an hour.
White cornmeal made from the
whole grain is partially desirable for
this bread. 1t can be made with
nrthern degerminated cornmeal ii
1t is cooked in a double boiler for
anhour. Southern meal needs only
to be scaIded.

When Fresh Vege-
tables Are Scarce

When fall came on and the fresh
vegetables from her war garden
were no longer available she began
to grow worried. She had grown
to depend on a delicious salad for
the chief dish at her noon lunch
con. But by means of her cook
books, bulletins and recollections of
good things she had prepared, she
soon realized that she could continue
to serve salads which were not only
palatable and nourishing but patrio-
tic as well.
This is part of the list which she
kept for reference so that her fam
lily would not grow tired of same
ness in her salads:
F'laked fish, celery and mayon-
naise.
Cabbage. nuts and broiled dress
ing.
Beets, salmon, and boiled or ma
yonnaise dressing.
Chopped turnips with boiled dress
ing.
Cold baked beans with chopped
onion and boiled or mayonnaise
dressing.
Apples, celery and nuts with ma
yonnaise.
Combinations of different fruits
which have been canned whole.
Potatoes and onions with dress
ing.
Salmon, onion and mayonnaise.
Prunes stuffed with cream cheese.
Chestnuts, celery and pimentoes
with mayonnaise.
Every housekeeper will have many
more combinations which she has
successfully tried out Keep a list
of them and be sure that they are
all wartime salads.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
STUDY CONDITIONS BEFORE
LEAVING HOME.
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

So many girls come to Washing
ton with such a fine, high-hearted
purpose. to do war work that when
things turn out differently from
what they expected "back home"
it is little short of tragedy.
Every prospective war worker
should be presented with an illum-
mated text that reads: Don't put
all your eggs in one basket-even
If 1t is patriotic basket" There
are so many more sides. to a war
job than the job itself, and these
are the things that wear down the
fine spirit already mentioned
In the first place, there is the
enormous cost of everything, for de-
spite the excellent work done by the
Food and various other commits
sions, prices continue to trill and
also thrill, around high C. The
thousand or twelve hundred dol
lars that looked so big where there
was no surplus population to care
for melts like cake of ice in Au-
gust.
Then there is the landlady, who
is only human, and can see no
merit in sleeping on the couch in
the parlor if it is not going to
bring her in something extra. And
there is the loneliness and the sense
of being lost among all these hust-
ling, bustling people unless one
comes armed with some sort of cre-
dentials.
Forget your macintosh, forget
your overshoes, your diary, your
best hat, your party slippers, but
don't forget your letters of intro
duction. They need not necessarily
be the sort of letters that insure
an invitation to dinner OF other So
cial favors; but at least have some
thing in your possession that will
insure yop the opportunity of talk
ing things over in case or an
emergency.
Know where you are going to
stop before you leave home and lose
no time in joining a church or war
workers club that will put you in
touch with young women doing the
same work as yourself. The fol-
lowing letter from a young girl war
worker is a fair sample of some of
the things they have to contend
with

DO you treat them like human
being when you take them into your
homes? Remember, in many in
stances, they have left comfortable
homes and an easy life to come
here at the Governments urgent
call for war workers.

name profession, and his conduct

different treatment. But there was
