Message From Houdini
MRS. HARRY HOUDINI is no

MRS. HARRY HOUDINI is not
I'VE only convinced, but happy. So,
too, is every professional spiritual
list.
Thanks to Arthur Ford, as con.
trolled by FLETCHER" not to men

fort, the nine-word code which, Mrs.
Houdini and her husband agreed
upon before the latter's death mas
been deciphered.
Whether this was accomplished
by occult power, human ingenuity,
or some unconscious revelation on
the part of Mrs Houdini herself. it
seems likely to become an inpor-
tant factor in the promotion and
exploitation of a cult which Houdini
exposed and combatted.
Much as Mrs. Houdini desired to
communicate with her dead hus-
band, she was not more anxious to
Go so than were thousands of spirit
ualists.
Unable to convince or convert the
living Houdini. they have been
studying, working and cohtriving to
make use of the dead Houdini, to
destroy the effect of his exposures
and limitations, to turn his own guns
against him and change the
triumph he had practically won into
defeat.
Under such circumstances, is. it
impossible to suppose that a nine
word code, even though known only
to three people, and though Of
peculiarly clever design. could have
been deciphered without super
natural aid?

Editor Times-The American
War Mothers appreciate your effort
to have the Senate ratify the treaty
outlawing war. The first service star
hung in the heavens marked the
place where the Prince Of Peace
was born.
For nearly 1000 years We have
celebrated His birthday with I'M
bounded joy. When we hung our
service star in the window to mark
the place from which a son had
gone to fight in the last war, we
never dreamed it would be ten years
before this decisive step would be
taken by the powers that be.
The previous blood Of thousands
of our sons have blazed the trail
to a higher civilization, when there
will be no more-war. We have faith
that those who hold the fate Of the
nations in their hands will not de-
sert the cause and the spirit of
Christmas will continue until war
has been banisIed from the face OF
the earth. Peace is gift, and has
been since the beginning of time.
Loyalty Yours,
MRS. ALICE M. FRENCH.

THE disease commonly called
4 shingles is known scientifically
as herpes zoster.
A similar variety of this disease
is herpes simplex, also called cold
sores.
The type which occurs about the
body following the root Of a nerve
is a more serious condition than
the cold sores.
In discussion of this subject in
Hygeia, DR.. Clark w. Finnerud
quotes the old superstition that if
shingles meet the patient will die,
and points out this is probably
perfectly safe aphorism because the
nature of the disease is such that
shingles probably never has encir-
cled the body in any human being.

Benton County Women
To Study Job Analysis

In the Home Economics clubs of
Benton county this year, the wo-
men are going to study different
household processes with the idea
of analyzing them and finding the
best possible course of doing them,
according to Miss Edna M. West,
county extension agent. They are
to work out such processes as a
better and easier way to do dishes,
the correct way to hang out clothes
of ironing shirt in three or four
minutes, washing windows, clean
ing room, making a bed, cooking
with the fewest amount of uten-
sils. The principle object of these
management studies is to get the
most work done for the minimum
amount of time and energy.
1T is true that every women
does dishes and yet each house
wife has found a different way to
do them, way that she thinks
best. In studying the processes we
find that many extra motions may
be eliminated, and much time saw
ed by standardizing the work. The
best method of doing dishes is that
which saves the most time and en-
ergy. Also the most hot water
which is a factor in many farm
houses.

Breakfast Briefs

The items, which appeared
in breakfast Briefs" last week
are being reprinted this week
in their intended order.
A printer in the back shop
thought that the items would
look nice "sized," arranged in
order according to length.
They do, but unfortunately
they were not written to be
"sized'' and hence do not make
sense.
Crossword puzzle fans prob
ably were able to straighten out
the mixture, but for the benefit
of those not so inclined, they
are being reprinted this week.
Just because this column is en-
titled breakfast Briefs" does not
mean that breakfast is the only
topic to be discussed.
The title is really just another
name for Household Hints" or
Helps for the Housewife
However, we prefer to be origin
al if possible.
And anyway, it is at breakfast
time that the housewife plans her
work for the day.
Suggestions to improve working
conditions or to aid in planning
the days menu might well be en-
bodied in such a column.
A large head of cabbage is an
economy if all of it is used in a
variety of ways.
The tender inner portion should
be used for salad.
Leave the larger, coarser leaves
intact on the core to keep them
fresh and use them for dreaming,
boiling or to flavor soup.
Less sugar is required and lit
tie better flavor results if sugar
is added to fruit sauces after cook
ing.

Cabbage Salads

Cabbage is the standby of
the winter salad. 1t supplies
the users with a fresh, raw veg
etable and lends itself to var
iety of salads.
Shredded cabbage and equal
parts of grated carrots may he
well combined with salad dress
ing shortly before serving. Add
ground peanuts if desired and
serve on lettuce.
Shredded cabbage, diced cell
cry and diced apples in equal
parts with IL part of chopped
or grated pineapple and served
with a dressing to which cream
has been added also proves re-
freshing with a heavy dinner.
Ring salad is perhaps little
different and adds the red color
which makes the table festive
for the February holidays.
Shred the cabbage fine and
mix it with a dressing made of
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. salt
/ tsp sugar
/ tbsp. lemon juice
8 tbsp. vinegar
Pinch cayenne pepper and a
dash of paprika.
Beat all the ingredients to-
gether and before serving COM

arate the beets into rings. Place
the rings over the top of the

Vows Vows to Eliminate Waste Motion
" n Washing Dishes Suggested

for one process, just the plates are
washed first then the other dishes.
After the home maker washes the
cups which do not need soaking
and are easily washed, they are
dipped to the left in the pan OF
hot water, and then placed to drain
in the dish drainer. If there is no
room on the left drain board for
the dish drainer, it is placed on a
table further to the left with
towel underneath to absorb the
drain water. Next the saucers are
washed which likewise do not need
much soaking. They are dipped IN
the pan of hot water to the left
and placed in their place in the
drainer. By this time the salad
plates and dinner plates are easy
to wash. This water is then emp
tied down the drain and the wa
ter which the dishes were dipped
in is placed in this pan with new
clean water put in the dipping pan.
Then the glasses and silverware
are washed. These are placed on a
towel to the left to drain and be
wiped Immediately so they will
not streak. By the time these
dishes are wiped and put away,
the drainer full of dishes is dry
and these dishes can be placed
away. While the homemaker is
wiping the glasses and silverware,
the pots and pans can be soaking
in the clean dish water. This is
clean as only the glasses and sill
verware have been washed in it.
1t is just as necessary to have it
clean for the pots and pans as it
is for the other china. Then the
pots and pans are dipped and are
drained. 1t is necessary to wipe
them providing the dipping water
is not hot
Miss Gallup has spent much
time during the past summer try
ing to work out standard method
for doing dishes. The above method
saves the most time and the most
motions and the product is good.
Fewer dish towels are used, less
effort is used and less water. How
ever. we realize that each home
maker may wish to work out her
own process and standardize
them.
The average time in doing the
dishes for IL was cut down to one
half by using this method in COM
parison to the method that is US
ually used.

Recipe for French
Soupe Lentile Given

In this age when viands are
gathered from all corners of the
earth to grace the festive board,
one loses sight of the fact that our
thrifty ancestors cooked many of
their meals in one kettle or pot
and yet had meals which were well
balanced.
One way for the housewife to
keep down the grocery bill and yet
prepare appetizing and attractive
meals for her family is to follow
the examples of our forefathers,
with perhaps a few modern addi-
tions.
From Mrs. John B. Pennell, who
resided in France for several
years, comes a recipe for Soupe
Lentile. The French are noted for
their soups, which they have at
the beginning of all of their din
ners. This soup is heavy and sat-
isfying.
SOupe Lentile
Mrs. John B. Pennell
! 2 cups lentils
1-2 pound vermicelli
1 onion
/ pound of small sausages
Salt and pepper
Wash and soak the lentils over
night. Boil few minutes, drain
and add fresh boiling water to
cover. Chop onion fine and brown
in butter until onions are a golden
brown. Add this to the lentils and
simmer slowly. Fifteen minutes
before serving, drain carefully,
saving the liquid that the lentils
were boiled in. To this add the
vermicelli and seasoning. To make
the entire to follow this soup, fry
the small sausages. Remove from
skillet and pour off most of the
fat. Put the lentils in the remain
ing fat and season. Put in a SER
wing dish and cover with the sau-
sages and garnish with parsley.
The French cook allows a great
deal of time to her cooking and it
is mostly done on a slow fire.
Many are the interesting con-
coctions, which may be served in
place of meat. A little time, a little
thought, a little ingenuity and
presto, delicious dish is prepar-
ed for the piece de resistance of
the meal.
Pimento Cheese Loaf
Mrs. George H. Rue
2 cups cooked lima beans
1-2 pound cream cheese
l small can pimentoes
1 large onion
2 eggs (well-beaten)
Ia cup catsup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
Stale bread crumbs to make a
stiff mixture
Put beans, cheese, pimentoes and
onion through a food chopper. Add
bread crumbs and seasonings and
bind with beaten eggs. Bake in a
loaf or in patties and serve with
tomato sauce or cream gravy.
Ham is comparatively expen-
sive form of meat, yet delicious in
flavor. A recipe to make a small
amount of ham go long ways
has been suggested by Mrs. Her.
man Schmidt.
Ham Casserole

or 6 medium size potatoes
Sd pound ham, cubed
Little salt and pepper

with flour and a little salt and
pepper. Add more layers of pota-
toes on top. Add milk for liquid,
small pieces of butter, and a few
bread crumbs on top. Bake until
potatoes are done. A few chopped
onions may be added.
