He came yesterday from La Panne. The French have lew big guns on the dunes and there they were hit ana many wounaea, The boy is so fine and has never made a single remark about his leg since he knew it was gone. He asked ne last night if it was really gone and I could have cried. 1 hey are so won tfcrful that it makes it seem all the . ore horrible. They lie all might in terrible pain and never complain. These brave boys are forced to buy vtrything, even their cigarets, tor they are not showered with gifts as are the American men at iNeuniy. Fresh Doughnuts. Just like the huts "over there," even ta nrotectinsr sand bans, will be the tittle building to be erected on the court house lawn by the woman's committee for the Salvation Army war fund drive. A big kettle of boil ing, bubbling lard will be provided, over which Omaha's best doughnut manufacturers ' will work in plsta sight of the public. Mrs. A.

Mrs. Peterson recently re s turned from a meeting of state ehair tnen and the national committee at Washington. D. C, and from a con ference with Mrs. George W. Fuller, . cnairman tentn tedcral district No More Corsets. ' Woe is woman! If you have cor sets to get, prepare to get them now or forever go without them, at least until the war is over. There Js such a shortage of steel that corset houses cannot get the stays, and a man-made government declares corsets non-es- seatial. So the corset talesmen have been taken off 4he road and the stores wilt be unable to get corsets to re plenish their stocks. Thus is woman kind forced to make a real sacrifice to help win the war. Omaha chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will give the last of a series of luncheon, bridge and knitting parties Wednesday at the Blacksrone.

Instruction classes will be held in four new dis tricts, Bancroft, Windsor, South Lin coln and Saratoga. All women are welcome to these meetings ' even though they reside outside the district. A series of 12 lessons on foods and food values constitute the course of instruction. One lesson is given each week and is illustrated br choice, tested recipes. Women should be provided with note books and pencils. Other forms of conservation will claim attention as well conservation of clothing, of health and eneri gether with a study of the budget. The Council will co-operate where ever possible with other organiza tions; the conservation of child life and the Americanization movement are of paramount importance and con cern every thoughtful woman. While the forms of war work are almost legion, there are none that can be better carried on in the home than conservation. Home makers who are not free to do public work can to their bit in this way. People have a right to question one's patriotism if one insists on the usual allowance of sugar, and spurns war bread. Miss Nellie Farnsworth, federal food agent, will give a brief summary of the conservation work that is be ing carried on in North Dakota and St Paul and .Minneapolis at the council meeting. Her services sre available to all or ganizations in the city, which desire to learn more about food conservation or any phase of home economics, she may be found at the Union Pacific building, Room 219 or reached by telephone, Tyler 1322.
