Dear Mlas Tlnrle: Will you please print In The Ore- gonian a recipe for ribbon caice or red. white and blue cake and oblige a constant reader of your department? DO NOT know any cake called "red. white and blue" cake, but I suspect it of sounding; more patriotic than It actually is, for we ought not to be eat ing any but the plainest of sugarless cakes (and very little of them), made with the maximum of barley, rye or corn and the very smallest minimum of wheat and shortening. For ribbon cake use the plainest of I ordinary white layer cake recipes. using one-fourth cup cornstarch with three-fourths cup flour in place of I every cup of flour, and divide into equal parts. Color one part with red fruit coloring. I suppose you could divide In three parts and color one part with blue fruit coloring if you like, but I cannot think that It would be very attractive in appearance. The different colored portions may be baked separately and put together with Jelly, or Jelly and nut filling, the top be ing either left plain or brushed with melted Jelly and sprinkled - with chopped nuts or cocoanut (for, of course, you must not use any frosting). or you may arrange the layers in or der in a loaf tin lined with greased paper, and bake all together in one loaf. Let me know If you need a plain layer cake recipe and I will give you one, though I feel tnat layer cakes are best omitted from our diet list at this time.

Will you kindly xive me a recipe for codfish balls mails with corn meal? Thanking you in ad Vance. MRS. W. H. E. I hope the following will suit you. Codfish balls or other combinations of salt fish and cereals or potatoes make very good breakfast dishes when eggs are scarce and is necessary, th all fried dishes Cornmeal Cod cold white, we one cup shredded tablespoon shortening. Pick over the fish and soak', if necessary, in cold water to remove the excess of salt. Mix with the other Ingredients ant drop by spoonfuls into deep fat hot enough to bread in 60 seconds. Drain well over the pan. to avoid wasting fat. then place on draining paper. At this time, when It Is of the ut most Importance to cut down any un necessary consumption of fat. It would be much better to drop the mixture by spoonfuls on a hot griddle and bake like tiny pancakes, or upon a well greased baking tin and bake In a very hot oven as "codfish puffs. 'W The cornmeal should beatiff and firm. One cup each mush and dry riced potatoes might be used if more convenient. For "regular" codfish balls, substi tute two cups dry riced potato for the cornmeal and bake as above rather than fry In the old way. " Very nice fish balls for breakfast may be made by the same method from kippered fish or cold cooked fresh fish. rather highly salted and combined with cooked mush or potatoes. 55 SUITS That Sold From $22.50 to $28.50 In fact, every suit in stock at the above prices the majority were formerly $27.50.

Maybe It would brown a half Inch cube of ba begt to make oniy a few and keep those religiously. For Instance, might determine to be a little more thoughtful of other people. We might try to say kind things or not to say anything where once upon a time we would have said sarcastic, mean things. It may be very clever to be "catty," but it Isn't satisfactory. It doesn't make us feel better, not really, truly better, does it? Then, too, we can make a resolution to like our work and do It well. If we are too Brood for our lob, why not make the Job better or get out and do better? There lsn t much need now-a-aays to Dreach against snobbishness. The com mon interests, the heartaches, the hard work the war has brought, have wiped out many of the imaginary caste lines It's a disgrace now to be idle. The girl who is lazy and the woman wio Is SDOlled and selfish and who doesn't accomplish something for the general good is so far out of style that we can't even see her these days. Maybe sne just Isn't. We all want tne year isis to oe Det ter than the last. But It won't be bet ter unless we do our part in making it so. Much of a person s Happiness oe pends upon himself. Remember that. Make others happy and you are sure to get some happiness. Umatilla to Spend Only $103,000. PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.)

I am hard-hearted because I didn't write her brother who Is In the Army that he had been 111. She wasn't seriously sick, and I didn't want to worry him. I took your advice and wrote all the cheerful things. She always wtitee him how lonely she Is and how poor the family Is. I am sure her letters must give him the blues. Will you tell people like her how to write to sol diers? Oblige. MRS. G. D. N. It seems to me everyone should have common sense enough to know what to write about, but" I know there are some stupid people still who love to describe their aches and pains and who "enjoy bad health" and who delight in recounting troubles. But, thank good ness, they are rapidly getting into the class with the silly women and the lazy, foolish girls who don't do any patriotic or any other kind of work. Write the soldiers all the bright, newsy things that happen. Tell who is mar ried and who's engaged and who visited home at Christmas and who is in col lege and what presents you have and how many hours you are putting Into Red Cross work and who won the latest football game. Write bright, cheerful letters, full of details, or brief, if you wish, but, above all, cheerful. 42v S "I S -OX Marinello Rose Leaf Jelly will keep them smooth, whits anri riellahrfullv scented.

No doubt you have often wondered how Hal and 1 could afford to be so much better dressed than our neighbors. It Isn't because Hal makes so much more sal ary than other men; No, not at all. It's juBt because we have learned to buy our clothes of "CHERRY'S." You see. Instead of having to save for weeks and weeks, and in the mean time go shabby, we buy our clothes at Cherry's, and are well dressed all the time, simply by paying a little each week or month, just as we desire to arrange it. Cherry's line of ladies' and men's clothing is, as you will see when you go up there, about the nicest in the city and special prices for the first of 1918. So don't fail to go and look them over. , They are centrally located at S89-91 Washington street, . Plttock block. Open Saturday evenings until 8 o'clock. Adv. b.
