Discovering Corn Meal.

The war in Europe is likely to
teach the Europeans the value of
corn meal as human food. The
demand for it has already boost
ed the price of corn in the Ameri-
can markets, and it is likely to
boost it still higher. This is un-
fortunate for the domestic con-
sumers of corn bread and boiled
mush, but there will be compen-
sations. After the war is over
the Europeans having eaten corn
will continue to eat it, and the
fields of waving corn on the
American farms will be trans
formed into gold mines. The
yellow kernels will CLINT with the
real luster of wealth. But even
though corn meal is dearer than
it was a few weeks ago, it is
still cheaper than wheat flour.
Necessity may teach some Ameri-
cans that they can reduce the
cost of living. even now, by u.s.
ing more corn meal. And that
will be another form in which
the compensation will manifest
itself.
