send YOU herewith the following
notes compiled by myself and my

with regard TO wheat.

requirement assuming a carry-over
OF same volume in 1913 as in 1910
amounts 20 about 500, 900. 900 bush
els. thus leaving a theoretical ex-
port balance Of $4,000, 900. The con-
servatiOn measures are already hav-
ing marked effect and II is not too
much to hope that the national saw

balance increased TO, say $4,000

the rampant speculation. extortion-
ate profits and the prospect OF even
narrower supplies than 1915 harvest
and carry-over. must cause the
deepest anxiety. No better proof OF
the hardship worked upon our peo-
pie during the past year needs be
adduced than the recitation of the
fact that the producer received an

Food Lore

The wide-awake woman today talks
about food principals and nutritive
value as glibly and understandingly
as she talked of patterns and mate
rails n year ago
Since the United States government
has pointed out to the housewife that
the most important service she can
render the nation is In the proper
buying and conservative saving of
foods. Madam Housewife with char
acterlstic American enthusiasm has
gone right after the information she
reeds 10 help her most.
Practically every woman has heard
little about vitamines. Just enough
to make her fear TO use oleomarga
rine. or evaporated milk in the guam
titles she would If she knew the whole
truth.
Scientific tests have shown that the
life giving elements known as vItam-
ines are IN all fruits. vegetables and
cereals. They are in oleomargarine
in the same or greater quantities tfat
they are I'm high grade creamery but
ter or in pasteurized milk. The heat
ing of milk to the point of pasteurl-
zation. however. kills these elements,
therefore, the purest milk and high
grade creamery butter made of pas
tourized milk contains no Vitamines.
Only high grade butter or pasteurized
milk is used In the making Of oleo-
margarine. Latest tests show olco oil
to contain vitamines.
Evaporated milk is made of highest
grade milk and>is heated for evapora-
ton to a point beyond which vitam-
ines cannot exist.
We are not at all dependent upon
dairy products for these necessary ele-
ments. All the vitamines necessary
for the proper growth Of the average,
normal child will be supplied by the
ordinary mixed diet containing vege-
tables, fruits. fruit juices and cereals

According to the official bulletin, if

would be more than sufficient to meet
