q pated by the Department of Ag-
riculture, which in many of its bureaus
has been experimenting with the coun-
try's resources in the way of foodstuffs
which may serve as substitutes for the
conservative staples in case Of special
stress.
In at least two of the department bu-
reaus somewhat intensive Investigations
are being conducted along the line Of
substitutes for the two chief sustainers
of life, bread and meat.
In the laboratory of plant chemistry,
Dr. j. A. LIE Clerc has demonstrated by
practical experimentation that very
satisfactory bread may be made by
using IS per cent substitute of some
other material than wheat along with
rs per cent OF wheat -four. These re-
suits Will shortly be issued to the pub
lie in the form of "a new Department of
Agriculture bulletin. One of the most
cheering facts in connection with these
experiments is that in many cases the
substitutes benefit the user as well as
give him some new varieties of bread
stuffs.

FOR years the Japanese have made
a vegetable milk wrom soy beans. and
the time may come when 1t viii nnd
it's use as our substitute for this daily
necessity. Soy bean milk is made by
soaking. crushing and boiling the
beans, and one gets a iquld NOT ohiy
in appearance but in analysis like cows
milk.
I'm Japan and China this milk is
used in the making of vegetable
cheeses of various kinds. These are
largely used fresh, but they are also
cured and dried, and to my taste are as
good as Camembert. II you Will try

the peculiarly fine flavor. and expect to
be able to get good results.
Now here is condensed soy bean
milk and Mr. Morse produced glass

This tastes like and serves the pur-
pose of the ordinary condensed milk.
and a firm in New York state Is erect
ing establishment for the produc-
ton of this milk for its use in confec-
tions and chocolate.
Now what does this resemble?" and
Mr. Morse held up small bottle con-
tanning a little dark brown liquid
worcester sauce. This is soy sauce
Evening star., 1917-03-04

and as it is imported into this country
from Japan in large quantities to form
the base of much of our Worcester
sauce, there is no reason why we
should not ourselves make it, and this
will be taken up later.
Among our table delicacies are
roasted almonds. Now we can get an
pensive nut in the roasted soy bean.
In Japan and China these roasted
beans are sold throughout the streets
like our peanuts. To prepare them
they are first soaked. then boiled and
then roasted. and they are not at all
unlike our friend, the peanut.
Still another use for the soy bean is
as a substitute for coffee. Parched and
ground and prepared like coffee ii is quite
as good a substitute as any OF the cereal
beverages on the market.
''As an instance of how widely the soy
bean is being taken up as good substi-
tute for the higher priced commodities. the
chef of one Of the big hotels in WASH
ineton recently came to consult us about
the purchase of a large quantity with a
view to using them on his menu in the
place Of the baked navy bean, and also
70 use as soup stock as substitute for
meat The domestic science schools are
also STUDYING the use of the soy bean
as a new and valuable food product
which may be used as substitute for
higher priced materials.
North Carolina is the big seed-pro-
ducing section of the soy bean, but 1t
may be grown in any part of the country,
except in the arid western lands. where
rabbits destroy the crop. To the exclu-
sion of everything else they will devour
the soy bean literally root and branch.

division OF forage crop investigations
I'VE are trying to get people interested
in the soy bean as food. and it should
prove quite a considerable asset as
substitute for various higher priced
products. l believe that the time is
coming when the people will be obliged
to get their protein from the legumes.
"I have made a number of personal
experiments in the use of the soy bean
as a human food with most gratifying
results, and 1 am glad to suggest a
number of its uses. Being rich in fat
and high in protein it forms perhaps
the most valuable legume substitute
for meat which we have. Soaked over
night and boiled for two hours 1t

One of the floats represented the Con-

ball was a rather brilliant affair con-
sidering the stress of the times and the
pitch of public sentiment. Mrs. Lin

life's ambition, was radiant in white

"Of course, you know that the JAP

bean as their main protein-s supplying

caller returned to his office, they are

being discarded in Germany, France

beings all the possible benefit of the

making the standard bread or that

"In Austria only 20 per cent Of the

naming proportion being mixture of
