TREASURE IN ROYAL VAULTS
Vast Accumulation Of Jewels, Arnsr.
Furniture and Works Of Art Stored
In BritIsl, Palaee.

Special precautions are taken 1t
Buckingham palace during renovations
for guarding the treasure vaults. These
are three in number, and their contents
are Of great value, comprising the
vast accumulation Of Jewels. armor,
statuary, pictures, furniture. etc, which
have come into the possession of the
royal family through various channels
during the last two centuries. and for
which no accommodation can be found
in the state apartments Of the royal
residences.
Two Of the vaults are of great size.
the largest measuring 300 feet by 26O
feet. These are used for the storage Of
furniture, pictures. etc. The third vault,
much smaller and steel lined through
out. Is the Jewel room. the contents Of
which may be termed priceless. OF
gold ornaments alone there are over
5000, weighing considerably over
ton in all, and many individual items
would fetch thousands Of pounds in the
open market.
Most Of these treasures came to
Queen Victoria as gifts from other
sovereigns. Every object in this vault
is catalogued, and the whole collection
Is checked once year under the su-
pervision Of the keeper Of the privy
purse.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
; War Bread Circular
Observation-Disclosures

Since shortage Of wheat made the
price Of -four soar, housewives Of the
country have been seeking a SUBSTITUTE
for white dour. The most practical
substitutes are whole wheat -four.
shorts, cottonseed meal and cornmeal
since they all make palatable bread
and may be obtained In most markets.
At present prices these materials may
be substituted for nour at . decided
saving In the cost Of bread.
The University Of Missouri College
Of Agriculture has recently issued Az
ncultural Extension Service Circular
IS which discusses q number Of subsd-
tutes for white dour and offers recipes
for making war breads. Some Of the
breads which may be made by subsu.
tuting different materials for all or q
part Of the -four are whole wheat
bread. shorts bread. cornmeal and
wheat bread. shorts cookies, cotton
seed meal gingerbread. corn dodgers
and Boston brown bread.
Whole wheat dour has been sug-
gested as substitute for white -four
because it offers opportunity for uuliz-
ing as human food parts Of the wheat
grain which were formerly used exclu-
sively for other purposes. Only about
q per cent Of the wheat grain is used
for white patent flour. The rest is
sold as bran or shorts for stock food
Whole wheat -four contains about S.
Per cent Of the wheat grain. Thi.
means that given supply Of wheat
made into whole wheat -four will feed
q lnrgtr number Of people than the
same amount Of wheat made into white
-four.
Whole wheat bread Is better food
than white bread because it contains
larger percentage Of the mineral mat.
ter and other valuable food cons,iru.
ents than the white bread. Both whole
wheat and graham -four have the
added advantage Of containing large
proportion Of the coarse fiber Of the
wheat.
Shorts has also been suggested as q
substitute for white -four. 1t may be
used in any proportion up to three
fourrhs shorts and onefour1h white
flour. 1t produces dark. somewhat
heavy texture bread which has pleas
ant nutry flavor. Shorts may be used
in combination with white -four in grid.
die cakes, mullins, bread and cake. and
In combination with cornmeal in Boz.
ton brown bread.
Persons who desire copies Of the cir
cular on war breads may obtain them
