ANOTHER HINT ON ECONOMY
DR.. Bailey of State University Advises
kansans to Make tt cir Own
Breakfast Foods.

Isn't sixty cents pound rather high
to pay for breakfast feed that is
made entirely from wheat? That
makes the wheat retail for $36
bushel in the form of breakfast food
and isn't $36 bushel rather high for
wheat even in war times? DR.. e. H.
| S. Bailey, head of the chemistry de-
partment in the University of Kansas
and specialist in foods, asks these
questions, Doctor Bailey says that is
just what it costs to eat a certain kind
of popular breakfast food Another
wheat breakfast food that .retails for
sixteen cents a pound makes the con-
sumer pay $500 a bushel for wheat
and still another that retails for twen-
ty-four cents a package charges the
housewife who buys it $14,40 bushel
for wheat. No. 2 hard wheat is sell
ing at around SO bushel now. Other
breakfast foods make the consumer
pay $3.50 to $25 a bushel for wheat and
around 81 a bushel for corn. The
Kansas City market quotes corn at
Close 10 9l.lU DuSnel.
at is an uneventful day no new
breakfast food is put on the market"
Doctor Bailey said. "Most wonder
full are the virtues ascribed to them,
but isn't it common sense that pro-
ducts made from wheat, corn, or other
grain cannot contain any more brain
food 'anti-fat' or other nutrition than
is contained in the wheat, corn or
other grain? A few years ago the
housewife arose early to cook the fam
lily oatmeal or mush. Today she must
have these expensive hurry-up foods
in fancy packages While we are
studying economy would it not be
good plan to use little gas, oil or
stove wood in cooking breakfast food
than in paying such high prices for
them?
