MORE CORN MEAL IN DIET.
Is Recommended BY Department of Agri.
culture

One way to reduce the cost of food fol-
the family, say the specialists of the Z
| ,. department of agriculture is to use
more corn meal, where this is low in
price as compared with other cereals
| Corn meal at present prices. when bought
at retail stores, costs about half as much
per pound as wheat flour, one third as
much as rolled oats, one-fourth as much
as rolled wheat, and about half as much
as broken rice. That is, it costs much
less per pound than any OF the other
popular cereal foods, yet even the bolted
corn meal usually sold, from which the
germ of the grain has been removed to
make meal keep longer, has food value
which compares favorably with that of
wheat flour. 1t does not supply quite so
much protein or mineral matter for
building the tissues of the body, but, on
the other hand, it gives more fat and
starch, pound for pound, and its value
as fuel for the body is full as high
The old fashioned unbolted corn meal
made from the whole grain, which can
often be obtained by the farmer who
will take his grain TO mill, and can often
be purchased in shops and markets, con
sains more OF the tissue building mate
rial and has what many consider even a
better flavor then the bolted meal, and
is much liked for making some forms
OF corn meal.
ANY family, in town or country, can
have the best of corn meal by grinding
it at home in a hand grist mill The city
man can buy by the bushel at grain
store He can grind ii coarse or fine, to
suit the taste OF the family, and in
quantities to last a day or week, or
longer. Most people will agree that this
meal containing the germ is very paata

"The public seldom takes to song

Late Saturday Chief Inspector OF the

were the crews OF three other interned
German ships in the Havana harbor. All
were sent to Vabanas fortress.
The other ships were found to have
