WIZ Not Be Pioneer Where Unfamiliar Foods Are Concerned?

minds to the consideration Of new foods, in

Il is no such hardship to substitute corn
bread for wheat bread; in the South they would
regard the wheat bread as most unsatisfac-
tory makeshift in the place Of their beloved
spoon bread and pones.
It is no confession Of poverty TO eat rice,
which is not only nutritious enough TO be the
staple food in countries that cover about half
the earth, but is the basis Of many tempting
delicaces.
It is no real deprivation to cut down on the
meat supply. You will feel far more fit If you
get the greater part of your protein from other
sources.
And. says Uncle Sam emphatically, there is
no excuse for any one to plead ignorance;

TIME foundation stone Of food economy IS
the willingness to try new things. Inc
Il tenacity with which the mind can cling
10 the barriers Of custom was illustrated as
amply during the recent food riots in New YORK
as it ever was in famine-stricken Hindu VII
lage-the only difference being that the New
York East Siders absolutely refused to touch
rice. and the Hindus starved in droves sooner
than eat Anything else
This insisterce upon trotting along 1000
rut is never-ending encouragement 70 the
food speculator. If the crops are short or the
speculator has had good luck in cornerlng
big supply. the price of almost any staple may
be run to prohibitive figure, when at any mo-
rnent the ultimate consumer could break the
deadlock by refusing to buy that particular
commodity and turning to something else that
is equally nourishing and, TO the accustomed
palate. quite as appetizing.
Uncle Sam knows this down to the depths OF
his wise and kindly old heart, which is big
enough and patient enough to educate every
foolish child in his big family.
Just now he is hammering at this question
