EAT CORN, EXPERTS URGE.
Department Suggests Ways to Sub
stitute It for Wheat.

Wheatless breakfasts. wheatless lunches
and wheatless dinners are urged by the
Department Of Agriculture. which recon-
mends the use of cornmeal as substi-
tute for wheat flour. The department has
issued farmers bulletin entitled Corn
meal as Food and Ways of Using IT,
which will be sent to all who apply for it..
This bulletin shows that cornmeal
dishes can be made to take the place Of
those made Of wheat, and supplies more
than fifty tested recipes for its use for
breakfast, luncheon and dinner.
Corn, a great natural breadstuff Of this
country, the departments specialists
point out, has not been used for human
food nearly as much as its valuable nu-
trftive qualities warrant. This is due
largely to the fact that many persons
with wheat-using habit never have
taken the pains to learn to use corn.
There, is no important dietetic difference
between corn and wheat as sources of
body fuel. Bread is convenient as a
source of starch and protein, but in the
ordinary mixed diet it makes little diff
ference whether one gets the required
cereal ration in the form of raised or light
bread, mixed bread or biscuits, or as
mush, hominy grits or desserts

Action Officially Announced.

The official statement of the meeting,
given out by President Griffin, follows:
"At special meeting of the board of
directors. held this morning, it was de-
cided to discontinue all trading in May
corn and May oats. 1t was further de-
cided that for two days no purchases
of wheat whatever will be permitted,
except to liquidate existing contracts.
The latter action automatically debars
any individual. firm corporation or
government from bidding up the price
OF wheat. The directors further re-
stricted the operation in wheat by con-
filming those dealers desiring to close
existing contracts to maximum price,
which is based on Saturdays close.
The action of the board has been
taken after consultation with the ac-
credited representatives of the allied
governments. Likewise, every step fol-
lowed by US has been in cooperation
with this government"

contracts for September shall be en-
tered into at q price In excess Of $2.45

BE it resolved. That any member
trading In violation Of the foregoing
shall be deemed to have committed a
grave offense against the name of the

There is plenty Of grain in the coun-
try to carry us through" said Mr.. Crit
fen. ''If it were not for this hysteria
this wild frenzy that has seized America.
the allied governments - the whole
world-there'd be no such prices paid
for wheat. There Is plenty of wheat II
it could be distributed with calm, clear
thought and without excitement. There
is too much wild advice by amateurs
who know nothing about grain or pro-
ducction."
