CORN MEAL IS ONE ARTICLE
 TO CUT COSTS
High Cost of Living Can Be Trimmed Say Experts by Using Corn Meal
 for Our Bread.
WILL CUT DOWN BILLS

WASHINGTON, May IA. (By ail)-High cost of living experts in the Department of Agriculture, after an exhaustive inquiry, appear to be convinced that the American housewife can, to some extent, com
 bat the staggering totals of her groc- cry bills by adopting as one of her economies the use of corn meal in the making of Tight bread" In the maker must use corn meal with combination of wheat flour
 Experiments show that corn meal 1 may be used exclusively, but this is not highly recommended. It may, however, be used to any proportion up to 25 per cent of the total flour required and still produce an attrac- tive loaf of bread.
 The volume of the loaf made part ly from corn meal will be smaller and it's texture somewhat poorer than if made with all wheat flour, but, nevertheless, the loaf will be light and spongy, with a rich brown crust, and those who have sampled such bread agree it is very palatable and wholesome.
 Corn Meal Bread
 Experts in their experiments have turned out a very good specimen of the corn meal light bread. Two methods of making wheat and corn bread were formulated and tested by Il cicfa nt hnn ict the Bureau of Chemistry In one method the raw meal is employed directly in preparing the dough, and no extra time or labor is required in making the bread in this manner
 The second method follows the rule of partially cooking the meal before introducing it into dough. This meth tional time and labor, but it is said to make a better loaf in quality and be worth the extra effort.
 The wheat shortage would be par tially made up if American house. keepers generally place the corn meal and flour loaf upon their tables. Field experts of the department of Agriculture are urging this and oth- CT economies in the farming sections and are distributing tons of educa- tiOnal pamphlets containing instruc tions on how to save and ecOnomize. Secretary Houston is optimistic that his agents will be successful in cut ting down to large extent the vast waste of foodstuffs.
 Right at Hearthstone
 Department reports from all sec tions this week indicated that Ameri- cans everywhere have caught the spirit of the governments appeal for conservation and greater production. Not only have the farmers sought to extend their fields of labor but residents of urban communities in every part of the nation are convert Ing vacant tracts into areas for the raising of vegetables and fruits for immediate home needs and for can ming purposes.
 Secretary Houston is convinced that the food problem strikes right at the | hearthstone of every American citi- zen and be believes it to be the duty | of all Americans at this time to roll up their sleeves promptly and tackle the task of supplying their tables with products from their own garden. wherever possible.
 In the aggregate, hundreds of mil lions of dollars will thereby be saved to the ultimate consumers and the nations food reserve be strength nnod in nrnn0rfiAn
