Coming Into Its Own.
Greenville News. I

GTeenVllle news.
Eat cornbread. Get to know the
cornbread Of the South. Have real
Southerner serve cornbread to you
once and the wheaton loaf no longer
will have its present appeal"
The Ohio State Journal thus advises
its readers, putting them wise," to a
real foe OF the high cost of living.
The corn pone is coming into its own
at last in the North-perhaps this,
after all, may be corn-fed nation
This is as it should be, for the Unit
ed States this year raised four and
a half times more corn than wheat
There is little demand for corn for
export, although millions of bushels
Of wheat freight the ocean liners
Europe-b bound. Wheat prices will
roar, it is freely predicted, for nev-
er before has the reserve stock been
so low. The bins will be scraped
clean before the next harvest. It is
in truth golden grain" It is likely
that the price Of bread may go so
high that the poor can not buy it at
all.
Based on food value, corn in the
form of meal or hominey is the cheap
est foodstuff obtainable today. The
+, Ohio State Journal observes that
! three cents worth of cornnleal con-
tains as much nourishment as 81
cents worth of eggs at so cents a
dozen, or Sc cents worth of round
steak for which you pay 80 cents
pound The same amount of corn
! meal is equal in food value to six
pounds of potatoes, a pound of cheese,
or six pounds of bananas, II pounds
of oranges, or IA pounds of cabbage.
Corn costs but one-tenth as much as
some of our breakfast foods. Corn
and hominy contain twice as much
fat and other food value as any other
cereal, except oats.
OF course, unless the rest of the
country learns how to make corn
bread after the Southern styles, it will
not be so appetizing. 1t is like rab
bit in that respect-the cooking there
of counts Is per cent. No chef can
evolve such a corn pone as the dusky
Southern cook can fashion with ease
and serve to suit the kings taste. In
cidentally, the Southern people them
selves do not eat enough cornbread
and would find it more economical if
they should adopt the advice of the
Ohio newspaper.

Seals Will Sare Home,

AS an officer of the Anti-Tubercu-
losis association was going down the
street today he was met by a little
youngster, ten years old, who appeal
ed to him for some bread and coal
for his mother. Investigation brough:
to light the fact that widow is living
alone with three children in one OF
the city's poorer quarters, every mem
Der of the family having tuberculosis.
1t appears that three years ago the
father contracted the disease and was
not given proper care. He soon died,
but not before he had infected his
wife and children with the dread all
ment. Now the family is in a pitiable
condition. There is still time, per-
haps, to save them from their fathers
fate, and immediate steps will be tax
en- by the Anti-Tuberculosis commit
tee, which directs the expenditure Of
the Red Cross Seals fund, to aid
them.
