EAT CEREALS TO
REDUCE FOOD COSTS
Plan Is Called the Most Practical Means
of Reducing Family's Table
Expenses.

The most practical means of reducing
tal,lc EXPENSES without decreasing the
wholesomcness and adequacy OF the diet
lies IA increased use OF cereal foods, espe-
cally boiled grains, mushes and breads
made of corn meal and cereals other than
wheat
Cereals contain most Of the important
food elements which the body needs and
yet are comparatively inexpensive. They
are primarily source of starch, needed
by the body to yield energy. They fur
nsh also considerable quantities OF pro
tein. one of the most important and
usually one OF the most expensive food
clements needed to build the body and
keep 1t in repair In addition. cereals
furnish mineral matter, fats, fibre aud,
especially ii part Of the bran is left in,
lttlc-known substances which regulate
body activities
Cereals. therefore. may be used as tho
relatively inexpensive basis for meals. In

meal, for example, may be satisfactorily
substituted for wheat when the latter i

$4,000 AIRPLANES
House Passes War Department Bill,
Carrying an Appropriation of
$3.50. 100000.

WASHINGTON, July l6.-The war de
partment bin appropriating 500 900, 900
for construction of $4,000 airplanes was
passed by the house late Saturday with
out a rolI-calI 1t was amended only in
minor details.
Amendments adopted included one by
Representative Lenroot Of Wisconsin
limiting the broad authorities granted the
executive for the present war emergency
and one by REPRESENTATIVE Fitzgerald of
New York providing that enlisted men
drafted for the aviation corps shall be
within the same ages q to 30 inclusive
as apply in the general conscription law
The bill. carrying the greatest aviation
appropriation ever proposed in congress
and passed in less than five hours, evoked
some criticism of legislative methods but
no attack on the general purpose. Chair
man Dent of the military committee, de-
claring debate might result IN informa-
ton leaking to Germany, clashed with
| Mr. Fitzgerald chairman OF the appropria

handling public funds in a slipshod and
/ illogical way. and ii the war emergency
during which the bill IS specially apph
cable, continues two years, the approprla
ton for such a period would violate tho
constitution.
Republican Leader Mann favored ac
ton without discussion, and other re
publicans criticized the council OF nationa
defense. the Senate and the navy depart
ment for published statements regarding
the aviation program and contracts to
submarines
