A Slice OF Bread

A single slice of bread seems an
unimportant thing. In many
households one or more slices of
bread daily are thrown away and
not used for human food. Some
times stale quarter, or half, loaves
are thrown out.
Yet one good-sized slice of bread
such as a child likes to cut
weighs an ounce. 1t contains al
most three-fourths of an ounce of
flour.
If every one of the country's TO-
100000 homes wastes on the aver
age only one such slice of bread
day, the country is throwing away
daily over 100000 ounces of
flour-over $4,000 pounds, or
enough flour for over a million
one-pound loaves a day. For full
year at this rate there would be a
waste of over 319,O00,OO0 pounds
of flour 100000 barrels s.
enough -four to make 65,O00,0OO
loaves.
AS it takes four and one-half
bushels of wheat to make a barrel
of ordinary -four, this waste would
represent the flour from over T.
100000 bushels of wheat.
Fourteen and nineteenth bushels
of wheat on the average are raised
per acre. 1t would take the fruit
of some 100000 acres just to pro-
vide a single slice of bread to be
wasted daily in every home.
To produce this much flour calls
for an army Of farmers, railway
men, flour-mill people. To get the
-four to the consumer calls for
many freight cars and the use of
many tons of COAL
But some one says, full slice
of bread is not wasted in every
home. Very well-make it daily
slice for every A or every 10 or
every 80 homes-make it weekly
or monthly slice in every home
or make the wasted slice thinner.
The waste of flour involved is still
appalling-altogether too great to
be tolerated when wheat is scarce.
Any waste of bread is inexcus-
able when there are so many ways
of using stale bread to cook delic-
ious dishes.
The United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
or your State Extension agent will
tell you how to use stale bread in
many ways.

KERENsKY TO FORM CABINET
To Put Army and Navy in Fighting
Condition.

Petrograd, Oct. 2.-The immediate
formation of a new coalition cabinet is
reported to be the decision of Premier
Kerensky. This is considered a direct
challenge to the democratic congress-,
which is expected to demand the right
to name the government.
The premier has agreed to a pro-
gram approved by the business, bank
ing and manufacturing interests.
The principle points are the imme-
date adoption of measures to put the
army and navy in fighting condition,
the merciless suppression of anarchy,
absolute independence of cabinet min
listers from parties and the taking of
measures to guarantee the selection Of
the members of the constituent assem-
bly, which is to decide on Russia's fu-
ture form of government in such a way
that the assembly will express the free
will of the Russian people.

Gore and La Toilette Wanted
Opposition to Revenue Bill.

wide opposition to the wal revenue bill
as passed by the senate.
They sought to utilize the services
Of certain county officials in this
propaganda work.
But instead of helping to spread dis
sention over the merits of a war
measure many of these officials at
once notified their senators and rep
resentatiyes of the activities of Gore
and La Toilette.
A multigraphed letter dated Sep
TENDER l, and bearing the stamped
signature of these two senators was
mailed at the p%osto(ice here at $50

McAdoo Opens Campaign.
McADOO WARNS PACIFISTS
Says Their Talk Means Death of More
Americans,

Cleveland, Oct. 2.-Assailing bitter
ly those "well meaning but misguid-
ed people who talk inopportunely Of
peace" Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo launched the campaign for. Amer
ica's second great Liberty Loan.
Speaking to a great crowd in Cleve-
lands public square, the secretary
said:
America intends that this fight
shall be won and won quickly. Amer
lea intends that those we'll meaning
but misguided people who talk mop
%portunely of peace-when there can be
no peace until the cancer which has
rotted civilization in Europe is extin-
guished and destroyed forever-shall
be silenced.
Il want to say here and now and
with due deliberation, that every paci-
fist speech in this country made at
this inopportune and improper time is,
in effect, traitorous. More than that,
it means the needless sacrifice of many
more American soldiers upon the bat
tlefields and the expenditure of much
more American treasure. Every such
speech is IN encouragement to the
kaiser to fight harder and longer, and
that means E.ore American boys USE
lessly killed. The quicker we realize
that the better we shall understand
what has got to be done in this war"

Then with dramatic earnestness he
%expounded the "han1s off, policy of
his government.
While he boldly warned the world
against any attempt to invade the

Viscount Ishii promised with equal
earnestness that the door to legiti-

was cheered by the 1000 public men,
bankers, merchants and captains of
Industry who heard him.
"The door is always open. It al

AS Colonel Roosevelt passed through

heartily. I only wish I were going
with you. You know my four boys
are in the service"
