Utilize Cornmeal and
Save Wheat Flour

Americans are addicted to the use of
the light, fluffy loaf made of high
grade patent white -four. For economic
and patriotic reasons a taste for the
coarser, darker but no less wholesome
breads should be acquired. With
housekeepers all over the country saw
ing few cupfuls of flour, the nation
will be able to conserve supply of
wheat that will help win the war.

by using three cupfuls cornmeal, two
cupfuls whole wheat or white -four.
two cupfuls milk, two cupfuls water.
two tablespoonfuls molasses, two
tablespoonfuls shortening, one table
spoonful salt and one yeast cake.
Heat the milk and water TO boiling.
Add to it slowly one cupful cornmeal
and stir until it thickens. Put these in
gradients over a pan of hot water or
in double boiler and cook for half an
hour. Remove, adding molasses, short
ening and salt. When lukewarm, add
yeast cake, which has been dissolved in
One-fourth cupful of water. Add one
cupful of cornmeal and one cupful of
whole wheat flour. Beat with wooden
spoon until smooth. Put in a covered
bowl and let rise till double it's bulk.

individuality,

No process is so fatal as that which
would cast all men in one mold. Every
human being is intended to have a
character Of his own, to be what no
other Is, to do what no other can do.
Our common nature is to be unfolded
in unbounded diversities. 1t is to wear
1nnumerable forms Of beauty and glo-
ry. Every human being has a work
to carry on within, duties to perform
abroad, influences to exert, which are
peculiarly his and which no conscience
but his own can teach.
