children from to IA years of age
may buy tickets for $1.25. Later the
price increases to $500 and $1.5O. Sin

Noted Food Expert.
In furtherance of the desire of the
Redpath Bureau to serve the nation
at this time of crisis, DR.. George L. Nc
Mutt has been secured to sound an es-
pecially practical note. His topic will
be "How to Meet the High Cost OF
Living" Everywhere his address is
compelling attention. 1t represents
the results of over 10000 experiments
conducted during period of some fiji
teen years.
The great pressure of the world to-
day is on wheat, says DR.. McNutt, and
the wheat supply is almost exhausted
The problem is to find something to
take its place. DIR. McNutt has discov-
cred a wet process of milling suitable
for use in the home and on the farm
for preparing corn for purposes fol-
which wheat is now used. He can
prepare corn by this process and
make from it breadsticks, biscuits, pts
try and, in fact, anything for which
wheat -four is used No ferments, bak-
ing powder, or eggs, are needed.
DR.. McNutt can take any kind OF
grain and get new food value out OF
it. A bread made of corn and rice is
ore of his specialties Four different
physicians have said to him: What
you have done for the South is to deal
the death blow to pellagra." Medical
men say that more mineral salts are
needed in the food, and this is just
what DR. McNutt's process secures. He
tells how to make from the grains any
sort of breakfast food.
German scientists and army experts
in the United States have been trying
for a long time to discover way tc
prepare beans more quickly and more
BEAUTIFULLY. DR.. McNutt has found the
method. He first flakes the beans, then
shreds them, toasts them a little, and
they are ready for use. If whole beans
are used it takes an hour and hall
TO make soup, bot if they are prepared
by his process, any quantity of soup is
ready ten minutes after the prepared
beans are put into boiling water.
DR.. McNutt gets right down to cases
and outlines definite and specific ways
whereby what he describes may be put
into practice in the home. In all his
experiments he has worked for sim
pliiitv of method and to get 100fo value
from the food Most of the apparatus
he uses can be bought i'll local hard
ware store. Some is of his own inven-
tion. but he has taken out no patent
He explains the apparatus thoroughly
and even leaves plans for the con-
struction of his cooker. DR.. McNutt
made and used the first fireless cooker
in the United States.
The national government wants his
services, and even while touring he is
continuing his experiments and max
ing reports to Washington. At the
close or tlllS CHduId14ueR o"9'Hi1 -
yoes to serve with the New York food
commission. In every town he secures
a secretary, as the magazines are ask
irg him for articles, and he feels it is
mis- duty to the country to make pub
lie his discoveries.
, Wherever he travels, he studies the
nroducts of that section. While in the
South he is experimenting with the
neanut. and says that he has almost
found the method for taking the stickl-
ness out of peanut butter and making
il as smooth as dairy butter.
