Possibilities of Cornmeal

@OMPARED with other foodstufs OF

priced foods it helps to make economical

Cornmeal mush with milk or cream, for eS'

needs of the body. If pieces of leftover meat

the cornmeal mush, one has all the requisites
in food value. Picked over Goldfish, or indeed
any cold fish boned, will combine with cornmeal
mush almost as well as with potatoes to make
fishballs. And there again are all the food
values.
Cheap desserts also may be made by uniting
cornmeal mush and apples or other fruit.

Nv HEN planning the weekly
w menus with an eye TO con-
serving the wheat supply the
housewife must not lose sight of the
fact that in making many Of the So
called war breads" certain principles
must be borne in mind if the result is
to be pleasing to the family taste. The
bread must be relished and eaten, If
the object is to eliminate waste.
In making ordinary wheat bread
twelve ounces of flour are used for
every eight ounces of liquid, or one
and half pounds of flour for every
pound of liquid. In substituting corn
meal. rice or any other cereal in place
Of wheat the proportions by weight
must be kept IN mind. II does not
therefore do TO substitute a Cupful OF
cornmeal for a cupful Of wheat hour,
for the corn meal weighs six ounces
and the wheat -four only four.
An excellent example of cornmeal
and wheat bread will be found among
the recipes following the menus. In
this bread over 80 per cent of the
cereal is corn, as the one cup of corn
meal weighs six ounces and the two
cups of wheat only eight ounces. This

closet, all boxes, etc,
should be busted.
The housewife must
be on her guard at all
times if the house is
TO be free from pests.
Simple methods of ex-
terminating may be
employed successfully
to rout an occasional
invasion. Cracks in
the walls and crevices
in woodwork should
be carefully cleaned
and filled in order not
to provide lodging for

plish the same result,
with absolutely no
danger.
Bedbugs may be

less routed at once
they will cause an
en- d les s amount of
trouble. II they have
infested one room, or
one bed, care should
he taken not to carry
them TO other parts of
the house.
The room in which
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-16


room, even more than the other rooms OF the
house, will require daily busting and brushing
up to keep it in good order.
The bed is the important piece of furniture,
and needs particular attention. If, before leav-
ing the room in the morning, the window be
opened top and bottom and the bed aired the
room may be made up early in the day.
The bedclothes should be removed, one piece
at time, and spread out so that they are open
to the air, but do not touch the floor. Sunshine
in addition to the air will do much to freshen
sheets and blankets. The mattress may be
turned half over in order to allow the air to
pass around it, but care should be taken not
to bend it at too sharp an angle.
THOROUGH CLEANING NEEDED
When the bedroom is given its thorough
cleaning the mattress should be brushed with
whisk broom and beaten, not too hard with
a rattan beater. When good vacuum cleaner
can be used it is, of course, much better. This
work should be done out of doors when pos
sibe.
The boxed muslin cover that protects the
mattress will not require washing more than
two or three times year. In the case of box
springs. they should be brushed well with
stiff whisk broom, paying special attention to
the edges and seams
A very little kerosene or gasoene on cloth
will clean wire spring well. However, when
either of these cleansers is used the cleaning
should be done in the morning, with windows
open and no flame in the room or near. Also,
the cloths used in this cleaning must be care
fully disposed of to avoid mishap. If the
springs lift out, they should be removed be-
fore the bed itself is cleaned.
HOW TO TREAT BEDSTEADS
Metal bedsteads are more easily cared for
than wooden ones. The brass ones are usually
lacquered, and so need only good busting.
The white enamelled frame may be washed
with warm, soapy water, rinsed and wiped
dry washing particularly well the Jennings.
This treatment will keep the bed very clean
and fresh looking. If bed of this type chips,
the dark spots can easily be repaired by sand
papering away all roughness and touching up
the spots with white paint. The bedstead may
be made to look like new if freshly painted and
enamelled.
When the bedstead is of wood, the Jennings
of the sides and head and foot pieces must be
carefully cleaned. These Jennings should be
scrubbed occasionally and wiped with very
little gasoene. The rest of the frame may be
cleaned with any Of the furniture cleansers

BEDROOM, to be healthful,
must be absolutely clean at all
times. Smooth surfaces, simple
furnishings, the fewest pieces

that all American destrovers and vessels
that are guarding our coasts, be trans
fcrred to the Irish seas to fight the sub
marine, is a sound one The idea is, of
course, to save our shipping to garry men
and munitions to crush Germany, but
would not Germany simply mobilize her
U-bOats off the American coast and de-
stroy the supply ships at the beginning,
instead of at the end of the voyage?
At time when every man counts. our
shipping plans are held up by an insensate
"rangle, and the senator's whose ante
bellum activities were Ola sort m0s> pleas
ing to Germany, are delaying by every
means in their power, Our war plans against
Germany.
"The present cOuntings of comparative
plenty in food, says Mr.. Grastv, (which
conceal the seriousness Of the situation
from the general population, are due to the
tact that in 1914, 1915 and 1916, new ton
n1ge kept pace with the destruction, and a
good reserve was accumulated"
In the first six months of this wear, how
ever, the shipping loss has exceeded the
loss of 1916 by nearly a million and quar-
ter tons, "At the present rate Of destruc-
ton and new construction Mr. Grastv
estimates, add 100000 tons to the pres
emf total of shipping and subtract 100000
tons, The result will be the tonnage as it
will stand in July /, 1918"
Thus, as Mr., Denman says, not only
will we need the 100000 tons OF wooden
ships originally planned for hut all the
steel ships it is possible to build as WE'LL
And. too, Americas part in the big push
tbs winter and spring will be bigger than
is commonly expected Our ship yards
must enable us to hold out. in order that
OR aircraft and Our armies may be gotten
ready, for the submarines can be conquered
only by ConQuering GERMANY

SURPRISED At THE
GROWTH Of CITY

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Earl Tucker, o.
Houston, Texas, are in Pensacola for
weeks stay with relatives and
friends. Mrs. Tucker will be remem-
bered as Miss Beulah Crona, a for
mer Pensacola girl.
Mr.. Tucker was at one time rromi-
nentlv associated with one of the
largest drug firms of this city, and
has a large number of friends who
are pleased to greet him once more.
He is now general manager Of one
of the large drug stores of HOus-
ton.
Mr. Tucker is much enthused over
the progress that Pensacola has made
within the past three years, and says
that there is every evidence Of real
prosperity on every hand.
Mr.. Tucker will leave for points
in Alabama the latter part of the
week. FOR a stay of several days, be
fore he returns to Texas, and Mrs.
Tucker will remain in Pensacola with
her parents for an extended visit,
joining her husband about the 18th Of
August.

MATTER OF MONTHS.

One million six hundred thousand tons
a month, according to Charles H. Grasty,
in a special cable from London to the New
York Times now represent the total ship
ping destroyed by U-boats a month.
This includes not only British losses and
actual sinkings but all neuUals as well,
and also such ships as are "unsuccesSfully
attacked, of which some are beaChed and
then put out of use, and are not included
in the weekly statement of sinkings. That
the censor should have passed Mr.. Grasty's
despatch. suggests the approximate cor
rectness of the figures.
Our own navy department has stated
that submarines are sinking ships at the
rate of a million tons a month.
Arthur Pollen, British naval expert. at
present in the United States, thinks that the
Germans will not average more than
100000 tons a month. but whether we take
the 1500O0-tOn estimate. the milliOn-ton
estimate. or the million. six hundred thouS-
and-tOn estimate destruction IS greatly in
excess of construction. And. according to
Mr. Pollen's own calculations. defeat will
stare the allies in the face by February.
1919
"'rherefore," saws Mr.. Pollen. 1t is the
business of the allies to defeat Germany on
land before February l, 1919"
Grastv SAYS. 1T is around the Irish
coast that the fight for democracy is at its
deadiest crisis" and adds. mo military
victory short of marching into Berlin can
take the place of death blow tc the Ger
man U-boat."
Both are right
No matter what the outcome of the
U-warfare, Germany will not be defeated
until she is beaten on land-autocraCv
must be crushed from within or without
But it is doubtful il Grasty's suggestion

ERADICATION WORK PROGRESS

With thirty-three dipping watts con
structed Escambia county ranks second
in the state Lake county, with thirty
FIVE, is first.
Considering that tick eradication work
was begun here only little over a year
ago. this progress is truly gratifying. The
hostility with which every new thing is re-
ceived, has almost entirely disappeared,
and it needs only a few more watts for ks-
Gambia to qualify to enter the band OF tick
Tree counties.
But these half dozen have been needed
for months, and they are still no nearer
realization. Has EScambia countys pro-
gress run aground?
Nearly eight hundred cattle were dipped
i'll Escambia last month, or almost one
sixth of the total livestock so treated in
counties that are trying to qualify for the
tick-free diploma. The physical improve
ment these cattle underwent in consequence
has meant a definite increment to the
county's wealth.
In Santa Rosa and Walton, the work is
making gratifying Progress-the former
with nine watts and the latter with thirteen,
though Santa Rosa has dipped more stock.
Six new counties have taken steps to
provide for dipping-giving an area OF
1850 miles in Florida on which the tick
is being fought.
Counties that have not vet seen the light
should undertake the work immediately
particularly do we urge on all the authOri-
ties and all the developers and all the peO-
pic of EsCambia county to free it OF the
scOurge entirely.

SINCERITY OF MEXICO.

country by Mexico
Its release was a burning issue. 1t
