WHAT WHOLE WHEAT CAN DO
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, April IL. Whole
wheat which can be bought in the
grain at seed or feed stores, is one
Il the best all-around cheap and nu-
tritious foods in the country. Every
American home should keep supply
of whole wheat. When soaked for
several hours and cooked an equal
length of time it makes a delicious
breakfast food. Ground in a hand
grist mill which can be bought for
three or four dollars, it is equally
palatable when made into bread or
used a a cereal.
1t has been estimated that whole
wheat, cooked over night in fire
less cooker, or cooked all day on the
back Of the kitchen range, makes a
cereal costing l-l6 the proce of the
same patent commercial breakfast
foods. and furnishes, moreover, fully
equal nourishment.
Whole wheat may he cooked with
out cracking or grinding, but it re-
quires many hours in double boil
er to cook thoroughly. Whole wheat
ground in hand grist mill should be
cooked at least three hours oveg the
fire or all night in a fireless cooker.
To have the best flavor it should not
be too moist. The longer it is cook
ed the better. 1t is possible to cook
up enough for several days and warm
it over as desired. If whole wheat
is soaked several hours. 1t will not
need to be cooked so long.

SUBMARINE CHASERS BEING
BUILT IN CHICAGO, ILL
(By United Press)

CHICAGO. April IL. - Two sub
marine chasers, planned to be the
speedest of their kind, are being con-
structed in Chicago and within few
days will be on their way to the At
lantic seaboard. For obvious reasons
the place of their construction and
the time of their departure is kept
secret by their owners and the gov
ernment.
The two boats, which their own
ers expect to be of inestimable SER
vice as submarine chasers, are the
Disturber vi, owned by Commodore
James A. Pugh and the Kanawha,
owned by John Borden.
The Kanawha, which will carry 4
siX-pounders and two machine guns
is 225 feet long and has a gross ton
mage of 475 tons. II has speed of
twenty five miles an hour and car
ries crew of 65 men. It was the
first yacht to be offered to the gov
eminent and is being remodeled un-
der government supervision.
The Distributor vi is one Of the
fastest boats afloat. 1t is low and
almost invisible to an enemy at dis
tance of two or three miles. Capable
of making a mile minute, the speed
boat with its sharp steel bow can be
upon submarine even before the
commander can give orders to sub
merge. 1t is to be armed with a Al
/ inch gun. Whether other armament
will be carried Commander Purh re-
fused to stated.
The Disturber is being used by the
government as model for the con.
struction of 200 similar boats. It j.
