BY BIDDY BYE.

As we carry on" the food' conser-
walton campaign the cooks who pre-
pare wheatless day substitutes discover
more and more the difficulty Of scrv-
ing breads made entirely without flour.
Except for corn. Boston brown and
graham breads, almost all other cereal
breads require a small portion Of the
glutenous wheat flour as a binder for
their heavier ingredients.
Most Of these cereal breads require
but a half cupfiil Of flour. therefore
patriotic home bakers can effect a sub
stantial saving Of wheat by using them.
some cooks plan a wheatless meal a
day, thereby saving wheat seven times
a week.
OF the three following recipes, one
requires no wheat, the others but small
amounts.
OATMEAL MUFFINS.
Sift together ~ cupfuls Of dry oat-
meal. cupfuls wheat flour, 1 tea
spoonful salt, , teaspoonfuls baking
powder. Rub into this mixture
tablespoonful very cold lard, add
eggs, we'll beaten, and ! pint Of milk.
Mix into a batter a lltlle thinner than

URGESU.S. CONTROL
OF FOOD SUPPLIES
Central Authority Needed
Hoover Tells Senate.

Some strong central authority to
handle the food problem and prompt
action in dealing with that problem
were strongly urged on the Senate
Committee on Agriculture today by
Herbert e. Hoover. chairman OF the
food committee OF the Council of Ma
tional Defense. Mr.. Hoover testified
behind closed doors, at his own re-
quest, just as he did yesterday before
the House Committee on Agriculture.
The reason assigned for secrecy IL
that Mr.. Hoover has been in the Euro
pean countries and knows at hrst
hand about food conditions. and some
OF the things which he set forth he
doesn't want made public.
May BE Food Controller.
Mr.. Hoover Is the man who may
become the food controller OF the
country. He has been strongly urged
for the place. He Is said not to be
ambitious for the task, but thinks II
IT should be imposed on him 1t would
be a matter OF patriotic duty for him
to accept.
Mr.. Hoover who also has been men
toned as the American member OF
the proposed international food COM
mission does not advocate maximum
price legislation, but thinks first at
tention should be given to conserva-
ton and distribution. He is favorably
disposed to fixing of a minimum price.
Urges Central Authority.
Mr.. Hoover emphasized the need OF
a central authority to deal with the
food question. He is understood to
favor a food controller or a strong
food commission.
He will appear again tomorrow.

ENGINEERS TO BUILD
EXPEDITION CAMPS
Nine Regiments viii Be Harbinger
Of Troops in France.

In addition to the task which they
will Immediately undertake, OF re-
building shelI-torn railway lines back
of the lighting front in France, the
nine regiments OF engineers that
have been ordered organized and sent
to Europe will probably prepare
quarters and training sites for the
American expedItionary forces that
will shortly follow them.
These camp sites. it is understood,
will be located close TO the front, so
that the American soldiers can be
given their i've or six weeks of "in-
tensive" training within sound and
sight OF the ighting.
Besides the two regular army en-
ginser officers who will be assigned
to organize and command each OF the
regiments between 300 and 500
officers of the engineer reserve corps
will be selected to accompany the
attachments to Europe. The regular
army officers will serve as colonel
and adjutant, respectively, Of each OF
the regiments.
Should the American commission to
Russia, headed by Elihu Root. sue
coed in holding that country in line
against a separate peace with Ger
many it is not unlikely that Ameri-
can engineer troops and railway ma
terial will be sent to that country
also in the near future.
Six engineer officers, prominent in
Washington, are among nine desig-
mated by the War Department today
to command the expeditionary force
of 1900 engineers which viii lbe sent
