CANON CITY FOLKS SHOULD EAT MORE CORN MEAL

Washington, Aug. 2S.-One way to
reduce the cost of food for the family.
say the specialists of the L. S. De
partment of Agriculture, is 10 use
more corn meal, where this is low in
price as compared with other cereals.
Corn meal at present prices when
bought at reatil stores costs about
half as much per pound as wheat
flour, one-third of much as rolled
-four, one-third as much as rolled
wheat, and about half as much as
broken rice. That is. il costs much
less per pound than any of the pop
corn meal usually sold. from which
the germ of the grain has been re-
moved TO make the meal keep longer
has a food value which compares
It does not supply quite so much
protein or mineral matter for build
ing the tissues of the body, but on
the other hand, it gives more fat
and starch, pound for pound. and its
value as fuel for the body is fully as
high.
The old-fashioned unbolted corn
meal made from the whole grain.
which can often be obtained by the
farmer who will take his grain to
mill. and can often be purchased in
shops and markets, contains more of
the tissue-building material and has
what many consider even a better
flavor then the bolted meal, and is
much liked for making some forms
of corn bread.
Any family, in town or country. can
have the best of corn meal by grind
ing II at home in hand grist mill.
The city man can buy corn by the
bushel at a grain store. He can
grind 1t coarse or fine, to suit the
taste OF the family. and in quantities
to last a day or week, or longer.
Most people will agree that this meal
containing the germ is very palatable
and compares we'll in this respect
with that ordinarily purchased ready
ground. Prices of hand mills of sub
stantial make run from $3.50 to SIS 90.
a small mill can be had for as little
as $3.50. though this probably would
prove too tedious TO use. except for
small quantities.
Whether obtained at the retail
