had its beginning in the minds of
some of Nashville's foremost young
men who after hearing from the re-
ports of two representatives of the
city who had visited our boys in the
camps expressed the great need of the

Tuskegee, Ala, Dec. S-The bak-
cry at the Tuskegee Institute has
been successfully experimenting with
sweet potatoes as partial substi
tute In making bread. This bread is
composed of approximately two parts
white flour and one part boiled,
mashed sweet potatoes. The result
OF the use of this combination has
been the saving of about 200 pounds
OF flour each day and there is no very
apparent difference between this
bread and the bread which is made
wholly of wheat -four. The potato
bread will be used exclusively at the
Institute as part of Tuskegee's pro-
gram of war economy. A booklet
describing somewhat in detail this
experiment with sweet potatoes has
been prepared at the Institute.

Little Difference Is Noticed
Over Quality of Early

A tinge darker, somewhat heavier
and with a taste quite familiar "war

prescribing the ingredients and
weight, but not attempting to fix
prices.
The war loaf" will work no hard
shlps TO judge by the amiable way in
which it was received Bakeries re-
port that there were no complaints
ana scarcely any comments. One pos
slDle objection one hears was that
the war loaf" dries out more quick :

hand many critics declared this loaf
TO be tdstier than the other. One
thing was made certain the consumer
Is getting more for his money. Under
the old plan of twelve and a half
ounces for seven cents, the average
was one and eight-tenths ounces per
cent. Now, under the eight-cent price

TWO ounces for a cent, or nearly a
ten per cent. increase. 49,
Many housewives have Undertakes

skim milk allowed to each barrel of
hour. 1t was found necessary to add
quantities of water to the skim milk.
The cheaper formula for home
made bread eliminates all the skim
milk, but does not impair the quality
or lessen the nutriment of the bread
Experts estimate that in the process
of baking all the protein in the milk
is toughened to indigestiblity ana
that the fats which milk contains are
lost when the top of the milk is
SKINNED according to government
rules. Water therefore can be sub
stituted for skim milk, and at a saw

Bread can be baked at home from
the government formula at far less
cost than is set by the store prices.
One may bake at an average cost of
a fraction under sixteen cents for
three pounds. The lowest store price
would be 81 centss. Ps
