SUBSTITUTE FOR WHEAT.

In an article approved by Mr.. Hoov-
er in the September Woman's Home
Companion, a writer says:
1--WE shall be compelled to substi-
tute at least o~ne-fourth, and possibly
one-third. of other cereals for wheat.
The supplementary cereals available
TO us are rye, oats, barley, rice, corn
and buckwheat. In a general sense.
all of these grains in a mixed diet
are equal to wheat, though they do
not possess the qualities that lend
themselves to the making of a table
bread. Flours from all of these
grains may be mixed with wheat
flour; all of the bread eaten by our
allies in Europe is made of wheat
flour mixed with a certain percentage
OF flour of rice, rye, barely and oats
or corn. 1t Is optional with our peo-
pie to use these substitutes in the
way that seems most satisfactory.
The forecast Of the crop of oats, bar
ley and rye indicates a large increase
over the yield of last year. 1t is also
certain, barring untoward climatic
conditions. that the yield of last year
in rice and corn will be exceeded.
Apparently we shall not lack substi-
tutive cereals, and this Is fortunate
because 1t will thus permit the wom-
en in the different sections Of the
country to manage in accordance with
their previous experience, and in ac-
cordance with their tastes and those
Of their families"

COTTAGE

Cottage cheese Is richer in protein
than most meats and Is very much
cheaper. Every pound contains more
than 3 ounces of protein, the chief
a valuable source of energy, though
not SO high as foods with more fat.
1t follows that It's value In this re-
spect can be greatly increased by
serving 1t with cream, as is so com
monty done.
Cottage cheese alone is an appetiz-
ing and nutritious dish. 1t may also
be served with sweet or sour cream
and some people add a little sugar,
or chives, or chopped onion, or car.
way seed.
The following recipes Illustrate a
number of ways in which cottage
cheese may be served:
Cottage Cheese with Preserves and
JeIiies-Pour over cottage cheese any
fruit preserves, such as strawberries,
figs, or cherries. Serve with bread or
crackers. II preferred, cottage-cheese
balls may be served separately and
eaten with the preserves. A very
dainty dish may be made by droppinl
a bit Of jelly into a nest OF the cot
tage cheese.
Cottage-Cheese Rolls-A large va
riety of rolls to be used like meat
rolls, suitable for serving as the main
dish at dinner. may be made by com
bining legumes Oceans of various
cottage cheese and adding bread
crumbs to make the mixture thick
enough to form into a roll. Beans
are usually mashed. but peas or small
Lima beans may be combined whole
with bread crumbs and the liquor in
which the vegetables have been cook,
ed may be added to get the right con
sistency; or, instead of beans or peas,
chopped spinach, beet tops, or head
lettuce may be ADDED.
Cheese Sauce-1 cupful milk, | ia
b~lespoonful cottage cheese, > table
spoonfuls flour, salt and pepper to
taste. Thicker the milk with the
-four and just before serving add the
cheese, stirring until 1t is melted.
This sauce may be used in prepar-
ing creamed eggs or for ordinary milk
toast. The quantity of cheese in the
recipe may be increased, making a
sauce suitable for using with macar-
oni or rice.

Household Helps and Hints

TO learn something of the nutritive
value of foods. The increasing cost
Of many common foods leads to a
temptation to reduce expenses by ex.
Guiding those foods the prices of
which seem prohibitivc. This uncon-
sidered method Of banishing a food
from the family board or OF limiting
the amount to be used may often
prove harmless and conservative. II
is, however, an altogether unsafe
practice, because the food thus elm
mated may be, in spite Of it's seem
ingly high cost, the cheapest posi-
BILE source OF some. nutritive substance
of the body.
A study Of the value Of milk as a
food and the particular part It should
play In the dietary will serve as an
illustration of the method that should
be followed in determining the right
Of any food to a place in the daily
meals.
When all the evidence Is In, no
food bears the Investigation Of nu-
%tritive properties better than does
milk. 1t is impossible to escape the
conviction that not only is it a cheap
food, but 1t is a food whose value
can hardly be estimated In terms of
dollars and cents. 1t has been point.
ed out that:
l. Although milk Is not the cheap
est source of energy that can be
bought, 1t is nevertheless an impor-
tant source Of energy, and the ener-
gy- yielding substances, the protein,
the milk-sugar, and the milk-fat all
have special value.
2. Milk is a cheap source of pro-
tein because the protein hat 1t con
tains is of a kind particularly valu.
able for building tissue.
3. Ordinarily milk Is the cheapest
and most valuable source of lime, un.
less 1t is discovered that lime in wa
ter can take the place of lime in milk
4. Milk is a valuable and cheap
source of phosphorus.
5. MIX Is deficient in iron. but the
iron that it contains is particularly
well utilized by the body.
s. Milk Is the most important oil

which are the chief sources OF a fac
tor in foods that Is soluble in fat
that is essential to growth and health
and that is called "fat-soluble A."
Z. Milk is one of the most impor
tant sources Of a factor in foods tina
is soluble in water, that is essential
to growth and health. and that Is
called "watersoluble b."

the class room is fast developing a
slang OF its own in the barracks. Be
ing as yet in the formative period.
these slang expressions conflict and
overlap. They may be put Out in the
form of a dictionary when more
thoroughly systematiZed. The Avia-
tion Section perhaps more than any
other branch of the service will de-
yelop a language of its own.
ITO return to the beginning, the az.

tors in their line. Into this school
20 students from colleges and univer-

edge of the rudiments of air fighting.
but their spirit, we believe, is of the
kind which will build up thai new
branch of the service which many
believe to be the keynote to the de-
feat of kaiserism. There is indeed a
great future for the American Navy

that short space of time are crowded
a great many events. Among these
200 college men there is sufficient
talent for day after day of entertain

During the half-hour interval BE-

DON'T HOARD YOUR FOOD.

The September Woman's Home
Companion says:
I'm times of need it is natural 70
hoard. This is a primitive instinct.
Many animals hoard food for the win
ter, and usually ii is when their food
Is plentiful, vastly in excess of their
needs. 1t may indeed be said to BE-
the general rule that, If unlimited
food supplies are available, animals
that hoard will do so in excess Of the
needs of the season.
This Is also true OF human beings.
When they hoard they hoard unwise-
ly and in excess Of their needs, and
the result is the same as in the case
of animals. Food Is lost through de
composition. From the standpoint Of
the economy of the purchaser this is
the first reason against boarding.
THE second eason against hoard
ing is that of driving up all the
prices. No matter whether the de
mand is natural or artificial. the re
suit upon the price is the anne The
act OF boarding, therefore, Is a social
crime In that it drives up the price
Of living for the individuals who do
not hoard, and to the profit OF no
one"

A PATRIOTIC BOY.

The local exemption board had A
patriotic. though peculiar. request
made Of them on Tuesday. Geo.
Goodman, Of Aurora, applied for en-
listment as he saw by the list that
his cousin. Henry p. Kinsler, had
been returned as accepted for ser
vice. 1t is certainly too bad that the
board has not the right to enlist men
when they want to join the new army.
And we do not believe that there
would be so many applications as to
disarrange the whole scheme of the
draft. George is a patriotic young
man and it is sad that there are not
more like him around the country.

MILk-A CHEAP FOOD.
minnesota Farm Bulletin)

minnesota Farm Bulletin)
Milk is a cheap food. Furthermore,
in any family dietary where the wei
fare of children as well as of adults is
intelligently considered, it is almost a
necessity.
The proof that milk is a cheap food
is not In the price paid for the quart.
Even at fifteen or twenty cents a
quart milk is a cheap source of GER
tain nutritive substances always
needed by the body, and particularly
needed during the growth period.
An amusing incident serves to show
how great may be the failure to real
ize that milk is a food having a
greater value than any ordinary bev-
erage. The head Of a well-known
C was shown some figures that
compared the food values of a quart
of milk and a pound Of meat. The
advantages were in favor of the milk.
"That is all very well on paper" he
said, "and I'm glad to have those fig
ures to encourage the sale of milk and
increase my business, but you and |
know they are just onsen Why
a real food is something you have to
chew"
There is an urgent need at this
time for consumers, and particularly

YOU CAN'T STOP GRIMES.
Lance Corporal, Wounded For Sixth
Time, Will Fight Again.


Lance Corporal Ernest Grimes has
been wounded again, his sixth time,
but says, "I'll soon be ready to go back
and do another bit" Grimes enlisted in
the regular army In 1910 and was
drawn from India when the little army
settled down to the first winter of
trench warfare. His first wound came
at hill 60, when he was hit by hand
grenade fragment. Five months in a
hospital was his portion. The second.
a bullet wound in the arm, took six
weeks to repair. Last summer on the
Somme shrapnel ball hit Grimes In
the leg and put him away for two
months, and another grenade wound in
the back, suffered in the fighting at
Moquet Farm, sent him to the hospital
for the fourth time.
A man with four wound stripes il
usually retired into some noncombatant
job out of danger if he is still of some
use to the army. But Grimes thought
he could do more damage in the trench
es, so he went up again and was
wounded in the foot by a shell at Les
boeufs.
His latest wound came in the big
push at Messines. An explosive bullet
hit him in the left leg.
