FLOUR SUBSTITUTES
Suggested as Part of the Food
Conservation Program.

Because of the need to conserve
wheat, number of food materials
which may be substituted are sug-
gested by the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission, which is
cooperating in the food conserva-
ton movement. Commencing tomor
row, series of articles will be print
ed in the Journal giving recipes for
the successful use of wheat substi-
tutes.
Every housekeeper is familiar with
the use of corn meal, which can be
used without the addition of any flour
in making bread, gems, griddle cakes,
etc. But she may use corn meal also,
in preparing light bread, hot biscuits
and cookies. Other substances which
will lend themselves admirably to the
making of every sort of quick bread
are rice, sweet potato, peanuts, soy
bean meal, milo. kafr, feterita, dash
cen, banana, rye, oats, barley, etc
The receipt to be published in the
following lessons are a few of those
which may be used and merely sug-
gest some of the possible combina-'
tions of these various food materials

such as is found in wheat and which

milk or butter milk and soda may be
substituted for sweet milk and baking
powder. To guard against an excess
of soda, which causes yellow color
in the bread, use one-half to three
fourths level teaspoonfuls of soda to
every cupful of sour milk. The soda
should be sifted with the other in

quickly as possible especially after the

HALLOWEEN PARTY AT
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Halloween was here last night at
the First Presbyterian church and
the witches made merry and played
their mad pranks and told their weird
goulish tales of what the future held
in store for you-not all of them
weird-some forciful, some merry
and romantic
The church, under the supervision
of Mrs. VIM. F. Reed, Jr., ably as
sisted by Mrs. William Fisher, Mrs.
Ferris and others, was most appro-
priately decorated for the occasion.
The pews had been removed from the
main auditorium and burlap tackled
over the carpet to give it the rustic,
out-of-door appearance.
From the chandelier and over the
doors and on the walls hung great
festoons of old gray moss, that is
found only in our southland, and
makes one think of dense woods and
gray ghosts. On pedestals and over
all Nights and hanging from every
conceivable projection was the in
evitable Jack-o'-lantern, that leered
out with grotesque grimaces. The
Pickering candle lights in many MAX
ing them seem to wink. Black cats
were pinned to the walls and over
them fell the dim mellow lights,
from the umpkin-lanterns, and
then in abundance, covering the lower
portion of the walls, were the brooms
or broom sticks, for who ever heard
of witches without broom sticks and
switches. In the right hand corner
as YOU entered was the witches tent,
or booth, over it hung a large black

THOUGHTS FOR
THE DAY.

1t was Ven Dyke who said:
mot thine, nor mine; to question or
reply,
When He commands US, asking 'how?'
or WHY
He knows the cause. His ways are
wise and just;
Who serves the King must serve with
perfect trust
Could we but know, All! could we but
know
The hearts that we have made to
ache with pain.
BY little thoughtless deeds, we would
refrain
From doing them again and we would
With tear-wet eyes and beg them to
for give.
All! yes, our hearts would ever
warmer grow
Towards all mankind as long as we
should live.
Could we know.

Yesterday the "Forty-two" Club
met at the home of Mrs. Mayes, and
after several games, the members

salad, olives, oatmeal and raisin

given, many expressing a Willingness
to "do their Bit and assist in any

BACK HOME
Back home, affair from all the roar
and rush
Of city life, the spreading chestnut
trees
Make grateful shadows, and a gentle
hush
Broods over all; there is the hum
of bees,
The signing of the leaves in summers
breeze
AS white clouds sweep across the
sky's blue dome,
And all its peace and calm and
drowsy ease
Back hame.
Back home the kindly village folk of
old
Unhurried live their lives in calm
content,
Theirs is no fight for glory or for
gold:
A little earned, little wisely spent
Su. .ces for their needs, close to the
fold
Of home they stay. nor ever wish
Life is a simple story gently told
Back hame.
Back home are all the dear old child
hood things,
The swimming hole where once
used to play,
The village green, round which re-
membrance clings,
The country store which scarce has
changed today;
The thought of these is like fra
grant breath
From old-time gardens in the quiet
gloam:
Go back Not me! For I'd be bored to
death
Back hame.
