CHEAPER FLOURS ARE BETTER
From Standpoint Of Nutrition , Low
Patent Flours Excel

Recommending the use of low pat
ent white flours and wheat flours, the
extension division of the Utah agri-
cultural college has issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding -four for
bread:
The outer seed coats Of cereals
contain protein, minerals and certain
substances known as vitamines, the
latter absolutely necessary for a
child's growth.
Therefore use low patent white
fiours and wheat f1ours. Even at the
same or a higher price, they contain
more nutriment of a certain kind.
Use the whole wheat berry, freshly
garnered and cooked for many hours,
as a breakfast cereal. All the nutrf-
ment Of the berry is contained there
in.
The expense of bread may be re-
duced by addition Of cornmeal. 1t
will pay to plant corn. Finely bolt
ed corn meal is of but little food
value. Use coarse meal. Do not
waste good food materials by over
milling them. The b~y-products are
sold for stock food. Why not use
some Of them at home.

They require less labor, less equip

Of using bread crumbs in cookery,
and most housekeepers are in the
habit of having some on hand for
use in scalloped dishes, %stuffing for
meat, buildings, etc. Few realize,
however, how much more generally
they might be utilized. Many COM

used instead of flour and starch for

Sweet Potatoes

Southern and northern tastes differ
as to what is a desirable quality in
a sweet potato. In the south the
moist potato is considered best. At
the north the dry potato is more gen.
orally liked. The variety of potatoes
grown for the northern market is
commonly less sweet and moist than
those grown for the south. However,
long cooking will make any sweet
potato moist.

HOWARD COLLEGE ID CONTINUE ATHLETICS DESP|TE TIE WAR
Dr. Longwell Will Be Re tained-Final Action to Be Announced at Later
 Date

Football and other college athletics prob ably will be continued at Howard college in spite of war conditions, according to William A. Berry, chairman of the trustee committee on athletics. The matter is now in the hands of the trustee commit tee and alumni of the college and some definite announcement of policy is eX pected next week. Dr. J. B. Longwell is expected to continue as director of ath- letics if the sports are retained.
 We have been waiting to determine the sentiment of the country, of other col leges and universities and of the govern ment in the matter of college athletics" said MT. Berry Indications now are that, while college athletics will not quite be up to the standard during the war, the sports should be continued. It is a patriotic duty to keep our college men in good physical condition in war times, and athletics is the best thing to condition then.''
 Howard college has one of the best football schedules in her history, with games scheduled with Auburn, Sewanee, Vanderbilt and Birmingham college as the headliners. Baron Gibson of Lineville, the star guard of the Howard eleven for the last two years, is captain of the 1917 squad.
