 We are asked If for wheatess meals we can use graham bread. Graham Is made from wheat hut as the grain Is not ground as fine, more Is saved, but 1t Is not a wheatiees bread
 We cannot make yeast bread with out the wheat but we can use bread made of 1-S white flour and the other tu thirds of other cereals. Again, "a cup of mashed potato to three cups of flour make excellent bread and If q family saves one cup of -four for every loaf of bread made that Is much in the course of a year.
 4 housewife told me recently that by cutting bread at table as 1t was wanrsd she had cut down one third the amount of bread made in her fam iiy.
 The stories that the Food Adminis- tration IS trying to get names and ad- dresses that the houses may be searched and. that their stored goods and canned products will be taken away are circulated by pro-Germans and malicious people to cause trouble.
 Above all, sign the pledge card and by your example encourage others td do their part in conserving the food supply,

PUBLIC MUST CONSERVE
 THE COAL SUPPLY
There is Imperative Need For Eeeno
 my ia Fuel Consumption.

Thomas w. Russell, Federal Fuel chairman of the Coal Committee of the Connecticut State Council of De- fense, in an interview expressed con- siderable disappointment at the appar- ent failure of the public to economfze in the use of coal, particularly in re- gard to the heating of office buildings. theaters, hotels, etc. He also advised tenants of buildings that are heated by landlords to expect this winter a temperature lower by several de- grees' than has been customary in past winters. MT Russell said:
 During the past few days the at- tention of the Fuel Administrator has been called several times to number of cases in various cities of Connecti- cut where theaters, hotels and office buildings have been heated far beyond the requirements of the prevailing out side temperature.
 "The fact that coal is not plentiful and is not going to be plentiful this winter cannot be expressed too strong ly upon the consumer, and the atten- tion of owners of buildings must be drawn to the imperative need of econ ony in fuel consumption. Unusual at tention to this matter should be given at the present time both from the standpoint of self interest and of pa- triotic duty.
 ''The general public. including ten- ants of buildings that are heated by landlords, should be willing to expect this winter a temperature that is low CT by several degrees than has been customary and should realize that the reduction in heating aims at the com mon good and is not due to negligence on the part of firemen or landlords"
