any onc VIII waits W uSc ccG-
eals for the purpose of food, to
nourish the human system, can
buy them in Colville at the fol-
lowing prices at any grocery store
or from the mill:
Wheat, secured and brushed,
good for boiling for breakfast
dishes, sc lb.
Whole wheat crushed, same as
ordinary breakfast food, 5 1-2
cents.
Whole wheat flour, with the
bran gone, for bread or pastry,>6
cents.
Graham flour, which means the
whole wheat including the bran,
6 cents.
White -four, with the bran and
heart gone, cents.
Rolled oats. with the hull conc,
same as any patent rolled oats,
for making oatmeal, S cents.
Rye flour 6 cents.
Bran, for mixing with white
flour or graham. or for mullins.
gems, etc. 5 cents.
And the above prices include d
per cent profit for the dealer.
Compare these prices with the
ones many people are paying
Shredded wheat 90 cents, cream
Of wheat II cents. Roman meal II
cents, crackers Is to 81 cents. etc.
The -four mill is now paying
more than 3 cents a pound for it's
wheat. The cost Of manufacture,
handling, and the retailers pro-
fit bring the cost Of the ground
wheat only 2 - to 3 cents more.
Hence every time you pay fancy
price for a fancy article, you are
helping somebody's pocketbook
besides your own-and you are
getting nothing better for your
money.
1t has been theory that boxed
and specially prepared cereals
We're more sanitary. Yet did you
ever go through a box factory, a
glue mill. a printing office, and "A
packing shed? Would you guar
antce that every time your food
passed through these places it
would be cleaner? Isn't it true
that every added process Of man
ufacture' adds that much likeli-
hood Of dirt, Of uncleanliness, of
ihsanitation?.
The Colville mill prepares it's
flour in sacks-of cloth or paper
You get it from the merchant in
the original sack, and no hands
touch it before yours. When you
get boxed cereals, or packed
foods, or candies, or anything
which has special preparation;
you know that it has had to pass
through many hands to be thus
prepared, and the extra wrap
pings and coverings and sealings
cannot possibly add any cleanli-
ness or any extra sanitation to
the original product. They look
prettier, make better store dis
play, are put up in smaller pack
ages for smaller purchasers-but
you pay for it many times over
| without getting any more food
benefit. And at the same time
your local manufacturer, which
makes but one operation which
you can 60 and see for yourself, is
going without your needed pa
tronage, and you are failing to
buildup your home town by buy
ing the product Of the east.
Common sense in food buying
will come just as soon as the adj
visibility Of keeping down the
cost is apparent.

HOW TO USE LESS WHEAT.

lecturer for the home economics
department Of the University Of
Washington, finds that the con-
stant question of housekeeper
hearers is this: "What does the
government mean when it asks us
to Use less wheat? What can we
substitute 20 Miss Rausch's an
swer follows:
The government means Just
this: Instead of eating white
bread, baking powder biscuits,
rolls, cake, or pastry made from
white -four, that in each of these
foods as you make them, You take
out some of the white flour and
use graham, whole wheat, corn
meal, rye, barley, or any kind Of
-four or meal that is not white
-four For instance, when you are
making pastry. you could use two
cups of white -four and one cup of
graham flour, or soy bean -four,
either of fhe two making excellent
pastry. When you make white
bread. use some boiled potatoes
so as to save some Of the -four,
but remember that potatoes are
much more moist. so you must use
less of your milk or milk and wa
ter. or whatever liquid you are
using. Unless you are q very eX
pert breadmaker do not try 10
put more than % per cent of the
coarser fours into your bread.
After you become accustomed to
making graham, or corn or rye
bread you can put about hall. and
YOU will have good results When
You are making cake, II your rec
ipe calls for four cups Of white
flour, use three cups Of white
flour and one cup Of graham flour.
When you are making ginger
bread, put in little graham and
little rye -four with the white
-four. You will find that the mix
ture of the fours usually gives
very excellent results. When you
make baking powder biscuits, use
three-fourths cupful of white -four
and take one-fourth cupful Of
cornmeal. and you will have very
nice results.
Do not eat any wheat cereals,
such as Cream of Wheat, Farina,
or Shredded Wheat for breakfast,
but use instead any Of the corn
cereals, rice, barley, or oats. If.
YOU have any leftover cereals
from breakfast, add them when
you are making bread, and use
less -four. If you happen to have
stale cornbread, dry it, roll it out
and use it either in making bread
or as a substitute for part of the
-four in making cake. 1t is also
excellent mixed with an egg and
seasoning and used for stuffing
chicken. When you make corn
meal bread for breakfast use
some wheat -four with it, as it is
difficult to make good cornbread
of c6rnmeal alone.
There are quite number OF
good breakfast dishes made from
cornmeal, such as corn pone, ETC.
Instead Of using pancakes made
from white -four, use rice, corn
meal, oatmeal or bread crumb
pancakes. Barley pancake flour
is now on the market and is really
excellent. IF you have stale bread
crumbs from any kind of bread,
soak them in cold water, squeeze
them dry and use instead of flour.
All the government asks you to
do is to take some Of the other
fours in place of white flour. You
are not asked to give up wheat
bread, or to give up the use OF
white -four entirely. If each fam
lily will accede to this very mOder-
ate request from the government,
there will be plenty of wheat -four
to take care of the nations We
have promised to help, to keep

EQUAL FRANCHISE LEAGUE
 HEARS OF CONVENTION
Mrs. F. H. Sykes Tells of Big Gather
 ing Held in Washington.

A most interesting meeting of the Equal Franchise League was held at the home of Mrs William A. Norton, president of the Norwich branch, We'd nesday afternoon. After the reading of the reports of the secretary and the treasurer, Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell spoke of the work done by the corn- mittees appointed to draw up the bill providing for state reformatory for women in Connecticut. She spoke of the business-lilxe way in which it had been done and fnstanced the method employed in the actual Framing of the bill by obtaining the statutes of five states and by taking the best from each, compiling the bill as presented Mrs. Mitchell, herself a member of the committed told of the work done in obtaining and classifying the prison statistics for women prisoners The actual cost to the state for board only, for these women was for one year commitment and fines over s2O.oo0 ad- ditional, the latter amount being of course total loss to the state. The hearing at Hartford was mentioned and the great necessity for this insti- tuition was emphasized.
 Mrs. Norton then introduced Mrs. Frederick H. Sykes, who attended the convention of the Congressional Union held March 1 to 4 and who spoke on that subject. She spoke of the ob- ject of the convention, the federal amendment to the constitution and some of the methods used to further the same. The Congressional Union is making every move count and is adept at timing all their moves. It is essentially political though not poll tic.
 Mrs. Sykes spoke of the picketing of the White House, which consisted merely of several women, of whom she was one. bearing each the banner of the Equal F'ran1hise League, stand ing on the sidewalk outside the man. sion, saying nothing and @oing noth- ing.
 The spirited meetings of the, con- vention were alluded 10. the brilliant speeches by noted leaders, all utterly without rancor and often permeated with fine sense of humor. The var rious methods used and the general aim and plan of the convention were given.
 Mrs Sykes is a vigorous and witty speaker and her words were deeply in teresting. She is a firm believer in the Congressional Union work as well as that of the National League and is convinced of the necessity of both parties in the work.
 After her delightful talk the meet ing was served with very dainty re- treatments by the hostess.

FEAR JUDGMENT BECAUSE
 OF UNCLEAH LIVES.
Evangelist Linden's Sermon Made Lasting Impression Wednesday Night.

Wednesday night in the evlngelistic campaign at the First Baptis. church Evangelist Linden was once more at his best in the sermon he preached on the subject Mans Accountaibility to God. He used the text found in Rom. 14: 12, So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God He showed how men in high degree and low degree everywhere feel that when the period is made on life then an ac- counting must be given. Men arS not afraid to shuffie off this mortal coil; that is not a consideration. The big thing that people fear is that Gods searchlight will be turned upon them and that for every little item of fife recording must be made. Men fear the judgment because of the unclcan lives they have lived here. The sermon
 made a lasting impression.
 This afternoon immediately after school at o'clock will be held the first Booster rehearsal for this week. All boys mad girls who wers' in the program last Saturday night and all others who would like to join the chorus are asked to come promptly, because there is lot of work to do. Walt, Linden's chorus leader, going to teach them De Brewers Big Hcsses. one of the special features of the pro- gram for Saturday night, and this gong will take time, with other songs, stunts and yells that are to be taught. Tonight at the First Baptist church the evangelist will preach on she sub ject Two Destinies- It is expected that great delegation of clerks from the Porteous & Mitchell store will be guests. This with the regular congre- gation ought to bring out a splendid crowd to the meeting. Everybo6y is
 most cordially invited.
 The arrangements are com pIete for the special service which is to be Eeld tomorrow (F'riday) evening at the church, when Evangelist Linden will preach his sermon on the subject of Amusements. in which he considers the product of the theatre. the cards and the dance. The evangelist annornces that only a moral coward will refuse to hear the other side of the amuse- ment question and so he is anxious that all who indulge, whether in one or all, of these amusementg st ould
 Sear this sermon, for he faiti fully ln omises that no embarrassment will be offered to anyone. He desire the privilege of presenting the product of these anusements, then he will gladly leave it with the individual judgment of his hearers to decide what to do. All over Norwich people are planning to come to this meeting and 50 a ca
 pacity crowd is expected at the church tomorrow night.
 In order that there might be a far
 reaching effect in the sermon which
 Evangelist Linden breaches to men
 and boys only, 1t has been decided by the men of the First Baptist church
 that the mems meeting next Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock should be held under the auspices of theY NJ c. A. in the Central Baptis. church building. A monster mems mass IF eet- Fgelist who knows mems problems and

 Houghton Bulkeley who Is superVis- ing the tabulation of returns from the nurses of the state. said yesterday that his department has taken care of all the returns thus far received, and that the completeness of the task when the last return received is tabulattd. now depends entirely upon the re- sponse by the 500 individual degistered nurses whose returned blanks have not yet been received at headquarters
 The blanks already received, MT. BuIkeley said, indicate the willingness of a majority of Connecticut nuEses to respond to an emergency call any where. Mir.

 At the same time. the request wna made that any registered nurses In the state who have not received blanFs for the military census write to the state headquarters in Hartford and ask for blanks, which they may then ili ont and return.
