breads, and many Of them can be sub
stituted for part of the wheat -four in
making yeast breads.
Breakfast foods should be chosen
carefully if economy is desired, since
the form in which the food is pur-
chased largely determines the cost.
Meals from which mushes may be
made may be obtained for a few cents
a pound, while specially prepared
grains may cost up to 4S cents or even
more per pound
One way to lessen the cost of break
fast foods is to buy whole grains from
a feed store and grind them cOarsely
in a coffee or other hand mill. The
cracked grains when sailed properly,
boiled thoroughly and served with but
ter or sugar and cream or milk make
wholesome and palatable foods. Boil
ed grains, such as rice, barley, corn
meal or hominy, may be used in the
same way, or any of these may be
combined into dishes with cheese. eggs
or meat, which add both flavor and
nitrogenous food elements.

SWIMMING HELPS
BY AN EXPERT
If You Plan to Go to the Beach
For Your Vacation, Heed These
Pointers Before You Hypnotic
Yourself That You Can't Swim.

nON'T try to hold your head far
L. out of the water. To do so in
creases the strain. All that needs
to be out of the water is the nose, for
breathing.
Don't make hard work of it, for that
tires you quickly. The strokes should
be slow and complete. Try counting
ten during each stroke.
Don't wear any more clothes than
you need. They hinder your move
ments and make the body much heav-
Ter. Many of the costumes now seer
along the shore are inspired more by
vanity than modesty.
Don't, above all, wear a corset or a
tight belt, for these hinder the circula-
ton. Many cases of cramps have been
traced directly to corsets and tight
belts.
Don't swim after eating or eat for
an hour after swimming.
Don't go into the water unless the
body Is thoroughly warm. Don't stay
In the water after your teeth com
mence to chatter.
Don't stay in the water more than
fifteen minutes the first time or two.
Then you may increase the time by
five minutes each day. Unless the con-
ditions are exceptionally fine you
should never stay In the water more
than half an hour.
Don't go In swimming on a cold, raw
day even II the water seems warm.
Don't try to dive until you have per-
feet confidence In your stroke. Don't
at any time try to dive In shallow
water.
Don't court scares In the water. They
may come to you In time, but don't
come round looking for them. Hunting
trouble is the most foolish thing my
body ever does in swimming.
There are very many different kinds
Of scares in the water. To learn to
swim at all II must conquer enough
of them to make it wise for the rest
of ones swimming career to let them
alone and not seek them.
Straining at distances beyond the
strength of the young swimmer is one
of the first scares to avoid. There
is no terror in life equal to that of
being In the middle of a long distance
swim, with no rescue or help near, ana
finding yourself conscious Of an in
creasing fear that you cannot make the
distance. 1t is a paralyzing sensation,
alongside of which nothing can be
named.
Distance swims are good and should
be encouraged. But always have a boat
go with you or ever a strong swimmer
whose confidence and strength may re-
enforce your own in emergency. Swim
along shore rather than across wide
areas of water where no rest is posi-
BILE. Gradually learn to rely upon your
own strength and ability to master the
distance without help, and finally, when
you are ready for your trial of the
long swim, have help handy in case
you need 1t.
Don't dive where you are NOT per-
fectly sure of the bottom and of what
is under the surface. Spiles and odd
rocks which nobody suspected the pres
enc of have broken many a neck and
~paralyzed many a swimmer for life.
Mud bottoms are almost as bad If the
water Is at all shallow.

FOOD COST
The Value of Cereals Is Hardly
Well Understood Yet.
JUST WHAT THEY CONTAIN.

Government Experts Tell Us How They
May Be Bought, Cracked, Ground and
Combined to Lessen the Meat Bill
During This Wartime.
Prepared by the office of information.
department Of agricultural
The most practical mean of reducing
table expenses without decreasing the
wholesomeness and adequacy of the diet
lies In increased use OF cereal foods, es-
pecially boiled grains, mushes and
breads made Of cornmeal and cereals
other than wheat.
Cereals contain most of the impor-
tant food elements which the body
needs and yet are comparatively mex
p~ensive. They are primarily a source
of starch needed by the body to yield
energy. They furnish also considerable
quantities of protein, n of the most
important and usually one of the most
expensive food elements needed to build
the body and keep it In repair. In adj
dition, cereals furnish mineral matter,
fats, fiber and, especially if part of the
bran Is left In, little-known substances
which regulate bodily activities.
If cereals are to be made a more Inn
portant feature of the diet, mushes and
boiled grains, as well as baked doughs,
should be eaten In greater quantity.
Practically any of the cereals may be
used In making some type Of bread
Wheat has been most used because its
gluten makes possible the raising Of
the dough with yeast. F1ours and
meals Of the other grains, however,
may be made into baking powder

Bio Schemel

Any one who has handled a baby
carriage knows how hard it Is to get
it up and down the porch steps alone
without Earring and jolting. A very
simple device is proving a saving both
to the carriage and to the mother in
one suburban home. Two boards
about three or four inches wide were
nailed to the steps securely, exactly as
far apart as the wheels of the car
rage. They were cut to fit the top
of the step and the walk smoothly.
Down this track the heavy carriage
with baby in it rolls as easily as on
the sidewalk. The boards are painted
to match the step and are not at all
unsightly.

Malcolm drummed ON the desk with

SYNOPSIS

Graves, a New York lawyer, takes q
trip to Denboro, Cape Cod, to find Captain
Elisha Warren. uncle of two recently made
orphans. Elisha, though long estranged
from his deceased brother, has been ap-
pointed guardian of the children.
Graves visits the captains bachelor
home and informs him Of his brothers
decease and of his guardianship.
The captain, surprised, hesitates about
accepting the trust. The two orphans,
Caroline and Stephen, in New York, hope
their unknown uncle will not accept.
Mrs. Corcoran Dunn and her son Nal
colin, interested in Caroline, call. Cap
tain Elisha arrives and is colby received
by all.
The Dunns sneer at the captain and his
blunt ways. The wards, brought up in a
conventional way, are much mortified.
The captain makes friends with a young
reporter, James Pearson; then he con-
suits with Sylvester, head of Graves firm.

In the hall as they waited for the

at any time since his arrival in New
York, clapped his friend on the Shout

he added this postscript:

U. $. PAPER MILL FAVORED,

Washington.-The establishment of a
government paper mill is recommended
by subcommittee of the joint commit
tee on printing of congress. 1t is stated
that the government uses 30,000,000.
pounds of paper annually and that the
difficulties encountered in securing pa
per promptly at reasonable prices should
cause immediate consideration to the es-
tablishment of government owned
plant.
Such mill,'' the committee continues,
"wll afford facilities for the CONNER
cial demonstration of the value of
wastes of all kinds for paper making
on which materials the government has
spent considerable sums annually, and
with which demonstration on a CONNER
cial scale is possible. Again, a govern
ment plant will furnish unlimited oppor-
tunities for studies in the commercial
utilization and disposal of paper mill
wastes. These wastes embrace at least
half of the raw materials used in max
ing paper, and are menace to the pub
lie health as well as a detriment to in
dustrial development"

MINES YIELD $3,OOO,OOO,OOO.

Washington.-The claim that immigra-
ton restriction will affect production in
America is refuted by the report of the
geological survey for the year 1916,
which shows that all records have been
broken during this period despite the
lessening of emigration because of the
European war. Production, it is esti-
mated, has run at least 25 per cent ahead
of 1915. Iron contends with copper for
first place among the metals produced
and the production of coal was the
greatest ever known. The mines sold
597, 100000 tons, compared with 57O,O0O,-

prior to the European war. The coke
output, also, broke all records, increas-
ing 27 per cent over the previous year.

Michigan next. The profits in this met
al were the greatest ever known.

DEFENDS ADAMSON LAW,

lndianapois.-Editor Dobson, of the
Bricklayer, Mason and Plasterer, pre-
sents this defense and explanation of the
Adamson law:
First of all, it is not wage-increase
law. Its operation gives the railroad
wor ker the opportunity to complete his
days labor in eight hours because he
can make his hundred-mile or less run
within the prescribed number of hours by
reason of the fact that the railroad COM
panies will cut down abnormally long
freight trains to such size that dozen
instead of one-half that number of miles
are made an hour. This is all the rail-
road worker asks. He does not want
long hours and delays en- route; neither
does he want overtime pay, except only
as penalty to put a stop to the prac-
tice of piling on all the cars an engine
can draw under favorable conditions.

erative the railroad train service work.

UNIONISM NEEDED HERE.

Fort Worth, TeX-In his monthly re-
port President Cunningham of the state
federation of labor makes the following
reference to lumber conditions in the
eastern part of this state:
while in Orange | learned of a con-
dition existing in the lumber camps that
is deplorable, to say the least. The un-
skilled laborers in that industry have
not had an advance in wages nor a
change in hours of labor or conditions
of employment in 25 years, and yet we
are told the lumber interests are max
ing no profits or dividends. The public
knows how the price of lumber has in
creased during this period, Surely it
was not the high price of labor that in
creased the price of this commodity"

The cement workers formed union
to end the II and 13-hour workday. The
company discharged the unions officials
and strike resulted. The strikers de-
clare that working in cement mill is a

when an eight-hour day prevails, but
