secretion OF acid is taking place in
the stomach. cauNing the formation Of

Gas dIstends the stomach and
causes that full oppressive burning

excessive development or secretion Of
acid.
To stop or prevent the souring OF

USE WHOLE WHEAT,
EXPERTS ADVICE
One of Best AII-Around Cheap
and Nutritious Foods, Says
MIR. Vrooman.
BY CARL NROnMAN.


Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.
Whole wheat which can be bought
in the grain at seed or feed stores, is
one of the best all-around cheap and
nutritious foods in the country.
Every American home should keep
a supply of whole wheat. When
soaked for several hours and cooked
an equal length of time it makes
a delicious breakfast food. Ground
in a hand grist mill, which can be
bought for three or four dollars, it
Is equally palatable when made into
bread, or used as a cereal
II has been estimated clhat whole
wheat, cooked over night in a fire
less cooker, or cooked all day on the
back of the kitchen range, makes a
cereal costing 1-16 the price of some
OF the patent commercial breakfast
foods, and furnishes, moreover fully
equal, nourishment.
Whole wheat may be cooked with
out cracking or grinding, but it re-
quires many hours in a double boiler
to cook thoroughly. Whole wheat
ground in a hard grist mill should
be cooked at least three hours over
rAe fire, or all night in a fireless
cooker. To have the best flavor
1t should not be too moist. The
longer it is cooked the better. 1t is
possible to cook up enough for sew
eral days and warm It over as de-
sired IL whole wheat is soaked
several hours, it will not need to be
cooked so long.
The Bureau of Chemistry has
worked out a recipe for bread made
primarily from home ground meal.
Two cupfuls Of wheat meal, / cup
full of white flour, IL cupfuls of
luke warm water, Il cake of COM
pressed yeast, 1 level tablespoonful
OF salt, ! level tablespoonful OF
sugar, and 1 level tablespoonful of
shortening IL desired, is the formula.
Dough of this kind has only % Of
the usual rise of white bread. 1t
should be baked slowly for three
quarters of an hour.
Every American woman should
know and use whole wheat.

ACTRESS HAS NOVEL
PLAN TODO HER BIT.
Eleanor Henry, Of "FIora Bella, "
to Test Patriotism of
Her Audiences.

Even the musical comedy heroine
of a musical comedy play has set aside
her musical comedy ambitions and de-
cided to do her bit-aIbeit 1t is a
musical comedy bit.
Every lazy woman who is hiding
behind her profession in an effort to
get away from doing active work for
her country can proflt by this story.
Eleanor Henry is playing the, lead
ing role in Flora Bella" the light
opera which is at the Belasco this
week.
She is just as busy as she can be
every. waking minute. Yet she has
found time TO line UP her abilities
and pledge herself for so many hours
a. day. Incidentally she is not much
bigger than a postage stamp. and
probably would go into hard and
unladylike fits IL she had to make
munitions.
But she has planned to help. She
is going to test out for loyalty every
single audience with which she comes
in contact between here and San
Francisco.
Her Western tour wfffbe a vefitable
pulse. feeling campaign, such as the
politicians make before elections.
to-some proper person. Also she
might be persuaded to unfold her fur
ther plan OF making other profes-
sional people do the same. And OF
how the bad places" are to be stir
red up later.
To ''Try Outv Audiences.
The opportunity to appear nightly
before large audiences OF people, all
of whom might think or feel different
ly on the, subject of war, suggested
to Miss Henry that she try out" all
of her audiences, and put their emo
tions in a book.
: 1t will read something like this:
Garden City, western Kansas-Pop-
ulation wildly enthusiastic about CO
operating in every way.

openly hostile on two occasions, Bad

"And then" opined the young lady.
I'll tell on the hostile towns. and the
will have to devise some
means OF setting the people straight
in their minds"
Don't laugh. This very simple and
seemingly useless little scheme was
as much as eight years. ago,
and has been followed and acted upon
by dignified heads of a certain gov
ernment.
Prying Miss Henry loose from the
war question to make her tell a little
bit about herself and what she has
been doing, was like taking a snail
from a rock.

SUFFS MAY WORK
WITH OTHER FORCES
Union With Progressives for
Campaign Purposes Under
Consideration.

Union OF suffrage forces with Pro-
gressives, Socialists, or Prohibition
lists for a drive in the next Presiden-
tial campaign and IN many State
campaigns loomed up as a prospect
today following the departure of Miss
Mabel Vernon of the National We-
mans party for ST. Louis to confer
with leaders at the Progressive con-
vention.
The invitation to the suffragists
was received yesterday from Mat
thew Hale and J. A. II. Hopkins, of
New Jersey. Miss Vernon, who is a
Nevada suffragist, has been promi-
nently identified here as the head of
Capitol and White. House pickets.
Officials of the National woman's
Party said today the question of
amalgamation of their party with
other political bodies will not be Sc
riously considered at the st. Louis
conference. 1t was pointed out, how
ever, that a union of forces for drives
in State campaigns and the national
campaign in 1920 is not at all un-
likely.
May Unite for Drives.
I'VE cannot at this time formulate
any definite election policy" declared
Miss Alice Paul, head of the National
Woman's party. 1T is, however, a
wise move for the political parties,
interested in liberal causes, to meet
in conference.
ut has been suggested that we
unite for work in certain sections.
cannot prophesy what we will do.
The Prohibitionists are very
strong where we are very weak,
namely throughout the Southern
States. No one knows what the next
months may bring forth"
Mrs. Robert Baker, Congressional
chairman of the National Woman's
Party, said a union OF political forces
will be a probable result OF the st.
Louis conference, to which a repre-
sentative of the party was invited.
Have Only Single Issue.
II think it highly probable that
our forces will be united for speak
ings, publicity campaigns, and even
tours in the next Presidential race"
declared Mrs. Baker
"The National Woman's Party,
however, has only one issue, that OF
suffrage, before ii. We might work
in harmony with the other political
parties, but I do not think a coali-
tion is probable at this time"
Miss Vernon will be absent from
the capital about week.

recruiting office. -
Every man who looks as IL he
should be in the navy is stopped by
the youngsters. First, they tell him
of the navy, its purpose, aims, and
ideals. For boys so young they have
adapted themselves to the
art OF securing recruits.
Should their arguments prevail. as
they frequently do, the boys escort
the prospect to the recruiting office
whore he is taken charge OF. The
boys Immediately return to their posts
to persuade others to heed the call
Of the sea- II, after talking intelli-
gently to the man, they fail to get
