countable accidents. The flour was
warmed to 80 degrees Centigrade as
was the water in which yeast and salt
were dissolved. The entire work of
! preparing the dough and baking re-
quired three hours and thirty minutes
The loaves were baked thirty-five min
utes at a temperature of 1875 degrees
Centigrade.
One of Recipes.
One of the bakers bread recipes
used by Doctor Sayre is as follows:
8 gallons water q pounds cane sugar,
u pound corn oil, SO pounds wheat
flour, pounds corn starch flour,
ounces yeast.
1.-The commonly called corn flour is
product of the hominy industry,
said Doctor Sayre, land contains very
little nutrition. 1t consists of the
ground kernel from which the germ
! has been extracted and from which
only a part of the hull has been re-
moved. 1t contains a considerable part
of cellulose and no protein to speak
| of. Cellulose. if you happen to be
unfa niliar with the term, exists in a
| familiar form as cotton, so you can see
| celluloSe hasn't much food value, althO
eellulose in bran is an excellent aid
to digestion.
Corn starch flour. on the other
| hand, contains the carbohydrates of
the grain and very little cellulose. 1t
| has about per cent protein. The kerr
| mel is not included in either flour as
| it is separated and used to extract
the oil which has proved of such value
as a dietitic."
Doctor Sayre long has been actively
interested in corn products. He be-
! lieves corn has been neglected as a
| food and as part of various synthetic
compounds for commerce; artificial
rubber, for instance. Corn oil is used
| by many bakers instead of lard for
shortening and Doctor Sayre uses corn
oil in his kitchen in many ways, as a
salad oil and in shortening. He says
it is one of the best and cheapest
| fats to be found. Corn meal is not so
satisfactory to mix with wheat flour
as corn starch flour, altho the use of
corn meal is approved by Doctor Sayre
| when corn starch flour cannot be OBJ
| tanned

USE CORN FLOUR
1t Makes Good Bread When
Mixed With Wheat Flour.

DIR. L. E. Sayre Has Made Many
Baking Experiments.
He Gives Receipts for Using His
New Mixtures.
K. U. PROFESSORS DISCOVERY

Lawrence. Kan, April 1O.-Better
bread can be made from flour of In
dian corn and wheat than from wheat
flour alone, DIR. L. E. Sayre, dean of
the school of pharmacy in the Uni
versity of Kansas, has proved in a
series of laboratory and kitchen ex-
periments. Doctor Sayre mixed one
third corn starch with two-thirds
wheat flour and baked loaves that
were superior in quality and paltability
to loaves made entirely of wheat flour.
AS corn starch flour is 50 to SO a bar
rel cheaper than wheat flour, the saw
ing is apparent. 1t means that the
greatly reduced wheat crop can be
supplemented by corn planted this
month.
Since last November all light bread,
biscuit, pastry and even waffles made
in Doctor Sayre'S home have been of
the mixed flours. The maid simply
puts in one-fourth to one-third corn
starch flour to two-thirds or three
fourths wheat flour and makes the

OKLA. TESTS DRY LAW
is Mere Possession of Liquor a Vic
lation?-Stock Up for Droutb.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 10
Oklahoma, at least a portion of her
citizenship, is preparing for a
drouth-" Not the sort, however, that
is expected to cause a curtailment in
the production of foodstuffs or its
cotton crop, but the "drouth" which
was forecasted by the enactment by
the recent legislature of the bone
dry" law.
Express and railroad companies in
Oklahoma are handling an unprece-
denied number of liquor shipments.
| And, although the companies claim
| they are adhering to the allowance of
/ "a gallon month" sheriffs and con-
stables have seized on the opportunity
to confiscate large quantities of in
toxicating liquors.
One day last week in Oklahoma
i City alone, eight hundred and sixty
barrels and kegs of beer We're seized
and carried to the county Jail for
safekeeping. A string of moving vans
and drays were in operation through
out the day moving the liquor to safe
| quarters.
An Interpretation of the "bone dry
| is expected soon from the attorney
generals office which; it is indicated,
may serve to dissipate the general
| impression that mere possession OF
| liquor after June 6 constitutes a vio-
| latiOn of the code.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious. as it dries the scalp AMI
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
nulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this a any drug store. and

down the flour bill and at the same
time raise the standard of the bread.
The whittier and finer the flour the
more it has been Inilled and the more
it is milled the more it costs. This
milling takes out the protein and
leaves the carbohydrates. Buy a
cheaper flour that has not been milled
So much, that has the protein in it and
is darker than the so-called higher
grade flours. I use a high protein
carbohydrates depend on the cheaper
corn starch flour. We also use IL
per cent protein flour, but that is for
experimental purposes"
His Experiments Practical.
In his work Doctor Sayre mixed the
dough according to recipes used in
large bakeries, and developed the
work along practical as we'll as scien-
tific lines.
I'VE found that flour containing Il
per cent protein, and the corn starch
flour mixed in the proportion of one
third corn starch flour and two-thirds
wheat flour gives a larger loaf and in
every respect an improved loaf" said
Doctor Sayre. This corn and wheat
bread is much more nutritious than
wheat and potato flou- bread" DR.. E.
H S. Bailey, head of the department
of chemistry in the University of Kan
sas, urges substitutes for wheat flour
because the natural distribution of
food products has been so greatly in
terfered with by the war. Potato
flour he says, however, is only a
third as rich in proteins as wheat flour
and by its use the food content of the
loaf is lowered.
Corn gluten has none of the rising
qualities so characteristic of wheat
gluten and consequently has no par
ticular value alone in breadmaking.
But 10 to 40 per cent of corn starch
may be added to wheat flour in MAX
ing bread, crackers and sweet goods. u

patches of bread in his experiments

controlled so there would be no unac-

AS the climax of this story Mr..
