living. Bread is the staff of life and
we seem to be unable to get along
without it. "Try this on Your
Bread Board"
In the process of milling wheat
there is a product that is known by
a number of names, it is shipped to
Europe and sold to the poorer classes
as flour for making bread, it contains
about ten per cent less starch and
protein than white or graham flour,
but is not much below them in energy
units. We call this -four fancy white
middlings and any miller will supply
you. The cost instead of being $40
is $3.50 per cwt. Set your sponge at
night with ordinary white -four as
usual, then in the morning instead
of using white flour use the fancy
white middlings to finish your
dough, little corn meal to those who
like the corn still further improves
it, treat the same as white or graham
bread. You have here a bread that
costs you less than half as much as
your white, is more palatable to the
average person than graham and is
so little below in nourishment as to
be of no account.

landmarks of that period stood, tho

. piece Of advice which the people VIII
not be slow to follow.
Speaking generally, It has been the
practice of retail dealers in the neces-
saries of life to fix their prices on the
time.honored principle of taking all
the market will bear. But the mar.
ket" is beginning to show signs OF re-
calcitrancy. Consumers are kicking
back. and kicking hard. They are pay
ing attention to wholesale prices, and
they are discovering that in too many
instances the margin between the cost
and the price to the ultimate consumer
Is far wider than can be defended by
any principle Of justice or fair dealing.
For many consumers, however, the
situation has gone for beyond the point
where considerations OF just profit
have anything to do with the matter.
In the case Of persons with fixed in.
comes, the salaried class, the point has
long since been passed when income
Is sufficient to meet the high costs OF
living. Salaries ara VIGOROUSLY slow
In catching up with prices; mos. OF
them never do catch up. And the re-
cent revelation Of the inner conditions
governing the passage OF commodities
from the producer to the consumer
mas not been reassuring to the latter.
MIR. Hoover's warnings and exhorta.
tons, therefore, are timely and vel.
come. What the public wants about
the food situation is the truth about
supplies. costs and methods of d!stri-
button. People can then form their
