SUBSTITUTE FOR
FLOUR IN SOUTH

Washington, D. c., July 8.-The
South has at its command a variety
of foodstuffs which can be used to ex-
cellent advantage as part substitutes
for wheat -four in making bread and
biscuits. Housewives are urged by
specialists in the United States de-
partment of agriculture to try some
of these in their bread making. Not
only will they be able to effect a
saving in household expenses, but by
reducing in the South the consump-
ton of wheat flour brought in from
other sections of the country, they
will be helping materially to leave the
railroads freer to transport necessi-
ties.
Among the wheat -four substitutes
recommended by specialists for the
South are soy beans and peanuts.
Soy beans and peanuts are ex-
tremely rich in protein and fat,
Flour prepared from either of them,
when mixed with white flour in the
proportion of to 8, is we'll adapted
to make a nutritious bread. Bread
made from white -four alone contains
less than 9 per cent protein and only
about 0.3 per cent of salt-free ash,
while bread made from soy bean and
wheat -four contains about Il per
cent protein and 1 per cent salt-free
ash. Bread made from peanut and
wheat -four mixture contains about
II per cent protein and about O.62
per cent salt-free ash. Thus It is
seen that even when only part of
these substitutes is mixed with 8
parts of white -four the resultant
bread is about 40 TO 80 per cent
richer in protein and about so to 109
per cent richer in mineral ingre-
dients other than salt.
As each person, it is calculated
consumes about ga of a barrel OF
flour year, and as the population of
the Southern states is approximately
30,000,000, it is obvious that the gen.
eral use of these wheat -four substi.
tutes would result in a marked re.
| duction in the total quantity OF
| wheat -four consumed in the South.

FAKE PRIEST IS
HEAVILY PUNISHED

Orleans, France July S.-A soldier
named Taillebois, has been sentenced
by court martial to a years imprison-
ment and 250 francs fine for imper-
sonating a Catholic priest and swim
ding Catholics.
Taillebois is not a Catholic himself.
He assumed the name of Father
Henry, gained the confidence of a
number of priests and parishoners of
Orleans, heard confessions, admins
tered communion in many communes,
all the while receiving money for
masses and for charitable objects. His
downfall came from an attempt to
preach in a church at st. Jean le
Blanc. The cure of the commune
found his doctrine was not altogether
Catholic and asked for information
regarding the wandering priest from
Monseigneur Gibnier, bishop of Yer
sailles, who exposed the swindle.

To SELL BUTTONS
FOR BENEFIT Of
FRENCH ORPHANS

Mayor Johnson Saturday morning
issued a proclamation designating
next Saturday, July IA, as French
War Orphan Day, and on that date
committee of ladies will appear on
the streets and offer for sale buttons,
the receipts from such sales to be ap-
piled to fund for the relief of the
French war orphans. This is in line
with letter received by Mrs. J. S.
McGaughey from the headquarters
of the American Society for the Re-
lief of the French War Orphons, with
offices at Atlanta for the South.
This letter states that more than
100000 children in France have lost
their fathers fighting for our ideals,
and they are in urgent need of help.
During our revolutionary war the
French people helped us generously,
unselfishly, self-sacrifcingly. 1t is
now Americas opportunity TO meet
the test Of gratitude. We
will let feel to France that we have
the intention to show our gratitude
and will contribute by buying but
ton on this day. We are sure that
you will help US in this noble work
and will form a committee in your
city to take charge of this day.
Please be so kind as to start at once
the formation of your committee Of
young ladies and girls, who will give
their time and heart to this noble
cause. Please let US know at once if
you wish to take the Craftsmanship of
this committee, and we would be very
honored if you will do so. Your sale
of thehe buttons would help to feed
the 100000 orphans of France"
Mrs. McGaughey has accepted the
craftsmanship of this committee and
will shortly announce plans of work
next Saturday when it is proposed
to offer the buttons for sale on the
streets, offices, stores, ETC., to all
who care to aid however small in this
great endeavor.
Calling the attention Of Mayor
Johnson to the proposed plans, the
chief executive Saturday issued the
following.

Whereas, more than three hundred
thousand children in the French re-
public have lost their fathers night
