Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat -four

America to provide more wheat tOW

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
:: BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays 5000 100000 toward the eUst of
that nations war bread. That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than in America. incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at al arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets Of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the aduIterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the NJ pound loaf sells for s cents.
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more -four Is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is a COM
pUlsory adulteratiOn of 20 per cent.
and an allowable aduiteration of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at it's hest.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger extrac-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 16
cents.

AMERICAN SAVINGS Will
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

"We have already exported the
whole of the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de
mands Of u own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food ad
ministration to restrict export of wheat
so as TO retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our owr
people until the next harvest.
"Therefore all exports Of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume of saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption OF
wheat and wheat products.
ave continued wheat shipments fol-
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva.
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand IONS Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month of December

The American National Red Cross
has established In New York city a
school for the training of crippled men
in trades o. occupations In which they
can engage In spite of their physical
handicaps. The school Is known as

ment for the rehabilitation of crippled
soldiers and sailors.
The activities of the institute; which
is already under operation, include an
employment bureau for cripples, indus

He saw a dark line of blue on the edge
of a wood behind earthworks. With
the Confederate line of battle he
moved toward it. Suddenly a storm
burst in his face. He felt himself
collapse and sank down on the ground.
His companions in arms went on,
but were soon driven back and over
him, leaving him there with a stream
of blood flowing from his side.
Later he was picked up by a federal

The Comforter
A Story Of President Lincoln
Founded on Fact
BY F. A. mitchell

When the great struggle between
the Northern and Southern states
came on Allan Fitz Hugh, twelve
years old, was at school in Virginia.
He was a boy Of delicate physique, but
was full of fire, and, hearing that
Abraham Lincoln was coming south
ward at the head of an armed force,
was much troubled because he was too
young to shoulder a musket and re-
pei the invader. He found it difficult
during those exciting times to attend
to his studies, and had it not been for
the influence Of his mother, whom
he dearly loved, he could not have
been kept at school at all.
In those days the passion attending
war ran high on both sides. The
songs, the gibes, the speeches and
what was written concerning the great
struggle were very bitter and usually
far from the truth. In the North 1t
was "We'Il hang jeff Davis on a sour
apple tree and in the South Presi-
dent Lincoln was called "the baboon."
The Northern schoolboy conceived the
idea that President Davis was an ogre.
not realizing that he was an educated
gentleman, had commanded a regiment
of United States troops in the war
with Mexico, had been a United States
senator and secretary of war. The
Southern schoolboy considered Presi-
dent Lincoln a wild man from the
Western woods who delighted In blood
shed. Children whose minds are not
developed must concentrate upon one
head in any movement in which they
are interested. So Allan's thoughts
dwelt upon Mr.. Lincoln, embodying
the great president with his idea of
the hated yankees"
When Allan was fifteen he begged
his mother to let him go to fight for
the Confederacy. Naturally She chung
to her son, and the matter was COM
promised between them in this wise
If the war was not over In another
year Allan was to enlist with his moth
er's consent. Many boys of his age,
both In the North and in the South,
broke away from parental restraint
and enlisted without permission. Food
for powder was in demand, and the
recruiting officers often winked at the
fact that the recruits were under age.
But Allan was his mothers only child,
and, being of an extremely affection
ate disposition, the bond between them
was doubly strong.
So Allan continued at his studies,
though he read more about the battles
that were being fought than the sub
jects treated in his textbooks. He
lived in Richmond, and at n time
had listened to the roar of the cannon
during the seven days battles that had
been fought between Lee and McClel-
Ian. His admiration for soldiers wore
away some of his bitterness against
the federal generals, but President
Lincoln was still the embodiment of
his fepugnance for the Northern peo-
ple. The two heads-Davis of the
.C~onfederacy and Lincoln of the fed
erai union-throughout the war con-
tinued to. represent the bitter antag-
onism felt by either side.
In the early spring of 1865 Allan
Fitz Hugh came to be sixteen years

scented to his doing his part to fill the
gaps in the Southern ranks made by
Northern missiles. When the time

the American Red Cross has organized
at national headquarters a Bureau of
Communication, of which William r.
Castle, Jr., formerly Assistant Dean
of Harvard College and editor of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine, Is di-
rector. This Bureau supplements in
a personal and humanitarian way the
reports of the Statistical Division of
the War Department, which gives to
relatives official notice when a soldier
is reported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally results
from the official report to relatives
that a soldier has been wounded" or
Is missing will as far as possible be
dispelled by the Bureau, which will
advise in detail the nature and extent
of the wound, and will gather evidence
from comrades in arms and at the hos
pitfalls and rest camps regarding those
reported missing"
Central Office in Paris.
Any information of interest or con-
ISOLATION to relatives thus obtained will
be transmitted to them through per-
sonal letters. Messages from the
wounded will be conveyed through
this same agency.
The information on which the Blu
reau will base it's reports is gathered
through a central office in Paris, under
the direction of e. Gerry Chadwick
of New York, aided by the Rev. Robert
Davis of Englewood, N. J., and thirty
assistants.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have to be greatly
increased.
For the present the Bureau is re-
porting on all cases that come to its
attention. However, it is probable
that with the increase of reports from
the front, information will be sent
in cases of those imprisoned or re-
ported missing"
Food For Prisoners.
There is a Red Cross service in

and Austria. In the London Office Of
the British Red Cross more than two
hundred women are constantly en-
ployed in communicating with rela-
tives of soldiers and their card index
already covers more than three mil
lion cases reported on.
The Bureau will receive'through the
International Red Cross office at
Geneva, Switzerland, the list of Amer
lean prisoners supplied officially by
the German government, In cases Of
Imprisonment the Bureau reports to
relatives, after which the case is re-
ferred to the Red Gross Bureau of
American Prisoners Relief, of which
Franklin Abbot is director.
The American Red Cross Commit
tee in Berne sends each American
prisoner, every two weeks, three ten
pound food packages. These subsist-
ent stores are provided by the govern
ment and the American Red Cross. A
Sufficient quantity of supplies is now
on the way to Switzerland to care for
10000 American prisoners for a period
of six months. This Bureau is also
the sole agency licensed by the War

American and Allied prisoners in Ger
