Failure to produce food or failure to
properly distribute food will result in
national disaster-and loss Of the war
The food administration, under Mr..
Hoover's direction must mobilize the
food resources Of this country so that
we may supply the needs Of England,
France and Italy: so that our own army
may be properly fed. and also that our
own civil population may be- kept
from Industrial inefficiency and break
down by receiving ample food at prices
which represent the cost of production
plus only reasonable profit to those
engaged in the necessary handling Of
food. Food must go from producer to
consumer In a straight line at the least
cost Those performing necessary func-
tions In the distribution of food should
receive a reasonable pre-war profit but
no more.
The United States is n democracy at
war for the preservation Of democracy.
In democracy the burden of response
bility Is upon the people.
Firms and individuals hereafter pur-
chasing wheat fours from wholesaler
or mill must fill out an application card
showing that they are buying not moro
than 20 per cent of the quantity pur-
chased during the corresponding period
last year. Wholesalers or mills cannot
sell wheat fours without these applica-
tion cards signed by the purchaser.

Mr.. Hebberd urges that potatoes he

and recommends that they be served
with meat orders without extra charge.
He asks housewives to serve them more
in their home as a vegetable Ind use
them more literally for breadmaking.
Retailers are requested to make leaders

advertisements
BY the use of more potatoes in place
Of white bread more wheat can be re-

VICTORY BREAD.

There is no standard recipe for vie
tory bread the only requirement being
that 1t must contain not more than so
per cent wheat flour, the remaining 20
per cent being composed of corn meal
or corn flour, rice, potato -four, or other
cereals recommended by the food ad-
ministration. Victory" pies and dough-
nuts, which contain not less than one
third nom wheat flour. may be sold on
wheatless days IL the same recipes are
used throughout the week.
OF interest to housek eepers that are
doing their part in the conservation of
wheat is the bread made by Mrs Kath-
rine s. Ide, using IS per cent white
flour with oatmeal Mrs. Ide uses the
regular Fleischman yeast recipe in
making this war bread.
Mrs. George w. Seal has been expert
menting with war bread which she
makes and which Is said to he very
good. Her recipe follows: cups milk
(scalded), 8 large cups oat -four Let
stand until the oatmeal takes up the
milk and cool before adding 2 cups of
starter yeast. Beat in thoroughly and
let stand half hour before thickening
with white flour. 1t takes about cups
to thcken. Knead in the -four. Let II
rise and make into loaves as with or
dinary bread.
On exhibit in Barman's window there
has been this week loaf of bread In
which was used Is per cent soy bean
flour, 15 per cent rice flour and 20 per
cent wheat -four. AS SOY beans are 20
per cent oil the use of this flour cuts
down the use of shortening.

keepers are experimenting with the use
Of substitutes. The results of their

them by the government Mr.. Hoover
Is insisting that potatoes be substi-
tuted for part of Americas wheat -four
The following recipes and explanations
tested by the home economics depart
ment of the University of Washington
are to make easier the use of mashed
potatoes in bread pastry:
Boil the potatoes Is minutes. drain,
cover with cloth and tin cover, and ser
in a warm place to cook In the steam
until done, about 20 minutes. Put
through a ricer and beat with a spoon.
The potato contains more water than
flour, SO in substitution one-half OF
the potato bulk Is allowed for liquid and
one half for -four Potato bread Is
little darker than white -four bread, but
is is more moist and will stay fresh
longer.
POTATO VICTORY BREAD
Half yeast cake, three fourth cup OF
water, one tablespoon sugar, one tea
