War-HelpIno Housewife 10 Constantly
on Lookout for New Recipes for
Bread and Cakes Requiring

Every war-helping housewife, now
that greater efforts must be made to
save wheat, is on the lookout for new
recipes for breads and cakes that re-
Quire less white flour or none at all.
Perhaps these recipes will help her
solve the problem of the wheatless
meals. Many good quick breads can be
made from other fiours or meals and,
II used often, constitute a great saving

without the molasses and raisins.
If desired, an amount of grated raw

potato called for may be used, but the
resulting bread is darker and has a
more marked potato flavor than when
cooked potatoes are used.
Try this recipe for tea biscuits. No

case when all flour is used, because

TIDE OF BATTLE TURNS

WITH ALLIES FORCES TO
MEET TEUTONS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ottawa, April 3.-The following dis
patch was received here from British
headquarters in France: Yesterday
was the Quietest day since the often
sive began, excepting for the tireless
activity of our airmen, who continued
to harass the enemy along the front
and miles to the rearward. 1t should
be remembered that in consequence of
the salient the enemy have extended
their front about thirty miles and pro-
lection against attacks means drawing
largely on their reserves. The Aus
tralians are participating in the battle
in considerable numbers. The quality
of the reinforcements which have ar
rived from England is highly praised.
The comparative rest of the last few
days has recuperated our troops, who
are ready for further eventualities.
The most trying feature of sustained
operations is want of sleep. Inciden-
tally, our airmen are curtailing to the
utmost the slumber of the Germans"
Berlin.-The communication issued
by the war office Monday evening
says: There is nothing new to re-
port"
London.-The war office in its an
nouncement Tuesday evening says:
"The day passed quietly on the British
front. There was no serious fighting
on the French front" The report from
Field Marshal Haig's headquarters in
France says: Except for minor en-
terprises which we carried out in the
neighborhood of Serre and as the re-
suit of which we captured German
post, the day passed more quietly on
the whole battle front. In the sector
between the Avre and Luce rivers
Monday the British took fifty prison
ers, the war office announces. Thir-
teen machine guns were captured.
Near Hebuterne the British made a
successful stand. capturing machine
| guns and prisoners. A German coun-
ter attack was repulsed.
The fighting between the big guns
was particularly heavy between Mont
didier and Noyon, where the battle
line bends eastward, and which is a
danger spot of great Importance to the
Germans, the penetration of which by
the French would necessitate a rapid
withdrawal of the Germans eastward
from the Amiens sector.
Although the Germans have been
bombarding British positions in Bel
GUM, particularly at Passchendaele
and along the Goeberg ridge, north
east of Ypres, there is no indication as
yet that an infantry attack is contem-
plated. In addition to a continuation
of their bombardment of Paris with a
long-range gun, the Germans have
again endeavored to drop bombs on
the French capital from airplanes.
Two squadrons of aircraft early Tues
day morning attempted to reach Paris
but the French barrage held them off.
While the battle of Picardy halted
Tuesday in lull that may only fore
shadow the breaking of new and
more terrible storm, American troops
were fastening to join in the fray with
their French and British comrades.

Promised Not To Run

1t is clear from these letters that
Congressman Howard sought out our
hCnored President, brought him into
the Georgia senatorial situation, found
the President strongly favored Hon.
VIM. ]. Harris, voluntarily gave his
solemn promise that he would not be
a candidate, and broke that promise
as soon as it was given. 1t is also
clear that he deliberately let a false
account of his interview with the Pres
ident, published in a prominent Ge0r-
gia paper, go uncorrected until a cor
rection was demanded of him by the
President himself; in the face Of the
fact that the newspapers false infor-
nation must have come from Mr.. How
ard himself. 1t is also clear that the
President did not thrust himself into
the Georgia senatorial situation. 1t
is also clear that when the President
was brought in by Mr.. Howard there
was no doubt as to where the President
stood.
Read these letters which passed be-
S"SSA AAAi' AioNolu anu lSSiu0Ht WIZ
son, and then ask yourself the que5-
ton: Can vote for such a man for
Senators" If Congressman Howard
broke his promise voluntarily given to
the President and tried to deceive the
people Of Georgia as to what trans
PRED in his self-sought interview with
the President, will not the people fear
he would deceive them again? At
least the people of Georgia want a
man as their senator whom the Presi.
dent can trust. At least they want a
senator whose word and pledge, once
given. are never broken.
Mr.. Howard had a perfect right to
run for senator without consulting the
President. But he did consult the
President He found the President
for Hon. VIM. ]. Harris. because the
President had long tried Mr.. Harris
and never found him wanting. Mr..
Howard still has a right to run for
senator. But he can't claim to be

fidence or the respect of our Com.
