Boys and Girls Fall Gardens.

The war garden should not be neg
lected during the later part Of the sea-
son. Keep every foot of ground pro-
ducing vegetables until frosts end the
growing season.
In the northern states there is still
time to plant turnips. spinach, kale,
radishes. lettuce, and beets, while in
the middle South there is still time to
plant all these crops as well Us string
beans and peas. In the lower South
now is the time to plan for good fall
garden. In many sections Of the South
spinach, kale, lettuce, beets and SINH
lar crops may be planted at any time
during the fall for use during the win
ter, as the climate is such that they
will continue to grow throughout the
winter Potato-onion sets may be put
out in the fall in almost all sections Of
the country.

ANOTHER WAY TO
Save our WHEAT
Rolled Oats May Be Ground at
Home With Food Chopper
or Hand Mill.
USED As BREAKFAST CEREAL
For Making Bread and Cakes It ls
Best to Combine With Fine FIours
Recipes Given Have Been
Thoroughly Tested.

Rolled oats have long been used as
breakfast cereal in American homes,
but the use of the ground rolled oats
in place of wheat flour In bread and
cake making is new to some people.
Oats -four is procurable In some mar
kets, but in most Cases it does not
differ materially from that made in
the home by grinding the rolled oats
in hand mill or through fooG
chopper.
Since oats flour is more granular
than wheat flour, better texture can
be obtained by using it in com5ina-
ton with one of the finer flours, such
as rice -four, potato flour, or corn
flour The quick breads and yeast
breads as well as the cakes and
cookies made from the ground rolled
oats have an excellent flavor.
Either the home-ground rolled oats
or the commercial flour may be used
in the recipes that follow. If you have
fayorite recipes of your own, use
them, substituting one and one-eighth
cupfuls of the ground rolled oats for
one cupful of wheat flour. The
recipes given here have been tested
in the experimental kitchen Of the
department of agriculture, office Of
home economics, and Of the home
conservation division of the United
States food administration.

OATMEAL OUTPUT GROWS

Practically the entire output
of oatmeal and rolled oats in the Z
United States is produced by II
mills. During the last seven
years there was a moderate
. and regular increase in the size
Of the business until 1917, when
the output Of these mills in
creased GA per cent over the
previous year. The total output
in 1917 was more than double
that of 1914 and almost three
times as large as the 1911 pro-
duction. Even with the large
increase in 1917, however. the
amount Of oats used for human
food Is still only about 3 per
cent Of the entire oat crop.

"Ten America that without her gem

Albert, of Belgium, to the American
people through Representative Fred

night before the National Geographic
Society, described his visit with other
members OF Congress to the battle
front in France.

Hicks, and he Is every inch a king.
He told me that his kingdom was re-
dueed by the ravages Of war to an
area Of six miles square, but as long
as there was a Belgian left alive they
would fight for the freedom Of their
country"

and no! They have no complaint to
