british GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $20O,O0O,O0O year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

CORN Will WIN
DEM0CRACy'SWAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
Ing 3,OOO,O0O,0O0 bushels. will save the
worlds food situation, officials OF the
United States food administration be-
leve.
Corn IL the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In q state Of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors IN colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
IL reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis Of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonlsts from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use In the making OF ordinary white
bread. Hundreds Of housewives and
many OF the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind Of mixture Is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved In America means pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ-
ated In the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use In the kitchen instead Of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filed by salad oils,
IL appearing on the market in large
quantities. It comes from the germ Of
the corn.

MADE. GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C.
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
In q battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts Of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation. .
''They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential In the work
Of food control.
ut lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant ana harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate In work which Is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people vet realize"

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their hocks and
herds In order to meet Europes tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain ields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $160S; jan
larry, S1440. The effect Of these prices
was to- drive beef animals on the mar
kAt Gs soon AS noSsihIa
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,sO7 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
841,00O, a decrease Of 1853 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study OF the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
lninistration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc-
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased

MAKING MEATLEsS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there Is fer
tile field for developing new and nour.
ishing dishes, according to q. II. Miles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage OF
meat and fats viii not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and ether protein foods, or may be
served In very small portions as fla
yoring for other food. In making up

The fact that American troops are
in the trenches in Lorraine was re-
vealed by the German war Office
months ago. At that time, accord
ing to an official German announce
ment, the Americans we're on the
front at the Rhine-Marne canal,
which intersects the battle line near
the German border, due east of
Nancy. This announcement was
made in the official report from Ber-
lin of the first German raid on the
American positions, in which three
Americans were killed, five wounded
and twelve captured.

A shift of the wind cleared away
