IN ACCORD IN WAR

TOXIC, February 1.-Viscount Moth
no, the Japanese Foreign Minister,
In his speech in both Houses of Parlia-
ment on Tuesday night annouced that
the members of the japanese mission
recently in America had, after a frank
exchange of views, established a full,
mutual accord between Japan and the
'nlted States in regard to military
cooperation in te war.
Being convinced of the sincerity
of our determination to maintain and
safeguard the independence of China
and the integrity of Chinese territory, +"
he said, "the American government
gave recognition of the special Japa-
Gese position in regard to China. Of
fetal notes were exchanged between
tie two gevrnments. Japan and
America may well feel qualification
at this out cine of the negotiations, be-
cause it demonstrates that the rela-
tons, which already were cordial, have
been cemented more closely"

MADE N.GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
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 a 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
emit Bit by bit they dlssipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
Of food control.
at lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

GERMANS PROTEST
AGAINST LIVING ON
SUBSTITUTE FOODS

AMSTERDAM, February 1.-The al
most complete lack of nourishment
in many of the food substitutes" now
being sold in German is arousing a
storm of warning from German
scientists, who declare that govern
rnent supervision of the whole substi-
tute to food tre Lie is an immediate ne
cessity. Pofessor Juckenack of the
University of Berlin, writing in the
Vossische Zeitung, says:
"It is useless any longer to hide the
truth Unless the government inter-
venes to put some control over the
flood of substitute foods with which
We are overwhelmed, the end of the
war will soon see the end of the third
of Germanys population Moreover,
the remaining two-thirds will be so
nfeebled from malnutrition that they
will be unable to perform the immense
tasks of recuperation and restoration.
"The devil alone knows what are
the ingredients of thousands of these
wretched substitutes that already do
duty for butter and eggs, oil and
milk, flour and spirits meat and broth,
coffee and sugar, tobacco and tea,
fish and sausage, cheese and caviar
and SO on without end.
"The latest products of the ingenious
substitute-mongers are really too terri
BILE to be tolerated. A preparation OF
crude kerosene is now being largely
sold as frying oil, and 500 cases OF
serious illness together with nine
deaths have been traced to its use
in Berlin alone. A preparation call
ed goose dripping is prepared from
dogs fat; egg substitute form mix
ture of chalk and baking powder
caviar from fish scales, and bread
from straw What people, no matter
how patriotic, can hold out such
fare?"

CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACY'SW WAR
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 8,000,0O0,O00 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are. beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In a 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
is 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 colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served as
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
-four 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 a greater popularity
tnan ever before. housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat. saved insAmerica means pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war. T..
There are a score of Germ 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
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.
