Steer Clear Of Wheat.

To keep up and increase, ifpos-
sible, our present rate of wheat
expectation to the allies Ameri-
cans must cut present wheat con.
sumption one-fourth.
There are several possible ways
to do this. The simplest and
most direct, of course. is to sub.
stitute the -four or meal OF some
grain other than wheat in every
recipe used.
Potatoes, both white and sweet
and rice, when boiled, may also
be combined with flour to save a
part OF the wheat.
Whole wheat and graham flour
are not wheat savers. They are
only O differant form of wheat
-four.
Here are three wheat tless reci-
pes:
Rye and Oatmeal Mufins-Beat
together 1 egg and 1 cupful OF
sweet milk and stir into it 2 ta-
blespoonfuls Of corn syrup. Sift
together 1 cupful of rye flourand
one cupful of oatmeal and add to
the mixed meals \ teaspoonful of
salt and 3 teaspoonfulls OF bak-
ing powder. Stir the dry ingre-
dents into the beaten egg and
milk and add two tablespoonfuls
of melted fat. Heat muffin or
gem pans, grease slightly and
bake the mullins in a hot oven.
Oatmeal bread-Alix one cup.
full of scalded sweet milk with one
cupful of boiling water and pour
the liquid over one cupful OF
ground oatmeal. Allow the oats
to stand one hour and then stir
in X cupful of molasses and X tea
spoonful of salt. Dissolve half a
cake OF yeast in y cupful Of warm
water and mix IN one cupful of
wheat -four, beating thoroughly.
Allow the dough to rise, beat a.
gain, and once more allow it to
rise. Put in bpad-pans and al.
low it to rise l hour. Bake in
slow oven.
Fried corn mush and apples
To four cupfuls of boiled corn
meal mush add 2 cupfuls OF ap-
Piles chopped very fine. Mix thor.
oughly and pour in brick. shaped
bread or cake pan. Brush the
top with melted drippings and
set in a cool place. When ready
to serve cut in half.incb slices and
dip in -four, frying to "a slight
brown in vegetable fat or drip
pings. Serve with brown sugar
or syrup.-Biddy Bye.

The BREATHING SPELL.

Again has the German army
been beaten to q stand still an(
q condition established similar
to that which existed previous
to the moving out by the Ger.
man commands for an offensive
which left them in new positions
within Allied territory, bnt with
no advantage gained and with
armies badly shattered. Its very
unlikely, however, that this new
situation is to remain long un.
changed. The Germans have for.
titled themselves as best they
they eau while waiting for the
bringing up OF their heavy artil.
lery into effective positions, and
the Indications are that Germa-
ny must shortly resume offensive
operations or herself became vic.
tim to an onslaught by the Al
lies. She is so situated that she
must fight her way through
that is, she must make the at.
tempt-or prepare for a perilous
retreat. 1t is true that the Ger.
mans have been reinforced by
thousands OF troops from the
eastern front, by released Ger
man prisoners and by Bulgari-
ans, but at the same time, the
allies have been strengthened by
the coming into line of Pershing's
forces, by British and French re-
serves all coordlnated under the
command Of General Foch, and
that they are better advantaged
to meet the worst that Germany
can give them than at any pre-
vious time in the history of the
war. We may regard the pres
ent quiet as the lull which pre-
cedes the storm and furthermore
We may safely assume that the
fighting which is to come will be
even fiercer and upon a scale OF
greater desperation than that
which marked any stage in the
recent engagements, for, cut to
pieces as trey have been, the
Germans have powerful resour-
ces from which to draw and will
have re.assembled an army hard
ly less formidable than that
which they started out on the
march from Calnbrai.
The two great armies and the
country alike are now indulging
in a breathing spell. How soon
this indulgence may continue un-
interrupted remains to be seen.
1t is not worth while taking a
! ossible German retreatlnto con.
sheraton. There il nothing for
Germany to do hut fightherway
out or get whipped, and we be-
lieve we can see indications-that
the whipping is not going to be
long delayed, depending perhaps
more upon the time that the
German commanders may re-
new the fighting than upon the
probable readiness of the Allies
to undertake a sweeping move.
ment against the Germans. Ger
many's effort to break through
to Amiens is likely to mark the
supreme MOVEMENT ofthe war

WHY DO WE WIN IN EUROPE?

All the Allied world engaged in
the great combat against Prussian
control are now thrilled with the
successes that the Allies have Sc
cured. although they have come
after four years Of fighting. That
the million and a half Of American
soldiers now in Europe have
turned the tide in favor Of the
Allies is admitted practically er-
erywhere and the thanks of our
European Allies are rendered to
our own people whenever the OPP
portunity occurs. We desire,
however, to give an industrial ap-
plication to our title and at the
same time to add another proof
to the thousands that have already
been established, as to the won
derful effectiveness Of sugar in
relieving fatigue and in quickly
building up our humanity to lis
highest levels Of physical endur-
ance.
A noted sugar statistician in
New York has just reported that
our soldiers in Europe are getting
liberal rations Of sugar reaching
about 7 pounds per month per
man. May we saw that there is
no wonder that our men are
willing to cross No Mans Land,
to pluck the fuses from burning
bombs and, in fact, are willing to
take chances that half-fed and
half discouraged men would be
unwilling to take? So We may
say God bless our boys in Europe
and they are welcome to the seven
pounds Of sugar per man, al
though our home control has cut
us down to two pounds.
It was demonstrated a quarter
Of a century ago in actual expert
mentation that athletes could Sc
cure a quicker development Of
their highest abaility in efforts
that required strength. by the use
of sugar than could be done in |
any other way. The old idea that
alcohol in some Of it's phases is a
quick and desirable stimulant un-
der fatigue conditions is about ex-
ploded. It Is found first that any I
good. nutritious food will rapidly
rally the strength Of those who
are not actually sick and that a
fair amount of sugar given will
an individuals s strength
up to it's highest pitch. and do it
more quickly than any other
foodstuff of which we know.
So, while we sit at our tables
and sip our tea or coffee and miss
the usual sweetness Of these bev-
erages, we must think Of the won
derful good that sugar is doing
for our soldiers in Europe and
perhaps in the end, after adequate
investigation, we may be able not
only to utter the present common
phrase that food will win the
war, I" but then to utter that "su-
gar has won the war. LA.

impress many of the lessons
which have been prepared by ex-
perts for the guidance of all con-
cerned in food saving or prepara-

voted exclusively to Food Admin

The Food Administration conven-

and is intended to prove helpful
in bringing the people to famila-
arlze themselves with the methods
and purposes of the great war
activity whcih is organizing the
people to hel p the fighting forces
win the greatest war in history.
The principal food news of the
week was the unanimous accept
ance by the sugar producers OF
Louisiana Of the contract rendered
by the Food Administration for
the coming sugar crop. This
provides for the grading Of all
sugar. fixes the price for each
grade. the margins of profit for
each group Of handlers, and con-
trolls the distribution of the entire
output. The Government will
help to make transportation avail
able, and will so arrange the dis
trlbutlOn zones as to guarantee
that the entire Louisiana output
will be consumed within three
months, thus eliminating posi-
bilities of boarding or specu!a-
ton. 1t is also encouraging the
production Of high grades Of
syrups and molasses at the same
time as sugar, by advertising the
products nationally. Half mil
lion posters, designed by New
comb art students, end a million
recipes will be placed in desirable
hands. all over the country
Another result Of the agreement
will be the reorganization and de-
velopment Of the American Care
Growers Association into a body
in cluding all sugar interests,
even those only indirectly con-
nected with the industry, so that
there will for the first time be a
united and harmonious industry

Several Large Parties Are Scheduled to Visit Alas ka Towns During
 the Summer.

Outside Steamer Agents Think the War Will A. so Send Many Peo- y
 pie to North.

From all indications the hotels can accommodate this summer. Sev- eral large tourist parties are booked for the north this summer and out side agents believe the war in Eur ope will send a good many tourists to visit Alaska this summer.
 Efforts will be made to get the numerous members of the American Canadian Fisheries Conference, in- cluding Secretary of Commerce Will liam Redfield, to hold meeting in Juneau following or preceding tho meetings at Ketchikans and Prince Rupert.
 Hearings will be held in Juneau by government agents interested in get ting the views of Alaskans on the steamer rate question. big party of Masons is scheduled to. visit Gas tineau Channel and the Rotary Club of the Sound cities and a number of business men will make trip to Southeastern Alaska this season.
 A good many tourists are planning on making the swing around the Arctic Circle, who will tarry in Ju- neau while their boats are in port.
 The following about the tourist trade is from the Seattle Times:
 Because of the European war and the danger of travelling overseas, All aska will get greater share of the country's tourist business this year than ever before" said A. F. Zipf, traffic manager of the White Pass & Yukon Route after he had com pleted arrangements for the con- pany's annual Midnight Sun excur- sion to Fort Yukon, Dawson and the famous Klondike gold fields.
 q don't mean that there will be any record-breaking travel" said MT. Zipf, 'but larger percentage of the people in this country who are planning tourist trips for the coming summer are talking Alaska. We have had quite few inquiries from Cali fornia and the East already"
 The annual Midnight Sun excursion of the White Pass & Yukon Route will leave Seattle June 10 to June 15, assembling in Whitehorse. The special party will be limited to six ty-five persons. The tourists will leave Whitehorse on the steamboat Caska and will spend twenty-four hours in Dawson and the old Klon- dike on the return trip. They have the option of returning via Lake At lin, scenic wonderland of the north and a paradise for hunters and fish ermen, according to MT. Zipf.
 The Midnight Sun excursion will be the only special party tour run this year by the White Pass X Yu- kon Route, but the usual opportuni- ties will be offered tourists to visit Dawson, Fairbanks and Lake Atlin.
