Children, it would have made you
happy to have heard the telephone
message we got from old Santa Claus
last night. The telephone went ting
a-ling -a-ling."
Somebody picked UP the receiver
and called hello"
Then. we heard the JoI1iest voice in
the world say, "How about my let
ters? This is Santa Claus. and l want
you to clip out my letters for me to-
night because I'm so busy I can't come
In. Hurry up!'
You ought to have seen US get busy.
for when Santa Claus says hurry" he
means It. We took our big shears and
shipped out every. one of your good
letters and pasted them in a little
book. Soon we heard horns footing
and bells jingling out of the window
and Old Santa was calling, pitch 'em
to me-
We threw them to him and he
caught them, whipped up his reindeer
and whisked away so fast he looked
like light streak across the sky.
Write your letters and send them
in so he will have time to I'LL all OF
the orders you give him.

By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

EEEDING the family with other
grains and the prolific potato to
save the wheat flour is by no
means difficult task, as glance through
the present weeks menus will demon
strate. In fact, many Of the recipes
20 per cent ratio of wheat flour are so
good that with fair trial of their
merits they will be used in preference
to the usual wheat products.
Mr.. Hoover has mildly suggested that
we use mixture of 25 per cent of
other grains with the wheat flour, but
we American housewives can easily do
far better than that. Let US find out
how really good bread can be made from
cooked oatmeal, rye and very little
wheat -four. This is an old Colonial
Of the so-called "war Breads" that may
be rather tasteless and dry.
If you have never made your own
bread before do 80 now. 1t is just as
much patriotic duty as belonging to
the Red Cross or knitting for the SOL
diers. Our wheat must go abroad; we
are one-third short on our shipment, and
half Of the shortage it is up to the Indi-
vldual hougekeeper to meet and at the
came time feed her family we'll.
Rice -four, mentioned in a number of
the recipes, can be bought at almost any
grocery; it combines particularly we'll
with many of the grains and even cake
