And Americas women. under the
guidance OF United states Food Ad-
ministrator Herbert D. Hoover. are as
suming the burden OF food saving. The
mothers OF the nation have been
called to help save meat. wheat, sug-
ar. fats-those vital, compact foods
which will ship over there" and
which can be stored until they are
needed by the American army over
seas and the army of the allies.
There is only one way to save
these vital foodstufis for our soldiers,
and that is by using substitute which
are plentiful. easily obtained and
which furnish to the great army be
hind the lines. including you and you
all the essential food elements, and
which cannot be shipped abroad
All bakeries have been ordered by
the Food Administration to use TWEEN
ty-five per cent OF corn flour, corn
meal. barley flour. barley meal. oat-
meal. rice or other substitutes in all
the bread and rolls that they make.
The administration has also ordered
that every -etailer who sells wheat
flour must sell an equal amount-in
weight - of substitutes for wheat
These substitute are many. They
include corn flour corn meal. edible
corn starch. hominy. corn grits, bar
ley flour. rolled oats. oatmeal, rice.
rice flour. potato flour, milo, kaffir.
soys bean flour. peanut flour and 9th
er similar flours which cannot be pur-
chased in Colorado at the present
time
The women Of the nation are al
ready earnestly seeking to do their
part in this. our great struggle for the
maintenance OF our national ideals.
wrote President Wilson in "a letter TO
Herbert Hoover and in no direction
can they so greatly assist as by en-
listing in the service OF the Food Ad-
ministration and cheerfully accepting
its direction and advice
II is to the women that America
naturally looks for help in increasing
the surplus OF food ayaliaDIe Ior our
army and for exports TO the allies; to
them must come the duty Of eliminat-
ing waste and observing strict econ
omy in consumption so that our sol
diers and the soldiers OF the alice
may be fed 1t is the women who pur-
chase and handle the food OF the ma
tion. who must make the food saving
campaign successful by the use of sub
stitutes
Mothers of Colorado have not failed
their country They have saved. have
complied with the requests of the food
administrator in regard to foods but
to some women who have been ac-
customed to use all kinds of food at
all times. the use OF substitutes Is
often very difficult. cause this
newspaper has realized this difficulty,
arrangcn euts have been maze with
the Colorado Food Administered on. 10
have Sarah stone, who knows the
why's and wheTe'OIes OF iOJu SAVING
and the ways and means OF substitut-
ing. furnish tested substitute recipes.
