The Way Out.

The allies realize Il takes time for a
democratic nation such as America 10
pull itself together and get into war har-
ness.
We cannot Immediately send shiploads
of aeroplanes, munitions and trained
men.
But we can send the allies shiploads of
wheat. To save wheat requires no ma
chinery, no long months Of training. All
/ that is necessary is the Willingness 10
eat something else in its place.
/ The allies are fighting and dying for
us. willing and ready TO bear the full
/ brunt of the war until we can prepare
ourselves 60 shoulder our share of the
! burden. All that they ask Is that we
should sustain their bodies while they do
this.
Ii is inconceivable under the circum.
stances that we should be unwilling to
give them our wheat-yes, to the last
pound ii necessary. Certainly we can
get along without wheat pastry and des-
serts and as for wheat bread, we can
get along without this, too, by eating
corn, barley, buckwheat or rice, hot
breads for one meal day, and the other
meals eating more of rice, hominy and
potatoes in place of a part OF the ordi-
nary amount of wheat bread.
Especially does the latter vegetable
offer way out" Give your family
plenty of potatoes and let them go with
out bread entirely
But my family will get tired of so
many potatoes" you say.
There is no need of this complaint, for
there are hundreds of ways to disguise
the humble potato, which can play such
big part in winning the war If we will
only let it.
The following are but two out of the
hundreds
