Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the Uody In a state of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes, especially when com
btned with an added portion Of oil on
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived On
parched corn alone for many days at q
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
over before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumsrA
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.

Corn has again come to the front In

Corn meal is finding greatly increas-

bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread This
kind of mixture is worked and ba ked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread-using corn meal entire

The letter. which was written Sept.

and on our way to another. When we
hit the last line the Germans. pulled
out, leaving everything--that is the
lucky ones pulled out-but there were
lots who were not so lucky. 1t looks
as tho there was a prisoner or dead
German for every man in the army.

to get this time.
"One town we took had lot OF
French women who had been prisoners
for four years. They were laughing
and crying all at once. and diun't know
what TO think of us. as some of them
didn't even know we were in the war.
The Germans had concrete dugouts
with hunks, and some OF them even
had electric lights in them. They were
sure fixed TO stay. and some of them
did. but they had to be covered up, so
we could stay with them"

home for four years. Mr.. Bence was
born near Richfield, Wis, Aug. 20,
1880. He was united in marriage with
Miss Rosanna Kolb, at Reinbeck. in

ROLAND oPPIcE WOUNDED.
Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Oppic'
Cables Casualty Home.

Wounded: recuperating fast. Don
worry. Love. Oppice."
Such was the cablegram received
this morning by Frank ". Oppice
from his son. Roland Oppice, mem
Der of Company II, s2sth infantry,
dated at Beaune, France.
II Is taken from the fact that young
Oppice directed that a cable be sent
his parents that he feared if his name
were included in Il casualty list sent
out by the war department, the shock
would prove too severe upon his
mother. and that by cabling his own
casualty. and showing that he was re-
covering nicely. he could assure his
mother that there was nothing to
worry over.
The city OF Beaune. which is in the
department Of Cote dor. is in eastern
France. twenty four miles southwest
of Dion. the capital of the province.
The town is noted in France for its
celebrated old hospital, which remains
almost precisely as when completed IN
l443. Beaune is in the quiet sector. and
It is more than likely that Oppice has
been sent to this famous old hospital.
or another hospital in the city, to re-
cuperate from his wounds.
The last word from young Opptce by
his parents was letter received Sept.
70. when his regiment which Is at
tached TO the Eighty-second division,
was in the thick of the fighting. Oppice
at that time had been assigned TO
unit of shock troops which take the
brunt OF the fighting in the beginning
of an offensive or an onslaught.
