Obeying the Law.

There seems to be a disposition
on the part of some to regard
lightly the laws relative to the
Food Control. These laws are
just as potent and mandatory as
any on the Federal statutes, and
there is an added and higher in
centive in obeying the food laws.
BY obeying the food laws you
are actively aiding in winning the
war. If there was no obligation
to obey the law from a sense of
good citizenship, the sense of pa
triotism ought to cause US to obey
the food conservation laws. But
if there be those to whom neither
good citizenship nor patriotism
has its proper appeal, there is
left the penalties of the law.

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical.
- Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens Hungry men cannot tight
at their BEST nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savngs-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare to them. BY saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above regular needs All we have to do is, to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! It is the true American
food The Indians hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent For great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Corn 1t isn't one food It's
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable It's bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar than meat eggs most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic
Corn's Infinite varety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are a few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper lunch or break
fast. Here some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread. Corn-meal molasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins. Dumplings
Biscuits. Gingerbread.
Grddle cakes Fruit gems.

HEARTY DISHES

Some weeks ago l began a

what disappointed. 1t seems as
though they have not accom-
plished what | had hoped. One
time when / was prosecuting a
bunch of young outlaws for mi
nor offenses the Justice of the
Peace trying the cases so sided
with the offenders that | felt it
my duty to tell him, in open court,
that he was either corrupt and in
collision with the outlaws or was
too cowardly to enforce the law.
Something is the matter here.
Too much indifference is shown
in regard to the vice in the COM
munity. There is a woeful lack
of indignation at its prevalence.
Put we are paying the price.
Every day the poison of the con-
taminated social atmosphere is
insiduously affecting the minds
and hearts of the pure young
girls and making their footing in
the path of rectitude more inse-
cure.
We are paying the price. All
property is depreciating and an
exodus of good citizens is threat
ened. Still we are Indifferent.
Public opinion, that dread deter.
rent to open wrong, seems to be
either dead or sleeping. At any
rate, we do not hear its Stentor
