TIMIGL SUGGESTIONS ON
THE PROPoRTIONATE USE
OF SUBSTITUTE FLOURs

Every housewife knows by this time
that it is her patriotic duty to ave
wheat. She knows the why Of
know more about. is the chow"
Must 1 tear. up all my old and
faithful bread recipes and learn all
over again?" she asks gropingly.
Not at all. But every housewife
who would bake good war bread
should study and know well the best
combinations of substitute f1ours and
the quantity necessary to use for the
amount of wheat flour called for in
her old recipe.
1t isyjust such problems as these
that the experimental kitchen Of the
food administration and department
of agriculture are constantly working
out. This information is then passed
on to the country's housewives.
To mix two of the substitute flours
has been found to give better results
than to use any of them alone.
For instance, rolled oats or barley
flour or buckwheat -four or peanut
flour or soy bean -four combined with
corn flour or rice flour or potato flour
or sweet potato -four or cornmeal is
better than anyone of these by itself.
The substitute flours vary in weight
and where your old recipe calls for
two cups Of flour do not think that
you can therefore g one cup Of one
of the substitutes and one cup of an
other and have the same consistency
of bread dough as with the two cup
of wheat -four. The following table
will show the fractional amounts OF
these various substitute flours requir-
ed to equal one cup Of wheat -four:
Barley, 1 3-8 cups; 7-8
cup; corn flour, 1 cup (scant); corn
meal (coarse). 7-s cup; cornmeal
(fne), 1. cup (scant): corn starch, ga
cup; peanut flour, 1 cup (scant); po-
tato -four, ga cup; rice flour, 7-S cup;
rolled oats, 1 1-2 cups; rolled oats
(ground in meat chopper), 1 1-S cup;
soy bean flour, 7-8 cup; sweet potato
f1our,n 1 1-8 cups.
Decide first what two substitutes
you are going to use, look at your
table, and determine the equivalent
amounts necessary and then divide
this accordingly. For instance, if for
two cups of wheat flour. as the old
recipe reads, you are using barley
flour and corn -four you would use one
and three-eights cups Of the barley
flour and one scant cup of the corr
-four.
Even with these equivalents deter.
mined as closely as possible the batter
will often look too thick or too thin
But do not be discouraged for if YOU
have measured accurately the result
after baking will be a successful wal

Fourth of July
May Haze a
New Significance

From the Chicago committee of the
%fatherless children of France comes
this timely little communication. 1t
will undoubtedly be Of interest to
many persons in North Dakota who
have been. interested in the French
orphans, through. the Grand Forks
committee, which has done successful
work during the last year., and to 9TH
ers who are thinking of adopting a
French child.
jacques stood in the shadow Of a
poplar by the long white road that
wound away from the village far over
the hills to the north. From behind
those hills the, little French boy could
hear the mutter of distant firing.
1t was a year ago that Jacques had
wavd his chubby hand at the broad
back Of Papa swinging. along the road
the hill Papa had turned to fling back
the cheeriest sort of au'voir so that
Jacques would know very we'll that
soon Papa would be coming home
again.
Summer with its panorama of
singing men marching north and
broken men dragging YEARLY south
ward. Winter with snow where the
white dust lay, and now Spring again
and still Papa had not come.
To be sure. there was the letter in
the long envelope from Paris that
made Mama cry, but Jacques knew
in his heart that Mama was mistak-
en-. She had told him on that gray
day when the laundering behind the
hill was very loud that he need not go
out to his poplar any more. But what
was a woman to know Of such things?
lac no Papa promised? And then
there was the boche helmet that
Jacques was to have for his very own.
So the boy kept hopeful eyes upon
the blue hills and went regularly to
his post by the poplar despite Mama's
tears and the statement of his kindly,
gray-haired official that soon jacques
must leave his home to go to live with
other little boys in a great institution.
Try as he would to be brave, how
ever, Jacques was troubled this after
noon He would stand stiffly at salute
as new detachments went silently by.
AS they gravely acknowledged the
salute, some of the blue-clad men
figure under the poplar. He seemed
to be shaken by a sorrow that such a
child should lever know.
No, h world was not kind to
French boys whose fathers had gone
away to where the big guns were
~quarrelling.. To be sure, the old man
had said that Mama was to have ten
cents a day from the government, but
that was so little to feed and clothe a
family. And with Papa so long away
and Mama so sad and very little to
eat and nothing at all to play with, we
can hardly blame Jacques if his head
dropped a bit as he trudged away
from the poplar. For the first time
the awful thought that all these older
people might be right and that papa
the hill was having its way With him.
On all the poplar-Nned roads of
France today there are children look
ing to the north for fathers who will
never return. We a do but little to

her share to keep the line strong and
firm, the weak places which are
bound to show up will mean lack of
comfort and probably serious illness
