 laws, Miss Campbell gave a valuaf,i f demonstration of some of the substi
 tutes which might be- used in Ynakin,
 bread and Inufins and the saving O
 wheat flour.
 She stated that the housewives tasl : Tor the next few weeks is an enornou : one. According to Mr. Hoover. VI must save one-half of the nation monthly allowance of wheat. and a that amounts. to 42 600, 900 bushels. ii , means some self denial on all ou parts. But this must be done to hell
 feed our allies, and the way to 5o tl1i :: Is to learn how to use these whea substitutes, and then pass our know ledge and the recipes on to others The foreign women are willing an.
 anxious to help in this food conser
 vation, but admit that they do no
 know how to use these substitutes
 Grocers also report the ignora1fce o many of their customers in this re spect.
 There are large number of yhea
 substitutes. and if these are not use sufficiently, and with a ready respnns : from the housewives, the only sEer native will be the issuance fo brea tickets, which will positively restric everybody. The thing to do is to lear !. how to use the barley, rice, oatmea corn flakes, etc, which are to l1el take the place. of white flour. ,j The government issues little pape 2 called the Cornneal Bulletin on Whic are many delicious recipes. Tantal i, pie cornmeal fig pudding and cor lspoon bread are some of the appetiz : ing dishes contained in it's pages Bar ey flour is quite new, but a must val i. aablee substitute.
 Miss Campbell remonstrated +h : making of yeast bread, using -thir : barley flour, and giving valuable ad ? vice about its preparation. All flour 7 ;. with the exception of wheat are lack ing in gluten (which is the proteid C four). Rye and barley come neare . to wheat flour than any other substi . Itute. 1t>is wise to soak oatmeal eve night, while co1nmeal needs nor liquid than other cereals. Good rnuf fins are made out of buclwheat or bar ley flour, the latter requiring nor moisture than the ordinary recipe cal for. Corn flour may also be substj tuted for cornnleal and used for pie
 crust. Good piecrust is made by usin
 lhah white and half barley. Ther
 must be- no waste in cooked cereal
 and all the left overs may be used
 bread making. Equal quantities of cor
 meal and mashed potato make defScai
 daky muffins.
 For sweetening the Quaker oats uoi,1 lfins, Miss Campbell uses cane ,lasse
 Ia by-product of cane sugar. Delicioi
 imufins are also made from buckwhea , barieV and oaf717Aef vrl,fle. ,.<.S1 %r, sz-,
