SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan OF seizing foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly TO issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs. and theirs alone.

WAR BREAD COSTLY To
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $500, 0O0, 900 toward the cost Of
that nations war bread. That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. Incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken v e. all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought In markets Of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the a~dulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for 5 cents
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more -four is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is a COM
pulsory adulteration Of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration Of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about IS per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger extrac-
ton. the four pound loaf sells for 16
cents.

BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock RsIsers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
~ssrvatlon Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
Of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually ~safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 2,400, 900 acres of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pa~sturage and hay lands.
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
S17.7e per hundred pounds; October,
$17.2S; November and December,
s1608, and for January, s14.40. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
q total of 1884, 900 as compared with
14,S07,0O 0 in 1913. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our fiocks and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show a disposition
TO cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years 1t has been a prac-
tice among many Of the dairy people
Of this country to kill male calves at
birth and In many instances the fe-
males II not needed TO replenish their
herds rather than 20 to the expense of

continuance OF this killing. Another
encouraging fact is rs per cent of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning hat bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
in war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under a recent order one-fourth
OF the hogs were ordered to be killed.
II is estimated that one-half have now
been killed

WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD

Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat -four
alone. Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed -four
bread, and in so doing are enabling
America to provide nor wheat -four
for the allies. Here's a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and a half
cups of milk, water or a mixture of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt,
n tablespoon sugar, n tablespoon
of fat II desired, n cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat -four.
Put one and a half cups of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat (tf
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water is suffi-
cient only to soften the meal a little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
-four and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place In pan Of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake As or 30 min
utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage OF cornmeal than
this even In emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and In sucn a case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
II is possible TO make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case net more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuls of -four. In other re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
as In the above recipe

and we got out to eat our meals. At

1t made you feel good to think you

1t was not only what they did, but

Then we heard some singing. and pref

After we were rested up we were

To keep the liver and bowels regular
