COUNTY WAR WORK

IN the capacity OF demonstration agent
in this county for the purpose of con-
servation of foods, has her office in
the same building as that of the Mara
thon County Council of Defense, at
21O Jefferson street. She will be
III her office on Mondays from $50
o'clock until 4:30 o'clock, ard on
Saturdays from $50 o'clock until the
noon hour. Miss Brady is very anx-
ious that the women of the county
call on her when they come to town, |
and especially when they are in need
of war recipes or information on war
foods. She will also be glad to send
recipes to the women of Marathon
county, if they will notify her in some
way. The county agent is very de-
slrous of getting in touch with the
women of the county as soon as pos
sible, so that she may be able to be
of some assistance in helping them
with the war substitutes and cooking
in general these days, which is found
very complicated due to the necessity
of food conservation during these war
times.
From time to time recipes, which
have been tested and approved by
Miss Brady, will be published in this
paper. She has on hand at the present
time great many recipes, which have
very little or no wheat -four, which
she will be very glad to get into the
homes of Marathon county, because of
the desire of the people to save wheat
| wherever possible. Sheets of bread
| recipes and sheets of potato recipes
have been printed, and enough have
hppn cotton hof oh in,
the county can be supplied with a
sheet of each. These are being dis
tributed to the stores throughout Mar
athon county, and it is hoped that the
patrons of these stores will ask for
| the recipes, If they have not already
received the same.
The following bread recipes have
just been received from the state lea
der in home demonstration work, and
| will be great help to housekeepers
because they conserve 500 of wheat

Rolled oats may be ground in a food
grinder and used instead of oat -four.
AS all grades of -four do not absorb
the same amounts OF moisture, it may
be that the amount of -four will vary
slightly, but all war breads, with the
exception of potato bread, should be
kneaded to the same degree of stiff
ness as ordinary wheat bread.
Less yeast may be used if sponge
is set the preceding night, or if a
longer time is allowed for the first
rising. If the sponge is set over night
one cake of yeast foam may be used
for four (4) loaves Of bread.
Mashed potato may be added to any
yeast bread, to the amount of one cup
to one loaf. In using mashed potato
in breads, remove one-half cup liquid
from recipe for every cup of potato
used
