Baking Wit, Wheat Savers.

Wheat saving need not involve hard
ship. Nor is there danger of hunger
for lack of bread. Abundant crops of
other cereals are available to mix with
wheat -four in making palatable and
nutritious breads. If every housewife
would use some substitute for wheat
flour in whatever bread, biscuits, pas
try, and so on she prepares, the ueces-
sary saving in wheat would be accom-
plished. In Farmers Bulletin 800 of
the department of agriculture. COM
plete directions are given for making
bread, biscuits, mullins, cookies and
various kinds of pastry in which wheat
flour substitutes are used.
In yeast bread as much as % per
cent -four or meal from other grains
or from dried peas, beans, potatoes,
nuts, and so on may well be used, the
publication says, and as much as 90
per cent in "quick' or hot breads pro-
duces articles excellent in flavor and
attractive in appearance. 1t is moi
necessary to use these substitutes
always in the form of flour or meal
The use of boiled or baked potatoes
| cornmeal mush, cooked rice, and SO
on, all produce breads which compare
well with those made from the CORE

ables the housewife to make good USE

Millions of Bushels of Good Food

Sumed Quickly.

Some Menus Worked Out by Experts
Without Allowing Them to Be-
come Monotonous-others Are
Easily o~btainabIe.

Do you know that there r mil
lions of bushels of potatoes in the
United States in excess of the usual
supply at this time of year, and that,
unless people generally eat more pota-
toes than they ordinarily do, millions
of bushels of good food will be lost
at a time when nearly the whole world
is suffering for food? Potatoes are
bulky and heavy and cannot well be
transported over seas. The United
States must eat its own potatoes and
release other foods for export.
Eating potatoes every day is a duty
and eating potatoes every meal can
be made a pleasure. Following are
some recipes, worked u by the cook
ing experts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, covering
every meal for two days. Similar
recipes, both economical and palatable,
have been worked out covering every
meal for a week.
For breakfast:

quarter teaspoonful celery salt in five

onion and add the milk slowly to the
potatoes. Mix one and One-half table,
spoonfuls corn starch, n and One-half
t~easpoonfuls salt, and a little cayenne
pepper to a thin paste with two table
spoonfuls cold milk. Stir this mixture
into the boiling soup. Continue to boil

For dinner:
Stuffed Potatoes.
Bake potatoes in a hot oven for
about As minutes, or until soft. Cut a
slice from the side of each and scrape
out the inside. Mash this and season
with salt and pepper. Add enough
heated milk to bring to the consist
ency of ordinary mashed potatoes.
When partly cooled add egg. This
may be leftover whites or yolks or
whole eggs, well beaten. Add not
more than one egg to six medlum-sized
potatoes. Refill the skins, brush with
melted fat, and put back in the oven
for 5 or 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Substitutes for Sugar.

Satisfactory substitutes for sugar
may be used to a much larger extent.
These include sorghum, corn and cane
strip, maple sugar and strip. and
honey. The maple strip and sugar
production can and should be in
creased In those areas in which maple
trees are growing in sufficient numbers
to warrant the expenditure of the nee
S time and labor. Maple strip
and sugar are produced in 10 states,
the annual output exceeding 14,OOO,OOO
pounds Of sugar and 100000 gallons
of strip. These figures can be In
creased. The production of sorghum
strip in 1917 exceeded that in 1916 by
nearly 100000 gallons. Sorghum
strip may be produced in nearly every
state In the Union. An increased pro-
duction OF sorghum strip will enable
the public still further to conserve the
