EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares Ii Is an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send 1t
1T the war is to go on efficiently. If
we eat it all we cannot ship it, and
the food administrati ton has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve If
they do not get it, the food administra-
tion states.
! "For the least bit Of heedlessness
on your part in food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
fer privation," an official statement
declares. "The food administration
has mastered the problem Of Ameri'
cas- food in such way that every
ounce Of food conserved and kept IN
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
"It is an absolute sin to waste food,
Food has become sacred.
"Food means life; it means some
body's life, and you cannot escape re-
sponsibility.
"There is no waste Of food among
the allied nations"

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
! BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $200,000,O00 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 over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi'
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
tvailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf Of four pounds to sell at IS cents,
The two pound loaf costs cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for cents.
In milling, however, IA per cent,
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is a COM
pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration Of 90
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger extrac.
tion, the four pound loaf sells for 16
cents.

BIG CORN CROP
is NOW MOVING
More Than 5000 Million Bushels
Raised in 1917-Gives
Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
sumption in History, Using Cereal
in Many Delicious Dishes.

Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop,
Is now moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels
30 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America-were raised in 1017.
1t was a mighty crop. The actual in
crease is about 500 million bushels.
And this extra store Of grain is COM
ing on to the market in the nick Of
time, since the American wheat sur
plus has been sent to help feed famine
threatened Europe.
Just as it happened in the Colonial
days, the War Of the Revolution, and
the Civil War, corn has actually be-
come the nations mainstay.
In the entire list of Americas food
commodities there is no item that is
better than corn. In puddings, bread,
corn pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs, corn is without a
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number of delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are benefting by an increas-
ed use Of the cereal. Corn, more than
any other cereal, contains all of the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health.
In order that the fighting men
abroad and in the army camps at home
may be fed, and in order. that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America in the war,
the citizens Of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatable
on "wheatless days" and glory in the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations in Europe.
England, France and Italy must be
fed from Americas great storehouse
They will get some corn-especially
Italy-but most of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
to use corn is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And 1t is the opinion Of officials in
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits Of
Europe. 4a ~
Americas greatest use Of corn will
be in the form of corn bread and corn
meal, mixed with wheat in the making
Of leavened bread. " t}
Mixed with 80 per cent. wheat flour,
corn meal can be used in bread max
ing, producing a loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone.
1t is a fact corn millers will verify
that dozens Of the large American bak-
ers have been successfully using corn
flour in bread making for several
years.
Hominy grits, served at breakfast
with a poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy, Is an
other use of corn that will become un-
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten. corn cakes,
and corn Oil for use in all kinds Of
cooking, are two more products that
are already welcomed in thousands of
9 American homes.

spreading on the army blanket which
he took from the saddle on Rather.
He swept the floor as neatly as any
woman could have done it and laid
two wolf skins down in their places

washed and wiped his few dishes,

reach and sending an inquiring glance
toward Buck whenever that unhappy
man made the slightest movement,

make many He brought two pals OF
water and set them on the bench in
side, and in the meantime he had cook

bowl on the window sill beside his
bunk, where the air was coolest He
stropped his razor painstakingly and
shaved himself in leisurely fashion and
sent an occasional glance toward his
prisoner from the looking glass, which
made Buck swallow hard at his Ad-
ANS apple.
And Buck during all this time never
once opened his lips, except to lick his
tongue across them, and never once
took his eyes off Ward.

prove I'm not joshing."
Buck swallowed again, but he made
no reply.
Ward washed his face in basin Of
steaming water, got can of talcum
out of the dish cupboard and took the
soap shine off his cheeks and chin. He
combed his hair before the little mir
ror, trying unavailingly to take the
wave out of it with water and leaving
it more crinkly over his temples than
it had been in the first place, and re-
tied the four-in-hand under the soft
collar of his shirt.

 T can call you by that familiar name for I have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know.
 From the time that you were yet an undeveloped being in your mothers womb 1 have shaped your destiny for my own purpose.
 "In the days of Rome 1 created q roughneck known in history as Nero. He was a vulgar character and suited my purpose at that particular time.

FIGHTERS INCOMES
UNTAXED UP TO $500
Provision in Revenue Bill to
Be Reported Tomorrow.
Speeiai Despatch to The Sun.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The pay of
army and navy officers UP to the amount
of $500, is to be entirely free of tax.
Such a provision has been put into the
revenue bill, which is about ready to be
introduced. in the House. 1t is 'prac-
tically a certainty that no member of
the committee will, have the hardihood
to try to strike. this out in committee,
and when the bill Is reported Tuesday
the provision will be carried in It.
The action was taken by the commit
tee because. OF the burden of the ex-
pense on army and navy officers abroad.
While their own expenses there are paid,
practically all of them have to maintain
Adjustments in the United States. II
has been figured out by members of the
committee that exempting army and
navy income from all Federal taxes will
safe the avera ge officer of rank as high
as Major and higher than that about
$50 a year. ~.
An army officer who Is married would
have $4,000 OF his, pay exempt from the
income tax anyhow, and on the next
$500 would have TO pay the abated
rate of per cent, making his tax 500.
However. an unmarried officer receiving
as much as $500 in pay would have
an exemption of only $1,000. hence he
will be saved a 6 per cent. tax on the
balance-$2, 500-a saving of $3.50 a
year.
Rich men in the army and navy will
not benefit to any extent from exemption
OF $4,000. 1t is specifically provided that
II applies only to army pay and will
have no effect upon the balance OF the
income tax any officer may have to pay,
and upon the surtaxes, beginning at all
income above $4,000.
