BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-i
standing about the bread program in.
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is pooreli
bread, and the British government is
paying $500, 100000 year toward the
cost Of it.
1 All the grain grown in Great Brit
lain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adull
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at 10 cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

MAKING MEATLEss
DAYS PERMANENT.

|
| In the meatless menu there is fer
title field for developing new and nour-
Iishing dishes, according to e. II. Niles,
WRITING in the Hotel Gazette, who be-.
Ilieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
land fish on more or less permanent
basis Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a na-
.voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for investigation.
