CORN BREAD AS USUAL.

4. The food administration has found
it necessary to remind the public that
our wheat crop, though much larger
this year, is not large enough to make
wheat conservation unnecessary. 1t
wants particularly to impress on the
minds of housewives the fact that the
problem is not solved completely and
automatically by the mere adoption Of
victory bread, made of so per cent
wheat flour and 20 per cent of o,her
cereals.
Victory bread is not expected to
displace the large use of corn to
which we have accustomed ourselves.
1t is only by the continued liberal con
sumption Of corn bread. corn cakes
corn mullins, etc, that we can make
the wheat supply go around among
the 220 100000 people who have to
share it, and at the same time pile
up moderate surplus to guard against
possible famine next year

1t is an indisputable fact that people
can keep healthy and well in no better

then they fall victims to feyers and nj!

The only way to keep thoroughly well
is to drink plenty of water daily, battle
frequently and take some good laxa-

merce committee, reporting favor
ably on the administration railroad
bills. estimated the measure of
guarantees annually at $945, 100000

The committee believes the rail
roads will accept it "as just and

right" Cummins and La Toilette

of the opinion this is the time for

not a time to settle many contro

future of the transportation policy
He explained that in case of con

THE intimate union of the throne
and the people, which ! received as
a sacred heritage from my father,
dates from the hard times by which
Prussia was trained for its world
historic mission. May these hard
years of strenuousness, which |
feel more deply in consequence Of
the responsibility placed upon me
by God, strengthen and deepen this
intimate relationship so that it may
stand the test in the battles which
sill lie before us in the great task
which, after victorious peace, we
shall have to fulfill in an altered
world
