Why Use cornmeal2

A 35-bushel yield of corn, which
crop produces more human food than
any other commonly grown on Ameri
can farms, will supply nearly $50
pounds of protein needed for flesh
building and more than 100000 units
(calories) of energy. Wherever condi-
lions are favorable for extending corn
acreage 1t is evident that considerable
addition can be made to the supply of
human food.
Let 1t be urged once again, use more
cOrnmeal. Millers should give special
attention to the preparation of corn
meal of good quality and housewives
should use increased quantities of this
nutritious and palatable product as
substitute for wheat for bread making
and other purposes. 1t is more practic-
able to increase the use of cornmeal in
this country than abroad, for our peo.
pie are familiar with corn as food,
while most European peoples are not,
though now they try to do what they
can.

Save MIX and Save Lives.

Whipped cream desserts and lots of
butter on bread mean that milk which
babies need is being Sacrificed to PAM
per adult appetites.
The childrens' bureau of the United
States department of labor is trying to
save 100000 lives of young children
during this second year of the war.
Clean milk is food babies must have
to thrive; II they are not bottle-fed
their mothers need to drink 1t for them.
With the appalling rise in the price
Of grain, and the scarcity of labor,
farmers are selling Off their cows and
not nearly SO much milk is being pro-
duced as heretofore. This in face Of
the fact that malnutrition of little chill.
dren means certain death to thousands
lives needed to replace the awful
waste of war.
In order to save whole milk, both
England and Italy have curtailed the
sale Of cream and butter. Surely every
community In the United States will
exert itself to control the price Of milk
SO that 1t may not fail to reach the
children in homes where the income Is
pitifully small, and will use the con-
tents of the morning milk bottle very
sparingly until our sick soldiers are
plentifully supplied.-By Reinette
LOvewell of the Vigilantes.

savory Meat Savers.

Beans, peas and other legumes are
especially important articles of food
nj the time because of the large
amount of protein they contain, which
makes them valuable as meat savers.
The legumes protein. however, is not n
complete substitute for that supplied
by meat, fish. poultry, eggs, milk,
cheese, etc. The legumes will not,
therefore. entirely take the place of
meat and similar sources of protein
In the diet. They should perhaps be
looked upon as meat savers rather
than meat substitutes. They will per-
form their function us food better If
used in connection with some Of the
other sources of protein named rather
than alone. For this reason such
dishes us the following, for example.
are preferable to beans or other
leeSmcs alone: Pork and beans, Bos-
ton roast (cold baked beans and
cheese), beam soup with boiled egg,
stews Of meat and 1egumes. bean Gro
quettes with boiled egg. and bean
chowders and purees with milk.

New" Spinach 10 Favorite.


This is just an item about spinach
and how you can help prevent rath-
er important loss in 1t. All that is
asked Of you is that you do not dis
criminate unfairly. when you go to
market, in the matter Of two kinds of
spinach which are practically alike
except in looks. Prickly seeded spin
ach is an old type that Is coming back
on the market this year because seed
Of the common spinach-Savoy-leaf
is scarce. 1t resembles the dandelion
somewhat In appearance. 1t has just
as much food value and as good
flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy
which, you are more accustomed to
buying, and can be cooked In the same
way. Only few years ago, before
the Savoy became almost the only
type grown commercially, the prickly
seeded spinach was the most popular
kind produced for winter use.
So don't snub this old favorite.
Specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture are eager to
have this explanation spread broad
cast because they fear loss may re-
suit from the belief of many consum-
ers and dealers that the prickly-
seeded type is new one differing in
food value.

Parcel Post by Motor,

One of the biggest steps yet taken in
the Introduction of motor trucks ms Il
city-to-clty carrier results from the de-
cision of the postoflice department to
establish numerous parcel post motor
truck routes. These have already
been surveyed and aggregated between
5000 and 1000 miles in length, with
shorter routes. One chain of routes
extends from Portland. Me-, to New
Orleans, and another through the mid
die western states, while still others
connect principal cities on the Pacific
coast. 1t is hoped that the operation
of these routes and of others to be es-
tablished will materially mid in the dis
tribution and In the lowering of the

epics of history decline for the most
part to give up their parade, the fea-
ture of Memorial day. They are de-
termined to show the younger genera
ton that If their bodies suffered from
the ravages of campaigns and of time,
the high luster of their courage and
their devotion has not been furnished

1t is fitting that the heroes In blue
should give to the soldiers in olive
drab this demonstration of their en-
durance of body and of soul. 1t is
well that the soldiers in olive drab, on

there has been but one four-word war
time speech. That was the sententious
utterance credited to General PERISH
ing. 1t was delivered at the tomb Of
Lafayette on the first of last Septem-
Der in the presence of number of dis
tinguished persons who crowded about
the flower-covered grave in the quaint
old cemetery.
Lafayette. we are herey" said Cen
eral Pershing.
There are other sententious speeches
in the annals, but it is doubtful If
one can be found that combines as
much sentiment with its brevity.
An exchange recalls n remarkably
brief dedication speech uttered by
Richard Mansfield on the occasion of
the opening of the Garrick theater in
Philadelphia. The eminent exponent
of the drama took no advantage of the
opportunity afforded him. He came to
the front, cast complacent glance at
the expectant throng and then grace
fully waved his arm and said:
II dedicate this building to theatrical
art"
This was very nearly as brief as the
ordinary boat christening.
Which recalls an incident that hap
pened many years ago at one of Cleve-
lands early-day shipyards. 1t intro
duced peculiar combination Of brew
lty and novelty.
A big schooner-they were all wood
en- boats at that time-was ready for
her first dip into the waters of the
Cuyahoga.
A pretty young woman, relative Of
the owner. had been selected to swing
the bottle of wine against the PROV of
the boat and say, II christen thee ]. G..
Frothingham." If that was its name.
Everything was in readiness. The
last prop awaited the final blow, the
bottle was poised in air. The yard
manager waved his hand. The bottle
struck the side of the ship.
Unhappily, there was defect in the
glass. The bottle collapsed in an I'M
expected manner and threw its con-
tents all over the young woman's nice
white frock. Consequently what she
said was this:
II christen thee-good graciousr'
And the stanch three-master Good
Gracious gracefully slid into the water.

Get acquainted with the de-

made without wheat flour.
If every family In the United
States were acquainted with
them, wheat shortage would
never pinch again, war or no

By not being acquainted with
them, you are missing an oppor-

Besides, you are missing the
opportunity of eating delicious
