POTATOES INSTEAD
WHEAT.

Use of potatoes to save wheat
Is demanded by the present stu
alton because greater quantities
of wheat must be conserved for
the use of the American forces
and the allied armies in Europe,
and also because an unusually
large supply of potatoes remains
in the hands of the growers.
Great quantities of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in a great
err variety of ways than is GUS
tomary in American families.
With the basic price of wheat
fixed as at present, flour is $13.70
barrel, or Z cents a pound. If,
then, potatoes can be obtained
at $1.20 a bushel, which is 2
cents pound, it is an economy
as well as war service to use
potatoes as substitute for flour
in bread making. Even at 8
cents a pound the potatoes cost
no more than flour.
Ways to use potatoes in place
of flour for various uses, par
tieularly in bread making, are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the
United States department of
agriculture. Some of these
recipes are given here.

Potato Breads-Try Them.

That we can use potato with flour
Is not surprising, for the food SUBJ
stance potato supplies most abundant
ly is starch, and it is largely because
of the starch they contain that the
world uses cereal grains as bread
stuffs. 1t will very often be found,
with little experimenting, that one
third to one-half of the flour in some
favorite recipe can be replaced with
mashed potato.
If potato is used for bread making
allowance must be made for the large
amount of water in it and less addi-
tional liquid used for this reason.
Potato Bread.
1 cupful mashed po 2 to 4 tablespoonfuls
tato. liquid yeast, or IA
1 teaspoonful salt. cake dry yeast or
21a cupfuls flour 1-6 to u cake COM
(more if necessary pressed yeast.
4 tabIeSpoonfuls wal

Short process Mix the salt with
the mashed potatoes which are free
from Jumps and cooled until lukewarm
Add one-sixth to one-half cake COM
pressed yeast softened in four table
spoonfuls of warm water, or two to
four teaspoonfuls of liquid yeast, or
one-half cake dry yeast. When liquid
yeast Is used no additional water must
be added. Blend with this potato and
yeast mixture one cupful flour. Stir
until smooth, cover, and set to rise.
When this sponge is light and soft,
knead in enough flour to make a
rather stiff but elastic dough. Be sure
that it is sitter than ordinary dough
Cover and let rise again until very
light. Knead down, mold, and place
In lightly creased pan. Let rise in pan
until as high as ordinary white bread
then bake at least one hour In mod
erately hot oven. Bake very thor.
oughly. Thiz makes one loaf.

ISSUED in favor of his SON Ralfe a.
Anderson Jr. held a policy of insur
snee for $1,000 in the Woodmen OF
the World, which in June, 1916, he al
Egwed to lapse by falling to pay his
xaDnthly dues in May An official no
szee OF suspension was mailed by the
E0Eai clerk of his camp to the supreme
clerk, and Anderson stood suspended
Ga1nn that date. Several months later
lsaIz father paid up the back dues and
swslzed for reinstatement of his SON.
These dues were not transmitted by
the local to the supreme clerk, nor did
the company know that the dues had
been accepted, as no certificate Of
good health had been presented nor
reinstatement asked In February,
1917, the local clerk transmitted the
Back dues of Anderson to the supreme
clerk, together with notice of Ander-
xon's death. These dues were prompt
ay returned by the home Office of the
asompany, and all liability denied. The
psaintiff was given jugdment in the
Circuit Court on the ground that the
action of the clerk in accepting the
past due assessments was the action
aof the company, but the Supreme
Court said that according to the terms
0F the policy, in order for the insured

he must have filed a health certificate,

SON could not Rave truthfully filed

War-Heiping Housewife Is Constantly
on Lookout for New Recipes for
Bread and Cakes Requiring
Less White Flour.


Every war-helping housewife, now
that greater efforts must be made to
save wheat, is on the lookout for new
recipes for breads and cakes that re-
quire less white flour or none at all.
Perhaps these recipes will help her
solve the problem of the wheatless
meals. Many good quick breads can be
made from other flours or meals and,
If used often, constitute a great saving

Try this buckwheat breakfast cake.
All measurements in this and the fol-
lowing recipes are level:

Mix dry ingredients and add to

muffin molds thirty to thirty-five min
utes. These mullins are very good
without the molasses and raisins.
If desired, an amount of grated raw
potato equal to the amount of mashed
potato called for may be used, but the
resulting bread is darker and has
cooked potatoes are used.
Try this recipe for tea biscuits. No
tice that the liquid is less than is the
case when all flour is used, because

tains:

Sift together twice the flour, salt and

rub into this -four mixture the mashed

liquid to make the mass cling together.
Do not knead. Place on Toured board,
roll until one-half inch thick, and cut
into rounds Place these in lightly
Toured biscuit tins and bake fifteen to
twenty minutes in a moderately hot
oven. Bake all potato breads more
slowly than those made with flour
alone.

cakes entirely these days in order to

AMERICAN TROOPS
TO BATTLE FRONT
HAVE BEEN TURNED OVER TO
ALLIES TO BE USED AS THEY
MAY SEE FIT.

With the American Army in France.
All the American troops have been
turned over to- the allies to use az
they see fit. American troops may
soon be fighting side by side with
the French and British in the battle
raging in northern France.
1t is enough to say that great ac-
tiyity of many sorts is in progress
in the entire American zone. Miles
of motor trucks loaded with Ameri-
cans have passed through the towns,
some going in one direction, some in
another. Through a driving rain the
motor trucks ploughed their way
along muddy roads, the Americans
singing. Many of the trucks had
American flags fastened to their tail
boards.
On other roads mile after mile OF
marching Americans splashed through
the mud which came over their an
kles. The horses were steaming from
the work they had to do. All the
men are working as hard as possible,
with the realization that they are
to be of service in the common cause
and used in the present conflict.
Out on the open roads the men in
the camions sang everything from
1.-THE Battle Hymn of the Republic"
to "Tipperary." They exhibited the
greatest enthusiasm for the work they
have in hand and seemed to be anx-
ious to get it started.
Washington. The announcement
that American soldiers actually are
on their way to the fighting lines to
take places beside their hard-pressed
British and French allies sent a thrill
throughout the national capital. 1t
was the first positive statement that
General Pershing's forces actually are
on their way to the battle lines TO
help stem the tide of the German
drive.
The sending of General Pershing's
fighting troops to places in the Brit
ish-French line has been expected by
military experts to follow the crea-
ton of unified command under the
French chief of staff, General Foch,
and General Pershings formal offer
of all the available American re-
sources.
Too much may not be said about
the number and position of the Amer
lean troops because of military rea-
sons. 1t is no violation of the CEN
sorship, however, to say that more
than 100000 American fighting men,
fully equipped and intensive trained
in the school of actual battle condi'
lions, are available at once to De
thrown into places to strengthen the
British and French lines wherever
they threaten to buckle under the
unheard-of ferocity of the German on
slaught.

OH, ABOUT THAT EARLY
MORNING CELEBRATION
It Was a Swell Day for a
Parade and Breakfast
Tasted Fine.

Hammond celebrated the surrender of
Germany and the end Of the war be-
tween the hours of and o'clock sun
day morning AS matter OF fact Ger
many hadn't surrendered and the war
was still on, but it was a dandy cele-
bration anyway
Whistles blew and bells rang continu-
ously for more than half an hour and
parade was organized by leading pa
triots and marched through the streets
for hours. growing continuously. A bull
letin at m. in front of THE TINES
Office stating that there was no truth
in the report that Germany had quit
brought the celebration to an end
though some of the deluded kept on
perading.
4 Chicago newspaper is doubtless re-
sponsible for the excitement When the
! long expected German peace offensive
broke it sent telegram to Mayor Brown
stating that Chancellor Max before the
Reichstag had advocated the acceptance
of President Wilson's fourteen terms on
which peace could be negotiated Added
10 this unusual proceeding OF wiring a
mayor in the middle OF the night was a
report said to be circulated by the Erie
night telegraph operator who caught a
message going over the wire and making
a diplomat and international lawyer out
of himself interpreted it to mean that
Germany had surrendered.
The demonstration gave lot OF peo-
pie much-needed early morning exercise
and fresh air.
