Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-03-29
Where the President Stands.

some OF the 0ld-llne party lead
ers, both Democrats and Republi.
cans, used to sneer at the thought
of President Wilson as politician.
He did not play the game as they
had learned it; hence he must be
wrong-a "schoolmaster in politics"
they derisively called him. They
do not use the term any more, or, if
they do, it is in profound respect.
From the time of his election as
Governor of New Jersey up to the
present Wilson has shown that he
is one of the shredest politicians the
country ever produced. Even his
enemies give him credit for quail
ties of leadership far above the or
binary. He gets results, where
others only proposed policies Even
before the war he had placed more
constructive legislation on the stat
ute books than any President of
his generation.
How does he do it? Not by
means of political organization, a
machine built up with patronage
and maintained by system of re-
wards and punishments, such as
the politicians of few years ago
considered necessary Most of the
Presidents appointments have been
made without regard to their effect
upon pending or future legislation.
He has considered the wishes of
members of Congress who have
fought his pet measures openly and
10 secret, and has turned down the
recommendations of some of his
most active supporters.
He has obtained results simply
by appealing to the p"blic. taking
the people into his confidence, put.
ting the forces of public at work be-
hind the men he sought to influence
This is the new politics." of which
we hear so much Roosevelt played
it, but with far less skill than Viii.
son has shown. Both men have an
uncanny knack of eaueing public
sentiment, but Roosevelt's methods
were those of a amateur compared
with Wilson's.
So we tind the politicians anxious
ly awaiting the Presidents purpose
with regard to the coming elections.
Is the administration merely going
to stand pat" demand a vote of
confidence through the election of
Democratic Congress, or does it pro-
pose to meet the expected attack
half way, as the President did in the
Chamberlain natter pulverizing
the carefully planned Roosevelt
PeDrose offensive before it got we'll
strrted?
Within the last few days two
statements have come from the
White House bearing directly upon
the political situation. One was the
message addressed to the Demo-
cratic leaders of New Jersey, in
which the President advised them
to 'shelve old party slogans and
commit yourself to disinterested
service to humanity"
The other was the letter address
ed TO Joseph E Davies, Democratic
nominee for the senatorial vacancy
in Wisconsin. In this letter the
President indicates that loyalty TO
American institutions. both now
and before the United States enter
ed the war, will be made an issue
in the compaign He says to Mt.
Davies: The McLemore resolution
the embargo issue and the armed
neutrality measure presented the
first opportunities to apply the acid
test in our country to disclose true
loyalty and genuine AmericanisD.

EUROPE needs FOOD

Absolute Sin to Waste =ood-Food

Europe is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send il

we eat it all we cannot ship it, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve if
they do not get it, the food aGministra-
ton states.
For the least bit OF heedlessuess
on your part in food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf

declares. THE food administration
has mastered the problem Of Ameri-
cas- food in such Il way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
at is an absolute sin 10 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

Snow, snow, and still more snow, and
after each snow fall wind gets busy
and piles great drifts in the roads, and
travel is well nigh impossible.
AL church services in this neigbor-

The snow being too deep for fox
chasing. the sportsmen are sitting
about their fires, while their dogs tug
restle3sly at their CHAINS and eat up

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $200,000000 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 arbl-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the aduteyated war bread
loaf Of four pounds to sell at Is cents
The two pound loaf costs 9 cents and
the one pound loaf sells for > cents
In milling, however, II per cent
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is a com
pulsory adulterotion Of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration Of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about IS per
cent pure at its best.
In France under conditions some
what similar, but with larger cxtran-
ton, The four pound loaf sells for 1G
cents.

TUBERCULOSIS TREASURER
Makes Report of Money Received
and From Home

tuberculosis is not an hereditary dis
ease; it is preventable and durable. The
death rate from tuberculosis in our
country has been reduced one-half with
in generation. That our war in
Europe will make more tuberculosis at
home because of rigor and danger of
army life, is certain, from the ex-
perience of England, France, Canada
and Germany. Prisoners taken by
Germany have been inoculated with
tuberculosis and then returned to their
own country to spread the disease.

I've have already exported the
whole Of the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest over and above the normal de.
mands Of our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food ad.
ministration to restrict export of wheal
50 as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our OWE
people until the next harvest.
therefore all exports Of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume Of saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption OF
wheat and wheat products.
I'VE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al.
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ton made we We're still unable TO load
several hundred thousand tons Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December

WHEAT-C0RN YEAST BREAD.

Wheat-cOrn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam.
lilies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and in 50 doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here's a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and a half
the two; One-half cake compressed
yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup cOrnmeal
and two cups wheat flour
Put one and a half cups of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat Qt
used) into double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water Is suffi-
cient only to soften the meal a little.
Allow the meal to cool TO about the
temperature of the room and add the
-four and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place in pan Of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake As or 80 min
utes. 1t Is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage,of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn a case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
1t is possible to make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupfuI Of meal should be used to
four cupfuls Of flour In ether re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
az In the above recipe.
