Ton SMnde Your Bed"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am a young lady not twenty
years of age, and married. The
man I married Is not the one love.
which / have found out since my
marriage. The one / readily love is
former sweetheart, and he is
deeply in love with me. as we have
met several times since my marTi-
age. When we kept steady COM
pany. I was very jealous OF him.
and for some reason or other
thought he was paying more atten-
ton to some one else than he was
TO me. So to spite him as l thought
! married this young man. but only
to find out that l am the one spited,
and l cannot be happy without the
man I tried to spite.
Please advise me what TO do.
because he tells me he still dearly
loves me. and / know 1 shall never
be happy without him.
a SORROWFUL BRIDE.
Well, you have made a tragic
series OF blunders, have you not?
Now you must do one OF two
things. either put the man you
once could not get on with, and
now fancy you cannot get on
without, from your life forever.
or go to your husband and tell
him honestly, squRrely. and sin
cerely how you feel about the
whole thing and how little faith
you have in yourself to conquer
and be a good wife to him. He
had better give you your freedom
and let you marry the other man
than hold you to a bargain you
have not enough strength OF
character and loyalty to keep.

RAW MILK AND CREAM

-N NaNS A.HNN
To protect children, inya-
lids and those who are in a
rundown condition against
milk infections. raw milk and
cream should be avoided.
Much OF IT may be safe and
wholesome for healthy adults,
but it Is not always reliable,
and many outbreaks OF infee-
tious Sc ses have been
caused by raw milk, some
times even by the special or
certified kind.
Properly pasteurized milk
and cream, carefully cooled
people should drink. II this
cannot be obtained scald the
raw milk without boiling it.
Heat-treatinE milk does not
impair its digestibility or nour-
ishing properties. II does not
cause ricketts, or scurvy in chill
dren. These facts have been
definitely established by com
petent sanitarians and food ex-
perts.
The Health Ohicer OF the
District Of Columbia will give
you the sanitary rating Of
your local milk supply at any

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
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 poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO,OOO,OOO a year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain 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 a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at
cents
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations MAIN
stay in the crisis Of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as
staple food during the War Of the Rev
Olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
dc Of
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

MAIDEN -GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED in CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministratiOn.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks Of home canned
goods
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
emit Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
ut lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority. OF
people yet realize"
