Considerable misapprehension
appears to exist with regard to the
part played by rye -four in the
scheme of things CONGREGATIONAL.
Rye il one sense is substitute
for wheat, for it's use cuts down the
consumption of wheat, but it is not
listed as substitute by the food
administration because it is equally
valuable for export purposes.
Wheat and rye are not only so
nearly alike in composition that
they can be used Interchangeable in
bread, but they both keep well in
the form of flour or grain, they are
easily handled, and European mills
are equipped to handle them.
Therefore, they are ideal for ex-
port.
Corn is the most plentiful grain
in America, and could most easily
be spared for export, but cornmeal
has poor keeping qualities, and Eu-
ropean mills do not have the ma
chinery for handling corn. Conse-
quently, it is ,impracticaible to ex-
port corn for food purposes.
Wheat is better adapted to use
with the various wheat substitutes
than rye is. Therefore, the food
administration does not require the
purchase of substitutes with rye.
But rye is too valuable for export
to be forced on the home market, so
it is not classed as a substitute for
wheat, even though it is best when
mixed with wheat.
Any grain except wheat can be
bought alone. Any other grain eX-
cept rye is classed as a substitute
for wheat. The reasons for thi:
position are sound, although at frs
they are slightly confusing

Christian Science ON Equal Status.

New York, N.Y.-Under the head
ing Christian Science in the Navy"
the New York World on Tuesday
printed the following as an editorial:
THE appointment by Secretary
Daniels of a Christian Scientist as
navy chaplain denotes the significant
change in the public attitude toward
the faith founded by Mrs. Eddy.
Gould such selection of a spirit
ual adviser have been conceived of
in Dewey's navy? Christian Science
then and long after was anathema
to the regular religious de1omina
tons of the country. Legislation
was invoked to restrain it, medical
societies prosecuted the practition-
ers, and it was made to bear the
brunt OF a powerful opposition
everywhere. Now the Government
gives it full recognition and accords
its readers an equal status with the
ministers of other creeds. Besides
the navy chaplain, there are two
Christian Science chaplai1s in the
army.
so have the old antagonisms sub
sided and the earlier intolerance
given way under the spirit of relig-
ious freedom. History has repeated
itself once more, and the new kirk
fought it's way to a place alongside
the old kirk. 1t has been an inter-
esting process, and the outcome is
notable as an illustration of the lib
eraliziag tendencies of modern opin-
ion, whether religious or political"
