they knitted in their homes and later
when the request for more surgical
dressings was announced they signified
their Willingness to take up this work
also.
THE Chinese Masons. equally patri-
otic. decided that, since one of the tenets
of their order was relief, they would
permit the women to use the temple
room of the Chinese Masonic Temple
for their work room.
I'm this room, heretofore used only by
the men OF the race who called to wor-
ship their joss and to perform their
lodge rites. the Chinese women take
their lessons in surgical dressings from
the instructors of the Boise Chapter of
the Red Cross. Their work table stands
directly in front of the altar on which
the ever burning light is placed and the
expression on the grim face of the joss
seems to soften as it looks down upon
the twentieth century Chinese women en-
gagged in their humanitarian work"

PLAN TO REGULATE
WHEAT SUBSTITUTES
Food Administration to Act
Because of Shortage-Senate
in Price-FiXing Tangle
Washington. March 30.


Food administration officials today
are rounding UP whc IT substitutes.
Preliminary to contemplated reduction
in wheat consumption, provision for
regulation Of substitute foods must he
made. Conferences for this purpose are
now underway.
Local shortages. lack of special mill
ing equipment and transportation diff
culties add to the problem.
Gracers i'm mlny cascs nave been
unable to get cornmeal. rye flour, barley
flour and other substitutes made from
potato meal, beans and rice. Rcgula-
tons require selling of equal amounts
of flour substitute with each pound of
wheat flour.
Profteering IN substitutes has pro-
voked widespread complaint. Few mill
lers were equipped to mill these sub
stitutes. all but barley requiring special
machinery. Those fortunate enough TO
produce widely demanded substitutes
have boosted prices and extracted n
fat profit.
Food administration officials are at.
tempting to distribute the demand for
substitutes as widely as possible Bar
ley and corn flour are bearing the
weight of the sudden demand forced by
wheat restrictions. The demand cannot
be met. Milling of potato. rice, bean and
rye flour will be stimulated and the
public encouraged to buy them. Locali-
ties will be informed as to what substi-
tutes are most plentiful in each particu-
Lar district, and the public will be urged
to use these instead of substitutes pro-
duced at more distant points.
The Senate was still entangled today
in bitter row over $3.50 wheat. Three
days have been consumed trying to
bring the question to a vote.
In the face of administration opposi.
tion, Senator Gore, Of Oklahoma, chair
man of the agriculture committee. has
moved to suspend the Senate rules to
make in order an amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill raising
the minimum price Of wheat TO $3.50 per
bushel

aud who need the fats most, will be the
chief sufferers"
In urging greater conservation of fats,
Miss Dustin explained several ways by
which substitutes could be used to just
as great advantage by stay-at-home
adults. They include the use of skinned
instead of whole milk in cooking. the use
Of less or no butter in cooking vege-
tables aud the substitution of salt, which
will give the buttercd flavor. and the
curtailing of fried foods or the substi-
tuition Of vegetable oils for fats in fry
ing
Miss Dustin however. emphasized the
fact that growing children must have
butter fats of some sort included in
their diet every day. This is necessary,
she concluded. that they may grow into
