GOOD HOUSEKEEPIN =
By Henrietta Grauel.
UNTIL OUR NEXT HARVEST.

! Do you think il llnpatriOtlc to use corn
! meal, rolled oats and the other sibsti-
! tutes which We cannot learn to eat, Tor
| baby chick food? Please answer through
your department Vllager.'
II certainly is unpatriotic. 1t is criminal
in the highest degree 10 use wheat slbs'i-
tutcs, which are intended TO go into loaVc9
of bread for chickens. Every bushel ol
wheat now saved, means the support oi
one soldier ON the battle line until next
harvest. The answer IS clear; we must
send wheat to our soldiers.
When YOU say your family cannot
learn to eat wheat substitutes, you con
fess yourself slacker, and brand them as
sympathizers with the Huns If Won listen,
you can hear the accusation of the starv-
/, ing ringing in your ears you are weighed
, IN the balance and found wanting.
There are q thousand ways IN which
the splendid grains We are gwen in place
of wheat ran be used TO refuse 10 exert
yourself to make substitutes paiatabe
To your family shows that YOU have but
a faint disposition to walk in the path OF
! Americanism.
We must not relax otlr savings until
Germany is defeated and the world pro-
| duction of grains IS again normal. Utah
has organized a vigilance committee to
| look after women who destroy wheat
substitutes and in Ohio. recently woman
was fined heavily for using corn meal and
rye flour for stock food Such measures
may be found needful in all commuictIes
| before all housckecpcrs realize Just what
| their war Jobs embrace
Barley bread is delicious, and 80 Is

my bows and my husband declare they
never ate such good bread in their lives
Here Is a note from school girl who does
her honscwork between times
never baked bread before, and cannot yet
many of the substitutes | read about; but
To eat all white bread would choke me,
now. and 81 ! am trying TO do the best
can, for have no one to show me anything
and do tho work for two brothers and my
father and 60 10 school MS well. ! am

When this Is cool | use II and the water IN
whlch II i cooked, adding II to the sponge,
which then work down and set 10 rise

this, and no shortening The bread Is just
fine Also. boiled beans and pressed the
pulps from them with sieve, and used a
cup Of this to three cups Of -four | use
corn starch for thickenlng everything,
and If Won will send me other ways to
usc broken rice, bolted meal and grated
crumbs | will tell the recipes to my
ncighbors and use them myself
Such n girl as this deserves a medal
Her example is surely a shining light,
and the good that she is doing in her own
little place must be great Her burdens
will never be milestone about her neck,
for she IS taking them up bravely and
bearing them joyfuly, sharing her knowl-
edge with those who have even fewer
advantages and never stopping to ask if
her family like substitutes. but pre-
senting them in their best form and as q
matter OF duty
