~- Wheat Changes. @'
Our new wheat ruling has come and
we will be allowed to make breads
with just 20 per cent substitute. This
Is certainly quite change from our
$3.50 rule and in the making of wheat
breads from now on as very good nice
loaves can be made with 20 per cent
substitute. ~. ~ e.s
We are now according to the ruling,
to sit at common table with all the
Allies and we are to use the same per-
centage although person may buy the
pure wheat flour If he purchases 20
per cent substitute.
We hope that the people OF Della
ware County will adhere at least to 20
per cent substitute in all bread mix
lures. We have grown accustomed to
even more than that and have not
found it any great hardship. We rely
upon your patriotism to treat your
selves as all our Allies are to be
treated and to remember that we prob
ably have plenty of other things to eat
while our Allies and brothers over
the water lack great variety of
other foods as the fruits and vege-
tables and other garden products
which are plentiful at this season of
the year.
Wool Conservation.
One of the main projects on for the
fall will be Wool Conservation. 1t
seems that thirteen times as much
wool is needed by the soldiers as
civilian. Therefore of course there
is an increased demand.
The wool industries in the u. S.
has decreased greatly in the past five
years. The U. s. has been importing
wool from other countries which ARE
the reasons why we must conserve on
wool and use every speck OF wool
material which we may have in the
house, to some advantage. I
The first thing I am going to ask
YOU women of Delaware County to do I
is to search around in your closets
and wardrobes for garments of wool
which could perhaps be made over, |
Perhaps washed, maybe dyed and
made over into garments for children
and young misses and perhaps for
yourselves. 1t is really wonderful how
the styles this year lend themselves
10 the making over plan. Help
will be given you later perhaps,
if you care for it in suggesting meth
DDS of making over styles, etc.
We expect to have a demonstration
along this line later with this in view.
Meanwhile hunt around, lay out and
wash up the materials. Perhaps II
YOU cannot use them yourselves there
are plenty of mothers who could use
it all in someway for the children.
Don't let anything lie around to be
moth eaten.
Fuel Conservation.
Now is the time to look over the
furnace, to clean out the flue, to make
sure that your hampers are all work.
ing properly so that there will be no
need of the heat of your coal going up
the chimneys for lack Of checks, or
that the fuel will burn wastefully
without giving out it's full heat or for
lack of the proper drafts and clean
ing.
Don't rail at the Fuel Administra-
tor for not giving you coal nor about
how you are going to keep warm this
winter but do everything that you can
to get your own heating plant or
stoves in the best of working order.
There is a very great deal in an econ
omic method of working your stoves
both in cooking and heating and let's
every householder consider this prob
lem in his own mind before the time
to start the fires for winter.
