MOTHERS
use SUBSTITUTES TO
HELP WIN THE war

ries. but all over Colorado there are
other "Old Aunt Marys.' other ":Ioih-
er O. Mines" who are helping. by saw.
ing. by substituting In their own
kitchens to win the war.
When America was forced into tho
war Of the world President Wilson re-
allied that there were three elements
essential to win . complete and last
ing victory-men. money and food.
Americas youth 10 furnishing the
men and making = well equipped. or.
ganixed. trained army ready to fight
for the safety Of its country until the
last round Of ammunition has been
fired and peace has come.
Americas men. too old to fight but
not too old to carry on the work OF
the world. are furnishing the money
money enough for America and lit
tie extra for the financial needs of the
allies = money obtained by income
taxes. liberty bonds and war savings
certificates.
And Americas women. under the
guidance OF United States Food Ad-
ministrator Herbert d. Hoover. are as
suming the burden OF food saving. Tho
called to help save meat, wheat, sug-
ar. fats-those vital. compact foods
which will ship over there" and
which can be stored until they are
needed by the American army over
| seas and the army of the allies.
There is only one way to save
these vital foodstuffs for our soldiers,
| and that Is by using substitutes which
| are plentiful, easily obtained and
which furnish to the great army be-
hind the lines. including you and you
all the essential food elements, and
which cannot be shipped abroad.
All bakeries have been ordered by
the Food Administration to use twen-
ty-five per cent of corn flour, corn
meal, barley flour, barley meal. oat-
meal, rice or other substitutes in all
| the bread and rolls that they make.
The administration has also ordered
| that every retailer who sells wheat
flour must sell an equal amount-in
| weight - of substitutes for wheat.
| These substitutes are many. They
| include corn flour, corn meal, edible
| corn starch, hominy, corn grits, bar
| ley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice.
rice flour, potato flour, milo, kaffir,
soya bean flour, peanut flour, and 9th
or similar flours which cannot be pur-
| chased in Colorado at the present
| tine.
THE women of the nation are al
ready earnestly seeking to do their
part in this, our great struggle for the
maintenance of our national ideals
wrote President Wilson in a letter to
Herbert Hoover, "and in no direction
can they so greatly assist as by ell
listing in the service OF the Food Adj
| ministration and cheerfully accepting
It's direction and advice"
| 10 n the that America
| naturally looks for help in increasing
the surplus OF food available for our
| army and for exports 10 the allies; to
| them must come the duty of climinat-
ing waste and observing strict econ
| omy in consumption so that our sol
| diers and the soldiers of the allies
| may be fed. 1t is the women who pur-
chase and handle the food OF the ma
ton, who must make the food saving
| campaign successful by the use of sub
| stitutes.
Mothers of Colorado have not failed
| their country. They have saved have
complied with the requests of the food
| administrator in regard to foods, but
| to some women who have been &C.
| customed TO use all kinds of food at
all times, the use OF substitutes Is
often very difficult Because this
newspaper has realized this difficulty.
arrangements have been made with
the Colorado Food Administration, to
| have Sarah Stone, who knows the
| why's and whcrefores of food saving
| and the ways and means OF substitut-
| ing, furnish tested substitute recipes,
answer any questions which may be
troubling housewives. Miss Stone can
be communicated with at 5O4 Inter-
state Trust Building. Denver. She is
anxious to have suggestions and
recipes from women who have discov-
cred successful ways Of using wheat
substitutes so that they can be passed
on to other Colorado women who are
needing help that they may help Am
