For Victory Bread in the Home.

The food administration has not re-
quired that housewives make victory
bread at home, but is glad. of course if
any are willing and able to do it. Mr..
Hoover is satisfied that the home loaf
shall be all wheat flour. provided as
much of other cereals * used in some
other way as there is used wheat flour
in making bread and pastries. The
hfty-hfty rule permits the purchase of
whole rice and rolled oats in equal
weights with flour. The rice may, be
used in numerous ways, while the
rolled oats make an economical palata-
Bile and highly nutritious breakfast
dish.
They also may be combined with -four
Tor making bread. and when combined
with little -four and corn meal make
delicious griddle cakes. Two other ar
ticles which come under the fifty-fifty
rule are hominy, including hominy
grits. and corn starch. The hominy grits
make a good breakfast food, to be eaten
with cream or milk and sugar. and
both the grits and whole hominy make
an acceptable dish at other meals, es-
pecially If used with gravies.
Use of Cornstarch.
The cornstarch is useful in making
buildings, and also may be used in
thickening soups and gravies, thus eff
fecting saving in wheat.

Rice. Corn and Potato Flour Scarce

Neither corn -four nor rice flour Is
on the Washington market in any con-
siderable quantity Barley flour now
is reaching here in fair supply, but
practically all of it goes to the com
mercial bakers. who also are expert
encing a good deal of difficulty in OBJ
tanning the substitutes they are re-
quired to use in bread.
Potato -four is another of the substi-
tItes recommended by the food admin
istration which cannot be bought in
Washington in any quantity. The lit
tie sold here is put up in packages and
retails at from IA 10 IS cents a pound.
\ certain quantity of cooked and
mashed potatoes can be mixed with
wheat flour TO make bread, but if il is
attempted to combine potatoes and
cornmeal to make up the full 20 per
cent of substitutes required for VIC
tory" bread. the loaf is likely to be
heavy and unsatisfactory.
