WHEAT WILL
WIN The WAR
Eat It, and You Hell , the Hun;
Save il, and You Fight
For Freedom.
The WORLD FACES A CRISIS

Americas Problem is to Feed Her
AIies-Her own Food Supply is
Already Safe.
Not less important than the mill
tary crisis in Europe is the food sit
uation in the whole world and the
entire food problem centers around
/ the wheat supply. Wheat will win the
war-or lose it" is a terse and point
/ ed statement of Howard Heinz, U. S.
/ Food Administrator for Pennsylvania.
! 1t has now become a race among
three factors, with the odds against
our side. These three factors are the
approach Of the next harvest, the
rapid diminution Of wheat stocks
among the allied nations and the con-
servatiOn measures put into effect by
the patriotic people Of the United
States in their efforts to piece out a
narrow surplus for an anxious world
Among these factors the next har-
vest cTeeUs forward all too slowly;
the sur0l@ in the bins of the Allies
is sinking rapidly. i the situation
were limited to these tWO-if it were
a comp -tion between them alone
the race would already be lost. It is
only increased conservation in Ameri-
ca that VIII keep starvation from be-
ing the victor
The Allies must and viii be fed.
America must and viii save.
Our food supply already has been
protected. There is no danger here.
But the time has come to shovel the
wheat by carloads and shipIoads into
the transportation channels that lead
to Europe America can live on the
plentiful remainders, the cornmeal,
potatoes, meat, all of which by grace
of nature and careful conservation are
abundant
The Food Administrator for Penn
sylvania has recently put forth some
stirring calls for wheat saving. Amer
lea as a whole must cut her wheat
consumption in two, and more than
in two. From 100000 bushels a
month she must cut consumption to
20,000000 bushels. To accomplish
this, each American must cut his indi-
vidual consumption to six pounds per
month. Out of the limited stocks in
the country we must save stocks for
seed, some S0,000,0O0 bushels, we
must retain a safe carry-0ver we
must feed our own citizens; and the
United States with Canada must send
to the Allies 100000 bushels of
wheat a month.
The moral is plain. Large numbers
of our people must eat no wheat what
ever for three months or this great
task we have undertaken is doomed to
failure Already the great hotels have
taken the pledge, men and women of
Independent means have fallen into
line.
Which would you prefer-to eat
bread lavishly and live in a world
tributary to Germany, or eat no wheat
until the next harvest and be free?

POTATO FLOUR
COMING INTO USE
Even Cake That "MeIts in the Mouth
Can be Made by Using This
Product.

To most people Potato Flour is
brand-new commodity, utterly un-
known until the Wheat Substitute
Ruling went into effect. Potato Flour
has been known in Europe for years
previous to the war; quantities were
imported from Germany, and sold at
fancy price for various baking pur-
poses.
One woman, near Philadelphia, es-
tablished a reputation for cake bak-
ing by her use of potato flour. For
long time she had to get all of her
supply from Boston, but finally she
found it could be purchased in the
leading retail stores in Philadelphia.
She used potato flour in a sponge
cake recipe and for eight years car
ried off every prize at the county fair.
This sponge cake is of the most deli
cate texture, literally "melts in ones
mouth" Any one can make this cake
by using potato -four This potato
flour can now be purchased in most
any grocery store and while it is not
cheap article, it is sufficiently in
expensive to be worth while for cake
baking.
Some of our mothers tell how, dur
ing the Civil War, one of the weekly
duties of some households was to pre-
pare potatoes so that starch could be
readily obtained. The potatoes were
washed and when thinly sliced in
tub, covered with water and after
some hours of soaking quantities of
pure potato starch could be found at
the bottom. However, because it is
nearly pure starch, a little bit of
potato flour goes a long ways. In
cake and fancy pastry its use should
be encouraged and increased by the
careful housewife

There are many substitutes for
wheat flour, but no substitutes for
peace.
Silent pro-German appetites are as
hostile to the Allied cause as dis
loyal utterances.

COUNTY EXPENSE
 FOR PRISONERS MUCH REDUCED
Clerk Tracy Gives Some In teresting Figures Relating
 to Jail Finances.

War may be all that has been said or written about it, but at the same time 1t has several distinct uses- One of these uses is apparent in the re- port of F. W. Tracy, clerk of the Su- perior Court. In going over his fig ures relative to the amount of money expended for the board of prisoners at the county jail, he has discovered that for the three months ending March 31, some s1,8O0 less was paid out than for the preceding quarter.
 Furthermore, those are the three cold months of the year, the time when the friendly shelter of the Jail is most desirable to wanderers There cannot have been so many footloose worthies desirous of obtaining food and g. warm place to sleep this win ter This is probably due to the fact that for the most part they are in the army.
 The record for the last three quar- ters shows much the same decrease, although not quite as much as for the quarter ended March 31. The action of the draft that has swept many of these vaga'bonds into the army willy nilly is showing up quite convincinsly according to the figures of Clerk Tracy. Many of those of draft age were constantly in the county jail for some petty crime or other and they were considerable expense to the state. Since this expense has been materially reduced since the selective service draft went into effect there is but one inference that can be made.

TESINY HEIRS
 .HOTLY FIGHTING
 BROTHERS CLAIM
(Continued from Page one.)

(Continued from Page One.) was in the court room, had been ap- iparently deeply absorbed in a news tpaper ceased reading at this juncture and listened attentively to the re- marks of Attrney Smith,
 According to the summing up of At torney Smith the other heirs have maintained a consistent policy of an $agonism and malice against their brother Julius and had sought to hu- mIliate both himself and his wife In every possible way. After the fa- Fther's death and an administrator was sought the name of Julius was purposely omitted from the list of the children and this was a matter of great pelasure to the others as was shown by the attitude of Mrs. Am prose while on the stand yesterday. i; In the course of his argument Att torney Smith showed that the part nership in the fur business which supposedly existed between Julius and his brother Nicholas, really had no legal status as there was nothing in writing to confirm the assertion. Nicholas agreed to work for his brother for S7 a week and a bonus of as per cent This Nicholas received for a term of years, although at one period he left the city and went to New York because there was not enough money in the bank at that time to pay him.
 f. According to the bank book of Ju- Illus there was a balance of $1, 900 in the bank, in Julius name, at the time mentioned by Nicholas, and Attorney Smith questioned as to whether a man of Nicholas assertive disposition would allow that balance to remain in the bank in Julius name if he were full partner or a partner at all. The question of the $1 1,O00 it was said Mrs. Julius Tesiny wanted to borrow was somewhat discounted by a schedule of her assets at the time she was married showing a goodly amount of cash on deposit, making 1t seem rather incredulous that she was seek ing to borrow money. One apparent cause of the trouble was because Mrs. Tesiny believed in keeping her own money and not allowing 1t to be spent for the benefit of the other brothers and sisters.
 The hearing continued this after. noon.

URGE SOLDIER INSURANCE.
