QUICK BREADS CONSERVE
WHEAT SATISFY STOMACHS

Biscuits, mullins, griddle cakes,
waff1es-use these in place of yeast
bread and save wheat. To make a
yeast bread of good texture some
wheat feSf must be used to furnish
the gluten necessary for this form
of leavening. Quick breads leavened
with baking powders or sour milk, or
cream of tartar with baking soda, do
not need this gluten, so we can use
other cereal f1ours that do not con-
tain gluten for them. Barley flour,
corn flour, corn meal, buckwheat
flour, oatmeal, sweet potato -four,
kafir and feterita meal-all such can
be used for quick breads. Their use
will do much to relieve the wheat
situation, as they require no wheat.
They are delicious, too, so when you
serve your family with hot breads
made from the wheat substitutes you
help your country and the Allies, and
at the same time furnish your family
with good things to eat
For hot biscuits almost any of the
substitute flours can be used, using
the same amount of shortening and
baking powder as for wheat biscuit
and enough liquid to make a dough of
the right consistency for rolling. Half
corn flour and half corn meal makes
a good biscuit OF half corn meal and
half peanut meal.
This barley drop biscuit is de-
licious
Barley Drop Biscuits.
Two cups barley -four, 6 teaspoons
baking powder, 1 cup milk, 4 table,
spoons fat, II teaspoons salt.
Baked in a sheet this makes good
shortcake, buttered and served with
fresh crushed berries or other fruit.
When soy-bean meal or peanut
meal are used the fat should be re-
duced, as both of these contain much
fat
For mullins the standard recipe can
again be used, substituting the other
fours in place of all or part of the
wheat flour. Rolled oats can be put
through a food grinder and used as
any other flour or meal in quick
breads. Here is a delicious muffin
made from oatmeal and corn flour.

One cup oatmeal, / cup corn flour,
1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt,
teaspoons baking powder, table

HAND sTIrCHERY.

The French blouse is a miracle Of
fine hand stitchery, but it never
shows the good lines of the Ameri-
can cut garment. The same is true
of French and American indies. AL
WAYS the French woman desires the
narrow shoulders; invariably the
American woman wants hers broad.
When the daughter of Uncle Sam
made frequent trips to Paris and re-
turned with a load of sartorial lux
uries she did not consider the gar
ments a good investment when it
came to service, since nighties, chem
ises and blouses tore out at the back
of the armhole. There is a rumor
that the Paris designers have reform
ed, but it is only a rumor. Always
there is the narrow shoulder line; if
the chest width is ample the rest of
the garment belongs to the class
known as AAthe stouts,"
So the American lingerie makers
are featuring handwork, in a simple
beautiful and unaffected manner.
They don't throw on the embroidery
by the shovelful, but what they do
add is in good taste and of artistic
character. But they are wondering

Shank: According to market price
this is the cheapest part of beef.
However, it contains from 81 to 81
per cent. waste and requires long
cooking. 1t is used for soup and
stews.
Brisket: The demand for this cut
is steadily increasing and it is used
principally in stews, pot roasts and
soups. 1t is also excellent for corn
ing as it contains the proportion of
fat and lean necessary to obtain the
best results. It contains % per cent.
waste.
Plate: Also known as the navel end.
This sells at a low price and is suitable
for stews, soup and corning.
Flank: One of the homeless cuts,
containing practically no waste (from
1 to 10 per- cent?, for stewing, brais-
ing or baking. 1t contains the flank
steak, which has no waste It is de-
sirable as a, steak, costing less than
the loin steaks, but excellent when
subjected to longer, slower cooking.
This cut makes most delicious Swiss
steak. Also used extensively for
broiling, roasting and for braising.
The f1bers in these cuts are stronger
or tougher than those in the loin, and
should be broken before cooking by
scoring crosswise. In cooking, the
first essential is to scar both sides IF
the meat so as to retain the juice.
Rump: Like the round, this cut IS
nutritious but requires careful cook
ing to render it tender. Contains
slightly more waste than does the
round. Good steaks are obtained from
the rump; it is also used for ppa
rcasts, braising and corning.-Mfs.

JUNE TIME

In every year there is a June
the month of roses, the month of
Brides of sunshine in clear, pure, blue
skies, of soft breezes family scented
with the fragrance from poisoning
field and verdant woodland and float
ting the melodies of newly mated
birds tipping the tops of the trees
or piping merry air from the high
er post of the pasture gate. June, at
noontime There is the great big
black and yellow plundering bee
booming along over the pools of nod
ding clover with his honey pack upon
his gay back.
In every year there is a June. No
matter how cold and drear have been
the winter days, how slow and recall
citrant the days of Spring, we at last
come into June, wonderful, radiant,
beautiful June.
There is a June time in your life. It
will come again and again, each time
as beautiful as before, each time with
all the hope and promise, inspiration
and satisfaction that it alone can
give.
And the more you enjoy this June
the greater you will appreciate the
next. The more you make of your
life this year the greater it will be
next year, and so on from year to
year, from June to June, until you
can look back upon the years and
count your Junes as jewel months,
diamonds, emeralds and rubies set N
the golden chain of years.
There is always June time COM
ing,
There is always a June time here,
For June time means a good time,
And a good time means good cheer,
Your life can never be empty,
Your heart can never have fear,
If you know there's June time COM
ing,
And always a June time here.
