. CORN BREAD.

For months past the department of
agriculture, in Washington, has been
flooding the country with cooking rec
ipes. presumably intended to aid in the
campaign for food conservation. Those
which have reached the newspaper Of
4fices probably have. in large measure,
gone into the waste baskets. Those
which have reached the American
housewives probably have given rise
to mingled feelings of mirthfulness
and disgust. But the limit appears to
have been reached when the depart
nent recently put forth a formula for
making corn bread. The recipe fol-
lows:
zone square pan 16x22 inches.)
One quart milk, four ounces but
three eggs, one pinch salt, two
pounds corn meal 1 pound rye
flour, 2 ounces baking powder.
The butter and the syrup to be
.thoroly mixed, then add the eggs,
+ gradually, pour in the milk. then
add the rye flour mixed with the
ecorn meal and baking powder To
be baked in a hot oven.
The foregoing recipe fell under the
eye of the editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal, who probably having
been reared in the south knows what
corn bread is, and it caused him to
pen the following:
The eggs in this recipe would cost
10 cents, the butter would cost nearly
as much. the milk would cost IL or

cost about 90 cents. The pan of bread
would cost about as GENTS. Whether

The United States bureau of fish

oysters. 1t is stated that the oyster
production in the United States is the
greatest in the world. 1t can be made
much greater because vast areas of un-

ductive by oyster culture. The purity
of oysters placed on the market is now

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

Bravery on the part of officers and
men was most conspicuous when the
American destroyer, Tanning. coming
suddenly upon a German U-boat in
war-zone waters, captured the craft
and took all on board prisoners. Sec
ond in command was Lieut.. G.. H
Fort, L. S. N, whose wife resides at
2817 Q street, Northwest, Washing
ton The official report shows that it
was the splendid skill of the officers
and their men, and their quick deci-
sion and action, that made the victory
possible. The U-boat was trying to
sink one of the vessesl the Tanning
and other destroyers We're escorting.
when her periscope was seen. Three
minutes after, a depth bomb from the
Tanning had disabled her and this
was followed by charges from the
deck guns. The U-boat finally start
ed to sink, the crew coming on deck
and surrendering. When they jumped
into the sea, the men of the Tanning,
under orders from their officers, did
all in their power to make a rescue.
All were saved and taken prisoners
but one. This victim of the sea died
after being brought aboard by an
American sailor who had jumped over
board and tried to save the mans
life.
