SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE

Science Is hurrying to the rescueI
Along sanitary and military and mel
ehanical lines 1t has made marvellous
progress. In the culinary field It leaves
much to be desired.
Now comes Philadelphia chemist
and offers mankind a mineral soup
that is pronounced fully as nutritious,
as the finest beef extract. He told
the Franklin institute the other night
how the substitute is prepared. 1t is
4 decidedly peculiar recipe and one
that might well make the ordinary
cookbook shudder. You take portions

yeast These ingredients are mixed
and set away until reaction by autoly-
SIS ensues, and a brown sticky paste
that has all the nutritive qualities Of
commercial beef extract is produced.
According to the chemist 1t Is the
reast that transforms the inorganic

he "stone SOUP" and pronounced It
rood. They even declared that 1t was
fully equal in nutrition and appear
ance to the market variety, and each
Of the samplers pronounced the odoz
remarkably beeflike.
Incidentally, the chemist announced
that the cost Of "stone SOUP" he called

from the OK or sheep - which, OF
course, was to be expected.
However, It can be assumed that
even If the substitute Is cheaper and

CORN WILL Win
DEMOCRACYS WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,0OO,O00,000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at q
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the Sole ration of
the Continental soldiers
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine Oh
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-usirg corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment TO the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war.
There are a score Of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
graduated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils
is appearing on the market in largt
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

AN INTERNATIONAL HAT

WHEN Senator j. Hamilton Lewis but
w toned up his amethystine vest and
adjusted his elephants breath spats and
took his gold-headed cane firmly in hand
and departed radiantly overseas to assure
himself tina there were no weak spots in
the Allied lines and that the navies of
| civilization were properly disposed, he did
| not receive a Distinguished Service medal
or a ". c. or yet the Croix de Guerre. IIis-
| tory must explain, in calmer hours than
these, this grievous lapse of kings and
presidents.
Yet Senator j. Ham was decorated He
was decorated in Piccadilly, where a Lon
don haberdasher, touched in the sensitive
heart that all London haberdashers have
by the charm and stateliness of the visitor
from afar, and moving in a sudden blaze
of emotion, thrust upon him a hat. The
hat was given without reward or price.
1t is no ordinary hat. Indeed, there is said
TO be no other hat like it in all this wide
and various world. 1t is a high hat of
silk and of the color of cream-a neutral
tone best fitted to catch and radiate in a
colorless world the glad lights of morn
ing and the dim effulgence Cf glorious eve.
The brim. is broad. The crown is higher
than that of any other hat. There are
rich ribbons upon it. He who made 1t had
held it at the kingly price of six quid.
The emotional tumult In which Senator
Ham returned with the Hat would make
it appear that tears may have been shed
at the oestowal. Hands were wrung.
Senator Lewis does not deny that his
heart melted at the overwhelming demon
s~tration of international amity that he
met with in Piccsdilly. The Hun heard of

pursued this course to the end he could
have been forgiven much that he has done

Indications of a Dry Spell

DOTH the House and the Senate have
- voted to make the nation dry" after
June 80 of next year. The proposition is
in the form of a rider to the agricultural
appropriation bill. The manufacture Of
light wines must cease on May 1 and the
sale of all intoxicating beverages must end
on June 30 if the President approves the
plan. The House has attempted to make
an exception in favor of imported wines,
as the State Department has informed
Congress that the ambassadors of France
and Italy have called attention to the fact
that the prohibition of the sale of all
wines will seriously affect the wine.growers
of their countries, who export large guam
titles to the United States. But the House
voted down the proposed amendment.
The form in which the House and the
Senate have approved the "bone.dry"
measure differs. Conference committees
have been appointed to harmonic the diff
ferences. 1t seems to be certain tina the
sale of all forms of intoxicants will cease
at the end of next June.
No one knows just when the sale of beer
will stop. The President, acting under the
authority conferred on him by the food
conservation law, has decreed that all
brewing operations must cease on Decem-
Der l of this year, and that after October
l no beer may be brewed save from malt
and hops now in the possession of the
brewers. The decree includes "near.beer'
