70DAY'S TABLOID TALE

The only difference between
Cantilever Binding and Roscoe

always agreed with everybody

have preferred jail to a heated

ABOUT SEDITION.

1t IS the duty of every patriotic
citizen OF New Britain to assist the
authorities in running down trouble
makers, dissatisfaction spreaders,
disloyal persons and others who en-
gage in reasonable activities. We
believe there are today right here In
town a number of men and women
who are giving comfort to the enemy
by INDUCING in seditious utterances
and the only way we can put a stop
to their nefarious work is by notify
ing the police the minute we hear
anyone say anything or see anyone
do anything which is disloyal or un-
patriotic. We owe allegiance to our
country and each enemy Of the
country IS our enemy Their pres
ence in our midst and the freedom
Of action and speech they enjoy
place the nation in peril. We must
help nul1ify that peril by being on
the alert for such activities and If
we do not notify the proper authori-
ties INN ediately we learn of them
we are not doing our duty and we are
almost as culpable as the perpetra-
tors.

Bread Without White Flour.

It is predicted that in less than q
year from now practically no white
flour will be milled In this country,
A flour containing a larger per
cent OF the grain will take it's place
much to the advantage of the
American people. Even at the pres
ent time we are becoming accus-
toned to much less white wheat flour
than we have previously used in our
breadnaxing. The necessity of saw
ing wheat for the use Of our Atlles
has brought about this change. At
the same time, the manufacture and
introduction Of small hand grist- mills
is helping to make the. use Of whole
ground grains more popular. By this
method a wheat flour can be pro-
dnced which has practically the
same composition as the wheat grain
itself.
Resides making necessary the use
Of wheat f1ours containing large
percentage of the wheat grain, the
present and prospective shortages in
wheat products makes the extended
use of other cereal grains patriotic
duty. There are many tempting and
delicious varieties of dark bread, all
more healthful and satisfying than
the white breads. By using rye, corn
meal, and oats. we shall be able to
effect a large saving.
Here are suggestions for the use Of
such substitutes for wheat flour:
Raisin War Bread.
Into a mixing bowl or bread mixer
put one tablespoon of shortening,
enc tablespoonful of white strip, and
one and one-haif teaspoonfuls of
salt Over these ingredients pour one
pint Of potato water (the water in
which peeled potatoes have been
bciled.) Cool till it is lukewarn1 and
add one cake Of yeast softened in
one fourth cupful of lukewarm wa
ter. Stir in three pints Of entire
wheat or Graham flour and one cup
full Of raisins. Let rise and when
light, knead down, put in pans, and
when it has risen again bake one
hour in a moderate oven. Dried Der
ries or other dried fruits may be
used instead of raisins.
Four times Mullins,
Mix together thoroughly one cuI-
FIJI white bread flour. one cupful
whole wheat -four one cupful rye

one-ha1f teaspoonfuls salt, four, tea
spoonfuls baking powder, and one
fourth cupful brown sugar or sirup.

U. 5. POOR EMPLOYER

"Shall the nations capital become a
national sweatshop?" asks the Wash
ington Herald in an editorial calling
attention to low wages received by
government employees.
"Uncle Sam is becoming the worst
employer in the country, at a time,
too, when workers in all other lines
have been lettering their conditions,
or at least striving to keep up with
the cost of living" says this paper.
"Families of government employees
In Washington are only able to live by
the combined labor of all the men,
bers. Mothers and daughters must
go out of the home to work Nearly
every government employe is doing
extra work or trying to obtain it.
Many serve as ushers in movie shows,
as night watchmen, as sweepers and

WHY BONUS PLAN PAYS

The belief that a bonus to workers
is the result of sentiment is given a
rude shock by the following, taken
from the financial page of the New
York Times:
1.-THE popular impression that the
annual bonus which great many
financial institutions are in the habit
Of giving to their employees at the
end of the year is in the nature of
something for nothing, a free-will Of
fering topping liberal salary, is
wrong. The bonus originated as
profit-sharing scheme to reward clerks
for extra tasks imposed upon them in
busy seasons and not contemplated
when their wages were fixed. The
Wall street employe must take the
lean with the fat, which means that
he must cheerfully miss his regular
train home night after night for so
long as business runs above normal.
When business is good he works many
hours overtime, and his year-end gift
is large; when times are dull he
shares part of the cost by receiving
a smaller bonus. A banker who has
always urged upon his directors the
distribution of liberal sums each
Christmas says that as result he
almost never loses an employee, and
can get more work done in an emer-
gency than he has any right to expect
from a.. force twice as large"
