In the few moments | shall engage
your attention will content myself
to deal with that brief space OF time
between April G, 1917, the date of
our entrance into the war. and the
present.
America Is at war. Five million
men are being called to service. A
million and three quarters OF them
are now n'the western front, fight
ing the battles of the republic-that
democracy and free government may
live. America has been in the war
II months. In treasure and blood
she Is making every sacrifice that
goes with war.
America Generous. America Willing.
America Actually Doing Her
Full Part.
How proud 1t must make every
American feel to know that he lives
In a country so strong, so able, so
willing. and so generous. as to helm
the struggling nations of the earth
preserve the liberties OF mankind.
The United States have, up to Sep
tember 2, 1918, executed loans to
our allies engaged In this great CON
flict to the amount OF S7.092,04O. 900.
Thus II will be observed that in ship
building, in railroad building, trans
portation OF troops and supplies, in
carrying every burden incident to
this great conflict. in each time
America has stood erect to duty the
day that duty called-she has per-
formed her full part. History's
pages can not fail to record and give
full credit to her great achievements
and her great ability to do and TO
achieve.

Explaining the United States Food

ulations is a war time task the Ameri-
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer Is now reQuir-
ed to buy one pound of cereal substi-
tute for every pound of wheat flour.
The substitute may be Of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale is made by
weight and not by value of the COM
modities, There is, of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn -four,
edible cornstarch. hominy. corn grits,
barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
-four, soya bean -four, Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat -four con-
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi-
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat flour
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat -four.
Mixed fiours form another excep-
ton. Where any -four contains so
per cent or less Of wheat 1t may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the -four is mixed at the rate of 60
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. OF
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
] prepared infants and invalid's food
containing -four may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for time.
For instance, If a customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of -four the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn
grits, pounds; rice, pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, pound !;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 8
pounds.
None Of the substitutes should be
considered as a waste purchase
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread. corn muf-
fms or used In the baking Of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch is useful in making Gus
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
in cake baking. Corn grits fried like

be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
