SAY eoopBY TO DoueHNu1
Soaks Up Fat Which Can Be Put &c
eetter Use. Is Judgment
Of Hoover.

The doughnut is doomed, says the
indianapolis News. Recent intima.
tons of disapproval by the food nd
ministration Of this matutinal cOnfec
ton might have been regarded as n
spur to conservation and u threat thai
would not be carried out unless as u
last resort. Bakers IRE prohibited In
making bread or rolls from adding
sugar or fats to the dough during the
baking or afterward. Some difference
of opinion us to what are rolls has
given the doughnut u respite, but 1t is
to be shortlived, according to the state
food administrator, who brings this
significant news from Washington:
This ruling gives sweet dough goods
a temporary lease of life only. Mr..
Hoover has special grudge against
doughnuts. They soak up fat which
we do not need and our allies are suf.
fering for. So doughnuts and frying
pan foods will shortly be taboo and
we must not eat or make them until
the war is over.
Thus is the fate of the doughnut
sealed. Mr.. Hoover is known as de.
termined man who cannot be moved
from a course which he thinks will
serve the interests of his country. The
statement, however. that the food ad.
ministrator has grudge against the
doughnut will pain many who have
peculiarly strong fondness for 1t as an
accompaniment of the morning meal,
though Mr.. HOOver's animus may
arise from motives of patriotism, not
prejudice.
If the government says the dough.
nut must go out of our lives, then &C
it must. But there will be some natu.
raj regret at parting with an old and
fried friend. The doughnut, like pie,
has become part of our common life.
Many will find breakfast without sink.
