HOW TO USE BARLEY FLOUR
Home Economics Experts Tell How to
Get Good Results With It

Barley -four is the best cheapest and
most accessible substitute flour on the
market 1t is light colored and con-
tafns enough gluten to be used for
wheat -four in any kind of recipe ex-
cept, perhaps, yeast bread. The fol
lowing precautions should, however, be
observed In It's use:
1. Barley 1ours are not uniform IN
quality and the amount Of liquid to be
added varies a little.
2. Barley flour absorts more water
than wheat flour. therefore the barley
muffin or cake batter win seem little
sitter than If made with an equal
amount Of wheat -four
8. Since one cupful Of barley flour
weighs but three ounces. while one
cupful of wheat flour weighs four, the
-four should be sifted once and about
two tablespoonful more added to each
cupful Of -four called for.
4. The addition of egg is almost nee
essary to secure a good muffin or bis.
cult mixture made with barley.
5. The flavor of barley mixtures is
objectionable to some persons when
used alone. This may be overcome If
small amount of cornstarch, potat to
-four. corn -four, cornmeal or mashed
potatoes is substituted for part Of the
barley flour. A dash OF mace or nut
meg improves shortcake doughs-
6. The better texture and more mofs-
ture are obtained IN barley mixtures
If one-fourth cupful of cold mashed po-
tatoes are added with every cupful of
barley flour.
Z. Mullins. breads and cakes made
with barley and other substitute fiours
should bake longer and at lower TEN.
perature than those made with wheat
-four.

OUR RATION OF BEEF
is CUT WAY DOWN
We Can Eat Omy a Pound and a
Quarter a Week Until
September Is
ey hERRERT HOOVER.

To the Public:
The demands for beef for our army
and the allied armies and their civil
populations for this summer are be-
yond our present surplus On the 9TH
er hand, we have enough increased sup
ply Of pork this summer to permit eco
nomical expansion in its use. 1t Will
therefore be a direct service to our
army and the allies II our people
would. IN some degree substitute fresh
pork, bacon. hams and sxusages for
beef products
We request all hotels and restau-
rants not to place on their menus or
serve boiled beef more than two meals
weekly, beefsteak more than one meal
weekly, and roast beef more than one
meal weekly.
We ask householders not under any
circumstances to buy more than one
and one-quarter pounds Of clear beet
weekly, or one and one-haf pounds,
including the bone, per person in the
household.
The public VIII realize that the
changing conditions OF production from
season to season, the changing sitna'
ton in shipping, and therefore Of the
markets available to the allies, and
the increasing demands for. our grow
ing army, with the fluctuat1ng supply
Of local beef in France, all make II
impossible to determine policies for
long periods in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
In all meat consumption. We wish
now to emphasize further reduction
of beef, etc. It is anticipated that II
viii hold good until September 18th
1918, and the cooperation Of the public
is most earnestly requested.

WHEAT is NOT AN ESSENTIAL
ment for the Food Admin
! lstration.

DR.. Guflford 81. Sumner, secretary Of
the Iowa department Of health and
medical examiner Of the state, agrees
with the other health experts who
have assured Herbert Hoover and
Food Administrator Deems Of Iowa
that wheat -four is not essential to the
diet in order to preserve health and
maintain strength. In a stHtement r.
sued recently Doctor Sumner said, in
part:
wheat is not the most nutritious
substance which can be obtained, and
any Of the cereals such as oatmeal,
barley and rye may be substituted. In
animals, as, for instance, In the horse,
the same facts may be observed: The
English race horses, we'll fed with oats,
present a contrast to the puny Hun
garfan farm horses fed principally with
hay
'.The people Of this country have
learned to live upon fine -four, and
have noted this for some time, that
some Of the elements which are very
nutritious are taken away from the
wheat and the amount of nutrition
given is not what might be expected
or what we ought to have },
IT believe that we could eat large
quantities Of rice as a substitute for
wheat.
Il might say In this connection that
it would be well to advise the use of
milk, cottage cheese. for the dairy
products are natural food elements
and can be relied upon for human sus-
tenance; therefore, allow me to state
that the people Of the United States
could live year if necessary without
wheat entirely
