WHEAT-AS-FLOUR
RULES UNCHANGED
Hoover's Recent Action
Does Not Alter the
Regulations
'FIFTY-FIFTY"
RULE IS STILL ON

WASHINGTON, July 30-The food ad-
ministratlon made It doubly plain yes
terday that the action OF Herbert Hoo
yer in releasing the proprietOrs OF pub
lio eating places on August 1 from
their voluntary pledge 10 use no wheat
until the present harvest does not
change the wheat or flour regulation in
any way.
Mr.. Hoover's csblegram was concern
ed only with the voluntary pledge and
applies equally TO housewives who
periodically put their homes on a
wheatless basis last spring, when the
needs OF the Allied nations demanded a
great reduction in the American con-
sumption Of wheat products.
Baking or flour purchase regulations
remain unaltered as none OF these regu-
lations require either public editing
places or domestic consumers to forego
the use Of wheat products entirely.
The baking regulations which re-
main in force, require the use OF 25 per
cent, Of wheat substitutes in the max
ing Of victory bread. Fifty per cent. Of
wheat substitutes must be used by bak-
ers in pies, cakes, doughnuts and the
so-cslled quick breads.
The domestic consumers are concern
ed principally with the flour purchase
regulations, the famous "lfty-afty'
rule. AS this win be in force, house
wives Will continue to purchase an
equal weight Of wheat substitutes with
their wheat flour.
In a brief statement the food admin
istration held out little hope that the
regulations could be removed because
Of tho big wheat crop. The statement
said:
The coming in Of the new wheat
crop has made IL possible for the ma
ton to go back partially to its old hab-
its OF eating. But the uncertainties OF
war and the necessity for building up
a food reserve are incentives OF eau
ton. even in the face Of a good crop.
"The response OF the American
housewife last spring, when the coun-
try's wheat reserves were exhausted,
and only wheat saved by abstinence
could be sent abroad in response to the
life-snd-desth appeals Of the Allies, is
regarded by the food administration as
one OF the finest manifestations OF pa
triotic spirit slnce America entered the
war. Hundreds OF thousands Of homes
went partly or wholly on a wheatless
basis"

e0uUDoNf rca fE Sffh11 fkHS,
tFrom The frankfort Zeltung.)

(From the Frankfort Zeitung)
We do not approve OF the idea, and
many Germans will be OF the same
opinion, that the Kaiser should have
started the war and should continue II
with the sole object OF establishing
German supremacy over the world.
On August 4, 1914, the German peo-
pie were not told that they were go
ing to war TO combat Anglo-SaXon SUI
premacy. Had they been told that, had
even the slightest allusion been made
to such an idea, the will Of the Ger
man nation would not have been unan-
imous, and the union which the Kaiser
has always striven for would have been
destroyed from the first day.
Every individual German has cher
ished the belief that the fatherland was
in peril. and each man left for the bat
tleneld solely with the object Of de-
Tending his workshop, his home, bis
wife and his children.
He would not have gone had he
thought that aggression only was the
aim OF the war-makers.

FROM PHILIP COLE

Pennington friends received Il let
ter this week from Philip Cole who is
in France. 1t as dated Sept. %, a few
days after the big push began. Phil
ip wrote the letter, so he said, in a
dugout by the light of a candle. He
was keeping himself warm by small
fire in bacon can. The people at
home may realize what our soldiers
are undergoing if they will think how
they would feel if they were faring
this way. Philip had just received a
copy of The Times, bearing the cleo
ton news, which he was very anxious
to hear. He expressed himself that
he was sure both parties had selected
good men to represent them IN the
several offices. He also expressed his
desire, and also the desire of many
other soldiers in France, that the peo-
pie at home stand behind and back
up President Wilson. Philips work
consists of caring for those wounded
on the battle field. His address Is
168th Field Hospital, 117th Sanitary
Train, A. E. F., France.
LETTER FROM ROY BENTLEY
A letter was received by relatives this
week from Roy Bentley who is in
France, cooking for Uncle Sans
troops. He was working hard but had
a good place to sleep, with three blan-
kets, and had plenty to eat. The
weather over there was disagreeable
some times, he said, especially when it
rained. Winter is said to be severe
but plenty of warm clothes are pro-
vided the troops. Roy's company,
the night before, had gotten 100 pris-
oners, and few days before had cap
tured a German aeroplane. 1t seems
from this that he is "hooked up" with
a bunch of real fighters. He said he
was getting used to the shells now
and that after a while over there one
would get so that he would not notice
them. His address is Cook Roy Bent
ley, Supply Co., S54 Inf, A. E. f.
The Times is in receipt of a card
from Private James P. McLane, Am.
r. C. Military Hospital No. /, in
France, urging St. Francois county to
do her best with the Liberty Bond
sales, which she did. He says "See
that old st. Francois county does her
bit. as | know she will and always
has" On the front of the card sup
ply base of provisions with stacks and
stacks of food for the soldiers with
the words, 1--WE eat lots of chow over
here, and Liberty Bonds pay. for it,"
with the words, Liberty Bonds, heav-
lily UNDERSIGNED, was seen.

DOINGS AT THE Y. M. c. A.
AT FLAT RIVER

Secretary Marsh of the Y. M. G. A.
who is the Government recruiting
agent for this district, has received a
notice from the u. S. Department of
Labor, that nobody shall be permitted
to recruit labor except regularly au-
thorized agents.
The newest organization in the Y.
M. C. A. is the Yellow Dogs. 1t is a
secret Organization of men who are
living in the building, and whose aims
are to promote the high life of the ca
nine whose name they carry. They
have an extensive ritual which aside
from being very interesting is also IN
structive. The Sheriff. of st. Fran
co.'s County is hereby notified that II
anv of tho members of this Fraterni-
ty are caught barking along the street,
it is not hydrophobia but the higher
type of culture that is inculated by
this order. The Yellow Dogs will
have a frisky and noisy bow-bow time
on the 3rd floor of the Y. M. c. A.
building Halloween night, to which
the public is cordially invited.
Halloween Notice
Providing the ban on public meet
ings is lifted in time, the Y. M. =. A.
building. on Halloween night, will be
visited by all the spookes witches,
black cats, and rattiesnakes IN the
State of Missouri. This extraordin-
ary concourse will be open to the pub
lie of the Lead Belt. People who are
historical or who are not immune
against snake bites should attend.
The Order of Sinner Halloween is
giving this free to the public. Ladies
are expected to come without their
hats and the men folks to bring their
snake medicine along. Providing the
influenza lid is not lifted, this func-
ton will be postponed for few days.
The new Bowling Alleys are pro-
viding very popular pastime and prac-
tically all of the lead companies are
organizing bowling teams. 1t is the
intention of the bowling department
to open a preseason tournament for
five men teams in the near future.
Organizations wishing to belong
should get busy with their lineup.
A line of films has been received ev-
cry week for our new moving picture
machine, but on account OF the ban
on public meetings they have not
been used. The machine has been
thoroughly tested and adjusted and is
in first class condition.
Members of the Y. M. c. A., on ac-
count of the Army draft, has fallen
to 300. The Association has lost close
to 100 of its members on account Of
the war. The Membe, ship Committee
is sure that the people of the Lead
Belt will see to it that there is no
lacking in membership support. This
should be done if for no other reason
than to maintain the home institution
on high basis until the boys come
home. They have entered a cam
paign to increase the membership to
400 by the first of December, this
campaign to begin Immediately.

women are asking on potato problems
l In making potato quch breads.

bread Is often too moist. Is there any
way in which one can gauge the moisture
OF potatoes?
Ans The only gauge one may have
for the moisture content ot the cooked
potatoes Is one Of judgment i POTATOES

will contain more moisture than # thcy
stand until the next day and are then
substituted Tor part Of tho -four Ii cakes

? In eating a great many potatoes
isn't there danger 81 making the diet
starchy?
Ans The diet viii not be too starchy
with the increased consumption Of p0ta-
toes if the amount OF bread ordinarily
eaten is reduced and il the other foods in
the daily meals are right, including some
milk, eggs or meat some fresh vegetable
or fruit One reason for eating more
potatoes now IS to decrease the consump-
tion Of wheat One medium-sizcd potato
may replace two small slices Of wheat
bread
3. Doesn the large amount Of water
in potatoes make bread less nutritious
than all-whcat bread
Ans. In making potato bread, the
fact that potato Is threc-quarters water
must be considered otherwise the dough
would be entirely too soft Recipes take
account of this by reducing the amount Of
liquid accordingly, 50 that the per cent Of
dry material in the dough for wheat flour
bread and for potato bread is just about
the same In addition, potatoes afford
certain body regulating substances which
refined wheat -four does nof contain
