GLORIES OF GINGERBREAD
NOT ALL DUE TO ECONOMY

~LEVER Ameri lean hostesses
score social success in all
~ sorts of ways. but i was
rather surprised when l heard of an
American diplomatist's wife in Tur-
key not long ago who achieved rare
social distinction with batch OF
gngerbread. It was when food prices
were simply outrageous. Sugar vas
Collars a pound and many other com
moli,ics were priced Accordingly or
quite impossible to get at all. IT was
sowevcr, to the advantage or TINS
American dlplomatist that he ana MS
wife should give some sort OF evening
}arty 20 a few of the Amerit an ami
English residents Of the rp'kisl,
town where they were located. .
The clever wife might have had no
rr'r.shments whatever. for most host
eSsos had given them up entirely, but
instead she decided on gingerbread
There was apparently molasses to be
had and enough other ingredients TO
make a decent sort of gingerbread
and had she served the rarest OF del
cac.es She could not have pleased her
guests more than she did in offering
them this simple American cake.
Gingerbread or molasses cake has
wartime possibilities that We ought
not 20 lose sight of. IN the first place
F. may he made with little or no sugar
because OF the sweetness of molasses
Moreover the fact that II is dark In
color makes possible the use OF any
o. he darker or Coarser flour subsu-
'ltas IN a way that would not yield
Slch good results in white cake
Then, too the strong flavor OF ginger
and nolasses renders unapparent the
1avor Of any of the flours that might
be less suitable in a more delicate
cake. Moreover, gingerbread may be
made with hot water instead of milk
which makes a good emergency cake
'or the day when you have no milk
On hand, and either gingerbread OF
no,asses cake can be made with sour
MIX which makes II an economy

nour for thickening meat gravy
Corn starch is an excellent substi-
tute and so Is rice -four. The Food
Administration recommends fne corn
meal for dredging meat
IL you feel the burden OF going with
out wheat flour remember that there
are just as many people who would
feel keenly the lack OF corn meal prod
ucts even If as substitute they had
as much as they wanted of wheat
-four. and there are more persons who
would miss rice under similar condi-
tons. 1t is a matter of food habit, not
bodily requirement, that is causing you
your uneasiness over the wheat con-
! servation.
| No cereal, not even wheat, is. a per-
feet diet in itself Many people are
eating too much cereal because they
seem to think that II Is an act of
patriotism in itself to eat the "substi-
tutes." All cereals need to be supple
mented with other foods. No cereal
diet is complete without milk, fruit and
green vegetables.
Cottage cheese. although made of
skim milk, is In class with lean meat
and eggs and is actually more valuable
than either. says the Department Of
Agriculture, In material that goes to
build muscle, blood and bone.
Macaroni Is off the list of patriots
foods. At best it contains a good deal
Of wheat. There Is hardly a dish in
which rice cannot be substituted for
macaroni TO good advantage.
! Although in France and other war
ridden countries OF Europe II Is an act
OF patriotism for healthy adults not to
use milk in the diet, in our own coun-
try milk is abundant and one OF the
foods that we are urged at present to
use freely.

Home Papers and Market

Never before in American his.
tory has the question of home
and native land been so mu1h i'm.
pressed upon the thoughts and
necessities Of the American peO
pie. Paramount with this ques'
tion and the maintenance of our
home institutions lies the ques,
ton of what we receive for our
daily toll and our farm products.
Your home paper, The Mans
field Mirror, stands for initial
principles of home with all of it's
implied meaning and should
come first in your assistance and
patronage. The question of what
you receive for your cattle, hogs
sheep, wheat and general farm
products will depend largely up
on your own acumen One Of the
necessary things is to keep
thoroughly posted on the mar
kets. Your home paper and the

From Credit to Cash

On account of the advance in
the price of merchandise, it re-
quires so much capital to keep
our stock up that we are obliged
to change our business into q
cash business. My health is
poor and I cannot see to keep
books, and to hire a bookkeeper
makes more expense, and every
store that does a credit business
has some loss from bad accounts.
BY selling for cash, we can sell
you merchandise a little cheap.
er; therefore, we want you to
make our store headquarters
and we will try to make it to
your interest to trade with US,
by selling our merchandise at
bottom prices. We thank you
for the liberal patronage you
have given US during the last 90
years and still solicit your busi'
ness. ]. D. Reynolds,

MANY FACES MISSING
FROM THE OLD TOWN
SOME MAY NOT RETURN
The Folks at Home VIII Remember
Them When Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaigns Opens Sept. az.

Have you noticed that the old
town isn't altogether what 1t used to
he? That somehow there is differ.
ence when you go down the street?
That the old places are more sub
dued and quiet; less busy and noisy?
That go where you will, the club, the
bowling ally, the billiard parlor, any
where, there is the same subtle sense
OF change!
The old voices no longer hail you
with such eager challenge, such roy.
al welcome, such whole souled good
fellowship; the old smiles no longer
greet you so warmly and the old
hand claps on the shoulder no longer
bring you the same old sense of COM
radeship and friendly interest Some
thing seems 10 have slipped silently
out of life.
For scores of the old faces are
missing: faces that you knew and
loved the best.
They are "over there" in the khaki
clad ranks that are slowly pushing
the gray Hun line backward toward
the Rhine. They are taking up the
burden of civilization, of democracy
and freedom; the liberation Of a half
world threatened with enslavement;
the perpetuation Of our own national
liberty and safety. The overthrow
of kaiserdom.
And some Of them are never to
come back!
None of US will ever forget these
missing faces; the faces of our
friends, our brothers. and sweet
hearts, our husbands and fathers. All
of us will hope to welcome them
home again. triumphant from the fir
ing line, the Jaws of death. the lit
eral mouth of the inferno.
Nor must any of US forget them
in the coming Fourth Liberty Loan
dyve.
For 1t is to strengthen them and
their fight, to hurry their ultimate
victory and to speed their return,
that these bonds are to be offered.
That and that alone.
Remember these missing faces
these faces that we love.
And begin at once your saving for
the Fourth loan.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
It viii Open Its Campaign Sept. %
and viii Close Oct. 10.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September 28
and close October 10. The result Of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the Teu-
tonic powers but by our enemies. It
will be regarded by them as meas
ure of the American peoples support
of the war.
The Germans know full we'll the
tremendous weight and Significance
Of popular support Of the war, of the
people at home backing up the Army
in the field. AS the loan succeeds
our. enemies will sorrow; as 1t falls
short they will rejoice. Every dol,
lar subscribed will help and encour-
age the American soldiers and hurt
and depress the enemies Of America.
The loan will be Il test of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people Of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness Of our
soldiers to do their part There must
be and will be no failure By the peo,
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe, Many
of them have given up their lives:
shall we ut home withhold our
money? Shall we spare our dollars
while they spare not their very lives?

When The Fourth Liberty Loan

Every day the newspapers tell OF
some one or another of the lanks
having been awarded the cross or
war for conspicuous bravery in ac-
tlon. Every day these same dis
patches carry the story of some lntre-
pid charge against the enemy trench
es, the storming of some machine
gun nest, the taking of another town
OF two in desperate hand to hand
fighting. And our hearts swell with
pride that 1t is so.
Equally appreciative of their Prov
ess are the allied leaders. "Yotl
have shown yourselves to be worthy
sons of your great country and have
gained the admiration OF your broth
ers in arms" declared General Man
gin the other I y in AN official Or
der thanking the Yanks for their part
in the last great thrust against the
Huns.
General Mangln voiced the senti-
ments OF the entire membership OF
the allied general staff. For the
Yanks have made good with ven
geance.
We are wholly justified in being
proud of them We can look the
whole world In the eye. knowing they
rank with the finest. We can Justly
feel again that the traditions of
American arms have been upheld;
that In the eyes Of the world Amer
lea no longer stands accused Of paci-
fism at the cost Of honor; OF meek
submission to the ruthless arrogance
of any people drunk with power.
Once more we may hold up our
heads, square our shoulders, take a
reef In our trousers and intimate to
the world at large that it's a danger
GUS pastime to tread upon the tail Of
our coat.
Thanks to the khaki-clad ranks.
And shortly we are to have an op-
portunity to prove Just how much we
value our newfound standing in the
eyes of the world. To repay. indi-
rectly, these restorers Of our national
self-respect.
For the Fourth Liberty Loan is
very close at hand. The campaign
will open Sept 28 and continue for
three weeks.
Make your tribute to their bravery
substantial one.
Begin early to prepare for this.
