Baking with Wheat Savers.

Wheat saving need not involve hard
ship. Nor is there danger Of hunger
for lack of bread. Abundant crops of
other cereals are available to mix with
wheat -four In making palatable and
nutritious breads. If every housewife
would use some substitute for wheat
flour In whatever bread, biscuits, pas
try, and SO on she prepares. the neces-
sary saving in wheat would be accom-
plished. In Farmers Bulletin 955 of
the department of agriculture COM
plete directions are given for making
bread, biscuits, mullins, cookies and
various kinds of pastry in which wheat
flour substitutes are used.
In yeast bread as much as 25 per
cent flour or meal from other grains
or from dried peas, beans, potatoes,
nuts, and so on may well be used, the
publication says, and as much as so
per cent in quick" or hot breads pro-

POTATO RECIPES
FOR FAMILY USE
Millions of Bushels of Good Food
Will Be Lost Unless Con-
sumed Quickly. .ses@
MADE 4 DUTY and PLEASURE
Some Menus Worked Out by Experts
Without Allowing Them to Be-
come Monotonous-Others Are
Easily Obtainable.

Do you know that there are mill
lions of bushels of potatoes in the
United States in excess of the usual
supply at this time of year, and that,
unless people generally eat more pota-
toes than they ordinarily do, millions
of bushels of good food will be lost
at n time when nearly the whole world
Is suffering for food? Potatoes are
bulky and heavy and cannot well be
transported over seas. The United
States must eat its own potatoes and
release other foods for export.
Eating potatoes every day is duty
and eating potatoes every meal can
be made pleasure. Following are
some recipes, worked out by the cook
ing experts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, covering
every meal for two days. Similar
recipes. both economical and palatable,
have been worked out covering every
meal for a week.
For breakfast: ~
Potato omeiet.
l cupful mashed po- teaspoonful salt
\ '1sa teaspoonful pep esSsi tablespoonful. of
per. cream or milk.
Wash eggs and separate the white
and yolks. Add the yolks to the potato
and beat until there are no Jumps.
Season with onion juice, II desired,
and chopped parsley. Beat the whites
until stiff and fold into the potato
mixture. Put into a well-oiled frying
pan and bake in oven until brown.
Then turn and fold on hot platter.
Serve at once.
For lunch or supper:
Potato and Corn chowder.
I pint canned corn. l small onion chop
: cupfuls potato potato cut :, ped.
cupfuls skim milk per.
2 ounces salt pork. III tablespoonfuls of
cornstarch.
The salt pork should be cut into
small pieces and cooked with the
chopped onion until the onion is
golden brown. Add the potato and
cook for ten minutes. Add the milk
and corn and cook slowly In a double
boiler. Add the flour mixed to
smooth paste with an equal amount of
cold water. Add the pepper and addi-
tional salt II necessary. Cook until
the mixture is creamy.
For dinner:
Drowned Potatoes With Roast Beef.
Parboil potatoes for ten minutes.
Remove the skins and place the pota-
toes on roasting rack with meat.
Bake them for about 40 minutes, or
until the potatoes are tender, basting
them occasionally with the juice In
the pan.
Use the leftover potatoes to make
potato cakes. They are very good
served for breakfast with crisp slices
of bacon. Brown them in the bacon
tat.
Potato Cakes.

toes to taste with salt and pepper, and
mix with little milk. Add egg, IL

Substitutes for Sugar.

Satisfactory substitutes for sugar
may be used to much larger extent.
These include sorghum, corn and cane
sirup, maple sugar and sirup. and
honey. The maple sirup and sugar
production can and should be in
creased in those areas in which maple
trees are growing in sufficient numbers
to warrant the expenditure of the nee
essary time and labor. Maple sirup
and sugar are produced in 10 states,
the annual output exceeding 100000
pounds of sugar and 100000 gallons
Of sirup. These figures can be In
creased. The production Of sorghum
sirup in 1917 exceeded that In 1915 by
nearly 100000 gallons. Sorghum
sirup may be produced In nearly every
state in the Union. An increased pro-
duction of sorghum sirup will enable
the public still further to conserve the
sugar supply in the most available
form for transportation to our soldiers.

QUESTIONABLE has not reached him. They
expect within a few days that he or
some relative will appear at the local
board office to straighten out the situa-
tion. If this occurs, then Washington
county win have clean slate, like that

The SIicker Scandal.

| While agents of the department of JUS
tice are rounding up Harry Lazarus ct
al, charged with implication in the So
called slicker scandal, the Senate COM
mittee on military affairs should be
quick to apply its probe and lay bare the
blame that attaches to hboris disloyal
minority and to those governmental
agencies which have supinely surrendered
/ to its demands. One of the reasons that

are producing raincoats for the army
and discovered a considerable number of
employees who were deliberately doing
poor work in connection with cementing
the seams skimping their work in order
| to swell their pay enyelopes-an this
| in spite of the fact that these men are
making from sixty to seventy dollars a
week The officer ordered them dismissed
at once and barred from future war
i work, on the ground that they could not
be trusted and were unworthy of con.
sideration. Their unions protested to
Washington, and the next thing the man
ufacturers knew they were in receipt Of
an order from one of Secretary Bakers
labor boards ordering all these employees
reinstated. Since that time employees
caught doing exactly what the army Of
| ficer ordered them dismissed for doing
cannot be dismissed. Hence they have
gone on turning out raincoats that will
not shed water.
| 1t r. true that arrests in the New York
district indicate an extensive system of
/ bribery of factory inspectors not army
officers-who pass as perfect raincoats
with seams improperly cemented. The
department of justice gives promise that

in that conspiracy. There is no evidence,
however, that anybody in or out of the
war department is going to proceed
against labor's disloyal minority, the cul
