WHY Is a Guinea HEMP

Whoever designed the guinea hen
and composed the music for her vo-
cal organs must have used a rasp for
the tuning fork. Guinea hens and their
husbands are alike In appearance;
when you've seen one you've seen the
other. Their plumage is of one and
the same piece of goods like the
Quakers' If ever you have INDUCED
In filing the teeth of a cross-cut saw
you've heard the synonym of her mel
ody. Nature produced this variety
of fowl and the farmer who gives her
board and lodging is no good Chris
tian. 1 say this because any man
who sells you a guinea hen as youth
full and tender, has designed to skin
you. / have a dim recollection Of
tasting one many years ago, and I will
say this-the gravy was quite ten
der.
A group Of guineas running to keep
out of harms way, resembles a streak
of ten-cent calico Of somber hue, with
polkadots. The guinea hen lays a
very small egg with spots on 1t sim
liar to those we see at cheap gro
Gerry stores in fly time.
The eggs have no rating in the COM
mercial world. They are used exclu-
sively for Matching more trouble

AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

eve have already exported the
whole Of the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands, of our own population. It Is
necessary, therefore, for the food ad-
ministratiOn to restrict export OF wheat
SO as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume of saving made by the Amer.
lean people in their consumption OF
wheat and wheat products.
1--WE continued wheat shipments FOL
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations durisg the month Of December

war BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $2OO,OOO,OOO toward the cost OF
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lOwerNtOday to the consumer
than In America. incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over ell
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for o cents.
In milling. however, IA. per cent.
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is COM
pulsory adulteration Of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteratiOn Of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about IS per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar. but with a larger extrac-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 18
cents.

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares II Is an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe Is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send it
if the war is to go on efficiently. If
we eat it all we cannot ship it, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve II
they do not get it, the food administra-
ton states.
"For the least bit Of heedlessness
on your part i'm food Conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
fer privation," an official statement
declares. 1.-THE food administration
has mastered the problem Of Ameri-
cas- food In such way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach In Europe.
ut is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
food means life; 1t means some
body's life, and you cannot escape re-
sponsibility.

she WAS A PROUD WAITRESS
Girl Drafted to Meet an Emergency
Declined to Pick Up Fork
0roppedby Guest.

The pride of the average American
girl is quite as noticeable among
farmers daughters as any other class.
This is illustrated by the experience
of resident of neighboring state
who, according to Osteopathic Maya
zine, with a weekend company of
guests on his hands, was left on Sat-
urday without a waitress to serve the
elaborate meals that had been planned.
After good deal of persuasion he sue
ceeded in getting the consent Of a
neighboring farmers daughter to help
out in the emergency although she had
never done anything of the kind. He
assured her she would be well paid
and that all she would have to do
would be to answer the call of the bell
perform the required service and leave
the room.
AS the company was seating itself
at the table one of the men hit a fork
with his elbow, knocking it to the floor.
The host touched the bell and as the
door into the kitchen opened and the
girl stuck her head inquiringly into the
room, he said: "The gentleman
dropped a fork" indicating the loca-
ton with a motion of his hand.
The girl stepped fully into the room
and with mingled establishment and
Indignation said: "You don't mean ter
say you rung that bell just ter. have
me come in an pick up that fork, dc
yer? OF all things! If he's too lazy
to pick 1t up himself, you can let II
lay there. I won't touch it." Their

door.

The livelieSt pets, perhaps In all

Lady" the dignified collie, scurry
across her back, perhaps to leap from
there to the shoulder of some member
Of the family. They "sass" the cat to
her face and she seems to understand
that they are privileged characters.
They are fond of chocolate and are
neither diffident nor lack "cheek" when
their wonderful little smellers tell
them that something good is on the
family table. But the fun begins when

alteration or resentment anywhere.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
Of 1913 as a basis of comparison.
There was a shortage Of 176,O0O,OOO
bushels, or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third OF nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit of 67.9 per cent. Her meat
herds In the early fall showed short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In the war.

The life Of plant varieties grown
from seed, in their pure and original
forms, is very short, notes betanist.
They soon pass in slightly different
forms and the process is constantly

WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD.

Wheat-cOrn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands Of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed -four
bread, and in so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here's a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and half
cups of milk, water or mixture Of
the two; One-half cake compressed
yeast, one and half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
Of fat If desired, one cup cOrnmeal
and two cups wheat -four.
Put one and a half cups OF water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat Qf
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water is suh-
cient only to soften the meal little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
-four and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place In pan OF stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 45 or 90 min
utes. 1t Is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage Of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread 80
made differs very little from baked
,mush. Less cOrnmeal can be used
and in sucn case the general meth
cd given above maybe followed.
1t is possible to make yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four 'cupfuls OF -four. In other re
spects the bread Is mixed and baked
as In the above recipe.
