BARLEY Bread
SAMPLE SUBMITTED LACKS
MUCH OF IDEALTY-A
WEIRD PRODUCT.

j. f. Runchey showed us this
morning a sample of barley bread
and barley flour from which it was
made. He also cut the bread and al
lowed the reporter TO partake of a
small nibble. Until our necessity is
greater, or u patriotism intensifies
to the vanishing point of reason, that
small nibble is going to be enough.
Nearly anyone is willing to do some
thing toward the conservation of the
wheaton flour. But barley bread
well, it would make a good nostrum.
Millers have been making barley
flour for some time in the hope that
some method of baking can be found
whereby it will take the place of, at
least in a measure, OF wheat flour.
They have maintained laboratories,
and in them have experimental with
it pure and in all proportions of mix
ture. They have succeeded in turn
ing out a bread, but it lacks in color,
lightness and Wilderness all that
wheat bread offers to civilized man,
and further, has a barbaric flavor.
Mr.. Runchey has made several ex-
perimental bakings of the stuff in
different mixtures of wheat flour.
His nearest approach to success is
the sample shown today, which has
only 20 per cent-one-fifth-of bar
ley flour, mixed with wheat flour.
The flour itself looks much like
buckwheat flour. 1t is not yellow
nor gray nor white, but looks as
though there was dust on it. To
smooth ii under a steel blade, it
breaks into flakes like putty with too
little oil in it, and has not the fine
uct is yellow, and look glutinous-
and tastes funny" Mr.. Runchey
says that it will require less ferment-
alton, and raises well. But when put
into the oven il at once falls" and
the result is a heavy, fallen loaf of
bread.
Let us not be misunderstood,
however. The bread with 20 per
cent of barley flour is edible, and
probably nourishing. if n is not
particular. Under sufficient stress it
might be that a people could get
along with it. But when such a
bread saves only 20 per cen of the
wheat flour, and still is so far from
it in taste and probable nourishing
qualities, it is nonsense to try to use
it for domestic baking-unless the
sole idea is to cut down the con-
sumption by making a bread which
nobody likes or will eat. In that case
still greater saving could be effected
by getting dummy loaves of wood or
terra Gotta.

ANOTHER SHIPMENT
RED CROSS SHIPS ANOTHER
CONSIGN INTENT - WORK
GOES FORWARD.

With evidences of their accom-
plishments before us in the way of
things women a make for the COM
fort of soldiers, il strikes the average
man that women do not need to do
anything mannish to render material
| assistance in winning the war. Wom-
en- may yearn to do something spec
tacular, to become famous-to drive
an auto across shell holes and
through wire entanglements and
drag out a suffering soldier-but
there are men who are willing to do
that fits them for it. From the
| aforesaid evidences of their accom-
plishments women are giving as
great a service, though one not so
well calculated to make their indi-
vidual names headliners.
Contributing to the comfort of the
men across the water who are giving
their lives in defense of a people, the
Red Cross of Madison has been doing
much work. Women here cannot
make arms nor load shells with
| which to kill fellows on the other
side. In the east they can exercise
some of their surplus energy in this
direction, but not in this city. They
do something of equal Importance,
and a service which aids and COM
forts instead Of spreading wounds
and death. They furnish ease for
wounds and protection from cold
and without the things they make
and sent to the front many more men
would suffer and die.
Yesterday the Red Cross knitting
committee turned over to the pack
ing and shipping committee 54 pairs
of socks, "a sweaters, AZ scarfs and
81 pairs of wristlets. The total thus
far made and turned over are 295
pairs of socks, 303 sweaters, 222
scarfs and 274 pairs of wristlets.
The last former shipment of these
materials was on December IT. Thus
in a little more than a half of a
month, the last shipment 232 pieces
have been completed and forwarded.
The work goes on undated, or with
even an acceleration since the needle
work of the holiday season requires
less time from some of the inveterate
workers of knitted fabrics.

FUEL

To the Editor: For some time it
has been talked of that a good and
convenient way to save coal would
be to have only one church service in
each church on Sunday, or. to have
the churches combine their services.
This, on the face of 1t, looks very
feasible and would save fuel. Those
who make the suggestion, however,

do not seem TO know Just q little
fuel this would save. The writer
would gladly exchange the fuel bill
for heating his house for the winter
for the fuel bill Of the church. and
the evening service would hardly
make the difference of so cents
worth Of coal.
If, however, the community wants
to save fuel it can be done on a far
larger scale and to great advantage,
and may yet be ordered by the gov
eminent. Close the fifty or more
business places half an hour earlier
on five evenings a week, and at $50
temperature to 40 degrees, and in
one month as much will be saved i'm
heat and light as will run all the
churches all winter.
We have continual complaints
from business men that the public
will not do their trading till late Sat
urday night. This makes il almost
impossible to get up in good time on
Sunday morning. Why not give up
the country store way and take on a
little of the way business people of
the cities carry on their business and
close their stores at $50 on Satur-
day. And why keep business men
and clerks in stores when they have
a right to be at home. Other lines
of work are clamoring for an eight
hour day and getting it, why keep
the clerks working IL and 16 hours?
Save fuel and give the business peo-
pie a chance to have a little time at
home.
There is another source of saving.
We have in the city at least seven
places of recreation. entertainment
or amusement, besides the extra
shows, entertainments and dances.
Why not close these one day a week,
say Thursday, and cut out the ex-
tras. This would be a very great
saving in fuel, and if done in con-
junction with early closing would
make a tremendous saving in fuel.
1t is hardly an appropriate time to
close the churches when the boys are
writing home for their Bibles and
asking to be remembered in prayer;
when even the most profane are be-
ginning to cut out swearing, and are
thinking more seriously of what is
before them.
In other parts of our country the
churches are being filled. In Eng
land and France the churches are
filled with people in garments of
mourning. Must we wait until we
are in such condition before we come
to ask the great ruler of nations for
help? The world is suffering today
because men have despised the COS
pei, and have lived their own selfish
lives. This should be the beginning
of a new era and America should be
the young and strong nation to show
to the world that the gospel of the
Son of God is the only thing that can
bring justice, mercy and peace.
