Fut IN coffee can Zone pound) or two
baking powder cans (one-haf pound) and
steam three hours
These materials vary so from time to TINA
that Judgment" is required to adapt them to
each other. Where the meal is very coarse
more liquid may be desirable; this may be
sweet milk or water and should be added a
spoonful or two at time. Watch the MKT
ure and see it it is thin enough to settle
smoothly on top when the spoon is quiet. The
soft mixture makes a much more delicious
loaf, but If more liquid were added the result
would be heavy rather than light
In first class New York restaurant I
ordered Boston brown bread not long ago and
1t was unpleasantly stiff. Moreover, it was
served cold and was about as unpalatable q
food as ono ever sees.
Therefore, let me suggest that we master
the art Of reheating brown bread. prefer
to steam as many loaves at one time as my
steamer will hold. Four times the quantity
given, or two quarts of meal may be put in
three coffee cans if desired. Often we use
the glass jars in which half pounds of bacon
come to make nice little round slice Then
l have put the surplus back in the same lar,
set it in the refrigerator and have kept it ten
days as one keeps Christmas pudding The
loaf in or out Of its can may be reheated in
the steamer.
Often it is simpler to slice it and pack the
slices back into the can to heat Again. il
the oven is hot the slices may be spread on
fiat pan and as soon as hot piled up to prevent
drying.
Sometimes slices Of the bread are toasted
on both sides in frying pan slightly creased
with sausage fat and then is served with a
portion Of sausage on top.

HOMEMADE WAR BREAD
By ANNA BARROWS

II Uncle JOE CANNON, according to
H newspaper interview, says that corn
~ bread sent East is likely to be con-
served as long as the wheat in the tombs OF
the Pharaohs; that the people of the East
want only the wheat which is one-sixth OF the
grain crop; that they turn up their noses at
the other five-sixths-the corn, rye, barley,
etc.
Doubtless one reason why we are slow IN
substituting corn for wheat is that cornmeal
often costs even more than the wheat -four
But price should not be considered by those
of even moderate incomes.
To moderate extent fine cornmeal, white
or yellow, may be combined with white flour
in making the ordinary loaf of white bread.
One cup corn with three cups flour (that is,
put one cup cornmeal in quart measure and
fill with white four) is satisfactory in mullins,
biscuits or raised rolls and loaves. A guam
tity of this mixture may be combined at once,
sifted and kept ready for use
For yeast doughs the liquid required should
be boiling hot when poured over the cornmeal
For one loaf, one cup milk and water to one
cup meal; the salt, sugar and fat may be
added to this. When cool mix in the yeast,
softened in water, and then add tho white
flour, nearly two cups.
The corn will swell and absorb the water,
and less flour is required to make dough
that can be kneaded. Where the meal is not
scalded, more white flour will be used.
"Thirds" bread was made perhaps in Revolu-
tionary days. This was combination of
equal measures Of cornmeal, rye meal and
white flour made like any yeast bread.
No special recipes are needed for "war
breads" by housekeepers who are already ex-
pert bread makers The general plan is to
make bread as usual, but leave out one-fourth
or one-third of the white -four and substitute
about equal amount of other flour or meal.
Or in mixing the bread add about the same
roportion-one-fourth the total bulk OF
cooked cereal or mashed potato, pumpkin,
squash, or even beans or peas cooked and
sifted
Breads made in part from barley, rolled
oats and rye will be acceptable in most cases.
The proportion of one part to three OF white
-four is safe. At first, one part to four Of
white flour may be tried and the proportion
gradually increased. One part to two OF
white flour requires more care in manipula-
ton and is less likely to be palatable to those
unaccustomed to the grains other than wheat.
In the same way in which any Of these
meals are added to loaves of bread, meal
made from dried bread crumbs may be used.
But there are so many ways to take care of
crumbs that such bread would be variety or
novelty rather than Of practical value.
Boston brown bread should be depended
upon now for daily use, much as it was in the
carly days Of the colonies. 1t was the staff
Of life and white bread an occasional luxury
Then the brown bread was made with yeast
and baked in the brick ovens in big round
loaves.
Real brown bread was known also as rye
and Indian, but rye became less common
graham and whole wheat or even white flour
has taken it's place The loaves now are
steamed rather than baked, though often they
put in the oven to secure q richer color
and some crust.

Let Uncle Sam Try Be-
ing the Milkman

many Of the invalided or old are in near
ly the same case.
And now for action, based on facts.
1t milk cannot be produced except at
prohibitive price, and it is essential to
the well-being of the race, why not pro-
vide it and be taxed for it, just as we
are for water and for public schools? 1t
costs greater New York approximately
$3,326,358 year for it's water. If it be
urged that some would use much more
milk than others, then we have a de-
llghtful solution whereby the bachelor
girls and men and the childless-es-
pecially the childless rich-may be taxed
direct, as has been many times suggest
ed, for the maintenance of the babies.
Why would not vision of tenement
and Riverside babies receiving alike
their tested sanitary milk, delivered
by the Board of Health (Which
must inspect the supply anyway
through delivery system from local.
lzed supply houses, thus doing away
with all duplication, appeal to any one?
We doubt if more popular tax could
be levied or a municipal party stay in
power If it fell down on its milk pro-
gramme. At least, we should protect
the public health, safeguard the coming
generation, eliminate the profit neces-
sary on private enterprise and reduce
the costs so far as unifcation would do
this.
Here's to Uncle Sam as a milkman,
Its fine "compensating" line of busi-
ness, fitting avocation-for a warrior!

cost of production, plus a profit, you will
hear a squeal from the baby at once.
When cost is assured, why should the
farmer care what it is; and the labor
and feed-the main items of cost-will
skyrocket at will.
Somewhere in the circle there must
be fixed point, or you have a "dizzy
whizz," an ascending spiral which will
soon place the product out of reach. And
decreased demand means fall in selling
price, especially when the product is
perishable.
We might let the economic law take
its course and necessity work out a
readjustment-if it we're not for the
baby's literally crying needs. Making
water run up hill is a pleasant recreation
compared to the difficulty of fixing a

TIME food value of honey is not generally
comprehended. 1t is really a nour-
L ishing food as we'll a sweet and
should be given freely to children. Spread
thicky on bread, it is very wholesome for
them. In cooking, too, honey may often be
substituted for sugar; in fact, some foods are
greatly improved by sweetening with honey
instead Of sugar.
One generally thinks of honey as something
fitted for dessert only; but in the foreign
countries it is used for nearly every course
and in every case with great success Baked
foods keep better when prepared with honey
instead of sugar, because the honey seems to
retain the moisture in cakes, etc, so that they
remain luscious and mellow for an indefinite
time Cakes made of honey are usually left
to "rpen" day or two, in order to develop
the honey flavor. Add three tablespoonsful
Of honey to baked beans and note the flavor
Of the beans when it is used in place OF mo-
asses.
Ham cured with honey makes dish fit for
the gods. 1t is prepared in this way:
CURING HAM WITH HONEY
This is favorite recipe in France and is
well worth the trying.
First make a brine Of four pounds OF
coarse salt and an ounce of saltpetre, to
which is added two pounds of honey and two
gallons of water This is left to blend for
twenty-four hours; then the ham is immersed
in it and left in the honeyed brine for six
weeks When removed at the end Of that
time the ham is found to be permeated with
an indescribably delicious favor.
FRUITS PRESERVED IN HONEY
Fruits preserved in honey instead Of sugar
are delicate and rich to a degree. The fruit
and honey blend into rare flavors.
Prepare fruit as usual for canning. Put
on to boil When the fruit is ready for can
ming add the honey; do not boil, but let it
come just to the boiling point Have the

The distributor had proved to inquir-
ing experts that the retail delivery of a
nerishable product such as milk cost
him as much as it did the farmer to pro-
duce it. and that he, too, was much

And the consumer, especially if she
had babies, simply said that she wasn't
interested in the details, but that the
habv had to have milk or die and that
she couldn't buy it at the prices at which
it was being sold.
The farmer calls attention to the facts
that the food for his cattle is steadily
going up and that labor is both scarce
and high. The distributor must also
nav his men more. and the price of horse

ready in New York the production of
milk has decreased and the use of
cheaper grades of milk increased. Ac-
companying these facts, it was found
that 2,148 children under six years of
age were drinking tea and coffee, and
the infant mortality rate was increas-
ing. Of course, there may have been
other reasons, but the milk situation is
undoubtedly one contributing factor.
1t is also reported that in Rochester,
