CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACY WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United states
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 5000, 100000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains ali the elements needed to
keep the body in Il state Of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
blned with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days ut q
time and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels OF corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis Of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev
0lution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come TO the fropt In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal Is finding greatly tncreas-
ed use In the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds Of housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are milking
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
-four to make leavened bread. This
kind of mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes aud with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated In the war.
! There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
/ for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
enlng corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use In the kitchen instead OF
granulated sugar Is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad OILS
is appearing on the market In large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. Il Is true that the English
man buys a loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t Is poorer
bread and the British government Is
paying s2Oo,OO0,oOo a year toward the,
cost Of II.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over 70 the mills BY the govern
ment At price that allows the adul-
ierated war bread loaf Of four pounds
10 sell at 'ls cents. the two pound loaf

rents

what similar, bit with larger ex-

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The situation is critical
IL Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; hungry nations. France England,
and Italy going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. It Is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stintng ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surnlus of t. Providence has been gen erous in the
hour Of our need. 1t has given corn in such bounty
as was never known before Tons of corn. Train
loads of Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Com 1t is the true American
food. The Indians hardest Of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent For a great section of our country it
has bong the staff of life. How we'll the South
fought on it, history tells Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn some.hns-corn! 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen IT'S a cereal. It's vegetable. It's bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious ;'more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Cor,s Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways Of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are few
Of its uses
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper lunch break
fast Here are suggestions;
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread Corn-neal molasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins Dumplings
Biscuits Gingerbread.
Gridde cakes. Fruit gems.
Waffles.
HEARTY DISHES

Meat and corn-meal dumplings.

New York, July 25.-George Syl.
vester Viereck, who was editor Of the
pro-German weekly, The Fatherland,
which was started shortly after the
outbreak Of the European war for the
purpose of spreading propaganda in
favor OF the Teutonic allies, received
from his German and Austrian

efforts in their behalf. This was
brought out during the examination of

mitted among other things that for a
considerable period he received about
$3.50 week from DR.. Dumba, the Aus

the first of the Teuton diplomats to
be ordered out of the country, while

Bernstorff, the German Ambassador.
Other large sums were paid to him by
Dr. Carl A. Fuehr. who was the pay
master of the German propaganda
machine of which DR.. Bernhardt
Dernburg, and subsequently DR.. Helm
rich Albert was the head.
Vierecks various activities includ-
ed the circulation of books, pamphlets
and other documents favorable to the
German cause, in addition to writing
editorials of ''vitriolic" nature in
favor of Germany for The Father
land. One OF the books that he had
