FLOUR SUBSTITUTES.

Some people act very foolishly
about -four substitutes. One grocer
reports a customer saying to him
that she didn't know what to do with
her substitutes. They had been
gathering up until she had a big
supply of them and the bugs and
worms were getting into them. The
woman thought she had complied
with all the requirements when she
took from the grocer fifty Of sub
stitutes with fifty of -four, and so
she made her bread of the -four and
didn't use the substitutes at all. She
had complied with the letter of the
orcer, but her compliance wasn't Of
the slightest value to the govern
ment. It amounted to nothing in
winning the war. 1t is not the gov
ernment's idea to help the grocer sell
his corn meal and other substitutes,
but the idea is to get the people to
eating these substitutes instead of
wheat -four. Where one anly buys
substitutes and doesn't use them she
does nothing toward conserving
wheat four-and that is the only
thing that helps. You may not like
your bread part substitutes and you
may not like to eat mush, but these
are times when the patriotic woman
is ready to do things she does not
like in order that worse things may
not come upon the world.
