GRIND YOUR OWN WHEAT.
How Small Amounts Can Be Utilized By
the Farmer for Home Consumption.

l have lived in Kansas for several
years and done considerable work on the
grinding of wheat in small way for
household use, says a writer By grind
ing wheat coarsely a most excellent
breakfast cereal can be obtained. Being
freshly prepared, it has a superior flavor
just as a pie made from fresh apples is
superior to one made from dried ones.
This coarse grinding can be conveniently
done in coffee mill. Also the wheat
can be ground finer, then we have a SUI
perior graham flour. For more rapid
grinding small mills can be obtained
from mail order houses or through hard
ware dealers. These cost from $3.50 to
49, For So or $40 farmer can get one
that can be belted to a small gasoline en-
CINE and will grind from bushel an
hour up, according to the speed and the
ineness of the product,
The ground wheat made in these small
mills is fine for mullins, pancakes, or bis
cults and when mixed with equal parts
of white flour makes raised loaf of SUI
perior quality. This kind of ground
wheat has been much recommended by
food experts. 1t is rich in fat because
the germ is there. 1t is rich in mineral
matter because the bran is there and
adds bulk
Wheat is very easy to grind, while
corn is very difficult to get fine in small
mill However, corn meal prepared in
this way is Of very superior quality, as
it is very rich in fat, because we have
the germ in it, which is commonly re-
moved in the graduated corn meal so
much sold for human food.

Relief Workers Freed from Turkish Pris.
ons

The number of American relief work
ers among the destitute starving peoples
of the Near East has been augmented
by Americans who were imprisoned dur
ing the war by the Ottoman government,
according to a recent Associated Press
report.
A cable received by the committee to-
day also states that Americans impris-
oned during the war are now at liberty
and are actively engaged in relief work
for the Armenian and Syrian relief
fund" Among them are William Mel
son, former vice-council at Tripoli,
Syria; Charles Arthur Dana, of the Pres
byterian board of foreign missions, and
Mr.. Levine. All of them were accused of
espionage by the former Turkish govern
ment, the charge growing out of the help
the Americans gave to Armenian ref
ugees."
Another recent cable states that nearly
all the American missions, except those
in Constantinople and Smyrna, have
been occupied by the Turkish army, not
withstanding that all missions have been
engaged in relief work.
For the purpose of continuing its re-
lief work among the people of the Near
East. the American committee for Arme-
nian and Syrian relief has appealed to
the American public TO subscribe to the
American public TO subscribe $50, 100000.
A nationwide campaign to raise this
amount viii be waged during the week
of January IL to 10.

They Were Like
Blue Flowers at Home

Sometimes the letters are neces-
sarily sadder than this one. Mrs.
Collins, of Wyoming, writes to ask
how her son died; was he comfort
able? Had he ever "gone to work."
or did he die on the very threshold
of France? Did he speak of her
on his deathbed? Was it pneu-
monia?
Major Allen sends to the searcher
who was with the boy at his death
and asks her. He receives these
notes in reply: Henry Collins died
peacefully. He had pneumonia.
Was conscious until a few hours
before his death. Spoke of his
mother, and wanted some blue flow
ers in a vase to be set near him be-
cause they were like the flowers at
home. Were other flowers in the
room, but he would not have them.
Blue flowers have been forwarded to
mother. Received three letters from
home the day before he died. Is
buried in beautiful cemetery over
looking lovely river. Have visited
his grave twice. Somebody had
placed bunch of violets on it. The
Stars and Stripes wave over his
head"

Long Before
The Letter Arrived

Long before the letter arrived
Major Aliens department had begun
a search for Corporal Dawes. The
day he vanished his name was CIV
en- in to the bureau as among the
missing. The department immedi-
ately sent his name to all of the
hospitals in France where Ameri-
cans are received. In every one of
these there is a woman. called a
searcher. Her duty is to know the
men and to seek out information.
If there was not anybody in her
territory by the name Of Corporal
Dawes, she was supposed to know
whether she had any one present
from his company. If she had, she
asked him where he had seen his
missing comrade last. He might
say, Corporal Dawes was beside me
when we went into action. l never
saw him after that" He might
report that he saw him killed. or
that he saw him taken prisoner.
That he saw Dawes taken prisoner
is what a soldier at hospital down
in the south of France did say re-
garding Corporal Dawes. The
searcher reported the information,

A Dearer One Yet /
Than the Others

Sometimes inquiries come from
people other than mothers-as in
the case of Private Collins. A letter
came in bearing the postmark of
Sigourney, Iowa. 1t asked all of the
tender questions Of the mothers let
ter, and more. 1t bore the signature
"From his lonely, faraway sweet
heart"
Not all the questions come from
America, however. Sometimes the
boys need to have trifling errands
attended to here in France. A boy
wrote in that he had bought some
lace for his sisters. Would this de-
partnent of the Red Gross send it
back to them? 1t would, and did. A
boy had left word with the Amer
lean Express Company for them to
forward his mail to him at the
front. None had reached him, al
though he felt sure that his family
had written. Major Aliens depart
ment investigated and found that
tho American Express Company had
not understood. Two letters were
there for him, and they were
promptly forwarded.
The boys oyer here get desperate
ly eager sometimes for news of
home. Has the last payment been
made on the town lot which the SOL
dier- and his brother were buying
together for their parents? Is his
sweetheart lonely for him? Isl
mother we'll? Every boy in the
American army is at liberty to stop
any Red Cross man he sees and ask
him about any situation at home
that troubles him. The Red Cross
man entrusted with a question car
ries it to the office of Major Allen,
and some one there Immediately
cables America for information re-
garding the point. The matter. is
referred to the local Red Cross, and
they, after an investigation, return
a reply to the headquarters in Wash
ington, whereupon full particulars
Of the case are cabled here.
Thus are our men and their fam
lilies, although separated by miles of
land and ocean, kept in close touch
with one another.
