GOOD COMBINATIONS OF
WHEAT SUBSTITUTES

The following has been taken from
Q circular issued by the United States
Food Administration and is therefore
reliable. With the hope that it may
be of benefit to our lady readers, we
herewith publish it:
Good Combinations:-
Rolled oats (ground) and corn -four
Barley flour and rice flour
Buckwheat -four and potato-four
Peanut -four and sweet potato flour
Soy bean flour and corn meal
Caution:-
ALI measurements should be ac-
curate. A standard measuring cup is
equal to half pint,
2-The batter often looks too thick,
and sometimes too thin, but you will
find that if you have measured as Civ
en- in the table the results will be good
after baking.
3-Bake all substitute mixtures
more slower and longer.
drop biscuits are better than
the rolled biscuits, when substitutes
are used.
5-Pie crust often does not roll well
and has to be pated in the pie pan.
They do not need chilling before bak-
ing. I
In substituting for one cup Of flour
use the following measurements.
Each is equal in weight to a cup Of

DO IT ELECTRICALLY
AND SAVE THE COAL

When that load Of coal which friend
hubby ordered arrives, il will be up to
friend wife to serve on the reception
committee and see that said load OF
coal does not do the vanishing act
too suddenly, and make his stay rs
prolonged as possible. 1t is going to
be a problem all right, all right. It
takes heat to cook n meal, do . big
ironing. preserve that precious fruit,
and likewise have hot water every
time there is call for it. Why not
let electricity or the fireless cooker do
at least one-third Of the work? The
coal will be needed badly enough in
the cold winter time, when electricity
will cost more than il does in the sum-
mer time. OF course, it takes q coal
fire to accomplish some Of the many
household tasks, but when it comes
to serving the evening meal, doing the
ironing, running various pieces Of
household machinery, the electric mo-
tor saves, not only coal, but time and
hard work.
Even If we all cannot afford to po-
ssess the many electric conveniences
now on the market, we can at least
have either an electric chAfing dish or
an electric stove, either of which will
be source of economy. as well as
pleasure. Care should be exercised
in buying articles of this kind. Care
should be taken to have each piece
under easy control Of the operator.
Connections should be so constructed
that there is no danger Of burning the
fingers. Articles that are easily dam-
aged If the current lasts too long, or
becomes too hot, should be equipped
with some kind of safety device, like
fusible plug. This safeguard pre-
trc apparatus, such as a coffee percola-
vents the ruin of fine piece of cleo
tor, chafing dish or fiat ron. The
plug can be renewed at trifiing cost.
r Every electric iron should be sup
piled with stand, and the iron kept
on the stand when not in active use.
do not stand the iron on its side, or on
the table. You will ruin both the
iron and the table,. In purchasing an
iron of this kind, be sure to get only
the best. Take care to disconnect Il
when it gets sufficiently hot. A well
made iron uses less current than q
cheap one, and il handled right, there
is absolutely no danger in using one.
For the dining room, the most con-
venient and easiest handled device il
an electric stove. 1t can be placed
directly on the table, and all manner
Of dainty and appetizing dishes pre-
pared right there without any extra
steps and numerous trips to the kit-s
chen. These stoves come with three
heats, 90 that as soon Is water or
dish Of material il brought to boil
ing point, the heat can be cut down
and the dish kept hot with only q lit
tie current.
With an electric vacuum cleaner, an
electric stove, electric motor and iron
there Is little chance for the coal to
give out before its time. The supply
may be kept for twice the length Of
time it generally lasts.
The evening meal, served on the
lawn or back porch on hot days and
the food prepared electrically" will
prove . most pleasing change from the
usual order Of things. to say nothing
Of the time saved in preparing the
food Is well ~ the tiresome cleaning

USING THE ~YELLOw PEST
AS A FOOD FOR THE TABLE

Despite the fact that the dandelion
$ considered a pest and abused for
its despoling of lawns, it, like many
other things not appreciated, has its
good points. Few people realize tina
the dandelion is one Of Natures best
blood remedies. II is rich in tonic
salts and iron. Using great quantities
Nas7a food 1t the table during spring
and summer, will do ones system
more real good than . gallon Of nfedi-
cine labeled, "blood purifier"
Dandelions are at their best when
served as greens and salads. They
should be cut from the root 30 that
the rosette-like mat Of leaves remains
intact. The tender blossom buds are
delicious in salads and may be COM
bined with other ingredients.
III dandelions are to be served raw,
the plants should be gathered when
young and tender, and before the yell
low blossoms appear. II they are to
be cooked they may be gathered after
the leaves are large, but one must be
careful to change the water on them
once or twice to avoid their being BIT
ter, which will be the case il the plant

In making q salad, II Is wise to use
