MADE N-GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-,
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
miniStration.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food adnl$niStra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-,,
mates that when the people listen to,
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad-i
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come TO life casually
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to:
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
at lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

situation places great responsibility
on the individual American Can there
be normal consumption of wheat
foods when it is realized that the
fighting nations stand in such need
Of that commodity? Shall / insist up
on bread and cake and pie when l
know that by so doing / am depriving
a fighting agency Of imperatively
needed food? That is the question
the American people must ask them
selves continually now
sour Allies are not asking us for
anything they do not actually need,
and we must remember that they are
asking it with right and an in
sistence that must be needed. Amer1-
ca must follow in the same path Con-
servation is now on voluntary basis,
but how long it can remain there de-
ponds upon the extent of the volun
tary saving and whether the general
situation improves or becomes worse.
But the American people should real
ize that they have come to the part
ing of the ways. Waste and unneces-
sary consumption of certain foods
must come to an end either volun-
tarily or by some measure of repres-
sion
"To obtain picture of what a food
shortage means, let it be said that the
recent Russian revolution was moth
ing but monster food riot, which
will be followed II others because,
the transport situation is such in that
unhappy country that supplies can not
be distributed. There will be more
suffering and revolt in the centers Of
population the coming winter In Italy
the food situation brought about riots
and weakened the morale Of the army,
because men at the front lose their
war enthusiasm when they learn that
dear ones at home are going hungry.
IT hope the sixty-fve thousand odd
patriotic Vermont families who signed
the food conservation pledge card will
realize that their call to the colors
has been sounded and that they will
redouble their efforts along lines Of
substitution and conservation suggest
ed in the kitchen card. | also hope
that those who did not sign the card
for any reason will reconsider their
action in view Of the increased seri-
BUSINESS of the situation There is a
definite war service Of unm asurable
value in this conservation work Sure
ly we at home will not fail to make
the lesser sacrifice entailed in food
conservation when we are sending our
boys so freely to Nike the supreme
sacrifice that we may continue to live

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO,OOO,OOO year toward the
cost of it.
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 to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents. the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction. the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

WHEATLESS BISCUITS.

Parched cOrnmeal is the feature of
these excellent wheatleSs biscuits.
First, the cOrnmeal-one-half q cup
is put in a shallow pan placed in the
oven and stirred frequently until it
is delicate brown. The other ingre-
dents are teaspoon of salt, a cup
of peanut butter and one and half
cups of water. Mix the peanut but
ter, water and salt and heat While
this mixture is hot stir in the meal
which should also be hot. Beat thor
oughly. The dough should be of such
consistency that it can be dropped
from a spoon. Bake in small cakes
in an INCREASED pan. This makes 16
biscuits, each of which contains one
sixth of an ounce of protein.

acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be-
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
a broad field for investigation.

America, in Keeping Allies in Fight
ing Efficiency, Must Do 1t
Out of Conservation
GREAT DUTY RESTS ON PUBLIC
Food Administrators Hartness Saws
Every Ounce of Wheat Saved is
an Ounce Released to Allies

Springfeld, Nov, 27,--James Hart
ner, federal food administrator for
vermont, just returned from Wash
ington where he atten.ed conference
between Federal Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover and the food admin
fstrators of the several states, de-
clared today that the country is far
from being awakened to the serious
ness of the food situation in the AL
lied world and consequently is not in
a position to realize the responsible
ty that is placed upon every individ-
ual to help in solving the great prob
lem Of keeping our fighting allies sup
piled with food
The problem of feeding the Allies
is more serious than the food admin
istration thought last summer it
would become" Mr.. Hartner said
The continuance of the war, from
the Allied side, depends on the daily
and monthly arrival over there of
given ships which leave our shores
laden with the food supplies for
which there is such an imperative de-
mand If our allies are to maintain
their fighting efficiency
"The general food situation is made
deubly complex by the shortage of
ships, and it is not too much to say
that if defeat comes to the Allies it
will be because the problem of food
and ships was not solved. The great
handicap imposed by the shipping
shortage is shown by the fact that
while there it not left in the United
States single exportable bushel OF
wheat Chat is, not bushel now re-
mains over our normal requirements),
the Australian crop of 1915 has only
half been moved, the 1916 export crop
has not been touched at all, and now
Australia is coming in with it's 1917
yield, none of which can not yet be
tapped because we can not detach
ships for such a long voyage.
1.-THE Argentine has a big wheat
crop, but carrying that to Europe au-
tomatically lessons the tonnage as a
consequence of lengthening the voy-
age, and, moreover, Argentine wheat
can not become a factor before the
middle of January. This means that
supplying the Allies with wheat be-
comes purely question of conserva-
ton. The United States and Canada
must carry the load until the middle
of January, and the United States
must do it out of conservation en-
t1rely. This means than when an in
dividaal refrains from eating a piece
of bread or any other food contain
ing wheat, he is releasing just so
much for war purposes.
"The individual may be certain that
this means exactly what it says:
every ounce of wheat saved is an
ounce more for our fighting allies
To this narrow margin has the worlds
available wheat supply come. This

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS:

There Is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only &C
complish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element in proportion to it's means.
1t is a matter of equality Of bur.
den; a matter of minute saving

WAYS, troops going on leave from the
battle front often have to wait hours
for trains. Since there probably are
not more than half a dozen important

pass daily, only small fraction of
them could be housed. Formerly thous-
ands had TO sleep in the open, often III

fighting zone tired, hungry and infected
1t is for such as these that the Red
