to become the leader among wheat
substitutes because OF its good quail

and, IT'S fine, Hour-like texture. Here
are four wheatless bake-stuffs for

WRITE TO Nicely
ABOUT POSTAL PAY
Bill Granting Increase For
Government Employees
Now Before Congress.

Much interest has been aroused To-
cally as well as all over the country
in the fight OF the postal employees for
an increase in salary. IN 1907 Con
gress passed law which established
five classes for clerks and carriers,
the salary ranging from $500 to $1,000
per year. Since 1907 living conditions
have made it almost impossible for a
man with family to live on these
salaries because OF the increase in
the cost of all necessities Of life.
The Committee on the Post office
and Post Roads OF the House Of Rep
resentatives on January 81, 1918 re-
ported bill known as n. r. 9414
which will give salary increase to
clerks and carriers and their substt-
tutes. railway postal clerks, assistant
postmasters, departmental clerks, la
borers. watchmen. printers, chauheurs
messengers, charwomen. janftoTs in
post offices and per diem employees
and rural route carriers. This bill viii
last for the duration Of the war and
ninety days after the proclamation
OF peace by the president. This bill
was referred to the committee on Rul-
es on February 12, by resolution H.
Res. 24s. The committee met on Feb
ruary 81. to consider the resolution
and after full debate every member
voted in favor OF it and recommended
that it pass. The bill will give the

his promotion come between them
she had to acknowlede it to herself.
She was not good enough for an as
sistant managers wife. It was hard
to credit Bob with such an ungrateful
spirit, for he had always been so kind
and considerate- The lille home they
had planned to built. with The garden
and rose hedge had been almost real
but apparently Bob had forgotten. An
assistant manager would he able TO

He would be a\big man some day and
their little love affair could really
