Absolute Sin to Waste Food--Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent
<au for more food. We must send It
u the war is to go on efficiently. If
we eat 1t all we cunnot ship 1t, and
me food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
- needed by people who will starve II
they do not get 1t, the food administra-
don states.
For the least bit of heedlessness
on your part In food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
Ter privation,' an official statement
declares. Tine food administration
has mastered the problem of Ameri-
cas- food in such a way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept In
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach In Europe.
"It is an absolute sin TO waste food.
Food has become sacred.
Food means life; II means some
ibody's life, and you cannot escape re-
sponslbility.

AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

1--WE have already exported the
whole of the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands Of our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food adj
ministration to restrict export of wheat
so as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports of wheat
from now forward are limited entiriy
to volume of saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption OF
wheat and wheat products.
1--WE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ton made we were still unable TO load
several hundred thousand tons OF food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December
alone"

WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD.

Wheat-corn bread Is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam
flies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and I'm so doing are enabling
America TO provide more wheat Hour
for the allies. Here's a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and half
cups of milk, water or a mixture OF
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat -four
Put one and a half cups or water,
the eornmeal, salt sugar and fat Of
used) into a double boiler and COOK
twenty minutes. The water is sum
cient only TO soften the meal a httle.
Allow fhe meal to cool TO about the
temnerature of the room and add the
-four and yeast mixed with the rest
~ the water. Knead thoroughly
make into loaf, place in pan OF stand
ard size. allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 40 or 90 MN
utes II Is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage Of cornmeal than
This even in emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from paked
uush. Less cornmeal can be used
and In sucn q case the general tnetn'
od given above may be followed.
II is possible to make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more thah
one cupful of meal should be used 10
four cupfuls Of -four In other re-
snects the bread is mixed and baked
as In the above recipe.

bill to virtually establish a monopoly
of the coal producing and coal carry
ing railroads. passing through the
State. The bill was known as the
Coal Combine Bill, and it's p ain de-
sign was to enable the railroad
monopolists and spectators behind
it to make easy fortunes by raising
the price of coal, while bearing" the
price of their railroad securities in

Hardin was then a member of the
Legislature from Newark, and pro
tege Of Mr.. Smith, and he worked
and voted for the Coal Combine Bill.
1t was afterwards vetoed by a Demo
cratic Governor, and the railroad
combination which was sought to be
affected was prevented by the action
of Chancellor McGill. But the whole
affair evoked such widespread pub
lie Indignation that it practically
destroyed the Democratic Party for
more than generation. It was an
odious and scandalous incident in the
life of the Democratic Party of New

suicide now to revive. Since that

Luke MLuke Says

Life is a round Of ups and downs.
But a man is so busy yelping about
the downs that he hasn't time to
mention the ups.
The man who sits down and clings
to his belief that all things come to
those who wait is usually so lazy
that when they do come he lets them
pass him and waits for them to come
back
After man gegts to be about so
and is all in, he begins to take deep
interest in the rules of longevity.
We honestly believe that the aver
age prohibitionist would feel bad
all over if he ever discovered that he
was having a good time.
A man may be so devoid of spunll
and ambition that he would let rab-
bit spit in his face. But he always
has nerve enough to believe that he
has a right to dictate the policy Of
the newspaper that he reads regular

Two Unexpected Results in 1916
The primary in 1916, however
produced two unexpected results. Ths
first was the entirely unexpectec

Tor state Senator from Essex county
and the defeat by the narrowdst
margin of the Assembly ticket which
ran with Senator Osborne.

form satisfactory to the public utility

Governor Edge and his friends,
however, were alarmed at the size of
my vote in the primaries, and faced
the ordeal on the floor of the conven-
ton CT Senator Osborne as an ad1o-
cate of the increased tax on fran
chises and municipal ownership.
"The Governor gain apparently
