Observation-Disclosures
"New" Spinach is Favorite.


This is just an item about spinach
and how you can help prevent rath-
er important loss in it. All that is
asked of you is that you do not dis
criminate unfairly, when you go to
market, in the matter of two kinds of
spinach which are practically alike
except in looks. Prickly seeded spin
ach is an old type that is coming back
on the market this year because seed
of the common spinach -Savoy-leaf-
is scarce. 1t resembles the dandelion
somewhat in appearance. 1t has just
as much food value and as good a
flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy
which you are more accustomed to
buying, and can be cooked in the same
way. Only a few years ago, before
the Savoy became almost the only
type grown commercially, the prickly
seeded spinach was the most popular
kind produced for winter use.
So don't snub this old favorite.
Specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture are eager to
have this explanation spread broad
cast because they fear a loss may re-
suit from the belief of many consum-
ers and dealers that the prickly-
seeded type is a new one differing In
food value.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-05-25
Why Use cornmeaI?

A 35-bushel yield of corn, which
crop produces more human food than
any other commonly grown on Ameri-
can farms, will supply nearly 150
pounds of protein needed for flesh
building and more than 100000 units
(calories) of energy. Wherever condi-
tions are favorable for extending corn
acreage it is evident that considerable
addition can be made to the supply of
human food.
Let it be urged once again, use more
cornmeal. Millers should give special
attention to the preparation of corn
meal of good quality and housewives
should use increased quantities of this
nutritious and palatable product as
substitute for wheat for bread making
and other purposes. 1t is more practic-
able to increase the use of cornmeal In
this country than abroad, for our peo-
pie are familiar with corn as food,
while most European peoples are not,
though now they try to do what they
can.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-05-25
Savory Meat Savers.

Beans, peas and other legumes are
especially important articles OF food
at the time because of the large
amount of protein they contain, which
makes them valuable as meat savers.
The legumes protein, however, is not
complete substitute for that supplied
by meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk,
cheese, etc. The legumes will not,
therefore, entirely take the place of
meat and similar sources of protein
in the diet. They should perhaps be
looked upon as meat savers rather
than meat substitutes. They will per-
form their function as food better if
used in connection with some of the
other sources of protein named rather
than alone. For this reason such
dishes as the following, for example,
are preferable to beans or Other
legumes alone: Pork and beans. Bos-
ton roast (cold baked beans and
cheese), bean soup with boiled egg
stews Of meat and legumes, bean GRO
quettes with boiled egg, and bean
chowders and purees with milk.

WHAT YOU ARE MISSING

Get acquainted with the de-
licious quick breads that can be
made without wheat flour.
If every family in the United
States were acquainted with
them, a wheat shortage would
never pinch again, war or no
war.
By not being acquainted with
them, you are missing an oppor-
tunity for sorely needed pa
triotic service.
Besides, you are missing the
opportunity of eating delicious
bread.
Get acquainted with quick
breads made from cornmeal and
wheat substitutes.
1t is a duty you owe your
country-and a pleasure you
owe yourself.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-05-25
Use of Substitutes Will Do Much
to Relieve Wheat Situation
and Aid Allies.
some GOOD THINGS TO EAT
Biscuits, Mufflns, Waffles and Griddle
Cakes Are Better Than Yeast
Bread-Will Tickle Palate,
y and Satisfy Stomach.

Biscuits, mullins, griddle cakes, waf-
fles-use these in place of yeast bread
and save wheat. To make yeast
bread of good texture some wheat
flour must be used to furnish the
gluten necessary for this form OF
leayening, Quick breads leavened
with baking powders or sour milk, or
cream of tartar with baking soda, do
not need this gluten, so we can use
other cereal f1ours that do not con-
tain gluten for them. Barley flour,
corn flour, cornmeal, buckwheat flour,
oatmeal, sweet potato flour, kafir, and
feterita meal-all such can be used
for quick breads. Their use will do
much to relieve the wheat situation,
as they require no wheat. They are
delicious, too, so when you serve your
family with hot breads made from the
wheat substitutes you help your coun-
try and the allies, and at the same
time furnish your family with good
things to eat.
For hot biscuits almost any of the
substitute flours can be used, using
the same amount of shortening and
baking powder as for wheat biscuit
and enough liquid to make dough of
the right consistency for rolling. Half
corn flour and half cornmeal makes a
good biscuit or half cornmeal and
half peanut meal.
This barley drop biscuit is de-
ncious:

ing powder.
Baked in sheet this makes a good
shortcake, buttered and served with
fresh crushed berries or other fruit.
When soy-bean meal or peanut meal
are used the fat should be reduced,
as both of these contain much fat.
For mullins the standard recipe can
again be used, substituting the other
fours in place of all or part of the
wheat flour. Rolled oats can be put
through food grinder and used as
any other flour or meal in quick
breads. Here is a delicious muffin
made from oatmeal and corn flour:

long enough to get into fresh clothes

He walked out Of the gate and down

and aired his views ON politics and af-
fairs social. He left the boat at the
big bend.
Not TIL Q week later did Elliot 70
turn up the river. He was asleep at
the time the Sarah passed the big
bend, but next morning he discovered
that Selfridge and Dustin had como
aboard during the night. In the after
noon he came upon a real surprise
when he found Meteetse and her little
boy Colmac seated upon a box on the
lower deck where freight for local
points was stored
His guess was that they were local
passengers, but wharf after wharf
slipped behind them and the two still
remained on board. They appeared
to know nobody else on the Sarah,
though once Gordon met Dustin Just as
he was hurrying away from the Indian
woman.
Meteetse transferred with the other
Kusiak passengers at the river juno
ton. The field agent was not the only
one ON board who wondered where
she was going. Selfridge was con-
sumed with curiosity, and when she
and the boy got OF ut Kusiak, he could
restrain himself no longer. Gordon
saw Wally talking with her. Meteetse
showed him an envelope which evi-
IDENTIFY had an address written upon It,
for the little man pointed out to her
the direction in which she must 90.
Since leaving Kusiak nearly two
weeks before. no word had reached
Gordon Of Sheba. A. soon AZ he had

out to the Paget house and sent in
his card.
sheba came into the hall to meet
him from the living room where she
had been sitting with the man she ex-
pected to marry next week. She gave
a little murmur Of pleasure at sight Of
him and held out both hands.
II was afraid you weren't going to
get back in time. I'm 80 glad" shs
told him warmly.
He managed to achieve Q smile.
"When is the great day7"
"Next Thursday. OF course we're
a. busy as can be, but Diane says"
A ring at the door interrupted her.
Sheba stepped forward and let in an
Indian woman with little boy cling
ing to her hand.
''You Miss O'Neillf' she asked.
"Yes."
From the folds Of her shawl she
drew a letter. The girl glanced at the
