FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The war situation is critical.
II Unless the Allies fight they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat 1t is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. BY saving just little
less than quarter of what We ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn Of Plenty--Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has homogeneous in the
hour OF our need 1t has given corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cor! It is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
has blong cen the staff Of life How we'll the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war;
Learn Something-Corn! 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable It's bread
It's dessert It's nutritious food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables It's good to eat how good you don't
know until you've had corn bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic
Corn. Infinite variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing about it7 Here are a few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper lunch or break
FAST Here are some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread Cornneal molasses cake

Muffins Dumplings
Biscuits. Gingerbread.
Griddle cakes. Fruit gems. :;

HEARTY DISHES

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.

A., In the meatless menu there Is q fer.
tile field for developing new and uour
ishing dishes, according to Il. H. Niles
writing h the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lievcs that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace. but may. grow more
acute and continue for Eve or six
years. thus making It worth while to
develop menus Of grain. vegetables
and fish on q 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 soutter1, cuisine
q broad neld for investigation. !.
