MUSH AND MILK.

What has become of the old
time bowl of cornmeal mush and
milk? 1t is an American dish,
cheap, nourishing and palatable.
The older generation loved it;
and for economical, sentimental
and patriotic reasons we should
now go back to it and take all
America with us. Mush and
milk furnishes a balanced ra-
ton, yet contains no wheat, no
meat, no sugar. 1t is a whole
meal in itself, and while the war
lasts it should be used more
largely in this country. It's
larger use here will release other
and more concentrated foods for
our armies and the armies of the
allies. We are producing an
abundance of food; we will save
it for our boys ACROSS the water;
and food will help to win the
war. The Austrians, Bulgari-
ans, Turks and Germans are be-
ginning to see this, and the kali
ser also believes and trembles.

SIMPLE PLAN TO
COOK CORN MEAL
Plenty of Good Milk to Take Away
Dryness Makes Dish Most
PaIatabIe.
CONSERVE WHEAT AND SUGAR
Try Our Mush Recipes Until Knack of
Cooking Just Long Enough Has
Been Discovered -- Dried
Fruits Add Variety

Mush and milk for breakfast or
lunch makes a simple dish fit for a
king-but like all other simple dishes
it must be made just right or the king
won't like it. The secret of serving
cornmeal this way lies in plenty Of
milk and not too much mush. In the
FIRST place see that the mush is not
too thick-try out your recipes until
you find the knack of cooking it just
long enough. No one enjoys dry, thick
muSh. Then serve moderate portions
with generous amount of milk or
cream on tep-and have plenty more
in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins,
dates, figs and other dried fruits give
variety to the dish and please the chill
dren. They sweeten the mush and
save sugar.
The most common way of prepar-
ing muSh is to allow the water to
come to the boiling point and to add
the meal slowly, stirring constantly.
The objection to this method is that
there is considerable danger that the
mush will become lumpy and often
times 1t is inconvenient and unpleas-
ant to stand over hot stove and stir
the mixture sufficiently to make 1t
smooth A better method, therefore,
is the following:
Put the cornmeal, cold water and
salt together in the top of a double
boiler No stirring is necessary. Put
the top of the double boiler into the
lower part and allow the mush to
heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or
longer, if convenient. Many people
cook it as long as four hours. Just
before serving remove the top of the
double boiler from the lower part and
boil the mush for two or three min
utes. In boiling it at this time there
is no danger that it will lump.

With the American Army Northwest
Of Verdun, Oct 2.-American units
reached the Krimhild- -Steelung line at
one point today. Just south Of Brieulies
they advanced to- spot where they
established actual contact with this
famous enemy system.
The so called Krimhiii -Stenlung line,
which the American front faces today.
is part of the general German defensive
system beginning at Douai. continuing
south Of LaF'ere and thence east to the
Meuse. Crossing the Meuse the line
extends eastward by the way Of Etain

to the Moselle, which is reached just
south Of Epagny.
On the greater part of the front be-
tween the Aire and Meuse rivers the
enemy is either on or Immediately in

tain.
Rough and Tumble Fighting.
The spirit Of the men on this front
Is demonstrated by that of those in the
Argonne forest. This place is always

Fighting has gone on there with the
same stubbornness which character
ICED the first days effort. Machine
gunncrs were left behind by the Ger
mans to defend the main body and
there has been some great rough and
tumble fighting.
Much booty has fallen into the hands
OF the Americans. including an electric
power station 1t is estimated that It
must have cost $4,000 to equip this
plant with water power. The Germans
