POINTS in cookinu Cereals.

There are several practical points
TO remember in cooking cereals. One
is that there is more danger Of not
cooking them enough than of cooking
them too much. UncOOked cereal
preparations, like cracked wheat and
coarse samp, need several hours cook
ing, and are often improved by being
IEft on the back of the stove or in
the 2reless cooker overnight. Cereals
partially cooked at the factory, such
as the rolled or fine granular prepara-
tons, should be cooked fully as long
as the directions on the package sug-
gest.
FlavOring is also an important part
of cooking cereals. The flavor most
commonly added is salt. Such added
flavor is perhaps less necessary in
some of the ready-to-eat kinds which
have been Drowned. at the factory and
have thus gained the pleasant flavor
which also appears in the crust of
bread and cake or in toast, but in the
plain boiled cereals or musheS the
careful use of salt in cooking them
may make all the difference between
an appetiZing and an unpalatable dish.
A good general rule is one level tea
spoonful of salt to each quart of water
@'sed in boxing the cereal.

SUGAR 'TESTED
MORAL FIBER
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
pies Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port of War by Conserving for
the Benefit of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initeIy that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that it was COM
paratively easy to bring about cOnser-
walton of staple necessities, but that it
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease in the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
Of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be Iightened, European ma
tons will be able to go farther aield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption if the
present short ratiOns in Europe are
not materially increased If the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This cOnser-
walton allowed the Food Administra
ton to build up q reserve, and to tide
over the period Of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August Sep
TENDER and October 995, 900 tons were
distributed Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite. concrete saving of
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, in
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show cOnclusively that in
the homes and public eating places of
America, where 90 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July. this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution In August only 225,0O0
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

REQUIRES 5IORE EGGS

According to the U. S. Food
Administration an urgent ne
cessity exists for a large out
put Of eggs this winter. Stor-
age stock are d per cent less
than a year ago and are rap
idly being consumed
The United States must
share its egg output and its
storage eggs with Europe.
Importation of Chinese dried
eggs stopped in February and
bakers are now using she'll
eggs, thus adding to demand.
Every farm poultry house
in the United States should
be made a busy egg factory
this winter. Consult your
comfy agent, state experiment
station or the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for best
methods.
The needed increased output
of fresh eggs this winter is a
challenge to the skill and re-
sourcefulness of every farmer
and poultrymen. Even with
maximum production, condi-
tions point to profitable returns
for every fresh egg marketed.
