Bread Without Wheat Flour.

The New York Herald announces that q New York chef has "wonder recipe for making bread without wheat four" Jean Ricroch, chef of the Biltmore hotel, is responsible for the recipe, md he now gives it to the country, without money ard without price. MT. Ricroch told Herald re- porter the ingredients of the new bread are as follows: Twenty-Five pounds of rye four, 25 pounds of graham flour, 25 pounds of corn four, 25 pounds of crushed oatmeal, l pound of lard and ? pounds of yeast" This, 1t is ex- plained. is enough to make 15O pounds of bread. The yeast and rye flour should be mixed first and the others added alternately. Smaller quantities of bread can be made by using smaller proportions. The receipt doubtless is a good one, but it does not provide for bread without wheat four. Graham flour is unbolted wheat flour. So, while the bread is wheat saver, 1t does not do away entirely with the use of that grain.

 Little Daughter had been asked to go to the bakery for bread for her school lunch.
 '1t's wheatless day, dear."
 "But I don't like war bread. It's so dark and different. And the rules aren't for cfiI&ren, are they?"
 "No, but you know we were asked to send one million bushels of wheat to the allies by May first. We have given our word. and our baker is try: ing to help hy making this special bread, which has almost no white flour In 1t whatever. But, of course, if you don't feel you can help in this way, you may buy Q lighter loaf" Little Daughter started off. In a few moments she returned. Mother unwrapped the package. There was the small, dark loaf, indeed different. but really most palatable and nour- ishing. Little Daughters eyes were glowing.
 Mother, the baker asked me if I liked war bread, and I said did"
 Mother looked up in astonishment. ''But, my dear, you just said"
