A Near s'Whole Wheat Flour and
Many Delicious Ways of Using 1t

can make very delicate mullins and
biscuit from it without mixing in
any white flour, which is SO often
done with the graham fours. OBJ
viously there is no advantage in
using graham flour, with every
bit Of the bran and germ in it, and
then using half white flour in the
baking.
Very delicate breads were made
from the following recipes with
this intermediary flour and no white
flour at all.

Austria of the system used by the
American Relief Administration. He
could not be pried away from the
subject even to talk of his own
business. The mapping of the
geographic needs; the soldicrly or
ganization Of the distributing

weights and measures that deter
mined just how the food should be
given to women and children to do
the most good; not a cent of con-
tributed money spent except for
food, and only three Americans or
the job installing and controlling
the system. Native workers were
used under direction for all con
tact work. These things in Their
perfect working out seemed to Mr..
Danforth the best thing seen
abroad.
The enthusiastic appreciation
that President Danforth showered
on this work demonstrated both his
love of feeding folks the food tina;

in organization and ability to get
those around him entllused with
the work in hand. The human

about twenty minutes, then place an
asbestos mat under the pan, and

Place the peel on waxed paper

paper and keep in tightly covered

are jellied the process is slightly

If four times the original guam

peel use only enough water TO cover
it well. In making the syrup use
four cupfuls of sugar but only one

will then be necessary to cook the
strips in the syrup only for about
sixty minutes, just as when doub-
ling the recipe. Thus the boiling

wheat as it grows varies quite good

ON a restricted diet would such a

There is decidedly "wheaty"
farewell to this cereal, and in our
opinion the best way to cook ii
would be in the fireless over night
and reheat; or cook for 20 minutes
in the single boiler (Which, how
ever, requires constant watching)
Or it may be cooked for five min
utes over the fame and simmered

Next day drain the syrup from

half its original volume by boiling.
Cool the syrup, place the berries in
it, heat again slowly; boil very
gently for three or four minutes and
allow to stand for two hours or

to stand in the thick syrup over
night; warm once more, so that the
syrup will be thin enough to pour

WARN MERCHANTS


AS TO NEW LAWS.
VermIllion, May 23.-The food COM
missioner is mailing to merchants and
restaurant and hotel keepers letter
calling attention to the requirements Of
laws enacted at the recent session of the
state legislature.
Chief among the acts to be enforced
by the food and drug department is a
general sanitary law, which sets up def
mite sanitary standards in all places
where food is manufactured, stored or
sold. This is law that the department
has been endeavoring to have enacted
for years, and Commissioner Frary be-
lieves that with this measure effective
there will be still greater Improvement
noted than has been accomplished dur
ing the past years.
Another new law amends the hotel
inspection laws and gives the commits.
sioner authority to refuse licenses and
to suspend or even revoke them when
the law is violated. This is felt to be a
very effective means for enforcement.
Another of the new laws fixes the
weight of loaves of bread that may be
sold in the state. The weights fixed are
IL, is and "a ounces and two pounds
also larger loayes in any multiple of tue
half-pound unit. A special provision
permits the sale of a 20-ounce loaf if it
be labeled on the wrapper in large type,
mot standard weight loaf, 20 ounces
net"
This Law also makes the wrapping OF
bread in the bakery mandatory and con-
tains strict provisions as to sanitation oil
baskets and containers.
The sale of denatured alcohol is regu-
lated by another act, which is similar
TO the present wood alcohol law. Every
package in which denatured alcohol is
sold must be labeled poison" All the
new measures become effective July l.

URGE POULTRY RAIsERS
TO EXILE ALL ROOSTERS

Maintaining tha; the present low
prices received by farmers for eggs make
it all the more important that every egg
brought TO market be a good egg, the
state food commissioner has decided to
revive Rooster Day this year Saturday,
June IL, has been chosen as the date
for disposiDg of all male birds in the
barnyard aocks, and on that day farm
ers are urged to take every rooster to
market. Hotels, restaurants and every
person who enjoys fresh eggs should
help the cause along by ordering in ad-
vance roosters for Sunday dinner, June
18th
The ease with which fertile eggs spoil
| is SO we'll known that all careful egg
producers now keep their focks of lay
! ing hens free from male birds during
the entire year Fertilized eggs become
stale within two days in warm summer
weather, while infertile eggs withstand
heat much longer, says Commissioner
Frary, and the removal of roosters is
therefore simply a means of insuring
fresh eggs in the farmers basket, pro-
yided, OF course, he will gather them
every day, keep them in a cool, dry
place and market them as often as twice
a week.
