A FAMILY DISCOVERS WHEAT

A FAMILY DISCOVERS WHEAT Perhaps this report from a family up where the north begins vii lem courage timid ones elsewhere tc have go at a peck of wheat.
 The first reform in our household, writes the real boss, was :. after my husbands operation for duodenal ulcers, we sent for Guide to Right Eating" :. your mono graph Wheat to Eat" treaders may obtain a copy of the Guide for 10 cents coin or the Wheat monograph free on request-inclose stamped envelope bearing your address). The girls talked so much about wheat that we went so far as to buy a wheat grinder and a bushel of wheat. The wheat was dirty. After making several attempts to clean it, we finally found that by putting it between two window screens and using the attachment on our elec- trio cleaner which blows air through a steel tube fiat and narrow at the end, we could air clean the wheat. The dust particles dropped to the floor and the bits of stalk we picked out by hand.
 We put the wheat twice through the grinder and then through our flour sieve to separate the flour from the husk. We use the fine flour for all baking purposes and cook the rest as breakfast cereal, scorning all fancy breakfast foods.
 The flour makes delicious mufAns and excellent gingerbread. A whole wheat health pudding, steamed and ser.':d with lemon sauce is all the Christmas pudding we shall be in- terested in from now on. (Mrs. M. R)
 Ordinary wheat as it comes from the threshing machine is quite clean and fit to eat. If 1t doesn't look clean enough when you are ready to use 1t, Mrs. M. R.'s way of cleaning it is good, or the wheat may be washed with cold water by running the water through the wheat in 8 sieve.
 Hese's 8 smacking good recipe given, among many other good ones, in Bulletin 301-R2, U. s. Depart ment of Agrictulre bureau of home economies (to which you may write for a free cepy), Washington, D. c.
 Crowned Cracked Whole Wheat Porridge
 Pour the hot cracked whole wheat porridge into an oblong mold that has been rinsed with cold water. When cold cut into thin slices and brown in hot fat in a frying pan. Serve with brown sugar syrup.
 And coffee, T beg to add.
 Now, for goodness sake, don't write to me to find out where to get the hot cracked whole wheat porridge for making this sovereign breakfast dish. It isn't on the mar ket. You have to make 1t yourself, thus:
 Cracked Whole Wheat POrridge
 2 cups cracked whole wheat
 4to 6 cups boiling water
 teaspoon salt
 Stir the cracked whole wheat into the boiling water until thor oughly mixed. Cook slowly over the direct flame for 20 to 30 nain- utes, and stir occasionally. 7
 What, you don't know where to get the cracked whole wheat? Well. that Is easy. You crack the wheat yourself.

Todsy's Health Question

Q.-Would you kindly tell me if there are any harmful drugs in headache medicines? A.-Most headache remedies contain some coal tar product, the continued use of which is injurious. Such remedies should not be used except under advice of a physician.

 It is difficult enough for the aver { age persons stomach to digest the s fats of the foods that are eaten, { as necessary as they are, but some- times poor cooking can make such ! digestion even more difficult. Of curse, you needn't be re- 7 minded that taking too much fat 7 will cause digestive disturbance. . Foods that are excessively fat stay longer in the stomach than do those which are not so fat.
 When foods are cooked in fat, 5 She fat forms a coating over other foods and then delays action on these substances of the ferments and enzymes which are necessary to digestion.
 On top of all this, if fats are over- . heated in cooking, substances de- @eIop that may irritate the lining @f the stomach and of the intestines. 2 Dietitians point out that this is not the fault of the food, but of the cook who does not know how to pre- z;are or use fats properly.
 It is safe to say that as many di- Eestive troubles are caused by bad xnohing as by improper foods. The most easily dligested fat, next % that of eggs, is that of milk. This fB because the fat in milk is already emulsified, or broken up and held in s suspended state. In addition, milk rat generally contains more vitamin A than any other common food fat.
 Among the common food fats are those of butter, oleomargarine, lard, Ieottonseed, and other vegetable oils.
 
 Butter provides most vitamin A .zronl natural sources in our diets. Certain fish liver oils, as those of halibut or cod, are especially rich in yitarnin 4 and far richer in vitamin D than any natural food substance.
 Nevertheless. nutritional authori- ties are convinced that the vitamin D in butter is a factor of real irn- p0rtance for ordinary health.
 Simply because of these facts, nu- Eritinnal authorities are likely to

-REAUTY--.'.-'''''-' Glorifing
 Yourself
NEA Service Stan Writer
By Alicia Hart

 To be glamorous you don't nec- essarily have to be g raving beau- ty. In fact. # we use some of the screen stars es examples we dis cover that natural beauty doesn't have much to do .n.h the elusive quality which all wrTnen want. Many an actress has achieved glamor and fascination fnr her public by emphasizing what N.Zht be called bad feature or simply by playing Up one good point.
 First of all, keep in mind that you have to stand out vividly as an individual. You must be you no copy-cat tricks. Just because your best friend with the too-high fore head has emphasized 1t and made herself look fascinating, don't 60 ahead and point up your own high forehead unless you are perfectly sure the effect will enhance your allure.
 The best idea, of course, is to study your features = the bad ones as well as the good. Then learn how to make the most of the incest one. If you have unusually large eyes, but a rather bad chin line, use touch of mascara on your lashes and keep rouge well up on your cheek bones.
 If on the other hand, you have good mouth, but just average eyes, omit the mascara, use plenty of lipstick and place rouge just be- low cheek bones.
 Women with beautiful hair should go in for attention-getting cultures. Thick, luxurious locks lend them- selves well to halo braid effects. The beauty of handsomely shaped head can be emphasized by plain, brushed backward hairdress.

ForgetfuI Groom
Discarded by Bride
Lost on Honeymoon

CHICAGO. Oct. o U.s0.
Young Bruce Bacon, the forgetful
bridegroom, may now forget his
bride, too.
Last Friday Bruce came to Chi
cago on his honeymoon-with Mrs.
Bacon, from Charlevoix, Mich.
But he forgot where he left her
when he went out looking for a
Job, and police couldn't help him
because he also forgot her maiden
name.
Bruce left the police station to
seek a familiar landmark and
forgot to come back.
Yesterday, police found a suit
case which had been forgotten at
a bus station. Among assorted
necktieS, shirts, ETC., they found
a little note:
II have, decided we are too
different to be happy together,
here or anywhere. / decided to
have our marriage annulled as
we have not lived together as
man and wife, anyhow. And
learning in the newspapers Of
your predicament was the last
straw. Please do not try to
find me again, ever. Here's
luck. Your Used -TO-Be."

IT STORMS, SO
PETES JAILED

MINEOLA, Oct. 9.-Ordinarily
Peter Holufska Of Thomaston, L.
l., is a good father and husband
and a home-loving man. But a
change in the weather does some.
thing to him.
He has a habit, when it rains,
or SHOWS, according to the police,
of beating his wife and six chill.
dren and driving them out in the
storm.
Last winter he put his family
out in the midst of a snowstorm
and served 80 days in jail for it.
All told, he has been jailed four
times since 1881 for this peculiar
habit, police records show.
So it was no surprise to the
police when, during last nights
heavy rain, the six Holufska chill
dren, ranging from four to 19
years old, were found tramping
around Thomaston.
Their father had beaten them
and locked them out Of their
home. they said, and even then
was beating their mother before
turning her out.
Police found Holufska, a Polish
citizen ten years in this country,
hiding in a chicken coop behind
his fairly expensive home.

KIDNAP MAP
IS LINKED TO
ROBINSON, SR.,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 8
UNS0.-The story Of how
Thomas Robinson, sr., at first de-
MED and then admitted drawing
a crude map Of the Indianapolis
kidnap hideout of Thomas Robin.
son, jr., was to be resumed today
in the trial of the Elder Robinson
and Mrs. Frances A. Robinson,
father and wife of the fugitive ab-
ductor.
The nervous little brunette and
her grazing buSineSslike father-in-
law are charged with completely
in the snatching away Of Mrs.
Alice Speed Stoll, pro minent
young Louisville society matron.
The map, which has been placed
in evidence and identified by
Oman, is the strongest link to
connect them with the crime so
far. If the story of the map holds
up, it may brin,, their conviction
under the "Lindbergh law" with
death as a possible penalty.
Government witnesses t IN m
selves killed a number of points
in the Governments case yester-
day, so that a request for a di-
rected verdict of acquittal is ex-
pected when the stream of Gov.
ernment witnesses ends today or
tomorrow.
Expect Directed Verdict
M. C. Falkner, Federal agent
from Chicago, told how his assiS-
tants searched the elder Robin
sons bedroom and found an
apartment plat. Referring to
Robinson, sr., he testified:
'He said he didn't know what
It was. Then he admitted max
ing the, plat himself. He said
it was q garage or small house
he had done for some friend
and that he didn't recall where
II was. A note on it was in a
private code he used in his
business, he said.
Later, he admitted getting
the information from which
the plat was drawn from his
daughter-in.law."
The next explanation Of Robin
son, Sr., was that he thought he
was to deliver the ransom money
and had Mrs. Robinson give him
the description of the place so
he would have the address on it
in code and know just how to
enter the building.
Several Government witnesses
considerably damaged the Gov
ernment's case. c. c. Stoll ad-
mitted under cross-examination
that the elder Robinson was
named agent for the Stolls and
that he had offered to put the
agreement in writing.
The apparent dodging course Of
Mrs. Robinson in taking the kid
nap money to indianapolis was
explained as a ruse agreed on
with the Stolls to prevent possible
hi-jacking. There was even an
offer to have a Federal man go
along, it was testified.
