r EMM NEEDS FOOD Food Administration Declares It Is aa Absolute Sin to Waste Pood?Food Has Become 8aered. Europe is still sending an insist enl: jcall for more food. We must send ltj if the wnr la to eo on efficiently. Ill we eat It ail we cannot ship it, and the food administration has alreadj tried to picture how much that wheat is needed by people who will starve 11 | they do not get it, the food admlnistra tlon states. "For the least bit of heedlessnest on your part in food conservation sonu one somewhere In the world must suf ' fer privation," an official statement I declares. "The food administration! has mastered the problem of Ameri j ca's food in yuch a way that everj I 'ounce of food conserved and kept In the currents of trade goes to an einptj stomach In Europe. "It Is an absolute sin to waste food Food has become sacred. "Food means life; It means somebody's life, and you cannot escape responsibility. "There Is no waste of food among the allied nations." war RRFin nnsTiY to BRITISH GOVERNMENT Every year the British government pays 1200,000,000 toward the cost of that nation's war bread. That Is the principal reason why English bread prices are lower today to the consumer than In America. Incidentally the British bread Is much poorer than the American. Great Britain has taken over all home grown grain, bonght at an arbitrary price, and all imported wheat bought In markets ef the world at prevailing prices. This Is turned over to the mills by the government at a price that allows the adulterated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents. The two pound loaf costs 9 cents, and the one pound loaf sella for 5 cents. In milling, however, 14 per cent, more flour Is extracted from the wheat than In America. And there is a compulsory adulteration of 20 per cent. and an allowable adulteration of 50 per cent Compared with American bread, the British product Is only about 65 per cent, pure at its best. In France, under conditions somewhat similar, but ^vlth a larger extraction. the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents. AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS "We have already exported the whole of the surplus of the 191T wheat harvest, over and above the normal de mends of our own population. It is necessary, therefore, for the food ad ministration to restrict export of wheal so as to retain In the United States sufficient supplies to carry our own people until the next harvest "Therefore all exports of wheat from now forward are limited entlrl? to volume of saving made by the American people In their consumption of wheat and wheat products. "We continued wheat shipments for December as far as our situation allowed, but even with all the conservation made we were still unable to load several hundred thousand tons of foodstuffs urgently required by the allied atlons during the month of December aloneu" HERBERT HOOVER. WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD. Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious than bread baked with wheat flour alone. Thousands of American families today are using this mixed flour bread, and in so doing are enabling America to provide more wheat flour for the allies. Here's a tested recipe for this bread: Take one and a half cups of milk, water or a mixture of the two; one-half cake compressed /east, one and a half teaspoons salt, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon of fat if desired, one cup cornnieal and two cups wheat flour. Put one and a half cups of water, the cornraeal, salt, sugar and fat (If used) Into a double boiler and cook twenty minutes. The water Is sufficient only to soften the meal a little. Allow the meal to cool to about the temperature of the room and add the flour and yeast mixed with the rest af the water. Knead thoroughly, make into loaf, place In pan of standard size, allow to rise until nearly fills the pan and bake 45 or 50 minutes. It Is hardly practicable to use a greater percentage of cornnieal than this even in emergencies, for bread so jaarte differs very imie irom dhkpu njush. Less cornmeal can he used and in suen a case the general meth' od given above may be followed. It Is possible to make a yeast raised com bread without first cooking the cornmeal. In this case not more than one cupful of meal should be used to four cupfuls of Hour. In other respects the bread is mixed and baked as In the above recipe. * BIG CORN CROP It MOW UnVINC [ IV nuiv muvuw More Than 3,000 Million Bushels Raised in 1917?Gives Big Surplus. SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION America Beginning Greater! Conn Con umptlon in History, Using Cereal in Many Delicious Dishes. Corn, America's greatest cereal crop, la now moving rapidly to market. More ?han 8,000 million bushels? 30 bushels for every man, woman and child in America?were raised in 1917. It was a mighty crop. The actual increase is about 500 million bushels. And this extra store of gralu is coming on to the market in the nick of time, since the American wheat surplus has been sent to help feed famine threatened Europe. Just as it happened In the Colonial days, the War of the Revolution, and the Civil War, corn has actually become the nation's mainstay. In the entire list of America's food commodities there is no item that Is better than corn. In puddings, bread, corn pone, and as hominy combined with meat or eggs, corn is without a peer. Housewives are fast learning the large number of delicious dishes that may be made with corn and their families are benefiting by an increased nse of the cereal. Corn, more than any other cereal, contains all of the elements essential to maintaining life and health. In order that the fighting men abroad and in the army camps at home may he fed, and in order that actual famine may be kept from the nations associated with America In the war, the citizens of America are finding corn products delicious and palatable on "whoatles* days" and glory In the fact that "wheatless days" here mean more wheat for the war worn allied nations In Europe. England. France and Italy must be fed from America's great storehouse. They will get some corn?especially Italy?but most of their grain shipments must be wheat. Their ability to use corn is small compared to the facilities they have for using wheat And it Is the opinion of officials in Washington that the present is no time to try and change the eating habits of Europe. America's greatest use of corn will be in the form of corn bread and corn meal, mixed with wheat In the making of leavened bread. Mixed with 80 per cent wheat flour, Mn Ktt ncnd In hrPRd malt lng, producing a loaf more nutritions than bread baked with wheat alone. It Is a fact corn millers will verify that dozens of the large American bakers have been successfully using a corn flour In bread making for several years. Hominy grits, served at breakfast with a poached egg. or eaten at any other meal with meats or gravy. Is another nse ot corn that will become unusually popular during the war. Corn syrup to sweeten corn rakes, and corn oil for use In all kinds of cooking, are two more products that are already welcomed in thousands of American homes. THE UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION SAYS: Food saving Is In Its essenee the daily Individual service of all the people. Every group can substitute. and even the great majority of thrifty people can save a tittle ?and the more luxurleue elemente of the population can, by roduc*'?? ?in*oi* llvlna. save much. This meant no more than that wa should eat plenty, but wisely and without waste. Food Will Win the I War A LARGE part of the world Is coming to the position that ^ Belgium is in; coming to the stage where the pritaken a dominant position In the war. The American people must prepare themselves to sacrifice far more than was at first thought necessary. The cold facta are: France, Italy and England have just enough food to keep them going ten or twelve weeks. When America's food shipments stop? the allied nations begin consuming Into this slender store and begin a swift march into actual famine conditions?which would mean defeat in short order. Europe then must live on America's surplus. Your saving increases our available stocks Just that much and actually feeds some person in the countries with i which we are associated In our war against the Central Powers. Our surplus wheat has already been shipped to the allies. U. S.
