That Ih the principal reason why Kngllsh bread j prices are lower today to the consumer titan in America. Incidentally th llrltlsh bread Is much poorer tliun the American. Great Jirltaln has taken over all home grown grain, bought at on arbi trary price, and all Imported wheat bought In markets of the world nt pre vailing prices. This Ih turned over to the mills by the government at a price that allows tho adulterated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents. The two pound loaf costs 9 cents, and the one pound loaf sells for ft cents In milling, however, 14 per cent, more flour Is extracted from the wheat than In America. And there Is a com pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent and nn allowable adulteration of 'AJ per cent. Compared with American bread, the RiitlKh product Is only about GG per cent, pure at Its best In France, under conditions some what similar, but with a larger extrac tion, the four pound loaf s?lls for 10 , cer/t^ AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS "We have already exj>ort?'d the whole of the surplus o t the 1U17 when' harvest, over and above the normal de mandn of our own population. It Is necensary, therefore, for the foot] nil ministration to rest rlct export of wheat so as to retain In the United Slates sufficient supplies to carry our own people until the next harvest. "Therefore all exports of wheat from now forward are limited entlrh to volume of saving mode by tin* Amer lean people In thwlr consumption of wheat and wheat products. "Wo continued wheat shipment* for December as far na otir situation al lowed, but even with all the conserve tlon made we were wtill unable to loa?l several hundred thousand tons of food stuffs urgently required by the allied nations during the month of December alone." HERBERT HOOVER. WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD. Wheat-corn bread Is more nutritious than bread baked with wheat flour alone. Thousands of American fam ilies today are using this mixed flmir bread, and In so doing are enabling America to provide more wheat flour for the allies. Here's a tested reeli>e for tills bread: Take one and a half cups of milk, water or a mixture of the two; one-half ra^te compressed yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon of fat if desired, one cup cornraeal and two cups wheat flour. Put ono and a half cups of water the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat (If used) Into a double boiler and cook twenty minutes. The water Is suffi cient 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 of the water. Knead thoroughly, make Into loaf, place In pan of stand ard size, allow to rise until nearly Alls the pan and bake 45 or GO min utes. It Is hanlly practicable to use s greater perrentage of cornmeal than this even In emergencies, for bread so msde dlfTers very Jlttle from baked mash. I>ess cornmeal can be used and In sn^n a case the general meth od fl ven above may be followed. It Is possible to make a yeast ra!?ed corn bread without first cooking the rommeal. Jri this ess* not more than one cupful of meal shonld be used to four cupful* of flour In other re spects the bread In mixed aod baked ?a In the above recipe. In a Jutland Village. JITTI.AND. the low-lying, sandy peninsula whose name histori ans probably will employ to des ignate the great uhvb! battle fought off 1 1 h shores by the British and Germans, Is the continental |M?rtlon of Denniurk and comprises nearly two thirds the area of the kingdom (exclu sive of o onlal pos*esslou*)f but with considerably l?'s* than l?6lf the total population. It compares with Vermont in Hit?, but Ito-s *c of population three times as froat, says a bulletin or the National G?*ographlc society. Its most striking physical characteristic* are the fjords which out Into the sandy seaboard, part I cutely on the west coast. Of these the largest. Llmfjord, Is today a misnomer for since 1822 It has been a sound, Joining the waters of the North sea with the Kuttcgut and making un Island of the extreme north* era portion of the peninsula which ter minates lu a cape called the Kkaw. Owing to the character of the soil <in both hanks, the rapidity of the current and the violent Impact of the floating I Ice In the spring, only a pontoon bridge spanned this sound at Aalborg until recently. The highest point of land In Jutland, whtch Is also the highest In the king dom, Is a 504-foot "eminence" In a line of low hills near the center of the pen insula. Ancient Home of the Clmbrl. Jutland was the ancient home of the warlike Clmbrl, a tribe which for 12 years k??pt Rome in a state of panic, and which was the first Germanic host to make its way across the barrier of the Alps Into northern Italy, antici pating the descent of the Visigoths by five centuries. The Clmbrl came wlth ' kn the purview of recorded history In I 113 B. C.,, when, after having been driven from their northern home, sup posedly by North seu Inundations, and having made their wny southward through the German forests, they in flicted a signal defeat upon a Roman army under Consul Paplrlus Carbo at Noreia. Instead of following up their success Into Italy, the victors pushed westward Into the Ithlne valley. Four yeors later, however, they practically nad heen almost completely denuded of its forests. It wui not until 1800, two year* after r>enmark had breo forced to relinquish Schleswlg-Hoffcteln to Prussia and Austria. that the Danish people bejcan an appraisal of the lat ent agricultural possibilities of their remaining domain to aee If by cultiva tion they could compensate for their territorial losses. Col. K. Dalgas, an engineer oflleer of the Danish army, w#s the leading spirit In the orgunlza Tim* -e? the Danish Heath society, which begau to plant trr^; throughout the peninsula. a movement which Is still going forward and which has proved to be the salvation of the lai^d. Mountain firs were first planted and. these were succeeded by red spruce from America. These trees serve as a living barrier against the fierce sand drlvlug gales from the North sea. The interior of the peninsula is fast losing its barren aspect, more than 2, 500 square miles of heath having been redeemed by afTorestatlon. Oats, bar ley, beetroots and rye are now grown profitably, cattle and sheep find good pasturage, and the forests teem with deer and wood pigeons. Typical of the growth of towns In this rejuvenated areu is Hernlng, a settlement of 40 souls In 1800 and now a thriving com munity with u population of 5,000. Jutland has a familiar ring in the ear of every schoolboy for he remem bers that the Angles and the Jutes were among the first Germanic peoples to emigrate from the shores of the Baltic and settle In Britain. FEZ, A STRONGHOLD OF ISLAM Capital of Morocco Is Regarded a* a Fair Specimen of What tha Culture Produces. Fez lis the capital of Morocco. It is an odd mixture of progress and me dievalism, or tolerance and fanataclsm, of learning and superstition. These generalizations kro the typical reaction of the occidental visitor to the life and manners of Fez. As a matter of fart, writes Nlksah, Fez is no city of A Cattl? Fair in Jutland. i annihilated the Romans under Marios 1 Junius Sllanus on the field Arauslo, where 80,000 troops were slain. This terrible reverse sent u tremor of terror through the lawmakers on the ! Capitoline hill, and the constitution i was set aside In order that Marl us, ! fresh from his triumphs on African battlefields, might be Invested with consular powers for five years. He was I deemed the man of the hour and the ! only general who could turn back the tide of barbarians that had debouched j from Cimbrl Chersonese, the name given to Jutland. While this tribe ! poured over the Alps, driving the forces of Catullus before It across the Adlge and the Po. Mariu* administered a crushing dofrat at Aquae Sextiae in Gaul to the Cirabris' companions in arms, the Teutones. Tho consul then rushed back across tho Alps and at Campl Ksudll, near Vercelll, where a century earlier Hannibal had won his first victory on Italian soil, the In vaders were utterly annihilated, all the men being killed or captured while the women slew themselves and their chil dren in preference to being borno to Rome in slavery. Its Agricultural Regeneration. | Jutland's agricultural poverty dates , from the beginning of the sixteenth j century, by which time the peninsula ,j?<TfTTryidlctlons, but quite consistent in view of the fact that the culture of the Orient and Occident have proceeded along somewhat different lines. Fez is a stronghold of Islam and a fair specimen of what the culture produces. There is much poverty, much oppres sion, much disease; there is also much charity, a Justice that Is sometimes dis concertingly swift and an ntmosphere that can only b? described as one of resigned cheerfulness. Commerce is conducted on a ludicrously diminutive Kcale, hut the total of a month's troll ing in a six by ten emporium-, often mounts Into staggering figures. Slaves are still to be had by those who know where to buy, and religious feeling runs so high that several Europeans hnvo been killed for polluting the sa cred utmosphere of mosques with their presence. Popular ignorance often reaches to the point where the individ ual in question is not cognizant of the existence of the American continent, and in the library of Fez are numerous absolutely priceless treasures in the sl/ape of ancient tomes of learning. Certain books of Euclid, nev^r seen by European eyes, nre said to he guarded here. A enrage sijm in Yokohama says "Car* for Rent" In seven languages. Jlmmls Collins T?lla What H# law What Military Trtiniaf Do#* for Boy*. -Well, here we are J" exclaimed BU* lie, presenting his chum, Jlmmls Col li u*. "Very find to oee you, Mr. Collins," said Uncle Den with a smile. | "Aw," said Bilile, "Just call Mm Jlmmle. That's the only name he knows. lie's the pitcher of our base ball nine, and he's some pitcher, too. Just fee I of his arm.** ' "Well," said Uncle Dan. feeling. "That's a mighty good arm T "Now, boy a," said Undo Dan. "what do you want to talk about T" "Well," said Jlmmle, "I was down to Galesbnrg a few months ago when the boys came home from the Mexican I border. They looked fine. Everybody was surprised to see how straight they | stood snd bow manly they were. The boys seemed proud to wear the uni form. I tell you their muscles were as hard as noils. I heard Banker Uaskett say that the training and discipline the boyn had had was exactly what every boy in the country ought to have, and that now these boys could get a better Job at higher pay than they could have had before. Do you think that's so, Uncle Dan?" Uncle Dan replied? "I have a friend who employs hundreds of young men. He always gives boys having Had TOiiitury training the preference; he says it pays to do so. He finds they are more alert, more prompt, more courteous ; they know how to carry out orders; they are quicker to think and to act than those without training. He said from his experience he believed that six or eight months of intensive military training would add at least 20 per cent to a man's WAR TALKS By UNCLE PAN Number Tim AFTER FIVE MONTH8. The two pictures are of the tame young man. The first was taken the day he enlisted and the second after he had had five months' military titin Ing. His home Is in North Carolina. earning capacity, and that it was the best Investment any young man could make. "Billle, If you will go up to my room and bring my small handbag, I will let you see two photographs of the same young man, showing what only Ave months of Intensive training on the Mexican border did for him." The bag was brought. Uncle Dan, showing the pictures, said: "Well, here they are. They tell their own story and it is a mighty interesting one. The young man, before training, has a discouraged look ; he has seen | but little of the world. There was | very little In his surroundings to bring him out. When he Joined the colors and Uncle Sam took him In charge, life for him took on a new meaning. He saw a chance to do something and be something. He woke up. His cap tain says he is twice the man he was when he Joined the army. This may be one of the extreme cases," said Uncle Dan. MI can tell you, though, that war or no war, no ono thing will do the young m( of this nation so much good in so short a time as a few months of Intensive military training. It fits a man to fight his own life bat tles in the business world as well aa to defend his country and Its flag. "Nearly every civilized country gives Its boys military training. It Is com pulsory. It Is based upon the fact that it Is the duty of everyone to help de fend his country; and as war Is now carried on, no one can do much unless he Is trained. Also, the records show ? that the killed and wounded among untrained troops Is nearly three times as great aa it is with well-trained men ' who know how to fight and how to : protect themselves. By this plan a nation has trained men to defend her and the individual Is a stronger and better man for the training. "If the Chamberlain Bill for Mili tary Training is passed by congress, as it ought to be, the same thing would be done for millions of other young men throughout the land. Everybody ought to demand of his congressman and senators the passage of this bill." | "All right, sir, exclaimed Jlmmle, we will see Judge Browhell, Mr. Haskett, and Professor Slocum, and get then busy."

"Ho Is too weak and delicate to be In the service," she wrote. "He Is a blacksmith's helper by trade, and I would prefer him to stay at his last job."
