m BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH (iOVEHNMENT
K very y?*ar the Ilrltlah government
pays |200,?j00,000 toward Iho coat of
that nation's war bread. 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

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."

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

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.

There is much poverty, much oppres

"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."
