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

and even the great majority
of thrifty people can save a tittle

of the population can, by roduc*'??

This meant no more than that wa
should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.
Food Will Win the I

A LARGE part of the
world Is coming to
the position that
^ Belgium is in; coming
to the stage

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

mean defeat in short order.
Europe then must live on
