WAR BREAD
, MAY BE USED
Whole Wheat Bread May Take the
Place of Southern Biscuit as a War
Emergency and Is Healthier.
That whole wheat bread may be a
profitable substitute for the Southern
biscuit during the prevailing high
prices of all food products is the opin
ion of Miss Isabelle Thursby. Special
ist in Home Economics with the Ex
tension Division of the University ft
Arkansas and U. S. Department of
Agriculture, who says:
"Whole wheat bread substituted tor
the Southern biscuit is not only a
good war emergency measure, but it
Is more economical and more health
ful than white flower bread.
Whole Wheat In Diet Highly Praised.
"For whole wheat as food, hardly
too much can be said in its praise.
It comes as near being a perfect food
as any we know, and a diet of whole
wheat produces more endurance than
a meat diet and those who live on a
diet of whole wheat have less tenden
cy to fatigue.”
"There are a number of old-fashion
ed mills in Arkansas and it oflght to
be easy to obtain both old-fashioned
corn meal and wheat flour. Wheat
flour in the form that nature intended,
and not robbed of its bran, middlings
and shorts—the brain, nerve, bone
and blood food. Bran, though indi
gestible, does not give people indiges
tion, but on the other hand is the
greatest cure known for the most com
mon disease in the world—constipa
tion, ‘the mother of all diseases.’ "
Method of Obtaining Whole Wheat
Flour Inexpensive.
"A power mill for grinding wheat
and corn can be obtained for about
*25 00 and a small grist mill which
wijl do the work for a small family
can be obtained for as little as 50
cents. It is said that a coffee mill
properly adjusted will do the work
effectively. In view of these facts,
would it not be well for every Arkan
sas housewife to buy whole wheat
and grind it for bread? Surely this
would be much better since wheat in
this form even at the prevailing high
prices qost a little more than $2.00
per bushel, while if purchased in rhe
form of some of the breakfast foods
on the market it has been estimated
would cost at least $32.00 a bushel.
In addition, whole, wheat bread has
been proven conclusively to be much
better for the health of the family
than the Southern biscuit.
Something more than one-quarter
of a century ago the milling of flour
became a fine art. The change came
about for two reasons. It seemed ne
cessary to make » flour which could
be stored for long periods of time and
the women of America became imbued
with the idea that the desirable shade
in certain foods was the colorless
"color” of chalk. The mills yielded
to the force of circumstances and
thely whitened flour to the pallor of
death. This was accomplished by tak
ing off the bran coat which lies just
inside the hull or Chaff. The bran
was not thought to be of very much
use anyway, but neither the millers
nor the housekeepers ever had heard
of a vitamine molecule, nor knew that
they as accessory food substitutes
were worth their weight in gold to the
consumers of flour nor that these
molecules are located in the bran and
thus they killed the goose that lays
the golden egg of health in every
grain of wheat.”
Bread Leavened By Yeast is
Recommended.
"These vitamines which are re
moved in file too highly milled wheat
flour or corn meal may also be lost or.
perhaps, rendered less useful in cook
ing. The evil in th? use of these
highly milled flour Is said to be In
creased by nicfking the^iread with so
da instead of yeast for all alkali (bak
ing powder)’ left in the biscuit or corn
bread destroys more of the vitamines
For this reason, bread leavened by
means of yeast is to be recommended, j
Soda should never be used in bread
unless sufficient sour milk or other
acid is added to fully nutralize* the
alakalinity of the baking soda.”
Soda in Corn Bread An Evil.
•Professor Voegtuin, with the Pub
lic Health Service, says that, soda in
corn brend is an evil which was not
used until it was found that highly
milled corn meal, ‘when mixed with
salt water, did not yield a bread of
the game lightness as the old-fashion
ei meal.’ Soda raised, or quick hot
breads, are much to commonly used
in the South.”
Whole Wheat Boiled, Excellent
Breakfast Food.
"Whole wheat, boiled, is an admira
ble breakfast food. It is more nutri
tious and more wholesome and far
less expensive than many of the man
ufactured and widely advertised
breakfast foods on the markets. The
wheat, after being thoroughly washed
and dried, may be ground in the coffee
mill at home for the breakfast certa!
—and even line enough for breed
making.”
"All coarse cereals require long
cooking, from three to five hours, pre
ferably overnight in the tireless cook
er. A home-made fireless cooker can
be made for less than 50 cents and
every housekeeper should have one if
for no other use than for serving the
■fcTJtlSTes Mast-cereal."
Persons Have “Cold Feet”
In a Literal Sense When
Afraid, Scientists Find.
When we accuse a mnn of being
afraid to do something, \fe frequently
soy he has “cold- feet,” but few realize
the actual physiological connection
which exists between fear and the tem
perature of the feet.
There is, however, a very definite
and good reason why the expression
‘‘cold feet” came to be connected with
the emotion of fear. Worry and fear
are very closely allied In their general
meaning and their effect on human
beings. Fear is an exaggerated form
of worrying. .
Of all the physical ills which we
needlessly and unconsciously bring
upon ourselves the most are dolibtiess
patlsed by worry. Hurrying through
our daily tasks and pleasures at
breathless speed is bad enough, but
to worry about future ills is far worse.
It Is well enough to look into the
future and provide to our best ability
against misfortunes, but when this
foresight amounts to seeing only the
phantoms in our path, it is nothing
short of slow suicide.
worry ana lour imve u very ucui*
mental action upon certain glands of
Internal secretion which control our
health and poise. Physicians are fast
accumulating Important data to meas
ure and induce the healthy action of
these glands, among which the thyroid
is one of the most important. But it
seems impossible to hope for any
remedy that will repair ail the harm
worry can do these glands.
The heart action becomes irregular
and intermittent when you worry; all
the symptoms of heart disease appear;
the respiration is repressed; the entire
digestive tract becomes paralyzed for a
time, and the circulation of blood to the
extremities diminishes. The hands and
feet become actually cold to the touch.
To tell a man that he has “cold feet”
amounts to telling him that he lacks
courage to take a certain stop which
he thinks he would like or ought to
take. In consideration of the subject
lie undergoes a nervous strain known
ns worry and this actually causes a
physical coldness of the extremities.
The Bet Was Off.
Two experienced anglers were fish
ing. One sat down on the pier, while
tlie other stood. Just before beginning
operations they made a wager with
each other as to who would make tlie
biggest, catch of fish.
They had been fishing for about half
an hour with little or no success when
John, who was standing, lost ins bal
ance and fell off tlie pier,
j A.s he went headlong past Dick, the
i latter yelled:
“Hi, John, If you’re goin’ to dive for
’em, the bet’s off!” _
Deceiving One’s Husband or Wife
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
So you think you love hie, do you?
Well, it may be so;
But there are many ways of loving
1 have learned to know—
Many ways and but one true way,
Which is very rare;
The counterfeits look brightest
Though they will not wear.
A man thinks that it Is no harm to
tell his wife a fib, as to why he stayed
out an hour or so
later than usual
of an evening. If
he takes a drink
with a crowd of
convivial compan
ions, he doesn't
hesitate to tell ills
wife — who no
tices at once the
odor of juniper
l) e r r i e s on his
breath—he had to
take a customer
from out of town
to the nearest
cafe, taking a
drink with him, of
course, etc., etc.
But let a wife
deviate ever so
slightly from the truth and her hus
3and will look upon her with reproach,
not to say stern anger. Much depends
upon which one is telling the fib.
Many a wife thinks it is no harm
to tell her husband she pays so much
for the family upkeep and clothes,
ivhen in fact she has managed to save
j juite a little sum by her shrewd bar
S gaining, salting it down for a rainy
i
day. She thinks she Is perfectly justi
fied in tills course. The husband of
such a woman never knows really
“where he is at.”
He believes that it actually costs
more to run the house than It really
does. How much better it would be
for the wife to take her husband into
her confidence, telling him that she
made purchases under the figure and
she has put by the balance for their
mutual good later on.
As for deceiving him about the hab
its of her home folk that is quite an
other story. Their faults and their
follies are their own affairs. She has
no right to exploit them. If he finds
them out he cannot blame her for
keeping mum. He will have all the
more confidence in her, realizing she
will keep bis affairs to hersejf and
not tell them about his shortcomings
or troubles in a burst of confidence.
Married couples should be careful
j as to which tells each other the first
fib, and stop uttering It as it rushes
to their lips. To love truly each must
have confidence in the other. If either
is suspected of deliberately falsifying
to the other, one does not know how
far he or she could trust the other.
Little fibs lead to graver und greater
ones.
Happy is the husband who can say
in nil ttilth, “My wife has never know
ingly deceived me even in the most
trifling affair.” Happy is the wife
who can say the same of her husband.

White House Health Hints,
Drink a lot of water, get the re
quired amount of sleep and “knock
on wood” when you are boasting
about It, and you’ll always have good
\ health.
That is the health hint dropped at
' the White House by Secretary Tu
multy, in discussing his vigor and
“pep.”
“I haven’t been sick a day since I
have been at the White House"
(knock), he said, "and 1 am feeling
better now than I have ever since I
came to Washington, which Is sure
feeling good (knock). I attribute it
ill to getting my sleep, drinking a lot
>f water and constantly ‘knocking on
rood.’ ”—DouisvlUe Courier-Journal.
