USE WHOLE WHEA1
FLOUMT’S BETIER
Seventy Million Bushels of Wheat
Can Be Saved Each Year By Using
the Whole Wheat Grain.
By Ruth A. Perk, Head of Department
of Home Economics, Univer
sity of Arkansas.
Our soldiers must have bread. The
entire world is hungry and has been
depending upon America’s wheat crop
which now proves to be far below the
average. Something must be ddnr.
Patriotic mothers can relieve the sit
uation by asking for and using only
flour made from the entire wheat
grain. It lias been estimated that the
utilization of the entire wheat grain
instead of three-fourths of the grain
commonly used in the manufacture o'
white flour will save 70 million bush
els of wheat annually in the United
States. Do your bit. If you can
not buy the whole wheat flour,
make it. The grain can easily
be prepared.
Directions For Making Entire Wheat
Flour At Home.
Look over the wheat and remove
any chaff or foreign material which
may be present. Grind the wheat in
a "home” mill. If this mill cannot be
obtained from one of your home mer
chants it can be secured from any
large mail order house. Any type of
mill from the small one turned by
hand to the large ono run by a motor
will do. Put the wheat through the
mill several Unit's until it is of the
desired fineness. The product should
be of a Bomewhat coarser grade of
flour than the sifted, pulverized,
bleached product to which we have
been accustomed. However, the coarse
meal-like flour produces a very pala
table and wholesome bread.
Directions For Making Entire Wheat
Bread.
One cake of yeast.
(Dry yeast for overnight process).
(Compressed for quick process).
One pint of water.
Three tablespoons of brown sugar.
(Two tablespoons molasses If de
sired).
One tablespoon .salt.
Onq tablespodn shortening.
Sufficient flour to make a batter.
Dissolve the yeast cake and sugar
(and molasses if used) in one cup of
warm water, ^jet stand for fifteen
minutes. Melt the shortening in one
cup of hot water. Add the salt and
tet-'Stand until Mwt-liqirid Ja lHteewarpu
Next add sufficient entire wheat flour
to make a batter. If dry yeast is
used, let the mixture rise over nightj
If the compressed yeast is employed,
let it rise until it is quite light. Next
pour the hatter into a nest of entire
wheat flour containing one cup of luke
warm water. Fold mixture carefully
at first so as to fill the bubbles of
gas with the flour as it is being added.
Continue to work in the'entire wheat
flour until sufficient has been adde-l
to make a dough. Next knead the
bread. (White flour, corn starch, rice
flour, etc., are better to use on the
bread board than the whole wheat
flour to prevent the dough from stick
ing). Let the dough rise until it has
doubled in size, then knead and let
rise again in the bread pans. Bake
in a moderate oven for seventy to
eighty minutes.
Variations in Whole Wheat Bread.
Corn meal makes an excellent ad
dition to the entire w-heat loaf. The
corn meal may be added in a dry
state or scalded and allowed to cool
until it is lukewarm before adding
to the mixture. The proportion of
one and one-half to two cups of corn
meal may be added to above recipe
when the batter is made into a dough.
Another combination which is palat
able consists of adding cottonseed
meal, one and one-half cups to this
general recipe. Soy bean flour may
be added in the same proportion as
the cottonseed meal. Rice flour may
also he substituted for some of the
wheat flour, one and one-half cups of
rice flour to the proportions given in
the foregoing reoipc. The boiled rice
may also be added, one cup to the
recipe.
These substitutes may be added
with the wheat flour to the batter
which is to be made into a dough.
ABANDON FOOD PREJUDICES.
Don’t Be Finicky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en
joyed in one section are practically
unknown in other sections of the
country. Learn to know all the good
things; not a few only.
People too easily get into food ruts
—insist on eating only the food th*>y
are used to and refuse to give a fair
trial to others This causes undue
demand for certain staples, with re
sulting scarcity or high prices when
crops are short. At the same time
other valuable foods may be relative
ly cheap and available.
Cook Food Properly: Learn how
to cook all kinds of staple foods and
to serve them in a variety of ways.
Simple dishes well prepared are bet
ter than expensive foods badly cook
ed. Many persons are prejudiced
against certain good foods because, j
when first tried, the foods were im
properly cooked or prepared. Remove
from your vocabulary “don’t like” or
“can't eat.” Most individual preju
dices against widely popular foods are
either imaginary" or'Baseless" Try to
like every simple food; give It a fair
trial.

MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY
Having No Necessity to Use Wings
to Escape Enemies, Those Mem
bers Ceased to Develop.
Of the 70 kinds of birds existing in
New Zealand, 30 are found nowhere
else, and of this number by far the
larger portion is flightless; this, no
doubt, owing to the fact that for ages,
ever since the sea swallowed up a con
tinent, leaving only the Islands com
prising the present Dominion of New
Zealund, there have been no destruc
tive carnivora In the land, except those
small ones imported recently to aid in
abating the rabbit pest, and, having no
enemies, the birds also had no use for
wings, which ceased to develop, and as
years roiled by left many species with
only little nubbins for wings and ab
solutely without power of flight.
Centuries ago there were in exist
ence at least three varieties of gigan
tic birds, two of which were as lurge
in body as the fabled roc, the rescuer
of Sinbad the sailor. These included
the Hapagornis, the Dinornis qr Moa
and the Cnemiornis, which was a gh
gantlc goose. The Moa became ex
tinct some 500 years ago. It was a
flightless bird, said by tradition to
have been a hunter of humans, a man
eater, was of varying size and ex
tremely plentiful.
Had to Have "Atmosphere.”
That actors cannot labor without at
mosphere was demonstrated the other
•lay, when a’ man went amidst of a
hundred or more idle thespians who
were holding down the curbstone on
the Rialto, and said aloud: “I want to
hire about 20 men on contract. If any
of you men want work, follow me.”
Eighty-seven disengaged thespians
followed the mysterious stranger to
his sumptuous suite of offices on For
ty-second street, according to the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. There the mysterious
stranger faced the multitude and
said: “Three and a half a day for
you. Will you take it?” “What kind
of a show is this?” several actors de
manded. “All you’ve got to do is to
push a wheelbarrow across a plank
eight hours a day and get three-fifty.”
And then they all walked away, mut
twing grievously and wondering
where, as artists, they were at. The
mysterious stranger was a building
contractor. And because he could not
get wheelbarrow men and sand shov
elers he was compelled to stop work
on a skyscraper.
Fixing the sheriff.
Ephraim got Into trouble In Waco
county and beat the sheriff over the
line by about three Jumps. He migrat
ed to a distant part of the state und,
seeking a livelihood, turned to preach
ing. He prospered In the new com
munity, which knew nothing of his past
in Waco. Then, one night at camp
meeting, Ephraim looked from the
platform into the eyes of a man In a
front row. The new arrival was not a
stranger. He was from Waco county.
Ephraim led through the singing and
then the time for the preaching came,
lie mopped his brow and began:
“Bredren, Ah was goin' to preach dls
evenin’ on a tex’ out er de Ol’ Testa
ment. But It’s done put In mah min’
to change. An’ dls is de tex’ now from
Romans”—he pointed at the stranger
with a meaning finger: ‘“Ef yo’ know
me, doan’ say nuthln’, an’ Ah’U see yo’
afterward!’ ”—Cleveland Leader.
