THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAY8:
There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ac
complish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element in proportion to its means.
It is a matter of equality of bur
den; a matter of minute saving
and substitution at every point in
the 20 000,000 kitchens, on the 20,
000 000 dinner tables, and In the
2.000000 manufacturing, whole
sale and retail establishments of
the country.

These few lines from J. E.
Haynes, McAlester, Okla., de
serve careful reading by every
one who values good health: “I
find no medicine which acts so
mildly and quickly with good
results as Foley Cathartic Tab
lets. They empty the stomach
and bowels, giving all of the di
gestive organs a healthy act

DELICIOUS CORN MUFFiiJS.
Here’s an old fashioned reeipe for
corn muffins that has recently been
revived and used with unusual success
in several of the larger New York ho
tels: To make three and a half dozen
muffins take one quart milk, six ounces
butter substitute, twelve ounces of
light syrup or honey, four eggs, pinch
of salt, two ounces baking powder,
one and a half pounds cornmeal and
one and a half pounds rye flour. The
butter and syrup should be thoroughly
mixed; then add the eggs gradually.
Pour in the milk and add the rye flour
mixed with cornmeal and baking pow
der.
UNCLE EBEN’S PHILOSOPHY.
“Speaking of preparedness,” said
Uncle Eben, “dar ain’t no amount of

NOT BEING CONSULTED.
“How does your boy like army
life?”
“Fairly well. He has one criticism
to make though. The officers don’t
take him into their confidence.”
HIS JOB.
“How does your son like his war
experiences ?”
“Not much. He says fighting the
Germans for him so far has bees
mostly peeling potatoes.”
CORN WILL WIN !
DEMOCRACY'S WAR
______
America's Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATION'S CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threatr
ened Europe.
America’s great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,000,000,000 bushels, will save the
world’s food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be
lieve.
Corn is the nation’s best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In a state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nation’s surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nation’s main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nation’s battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent, corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread—using corn meal entire
ly—is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ
ated in the war.
xnere are a score or corn produces
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use In the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar Is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
Is appearing on the market In large
quantities. It comes from the germ of
the corn.
PERQUISITES.
“The head waiter seems to scorn
my modest tip.”
“Did you offer him real money?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder he scorned the small
change. What’s money to a man who
can collect all the left-over bread and
beefsteak and potatoes and every
thing?”
Car of Mules Coming
Will have a car load of good
mules here between the 24th.
and 30th. Most people say
they’re going to sell their's cheap,
but I am going to sell mine as
high as I can. How’s that?
