SOLDIERS GRADUATE AS OFFICERS Boys at Camp Meade Make Good Record and Carry Off Many Honors. — Camp Meade, Md.—The student sol- j diers seeking commissions in the offi cers’ training school at Camp Meade have received their diplomas and now , await the call to service as officers, i which will come as the need of the service demands. The Colored soldiers who attended the school made a most enviable record, having produced a higher number of eligibles in propor tion to numbers than the white broth ers-in-arms who were in the school. There were nineteen Colored students and sixteen passed. Of the three who failed one was dropped because of physical disability, he having suffered | from pneumonia during the term ot study, therefore but two of the nine teen actually failed.

Office Lou* 3718 R ***************** I ----- - ----- HELP IN 50-50 WHEATJ’ROGRAM Thousands of Retail Grocers Sup port Food Administration Rules. SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY. New Wheat Saving Program Demand ed — Allied Food Shortage In creases—America Must Feed Fighters. Explaining the United Stntes Foot! Administration’s new 50-50 wheat reg ulations is a war time task the Ameri can grocer has gladly shouldered. Many stores are already displaying their Food Administration wheat sav ing jdedge cards, that they have sign ed, agreeing to carry out the new wheat program. Each flour customer is now requir ed to buy one pound of cereal substi tute for every pound of wheat flour. The substitute may be of one kind or assorted. This 50-50 sale is made by weight and not by value of the com modities. There is. of course, no reg ulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat flour at all. A wide variety of substitutes has been provided: Cornmeal, com flour, edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean flour, Feterlta flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour. Graham and whole wheat flour con stitute an exception to the national regulation. Either of these commodi ties may he sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat fljur— that Is, five pounds of graham or wheat flour counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour. Mixed flours form another excep tion. Where any flour contains 50 per cent, or less of wheat It may be sold without any substitutes. Where the flour Is mixed at the rate of (Vi Iier cent, wheat and 40 per cent, of other Ingredients an additional 20 per cent of substitutes must he purchased by the consumer. Where necessity Is shown specially prepared Infant’s and invalid’s food containing flour may be sold. That the approved substitutes may be assorted Is a fact many grocers and housewives overlooked for a time. For instance, if a customer wishes to buy a 24 pound sack of flour 'he nec essary substitutes might be nssorted as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds. None of the substitutes should be considered as a waste purchase. There are many household uses for each. The eight pounds of cornmeal can be made into cornbread, com muf- j fins or used In the baking of wheat 1 bread. Cornstarch Is useful In making cus tard, thickening gravy or may he used j In cake baking. Com grits fried like mush forms a delicious dish, or It may be used in baking com bread. Rolled oats Htre used largely as breakfast por ridge or In oatmeal cookies or in making muffins. Buckwheat flour may be used in bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of the wheat flour, but is especially choice in the form of buckwheat cakes for breakfast. With 11 wheatless meals needed each week In America to provide enough wheat for the allies, the Food Administration believes the substitutes will all be used to advantage. USE LESS WHEAT. The allied nations have made further Increased demands on ' us for hreadstuffs — demands that Americans are obligated to meet. In the meantime America’s meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to come hy the unprecedented shiiiping to market of hogs that averaged 232 pounds ench in stead of 203 pounds—the nor mal. The United States Food Ad ministration, endeavoring to ad just the international food bal ance, promptly removed certain restrictions in this country on the use of meat and at the same time asked for a smaller con sumption of hreadstuffs. We are asked to observe only I one meatless day each week— Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. But our bread ration must be held to a minimum. In altering its food conserva tion program the Food Admin istration emphasizes that the food situation is of necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the precarious transportation prob lem, both In overseas shipping and in America's overburdened transportation system. The Food Administration will keep the American people fully and frankly advised of each change In the developing situa tion that they may know defi nitely the part their food sac rifices play in the world war. L BIG HERDS GONE World War Waste* Europe’s Meat Supply. American Stock Raisers Co-operate With Food Administration In Con servation Measures. It Is probable that Europe for many jyears after the war will look to a great extent to America for Its meat supply. Europe's herds ore dwindling under ■war's demands faster than they can be -replenished. When the German armies retired from occupied portions of France and lielglunj approximately 1,800,000 head jof cattle were appropriated. This ad dition virtually safeguarded Germany from cattle shortage other nations now suffer. In England some 2,400,000 acres of grass lands have by compulsory meas ures been forced into grain production, thus reducing pasturage and hay lands. A declining scale of maximum meat prices for live cattle was ordained in England, as follows: For September, $17.76 per hundred pounds; October, $17.28; November and December, $16.08, and for January, $14.40. The evident Intent of this mensure was to drive the beef animals into market as soon ns possible. According to official French figures, the cattle of France have decreased to a fotal of 12,341,000 ns compared with 14,807,CNiO in 1913. Today, due to lack of forage principally, France Is pro ducing only one gallon of milk where before the war two and one-half gal lons were produced. Meantime the United States food ad ministration has taken steps to con serve our flocks and herds and to in crease their numbers. The stock breed ers of tills country show a disposition to co-operate with die government in this. For many years it has been a prac tice among many of the dairy people of this country to kill male calves at birth and in many instances the fe males If not needed to replenish their herds rather than go to the expense of maturing them into veal. The high prices of meat caused the virtual dis continuance of this killing. Another encouraging fact Is 75 per cent, of calves killed for veal tills year were males. Somebody has very aptly said that the wars of the world have been won with grease, meaning that bacon and lard have been as essential to success In war as powder, which is true. The hogs of Europe have been very greatly sacrificed to present day n<**ds. This makes the American burden all the more heavy and makes doubly es sential an Increased pork production in this nation. In Italy grain is now forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den mark under a recent order one-fourth of the bogs were ordered to be killed. It is estimated that one-half have now been killed. SEIZURE OE HOUSEWIVES’ FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE The government hns never consid ered any plan of .selalng foodstuffs owned by householders. Nor is there tiny policy of this kind suggested for the future. In spite of this fact, the United States food administration has been obliged repeatedly to issue official de nials of rumors that the government Intends commandeering preserves and canned goods put up In American homes. These rumors were originated partly by pro-German propagandists and part ly by conscienceless grafters, who sought to profit through buying from misinformed housewives. The year 1818 will see home canning and preserving practiced on greater scale than ever before in the nation’s history, officials in Washington believe. And they are assuring all patriotic housewives that foods so saved are theirs, and theirs nlone. NUTRITIOUS CORN BREAD. One New York hotel has arranged ! a thoroughly patriotic corn bread I recipe. It combines cornmeal with ! rye flour, both of which are being con sumed in greater quantities this year In order to release wheat flour for the allied nations. This recipe fills a large pan—10 by 22 inches—and con tains the following Ingredients: One quart milk, four ounces butter substi tute, ten ounces light syrup or honey, three eggs, pinch salt, two pounds cornmeal, one pound rye flour and two ounces baking powder. The butter and syrup are thorough ly mixed. Then add the eggs gradual ly, pour in the milk, then add the rya flour mixed with the cornmeal and baking powder. Bakt In a hot ova*.
