GRAHAM FLOUR HELP;
IN BREADPROBLEW
Uses All of the Wheat Instead
of but Seventy Per Cent,
as Does the White.
CHANCE TO HELP COUNTRY
By A. R. CROH.
Say "graham flour" to the grocer
man next time you buy flour. Tell
him you don't want that white stuff
that utilizes only 70 per cent of the
wheat and wastes the other 30 per
cent.
Thus you can help your country, for
graham flour utilizes 100 per cent of
the wheat. You can also help your
self, for graham flour is more nutri
tious than white flour.
I got considerably "het up" when
I saw an article stating that white
flour utilizes only 70 per cent of the
wlieat mat s no way to concerve
our wheat crop, I sez to myselt,
So I put on my hat and raincoat
and rubbers and went up to tne Up
dike mill on north Sixteenth street,
where I met Ben L. Yohe, the su
perintendent. I put the proposition
up to him.
"That's true," he said, as he took
out a pencil and did a little figerrir.g
on the front ot a aortnwestern
Miller."
Does Some Figuring.
"It takes four and a half bushels
of wheat to make a barrel of flour,
he said. "In other words, it takes
270 pounds of wheat to make 196
pounds of flour.
"Whole wheat flour, on the other
hand, contains every part ot the
wheat, doesn't it?" I asked.
"Whole wheat flour may contain
anything," said Mr. Yohe. "Some
times they take ordinary flour and
mix in middlings and bran and make
what they call whole wlieat flour. If
people want to use flour that contains
' all the wheat, they should use graham
flour."
"That is made oat of all the wheat?"
1 asked to make sure.
"Every bit of the wheat is used in
making graham flour," he said.
"Well, why on earth don't people
eat that?" I exclaimed. "It tastes iust
as good or better than the white
bread and everybody knows it's more
nutritious r.d better for your health,
And that(way we would utilize our
wheat crop 100 per cent instead of 70
per cent.
"Well," said the miller. "The only
reason is that many people prefer i
vprv white, color in hread. For nlv.
self, I don't. I think a nice brown is
a much more appetizing color.
Agrees With the Miller,
"Here, too," said I fervently.
"Another reason is that graham
flour wont always keip as well in
summer as white.
This, however, is not a strong ob
jcction. With reasonable care it will
keep all right.
"The government ought to pass i
law compelling everybody to use era-
ham flour, flour made from the whole
wheat, I declared. 1
Don't you agree with me, gentle
reader? Don't you think we ought to
do it even without a law?
Experiments show that white bread
alone will not sustain life for long.
Bread made from the whole wheat
will. From white flour the vitamines
phosphates and other mineral salts.
much ot the proteins, mcs of the fats
and a good deal of the carbohydrates
are bolted out The body needs these.
The stores don't have much graham
flour on hand. But when the house
wives begin demanding it they'll get
it soon enough. It's all ready in the
mills.
Use it and you'll help your country
and yourself. Don't forget. Say
"graham flour" to the grocer man.
And say "graham bread" to the baker
man.

MOTHER FIGHTS
TO FEED BABIES
Mrs. Fannie Eautb Tells Pitiful
Story in Judge Madden's
Court of Struggles,
SMALL WAGES IN LAUNDRY
SHIPS OF OUR NAVY The U. S. S. New Jersey, a second line battleship, carrying four 12
inch guns, eight 8-inch, twelve 6-inch, twelve 3-inch rapid firers, three 3-pounders and four
21 -inch torpedo tubes.
The story of a young mother's fight
to feed her two children on the mea
ger pittance she was able to earn in
a laundry, was told to Police Judge
Madden Saturday by Mrs. Fannie
Kauth, "24 years old, 404 North Twenty-fourth
street.
Mrs. Kauth was testifying against
her former husband, Conrad Kauth,
who is living with his mother at 2021
Bancroft street. He was arraigned
on the charge of failure to pay ali
mony.
Mr. and Mrs. KaiiUi were divorced
a year ago. 1 he court then, she said,
ordered him to pay $25 a month for
tne support ot the two children, (jer
trude, aged 7, and Alice, aged 5.
I was married eight vears ago.
Mrs. Kauth said, "when I was onlv 16
years old. When my two babies came
1 thought 1 was the happiest woman
in the world. I was too happy, I
guess, boon my troubles started. Mr.
Kauth left me and I got a divorce on
the grounds of desertion.
the real trouble came later. I

have slaved in a laundry to earn
money enovgh to feed my babies. He
did not pay his alimony regularly and
often my two little girls were hungry.
I could not make enough money to
feed and clothe them nc matter how
hard I worked. The wages of s wo
man are pit-fully smalt, barely enough
to keep body and soul together.
'.Recently I decided to learn hair
dressing. There was more money in
that work, my friends, told me. But
an apprentice in a hair-dressing par
lor gets no wages. I simply couldn't
live and see my two children in A ant.
All I ask is enough for the children. I
can support myself."
Mrs. Kauth struggled to keep back
the tears as she told her story.
Judge Madden continued the case
until Wednesday on recommendation
of Deputy County Attorney Ramsey.

CHINESE RUGS
Invites All Lovers of Fine and
Unusual Rugs
No one type of rug may be so
pleasing and generally, used as the
Chinese rug in its very broad decora

Its simplicity and charm of color,
combined with its simple and some
what abstract design, places it fore
most among rug types.
The quaint "carved" or raised ef
fects, the Oriental touch and the fine
quality yarns from which these rugs
are manufactured definitely decide
the superiority of the Chinese prod
ucts over many Oriental types.
From the smallest rug to the largest
room size, priced from $10 to $550.
