The answer is, “Give instantly the service needed” from now until the next harvest, that service is to share your wheat with your comrades %cross the sea, for you who can afford it to give your whole share to them. The Allied countries of Europe need wheat because bread has been one of the chief sources of nourish- ment. Bakeries cannot make raised breaq without wkeat flour. French Bores ia ‘particular depend, on bakeries, as furl and time are lack- ing for home baking and bakers' bread must have wheat in it to keep. One bakery can supply hundreds of families and so release hundreds-of pounds of coal and hundreds. of hours of time. If we insist upon eating wheat need- ed abroad, Liberty’s armies and Lib- erty’s civil ‘population willcollapse as Russia collapsed, because the food supplies of her armies and her elvil population failed. I Many housewives have learned how to use the coarser meals in con- stantly increasing - proportions with wheat flour in breads, pastries and puddings. Now the food administrat- ion asks vou to eliminate all wheat. Are you ready to do it? The United States Food Adminis- tration offers the following recipes from their experimental station:—— Baking Powder Loaf Bread.
