They are placed in the blending-still, and moist heat is passed through the twelve tobaccos until all the different flavors are drawn into one, much as the full flavor of tea'i§ drawn out by steeping.

It follows that the enly thing to do to use it, By eornmeal, we do not mean corn fiour, but the yellow or white meals, If you have the idea that it should not be eaten in hot weather, disabuse your mind of it. If that were true, kew do yéu account for the fact that, in the south where it is warm all the year und, they use cornmeal daily? 1t is in every way as patriotic a privi- lege for every housewife to use corn- taeal daily for the next six weeks as it iy for her to knit, make sungical dress- ings, or buy thrift stamps, and your relpon-e“to h(éhistlppeal is expected to be equally hearty. Cornmeal is the best liked of ali the sybstitutes: it is a cheap food and it can be used in breads and pastries as well as a cereal, a vegetable, or a des- sert. Have you tried spoon bread?
