Success With tiuhs itute Flours. ,
Almost every Red Cross 'meeting I
resolves itself sooner oz latex into al
cooking exchange, for naturallyi
housewives of the present time arel
concerned to use the supplies assail
-1
as successfully' as possible. We.{
often hear complaints about the;
substitute flours making the food;
" hard, dr tough, or coarse grained or'
eakes,-.fa11. There is a reason for!
all this, and if we consider the matter
a few minutes we will surely see why.,
Most' of our old tried and Crilel
recipes call for wheat flour. Nowa-
days we have to substitute other 1
flours, and it takes experience or ex -1
act standards of measurements • to
know how much substitute to put in:
for a cupful of wheat.
Experimentsprove that substitute
cereal flours (not potato flour) and
brans absorb -the same amount of
moisture as wheat end. require the
same amount of yeast or baking pow-
der to leaven them. By amount I
mean "weight" not "measure," That
is where so manypeople are deceived
and wonder wiry their results axe not
good; so remember if you want to l
use substitute flours you can do so
with success, if you use an equal;
weight of corn flour, cornmeal, buck-
wheat, rice, or rye flour as the recipe -
called for in wheat flour.
A cup of wheat flour which has been
sifted and measured in ' a half pint
cup, being piled in lightly until the
cup is even full, weighs four ounces;'
Let u ke'thia as our standardmes-
e sits
5urentent. Two-thirds of a cup of
rolled oats ground through a food
chopper, four-fifths of a cup of
rice flour, four-fifths of a cup of
buckwheat, four-fifths of a cup of
coarse cornmeal, one Cup of fine corn-'
meal, one and one-third cups of bar-
ley flour, one level cup of corn flour,
er.ch weighs four ounces. So 11 your
x ripe calls for half a cup of wheat
flour, you can use corn flour in its
place, or only two-fifths of a cup of
r`.ace flour, or one-third of a cup of.
ground roiled oats. Measure for
measure the substitutes do not pro-
duce the same results, but weight
they may be interchanged, not with
the same results as to appearance and
taste, but as to success in lightneea
and moisture.
As we are likely to have to use
substitutes for a long time, these are
very important points to remember,
Some Practical Suggestions,
When you have a stain which you
think is tea, fruit, or of unknown
origin and it has been boiled in- and
"set" try removing it with javelle
tester. You can get javello water at
the drug store. Put one tablespoon-
ful into 'hall a cupful of water. Im-
merse the stain in this and leave for
twenty- minutes or half an hour. Ifs
it has disappeared altogether, wash
the javel'le water out of the cloth
with clear water, as to leave it in will
weaken the fabric. If the stale bete
only partly disappeared put it in a
while longer.
If yroer gasoline or eoaI oil stove'
shows signs of rusting anti begins to
look shabby, although it is still quite
flew, go to the stove company and get
a bottle of thekind of oil especially`
prepared for the care of such appar-
atus, Follow directions and you will
keep your stove looking like. new. .
Wheal preparing french -fried pota-
toes cut them in even sections, pre-
ferably eighths. Soak them .half an
hour in cold water. Drain, turnboil-
ing water, over them and lot stand two
minutes. ' Drain again, dry with a
cheesecloth. Ilave the fat just hot
enough that it gives off a thin blue
haze, Drop the dry potatoes in and.
they will •rook quickly, be Crisp on
the outside, tender and delicious.
As fat is expensive now, it is well
to remember that a ,small, deep cotf-
tainer will take less material and an-
swer quite es well fpr the average
family' as a broad vessel which re-
quires more fat to give the necessary
depth. French -fry potatoes occa-
sionally in the -kettle kept for deep
frying. This will clarify it ancl, with
the addition of a very little drippings,
will give enough clear, pure material
for family frying.
When canning Vegetables this sum-
mer, such as asparagus, beans and
peas, the three -period method may be
shortened to a single period of one
and one-half hours if the vegetables
are blanched by dipping in boiling
water three minutes, then chilled in
cold water, packed into clean sterile
cans and covered with boiling water
to which a teaspoonful of salt and a
tablespoonful of vinegar have been
added. Partly clamp down the top.
Cools one and one-half hours in a
water bath which comes within an
inch of the top of the cans. Cover so
that the Item will steeilize the tops.
Remove from the water bath at once
when the period is up. Open the cats,
fill any space left by shrinkage, put
on the covers at once, clamp tightly,
set in a cool room. Do not let eoolein
a hot kitchen. In the winter if you
desire to cook these vegetables with
milk, either turn off the liquid con-
taining the trace of vinegar or add a
pinch of soda. This prevents the
flat taste so maty vegetables have
and aids the keeping qualities.
Use Wheat Substitute.
Are you insisting on getting wheat
substitutes from your, grocer and are
you, as a housekeeper, trying them
out in your kitchen? There is no
use saying they are not available be-
cause with possible •exceptions in
eome districts, they are, and if your
dealer does not carry them then that
is bisfault and yours. The largest
substitute milling concern in Canada
hos just been opened at Peterboro by
the Quaker Oats Company. Corn-
meal, eat flour, oatmeal 'and corn-
flour will be turned out at the rate
of 7,000 barrels' a day,
' The .darker the bread you have
these days the more patriotic you are,
so don't insist on getting light bread
from your baker, On the contrary en-
courage him to go even further than
the regulations specify in the use of
substi Lutes.

How Ireland is Supplying a Coal
Substitute.
The diversion -of ordinary shipping
between the ports of the great coal-
fields of England and the Irish ports
to the needs .of the war has brought
about a great scarcity in Ireland of
many necessary articles, and most
particularly of coal. Ireland is sup-
posed to lemmas vest supplies of na-
tive coal, but only in it few eases eve
attempts being made to work it, and
tren only in a small way. The rail-
way to the Wolfhill Mine which is
being constructed by the Government
may not be completed for months, and
this is the most extensively worked
colliery in Ireland, Its normal out-
put of coal is only about a thousand
tons per week.
- Formerly the dist areas of bog -
land provided thousands of the peo-
ple in rural districts with fuel, and
quantities of it have been used in the
towns; but effort s are now 1 '
