"Of what value is a thing the doesn't cot?" returned Noyes. "All the big things cost big. half the joy in them is pitting yourself against that and paying the price.

If we are patriotic, if we would win the war, if we want our boys to come back safe and sound—everyone of us must help ant on the food problem. It is an individual responsibility which tests on every man and woman cf this country. It is absolutely necessary that we eat leas of wheat, moat, fat and sugar. Janet now the wheat situation is es- pecially critical. We must reduce our consumption one-third. Use only lyre -thirds or one-half wheat in bread;, pie, muffins, cakes, and the like. Substitute in place of the wheat whatever yeu can get—pota- toc , barley, oatmeal, buckwheat, corn- meal, eta Use your own recipes changing them to suit present condi- tions. Use less sugar and less short- ening. Substitute one-half barley flour. Born flour or cornmeal, for one- half the wheat flour. here are some suggestive regi— e. Baking Powder Bt suits—Two cups barley flour, two tablespoons fat, half teaspoon of salt, four teaspoons of baking powder, two-thirds of a cup of milk.

With her cheeks burning and her liner dry, she tried to think just what to say, Above all things, she must not worry him: "It hes to do with yeti tutu myself and --Peter Noyes,". she answered.

Man's fleet need is food and the world to -day is very shout. Europe's first treed is bread and on Canada rests the responsibility for supplying much of that bread. Canada has an abundance of potatoes. I';vet'y potato eaten moans a piece of bread saved. Let Canadians eat the potatoes and send the wheat overseas! Our:. Attlee are using their supplies of potatoes freely, but they must have wheat t•O hind their bread, Time was when the food supply waa one of the accepted ;acts of our daily existence. There vas always an abundance and we satisfied otirselves wlthoet compunction for there was no questioning our right to eat what we felt we could afford. But there are now a hundred reasono why we should pause and consider as a meal is being prepared, or as we sit down to eat, Aa Sir George Foster recently said in the course of a public address: "As you sit down to to metal can't you see, as by flashlight, hungry women and children .clamoring for food? Can't you visualise your son in the trenches,. hungry, cold and wet, and his satisfaction when ureal time comes around?" There are thousands 1.n Europe to- day who would give anything for tine left -overs from our tables. Left- overs! When their sacrifice is infin- itely greater than ours; their treed ten times more pressing! It would seem as if they should get first con- sideration and we the left -overs. Which brings us !tack to the value -of the potato in the diet and the part it might be made to play, in saving the food stuff's that they need, for the suffering people of Europe, The :olid part of the potato i•; made up chiefly of starch, with about per cent, of piotu'i:t and ccrtaia "snits" whirls are'valvaide and health- gi int*. 7.hn highest ratue ie derived from the potato when it Is eaten as an adjunct to something else.

Our Allies look to us for wheat and we' have not been giving them ties quantities they need. The British Ministry of rood Inas just cabled tide message: "Wheat imports are not ar- riving in quantities sufficient to mcr't our weekly requirements. Every ef- fort that can bo exerted in Canada to increase shipments of wheat and meat will be invaluable," With nearly four months until the 1018 wheat crap wvill be available for consumption, this continent manor spare more than 31,0.00,000 bushels of wheat for shipment overseas, unleee consumption in Canada and the United States be sharply and substantially re- duced, That amount falls far chert of tho Allies' minimum requirements It must be increased and the only pos- sible way in which we can do so is to oat loss bread and us less wheat flour, Egg "Candling" Obsolete.
