came to the Navy department in a
cablegram from Rear Admiral Sims

most vital to both sides. American
soldiers of our regular army, who have
had no experience in trench warfare,
would not be a match at the outset for
German veterans. They, too, must
learn the game. The Germans, like
the French and the British,' now know
the game from the bottom of the
trenches up.
"France and Great Britain want an
American army sent to Europe, but
they want a trained army and would
hare no use for any other kind. If not

USE MORE CORN AND LESS
WHEAT AND SAVE MONEY
"Begin today to eat more cornmea!
and hominy grits in place of wluvit
flour and wheat breakfast foods."
the messnge the United States depart
ment of agriculture is sending out
broadcast to housewives. "Try a
wheatJess breakfast tomorrow -J't1 '
then extend the wueatless idea to uU
er days or meals," the dietary spe
cialists suggest.
Corn, a great natural breadstuff of
this country, the department's special
ists point out, has not been used for
human food nearly as much as Us
valuable nutritive qualities warrant.
This is due largely to the fact that
many persons with a wheat using
habit never have taken the pains to
learn to use com. There is no im
portant dietetic difference between
corn and wheat as sources of body
fuel."
To those who wish to try wbeatless
meals the department suggests the fol
lowing for a wbeatless breakfast or
dinner:
As a substitute for wheat breakfast
foods try white or yellow cornmcal or
hominy grits, served with cream and
sugar, butter, sirup or fresh or dried
fruit.
As a substitute for wheat biscuits,
rolls or toast the housewife, can em
ploy a dozen 'dlfferenC tflrtnS of corn
bread, such as hoe cake, dodgers, soft
or spoon corn bread, hominy bread,
com meal and rye Boston brown bread,
Zuul Indian bread, etc.
Fried cornmeal mush, fried hominy
or cornmeal pancakes made with very
little wheat flour will be found a pleas
ing variation from wheat cakes.
Cornmeal codfish cakes, cornmea)
scrapple, cornmeal croquettes, corn
meal or hominy cooked with meat,
figs, cheese, eggs or milk, will sup
ply nourishing dishes for the hearty
courses.
Hominy grits and coarse hominy
(Homt-t lines called samp) may be boiled
and used like macaroni or other wheat
pastes to serve as side dishes with
meat
For dessert Indian pudding, corn
meal aiui fig or apple pudding, apple
dumplings, cornmeal doughnuts, gin
gerbrecd, cake, fruit gems, etc., will
contribute variety as well as nourish
ment to the bill of fare.
The housewife who wishes to sub
stltute corn for some but not all of
the wheat flour can make excellent
raised or light bread, pnncakes, waf
fles, muffins, roils, graham flour, Indian
bread, etc.
Wheat, rice, rye. bailey, oats, corn
and potatoes are largely Interchange
able as sources of starch In the diet.
