The startling mrormation, realizing that German spies not only fctill are at their work in this coun try, but that they have a swift and ure means of communicating Ameri ca's war secrets to the fatherland, came to the Navy department in a cablegram from Rear Admiral Sims at London.

Every man ought to have at least one year's training and should have more. -"It must be remembered that the German army is composed of veterans and that the k.niser's best troops thick ly line .De' western front, which is the 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 fully trained here before being sent acrosd such an army would be detained far behind the trenches until the Brit- lsh or French authorities deemed It fit for trench work." - 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.
