I MCI the FACTS
IET us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
1 Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat' threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat' Savings They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little
less than a quarter of what we ate last year we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous m the
hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
America's Own Food Corn! It is the true American
food. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section, of our country it
has blong een the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn Something Corn! It isn't one food. It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.
It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more atout it? Here are a few
of its uses :
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or break
fast. Here are some suggestions:
H.OT BREADS
Boston brown bread.
Hoecake.
Muffins.
Biscuits.
Griddle cakes.
Waffles.
HEARTY
DESSERTS
Corn-meal molasses cake.
Apple corn bread.
Dumplings.
Gingerbread.
Fruit gems.
DISHES
Corn-meal fish balls.
Corn-meal croquettes.

The recipes are in Farmers' Bulletin 565, "Corn
Meal as a Food and Ways of Using It," free from the
Department of Agriculture.
Personal Habits and Sanitation
j Even the bubbling drinking fountain
has been suspected, and alas, microbes
(are found in the water by recent bac
teriological studies. Yet many of us
J who might hesitate about drinking
from the tin cup that hangs beside the
old spring in the country or utterly
- refuse to wipe on the roller towel that
still prevails in some unprogressive
communities, would scarcely hesitate
to "kiss the bubble" and quench the
thirst from a drinking fountain.
There are various little personal
habits which are more or less uncon
scious when once formed, yet exceed
ingly important factors of illness or of
health. Let us mention a few of them:
When you attend a performance in
a theater your hands naturally come
in contact with the seat arms. So
have many other hands before, yours.
THE MISUSE OF SALIVA.
Don't Buy Food Where the Other Fel
low Insists on Mixing His Saliva
With Your Food.
The theatre generally has little or no
sunlight, which ie the natural disin
fectant. There is no telling what bac
teria may be on those seat arms'.
Therefore' your first duty upon arriv
ing home is to wash your hands be
fore you forget and absently put a
finger to your mouth.
In many stores you will buy from
time to time foods which are ready to
eat, such as sausage, boiled meat,
cookies, bread, candy. This food is
wrapped up for you in paper while
you wait. Watch the clerk who wraps
it. Watch him give hiB fingers a bath
in saliva in order to get a better grasp
on the roll of paper. Then imagine
oh, nothing in particular just imag
ine! That store is merely twenty
years behind the times. The propri
etor is ignorant or perhaps one of
those "public-be-damned" merchants.
There isn't enough competition to
make him care. It may be quite nec
essary for the clerk' to moisten a fin
ger to separate layers-of paper, it is
necessary for the bank clerk to
moisten ft finger when counting
money, but not with saliva. No, there
are plenty of convenient,, sanitary lit
tle devices for moistening the finger.
Let the store install them or lose
your good trade.' That's the way to
practice . sanitation! Heaven only
knows what disease may be conveyed
in saliva-contaminated foods bought
ready-to-eat from stores of the kind
mentioned. Diphtheria, tuberculosis
pneumonia, various sore throats,
these are the likely ones.
It matters not whether it be a labo
ratory, a hospital, a physician's of
fice, a meat market or a private resi
dence, you may estimate its sanitary
worth by the facilities for washing th
hands.
We do not refer to visible dirt, to
the soiling of children's hands and
clothing by dirt, in their play, for in
stance. That sort of dirt is just as
wholesome as it ever was. We refer
to invisible dirt, the sort which nay
get into your meat from the mouth of
the clerk, or into your mouth from
your contaminated, though clean
looking fingers. The best antidote for
this sort of dirt is soap and water
The best preventive is absolute per
sonal cleanliness, cleanliness 'with a
conscience, not just visible cleanli
ness. A person apparently freshly
bathed and dressed is just a's likely
tobe careless about the promiscuous
spreading of his saliva as one who
looks untidy. Indeed, we notice clean
looking people spitting Indiscriminate
ly on the street .everywhere.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Half Cured Malaria.
Inquirer. Last fall I had 'chills and
fever. I took some quinine for it but
have never felt very well since. What
can I do about it?
Answer: Have several microscopical
tests of your blood made in order to
ascertain whether or not you are harbor
ing active malaria organisms. If you are,
put yourself under the care of a good
physician until you take treatment ir
sufficient quanities, scientifically admini
stered, to effect a permanent cure
Quinine i, of course, the remedy; but tht
method and time of administration have
a great deal to do with how soon you
will get well.
Not Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. D. M. In the mornings when
I wake up I do not feel refreshed. 1
feel even worse than when I went to
bed. It frequently takes an hour or
more before I can really get warmed
up and started on the day's work. My
back hurts and I frequently feel very
dizy: Do you think this is some kind
of kidney trouble? If so, what shall
I do for It?
Answer: Your kidneys are probably
all right. "Kiclney trouble" may cause
a pain in the back; but for every farm
of kidney disease that causes a pain in
the back, there are a dozen other condi
tions which cause pain In the back. Your
occupation may be the cause of pain in
muscles of back. It may be caused by Ji
form of rheumatism called lumbago, In
the muscles. But very probably in youf
case the trouble is in errors of diet, too
much meats or sweets, or other fceavjf
foods. You probably suffer from consti
pation due to a diet as above stated, or
your habits are irregular.
The best thing for you to do is to obi
serve meatless days every day for
a while, throw away the fryingpan and
use the double boiler, broiler, etc., fo
awhile. Let the Allies have moBt of the
nice white flour, and "you get some of
Major Graham's fine whole wheat, take it
to your miller and get-him to make yoti
some sure enough Graham bread, drink
plenty of water, stay home with you
folks instead of going to Lodge meetinfe
or the club or a banquet every night, and
watch your "kidney pain" faie away.
