WHEAT WILL
| WINJHE WAR
Eat It, and You Kelp the Hun;
! Save it, and You Fight
For Freedom.
THE WORLD FACES A CRISIS
America's Problem is to Feed Her
Allies—Her Own Food Supply is
Already Safe.
"Not less important than the mili
tary crisis in Europe is the food sit
uation in the whole world and the
entire food problem centers around
the wheat supply. Wheat will win the
war—or lose it," is a terse and point
ed statement of Howard Heinz, U. S.
Food Administrator for Pennsylvania.
It has now become a race among
three factors, with the odds against
our side. These three factors are the
j approach of the next harvest, the
rapid diminution of wheat stocks
among the allied nations and the con
servation measures put into effect by
the patriotic people of the United j
I States in their efforts to piece out a
narrow surplus for an anxious world.
Among these factors the next har
vest cree : -v-rd all too' slowly ;
the snj n!y in the bins of the Allies
is slnl; ig rapidly. Ii" the situation
were 1 mi ted to these two —if it were
■ a competition ! . ween them alone —
j the race woui : .dy be lost. It is
only increased ( mi nation in Ameri
• ca that will keep starvation from be
' ing the victor.
The Allies must and will be fed.
America must and will save.
Our food supply already has been
protected. There is no danger here.
But the time has come to shovel the
wheat by carloads and shiploads into
the transportation channels that lead
to Europe. America can live on the
plentiful remainders, the cornme'al,
potatoes, meat, all of which by grace
of nature and careful conservation are -
abundant. ' ,
The Food Administrator for Penn- ,
sylvania has recently put forth some I,
stirring calls for wheat saving. Ainer- J
ica as a whole must cut her wheat f ,
consumption in two, and more than *
in two. From 42.000,000 bushels a; '
month she must cut consumption to | f
20,000,000 bushels. To accomplish
this, each American must cut his indi- j J
vidual consumption to six pounds per j ;
month. Out of the limited stocks in ;
the country we must save stocks for <
seed, some 50,000,000 bushels, we
must retain a safe carry-over, we j -
must feed our own citizens; and the
United States with Canada must send
to the Allies 40,000,000 bushels of
wheat a month.
The moral is plain. Large numbers
of our people must eat no wheat what
ever for three months or this great
task we have undertaken is doomed to
failure. Already the great hotels have
taken the pledge, men and women of
independent means have fallen into j
line.
Which would you prefer—to eat
bread lavishly and live in a world
tributary to Germany, or eat no wheat j
until the next harvest and be free?
POTATO FLOUR
COMING INTO USE
Even Cake That "Melts in the Mouth"
Can be Made by Using This
Product.
To most people Potato Flour is a
brand-new commodity, utterly un
known until the Wheat Substitute
Billing went into effect. Potato Flour j
has been known in Europe for years
previous to the war; quantities were
imported from Germany, and sold at
a fancy price for various baking pur
poses.
One woman, near Philadelphia, es
tablished a reputation for cake bak
ing by her use of potato Hour. For a j
long time she had to get all of her j
supply from Boston, but finally she
found it could be purchased in the |
leading retail stores in Philadelphia. '
She used potato Hour in a sponge
cake recipe aqd for eight years car- i
ried off every prize at the county fair. ;
This sponge cuke is of tlie most deli
cate texture, literally "melts in one's
mouth." Any one can make this cake
by using potato flour. This potato
flour can now be purchased in most
any grocery store and while it is not
a cheap article, it is sufficiently in
expensive to be worth while for cake
baking.
Some of our mothers tell how, dur
ing the Civil War, one of the weekly
duties of some households was to pre
pare potatoes so that starch could be
readily obtained. The potatoes were
washed and when thinly sliced in a
tub, covered with water and after
some hours of soaking Quantities of I
pure potato starch could be found at k
the bottom. However, because it is |
nearly pure starch, a little bit of !
potato flour goes a long ways. In i
cake and fancy pastry its use should |
be encouraged and increased by the j
careful housewife.
There are many substitutes for !
wheat flour, but no substitutes for |
peace.
