MiMi THE LAFB SHORE HEWS. FRIDAY. APRIL 8, 1918. American Housewives Capable of Mixing Their Own Flour u housewife ia her- of doing all the floor mixta* desirable, is too commen- tary «' Assistant Secretary of Agrl- ooltare Vroomau on the mooted mixed flour quooUon. He says further that the American housewife could mate- rially reduce the coat of living IT ah* war* to get the flour mixing habit. : â- â€¢Mgwi •*• noma thirty .substitutes that can b© mixed with wheat flour to making bread." he said In a state- ment Issued here today. "Many or these are more nutritious than wheat flour; some of them are cheaper than wheat flour, and of these, two or three, at least, sre commercially obtainable almost anywhere. "Potatoes, corn flour, and rice (in certain sections) can be used with profit in mixture with wheat floor in making yeast bread. With wheat lour as dear as It Is now the careful ousewife stands to effect quite a sav- by using one of these products to ;e out ber wheat flour. Experiments ^fljg*^|$fra can be illy in the proportion of joe part to three parts of wheat flour. At least three-fourths of the mixture must bo good wheat flour. "Potatoes have a certain advantage in this regard, since potato bread eaa be made without going to the trouble to get the commercial potato meal. Plain mashed potatoes, four parts or mashed potatoes to tares parts of wheat door, will serve the purpose quite well. If the dry potato meal or flake to used, the ratio should be one part of potato Boiled rice eaa be used in much the same way as mashed potatoes, care being taken to allow for the water in t ho rice and ,to use about three times as much In bulk as would be used of tbe rice floor. "In making potato bread the sponge should be used, and just enough water to serve to mix the yeast with the po- tato, since tho sponge becomes very sdft after partial fermentation. The remainder of the flour is worked in aft- erwards, care being taken to make an extra stiff dough, which should be raised till quite light. This bread Is moister than bread made of wheat flour. flour, which should cost about two-thirds the price of wheat floor. may be mixed-With wheat flour direct, one part of corn flour to three parts of wheat flour. Dae the mixture just as though it were wheat door and mix it yourself. "It should be remembered that the addition of starchy materials, such as potatoes, rice or corn starch (which la sometimes used to adulterate wheat flour in liking) tends to make a loaf less rick in protein and hence less nu- tritious than the straight wheat floor of corn flour makes little. if any, change in the nutritive value of the bread, but makes it cheaper. "There are other flour substitutes, •nek aa soybean meal and pea floor, which serve to add greatly to the nutri- tive value of the loaf when mixed with wheat flour. These products, un- fortunately, cannot be recommended in the present emergency, since they are not as yet common articles of com- merce in this country. ',. "In this connection It should bo said that a great saving could be effected if tho housewife would emulate the pro- fessional baiter and buy low grade wheat floors; There are flours on the market quitt ssgood for home baking as tbe faaer patent flours, which cost In balk from IB to 40 per cent less than the fancy grades. Suck are the so-called 'second clear* and low grade' flours, which are graded lower than patents merely because they are darker, not because they are any less nutritious or less* palatable. In fact the darker color may be evidence that floor la more nutritious than white if. i. iL_t _ I- brown bread may be men- tioned as « good and very tmnni»r medium for the profitable use of flour substitutes. It is made of equal parts of corn meal, rye meal and graham flour and is a very nutritious bread. "There are various ways of making over bread itself so ss to effect a con- siderable saving. Thus stole bread, crosts, crumbs, etc., can be worked in- to palatable products such as bread pancakes, bread crumb biscuit and bread crumb cookies. "The nub of the mixed flour ques- tion hangs on who does the mixing. It th> housewife does the mixing she gets tke saving entailed; if the baker or the wholesaler does it, he is very apt to get the saving as additional profit" New Trier Jottings : For over a year plans have been considered for starting some sort of bociety, whose basis of membership &' snail be^schofarehTp only. Tit a spe rial meeting of the student body Wednesday, March 25, this society, to be called the New Trier Honor so- ciety, was inaugurated. Its first mem- bers are twenty seniors, those who ranked highest in the three and a half years of their high school course, ten of them boys, and ten girls. It is tuther significant to note that the list includes students who have excelled in other lines of school' activity as well as scholarship. Several, such as Malcolm Nelville, Mary Quayle, Mar- celle Laval and Ruth Lieber, are known for their success in competi- tion with other schools and at New /Trier in literary lines; others, such as i Theodore Cox, for .ability in dramatics; still others for special achievements In athletics. Such ere Francis. Allen, Ogden Cook. Andrew Dlgre and Sidney Huegenon of the boys, and Elizabeth Shipman and Violet Talbot among the girls. Three of the girls won theJbpnor in spite of their being senrceljOver IS. All of the students, in fact, are known as versatile, all-round young, people, and it is a pleasure to know that some public honor has been given to them for what was 'probably the root of their success in other lines, namely, their habits of conscientious attention to the duties and" privileges of their school life.

A great number of students are writing essays, dramas, stories end poems for the Williams prise contest, which closes April 6. and the freshmen are very busy' getting out their issue oi the New Trier Echoes, which was con- sidered such an interesting number hut year.
