Must Eliminate Cake And Pastry to Save Wheat for Our Allies
Says
Yeast Bread Also Should Be Used Sparingly, Mrs. Teetor Says
Rye No Longer Substitute
Flour
Hot Breads May Be Made With Only 25 Per Cent Wheat
The necessity of saving wheat and the methods by which this can be accomplished were discussed this morning by Mrs. E. D. Teetor, acting head of the department of home economics. This problem is one of the greatest that the government has to face as both our own food supply and that of our allies will be endangered unless more wheat is saved in the next six months than has been in the last six months.
The method of saving now is the "fifty- fifty" plan. By use of this plan an equal amount of wheat substitutes must be bought with all wheat purchased. This plan would cause a great savings if everyone would follow many either feed the substituents to the chickens of waste them entirely.
USE 25 PER CENT SUBSTITUTE
Many substitutes have been made and have proved successful, but not more than 25 per cent of substitutes can be used successfully in making yeast bread. Therefore we must use less yeast bread, Mrs. Teetor said. Many hot breads can be made with 75 per cent or more corn or other substitute flour.
SHOULD USE NO CAKES
In the experiments of the department of home economics some ginger bread has been made using 75 per cent wheat substitutes and syrups almost entirely instead of sugar. For the present the use of cakes and pastry should be greatly cut down or entirely done away with to conserve the supply. The proportions for cakes have not been completely worked out.
Rye can no longer be sold as a wheat substitute as nearly the entire supply is consumed by the foreigners in the United States. Corn meal is one of the most widely used substitutes, but it will not be shipped after April 1st as it would germinate during transportation.
HOT BREADS ARE VALUABLE
Many experiments are being made by the department of home economics and many war-time recipes are being prepared. These will be given to any one desiring them.
The proportion of substitutes that can be used in hot bread is 75 per cent by weight. The average proportion by measure is two-thirds substitute to one-third wheat. A more accurate schedule has been made by the department of home economics.

Appelboom Describes
German Raid on Paris
Air Bomb Demolishes One or Two Stories of House It Strikes
Strikes
A letter to Dean Olin Tempin has been received at the University from P. A. F. Appelboom, former instructor in Romance Languages at K. U., who is now purchasing agent of the Y. M. C. A. in Paris. The letter was written shortly after the first German air raid on Paris that Mr. Appelboom witnessed.
The raid began at 11 o'clock, he writes, and the boarders at the house in which he lives were aroused by the wall of the sirens, the signal that is given during a Boche raid. After a hurried scuffle, the persons in the house all went down to the lower floor where the bright lights of the enemy planes could easily be seen against one in which Mr. Appelbloom lives one in which Mr. Appelbloom lives was bombed, and according to the letter a German air bomb when it strikes demolises one or two stories. The hole an air bomb makes in the street pavement is about one and three-fourths yards deep and two yards wide.
"Although we went into the street this time," continues the letter, "we would not do so again for this curiosity is the cause of most fatalities." The raid was over by one o'clock after he had engaged the enemy planes.
Mr. Appelbom writes that all France is proud of the United States and that it puts much faith in what this nation will do.

Funny, Isn't It?
That spring weather has such an influence over everyone. They want a change and a change in food more than any thing else. There is a big difference in sitting down to the table and eating just whatever you have given you, and to order just what you want. Fresh vegetables, cool, refreshing drinks and a menu of wide variety—three of our specialties. After all, it is cheaper to eat what you want and when you want it.
