FEBRUARY 1, 1918 FACE the FACTS LET us face the facts. The war situation is critical. 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 in 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 ybu 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 about 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: HOT BREADS DESSERTS Boston brown bread. Corn-meal molasses cake. Hoecake. Apple corn bread. Muffins. * Dumplings. x Biscuits. < in ~erbread. Griddle cakes. Fruit gems. Waffles. HEARTY DISHES Corn-meal croquettes. Corn-meal fish balls. Meat and corn-meal dumplings. Italian polenta. Tamales. The recipes are in Farmers’ Bulletin 565, “Corn Meal as a Food and Ways of Using It,” tree from the Department of Agriculture. g rawing to Be Held Under Draft >n, Jan. 29—In the future f the draft law anew draw?
