j_ CORN TO THE RESCUE.
BY CYNTHIA GREY
| When you think In percen-
tsges you are likely to ‘sit up
and take notice," as the street
youngster would say.
I Lately the federal department
Of agriculture has been giving
out a lot of figures that must
be a bit disturbing to the house-
wife who habitually follows "the
easiest way” in her cookery. The
percentages with respect to corn
ought to set the patriotic house-
wife to thinking—and doing.
Corn Is the king of American
farm products ,so adopted to our
soil and climate that there is
almost no limit to the amount
that may be grown. Corn has
splendid food value and it may
be eaten In many conditions—
a versatile food it is, good as
a green vegetable; after manu-
facture nutritions as cereal,
syrup or meal.
Does America realize the im-
portance of corn as a food?
Well ,lt would hardly seem so,
for 85 per cent of the output is
fed as fodder to farm animals:
The remaining 15 per cent, less
1 per cent used in wh!°ky, is
nsed as human food.
spoon bread, which ought to
supply 75 per cent of the food
requirements of a meal, since
it contains elements that make
it an almost perfect food. Pro-
tein is supplied in the eggs; car-
bohydrates In the meal and milk
fats in the butter and the milk
as well.
Spoon bread Is served by the
spoonful and this recipe is suffi-
cient for ten persons for the
main meal of the day. The
Wasto Army woman will safe-
guard all leftovers—next morn-
ing she can make a delicious
breakfast dish from the spoon
bread sliced and fried and serv-
ed with corn syrup.
To 1 quart of boiling water
add 2 teaspoonfuls of salt and
then stir in 1-2 cup of breakfast
hominy. Cook 30 minutes and
then cool slightly. Stir in 2
tablespoons of lard and 2
tablespoonfuls of butter, 3 eggs
well beaten and mixed with a
cup of milk, and finally 1 pint
of corn meal sifted with 11-2

Two exercises Miss Roehm
recommends whereby s woman
may acquire a pretty week. At
the top Is the bridge exorcise;
below, the stretching exercise.
regularly and evenly. For re-
ducing to gain results, •Vork as
fast as possible, not stopping
during the entire routine. To
gain weight and develop graceful
and pretty lines, tense the body
while going thru the various
movements slowly and with ex-
uberance.

BY VERA ROEHM.
Only by exorcising can a wom-
an retain her figure.
The sensiblo woman combines
beauty exercises with training in
wrestling and self-defense.
A daily session with the box-
ing gloves will give you clear
skin, rosy cheeks, bright eyes.
Women often ask advice re-
garding the form. Some wish
*o reduce; others to gain. The
same exercises are suggested.
The same exercises, but not
taken in the same manner. For
instance, a person wishing to re-
duce when taking tho daily ex-
ercise must dress in heavy wool-
en apparel to cause free perspi-
ration, while on the other hand,
given wonderful results toward
gaining many a woman a pretty
neck are the stretching and
bridge exercises.
Stretch the neck forward,
touching the chest, then back.
From side to side in the same
manner. Next turn the head,
keeping the body still, from
shoulders down, is far to the
right as possible, trying to s.,’’
something over the right should-
er. Turn the head and do the
same over the left. This Is very
simple and even a child can be
taught to do this dally.
The bridge Is far more diffi-
cult, and requires practice, but
Is the more valuable. First po-
sition, He flat upon the floor;
second, draw the feet up under
the body, crossing the arms on
the chest at the same time; then
rear, head back raising the body
from the floor; leave only the
top of the head and soles of
the feet upon the floor. Sway
gently forward and backward,
letting only the shoulders touch,
for 10 counts.
The neck muscles will be very
sore fqr throe or four days, and
t.he harder the exercise Is tried
after the first day the sooner
will the soreness disappear. A
little alcohol rub will help.
