STATE CHEMISTS EXPERIMENT IN LIBERTY BREAD

Small Room in Capitol Basement Houses Important War Work.

On The Screen

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 2. Not all war activity Is confined to the training of soldiers, actual fighting, preparing bandages and hospital supplies or making munitions. Some Important work is being done in little suspected ways and places. In a basement room, on the west side of the west corridor of the State House, a room, filled with test tabes, retorts, chemicals and many things mysterious to the average citizen, an important work Is going on dally. The room has two unguarded entrances, one from a suite of rooms which the public may enter, and the other, barred with an Iron gate, direct from the basement -corridor. . The casual observer never would suspect that the few men moving ' about In the room are engaged in an imporant work. The room has been ! occupied by the same men and ' apparatus for years and from all outward appearance is little different than before the war. , 8tate Food Department The space Is part of that occupied by the state department of foods and drugs. In addition to the usual routine .work of the department, per- : formed In the laboratory the chemists are experimenting In "war" or "liberty", bread and cake baking. To one side of the room Is a small ; cabinet, old and far from imposing, much In appearance like the old fash- ' loned . cupboards In country homes. 1 When, the door Is opened there are to be seen Backs of flour, made of wheat, rice, corn, oats, peanuts, bananas, and many other Ingredients. There Is lard, along with many oils extracted , from vegetables. The- men who do -the experimenting . men are employed as the chemists and -they do the-cooking in the labora-

WASH1NGTON Bessie Barri scale Is seen in a fantasy-drama of the mountains In "Bawbs o' Blue Ridge," a new Triangle-Kay Bee play from the pen of Monte M. Katterjohn. This is the eubject that has been spoken of as a "second edition of Peggy, and in it Miss Barriscale is said to present a characterization quite as naive and charming as did Miss Burke in the former Trlangle-Ince success. At the Washington Thursday.

tory, the girls employed by the department being stenographers have a small gas oven in which they bake their mixtures. They are not afraid to taste their own baking, and sometimes may offer a taste to callers. Some recipes have been sent to them but most of such are not available for private use, as they are for batches of baked bread too large for anything but a hotel or large hording house. Gcods Look Good As yet. the chemists say, they have not worked out satisfactorily the things for which they are striving, although some good looking and appetizing baked goods have been turned out. A recent product was a small cake, in appearance like a breakfast muffin, but entirely wheatless. It contained corn flour, oat flour, and a little peanut flour. When baked it was a golden brown, with a good flavor, which it retained for several days. Raisins had been added to the dough just before baking. Not all of the experimenting is done at the State House. One of the men says he has been doing the baking at his home for some time. He asserts that as yet he can only give out to the public the information that almost any good standard bread recipe may be taken, but instead of all wheat flour, as much as 25 per cent of corn flower may be used without decreasing the food value. The first baking may not be as good as later trials will produce. t

Men Buy Magazines For Pretty Girls Pictures on Front

Hot weather don't make much-difference in the kind of magazines that people buy, but those with pretty girls on the front are very popular., says Miss Blanche Issen, who sells 'em in the Westcott. Women buy magazines for the reading matter and not for the cover, but those with the pretty pictures are bought by the men, says Miss Issen.

The modern housewife doesn't dread unexpected company any more no matter how pinched she may be for room. When it's time for the guest to retire for the night she simply says to Jennie, curled up on the "Kodav" in the living-room: "Go and get mother clean sheets and pillow cases, dear." Then she raises the back of the "Kodav and It unfolds into a full-size comfortable bed. The next morning she makes the bed, folds it quickly into place again, and Jennie hops on with her book. The "KODAV" is a beautiful, artistic divan, designed for the small house or apartment. May also be had in the large Davenport; comes in golden or fumed oak, priced during our August Clearance Sale
