Wheatless bread recipe and sugar-saving tips
A home demonstration suggests adding a lightly beaten egg to the sponge of raised bread to make it lighter. A substitute-flour loaf needs more salt. A tested wheatless bread recipe uses milk, corn syrup, oats, rice, barley, yeast, and an egg, with steps from sponge to rise and bake. Also advises reducing sugar in meals and desserts, using corn syrup, fruit syrups, honey, and molasses. Separate note lists September draft calls: 62 Palo Alto men, 66 to Camp Dodge, 4 to Camp Riley, 2 to Camp Dodge for limited service.
