FOOD SAVING
PROGRAM ISSUED
Frequent Changes Made Nec
essary By Needs of Allies
and Our Own People.
To clear up any confusion that may
exist in the minds of housewives con
cerning food conservation, the follow
ing definite program of food saving is
issued by the Food Administration
with the explanation that frequent
changes are made necessary according
to the needs of the Allies and our own
people:
All kinds of staple foods, especially
wheat, meats, fats and sugar should
be most economically used. Use sub
stitutes for these four commodities.
No food should be boarded. Hoard
ing ls the holding, contracting or ar
ranging for food by any person in ex
cess of his reasonable requirements
for use or consumption by himself and
dependents for a reasonable time.
This does not refer to stocks of home
grown vegetables and home-canned or
preserved fruits.
All householders who can entirely
eliminate the use of wheat until the*
next harvest, about September Ist,
should do so.
Householders who are obliged to
use wheat should not use more than
a total of 1_ pounds of wheat flour
or prepared wheat, In any form, per
person per week, including the wheat
flour in Victory Bread, and Including
the wheat flour or prepared wheat ln
crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast
and other foods.
Victory Bread is bread manufac
tured by bakers under the rules of
the United States Food Administra
tion. In estimating flour consumption,
1% pounds of Victory Bread may be
considered equal to 1 pound of wheat
flour.
In buying wheat flour an equal
weight of other cereals as substitutes
for wheat flour must be bought pound
for pound. This is the GO-GO Rule. In
buying mixed flours, the substitutes
in them may be counted so that a
smaller proportion of substitutes may
be bought with these flours than with
white flour. In buying graham and
whole wheat flours (containing not
less than 95% of the entire wheat)
6/10 pounds of Substitutes shall be
purchased with every pound of such
flours.
Wheat flour substitutes are hominy,
corn, grits, cornmeal, corn flour, edible
cornstarch, barley flour, rolled oats,
oatmeal, rice, rice flour, buckwheat
flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour,
soya bean flour and feterita flour and
meals and mllo maize flour and meal.
Householders in towns and cfties
may not buy more than hi of a barrel
of flour or 2 pounds of sugar at any
one time. Householders in rural dis
tricts may not buy more than _ of a
barrel of flour or 5 pounds of sugar
at any one time. In no event shall
any purchaser have more than 30 days'
supply of flour on hand.
Householders should not use more
than 3 pounds of sugar per person per
month.
In addition to the above, however,
26 pounds of sugar may be used for
home canning, and win be available
to the householder "for that purpose
upon signing a certificate that such
sugar is desired and will be used for
that purpose only. Additional amounts
for canning and preserving may be
purchased only by special permission
of county food administrator.
No wheat flour, or prepared wheat
in any form should be used for any
purpose other than human consump
tion.
Meats of all kinds should be most
economically used, eliminating alt
waste.
Fresh milk and milk in evaporated
and condensed form and cheese may
be liberally used.
Butter may bo used for normal con
sumption.
To save transportation local sup
plies should be grown and used.
ROOF PAINT toil TREK WOUNDS
Many orchardists and tree surgeons
have found that the best and most
economical way of treating tree
wounds of all kinds is to cover them
with roof paint. It is easy to apply
and farmers throughout the country
have used it with benefit in the treat
ment of abrasions, cuts and grafting.
It is heavy enough In body to form a
thick coating over the wound, thus
preventing Insects and th" elements
from harming the tree. It is ] so
very easy to apply.
A professional tree surgeon and
pruner who is taking care of some
20,000 trees, writes enthusiastically
about it for use on citrus trees. "It
is," he says, "the best thing I have
ever used or heard of, and being so
well satisfied I heartily recommend
Oronite roof paint to any and all or
chardists who may be interested in
such a paint."
The use of this petal is undoubt
edly the best, most convenient and
economical way of healing abrasions
of trees, and it greatly prolongs their
life and productiveness.

continue the ear permit system, in
order to return the trade to the wid

possible. Nevertheless we intend to
keep in close touch with all shippers
and assist them as much as possible
in securing cars for the movement
of wheat.
PROBABLE DISPOSITION OP
MEN TRAINING HERE
-May Be Assigned to Infantry or
ArtU'ery
"Where do we go' from here."
probably the most talked of and im
portant matter considered by men
of tho detachment, is explained in a
measure by a letter just received
from the* Committee on Education
and Special Training at Washington,
D. C, by the commanding officer.
From tho communication it may be
construed that r any of the men will
be assigned to Infa try units, especi
ally trains ami machine gun units
and to Hu* field artillery.
Following is an extract from the
letter:
"It has come to the attention of
the Committee that in some cases
misapprehension exists as to the as
signment of men on completion of
courses. This invoice's tho funda
mental purpose and Intention of the
National Army Training Detach
ments. This purpose is in part to
train men vocationally for a few
particular duties in the Army requir
ing specialized technical skill; for ex
ample, telegraph operators, locomo
tive engineers, etc., and a special ef
fort is made thai such men are as
signed strictly in accordance with
their training. The further purpose,
however, is to develop generally the
en's resourcefulness and initiative,
it must be understood that the Army
Is not a collectioj of men in trade
occupations, but it is an organization
in which men are. first and last, sol
d.ers. li must also be understood
that certain Kinds of technical skill
constitute an ass.' in all branches of
the service and are valuable in com
batant units as well as in specialised
staff organizations. A large propor
tion of Hit* men from the National
Army Training Detachments will be
assigned to infantry units, especially
trains and machine gun units, and
to the field artillery. In these or
ganizations their vocational training
v. ill not bo wasted, but on the con-
Mars will be pet to the best possible
use."
—"Hot Dog."
Standard safety razors are now be-
Ing issued to men in the expedition
ary forces. In addition, each man is
issued a toothbrush, comb, hairbrush,
• soap, and towels.
More than 700.000 tons of cereal
food stuffs were shipped to the allies
from North America during May, ac
cording to the Food Administration.
April shipments were more than 100 -
000 tons.

' CARPENTRY
The carpentry division is repre
sented by 60 men and that branch of
work has probably made the best
showing of any of the departments,
inasmuch as the "students of the
hammer and saw" buvo already com
pleted several large structures and
many useful articles about the bar
racks aro their handiwork.
Tin' men are divided Into four
crews and each of the group is prac
ticing on many kinds of work under
the able supervision of their respect
ive instructors. Considerable time
has been devoted to daily lectures
and demonstrations concerning the
methods of using the steel square, by
which much figuring is eliminated in
construction work. The use and care
of all kinds of tools is taught and
practiced in the most efficient man
ner.
The most noticeable construction
completed is a frame warehouse 30
feet in width and 7.". feet in length
erected at the western end of the col
lego grounds and near the railroad
tracks. At this work much of the
class oral instruction was applied.
Here the technical students also
gained experience in mixing concrete.
Another largo building, on which
work has been started, is a workshop,
to be located adjoining the shop now
in use. Tho new structure will be
12 feet wide and 80 feet long. A
bridge 59 feet long and 14 feet high
to the second floor of the building
will be used by the auto mechanics.
Il was erected for driving autos to
the upper room, as the ground floor
is not large enough to accommodate
the automobiles being overhauled and
repaired. A similar trestle is being
erected to the second story in the
rear of Science Hall. Much of the
interior woodwork in the barracks
has also been done by the carpenters.
—"Hot. Dog."
SEND MONEY
The original order that the ap
proval of a regimental or higher com
mander was necessary before pack
ages might be sent to members of the
expeditionary forces has been modi
fied so officers with the rank of ma
jor and higher may approve ship
ments. The approval of a company
commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment of
parcels to France first came to the at
tention of the War Department when
the commanding general of the ex
peditionary forces cabled that con
gestion of such articles had reached
such a point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. A
board appointed by the Secretary of
War and the Postmaster General ex
amined 5000 sacks of parcel post
mail, and found that the articles be
ing sent were not only, in the main,
absolutely unnecessary, but undesir
able. The investigation showed that
the amount of such mail had reached
a total of 600,000 pounds a week, and
was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according to
a recent statement by the War De
partment, will find they often can do
a greater service to soldiers by send
ing them money for the purchase of
articles in France than by forward
ing the articles. Tobacco is now be
ing supplied as part of the army ra
tions, and merchandise of nearly all
kinds may now be purchased in
France through the huge general
store established by the quarter
master corps at lower prices than
charged by retailers here.

I give my neighbor a shake or two,

I give my face a wipe or two,
I hit my teeth a swipe or two,

I'll take no more or else rob you,
I rush to barracks, there's lots to do,
I clean a cuspidor, sometimes two,
I get a whiff and lose my stew.
1 wonder what I am going to do.
I hate the job, my pals do too.
I want to know, I beg of you.

terned in the United States.
THK SOLDIER'S CHANCES
•
Great as the danger and largo as
the losses In the aggregate, tho indi
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out of the war unscathed?
or at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, a soldier's chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from dis
ease in the army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to 15 men
died from diseano to one from bul
lets; in this war one man dies from
disease to every in from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scatheless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supremo sacrifice for
their country.
