DR. SOULE CONSTRUES
THE FIFTY-FIFTY ORDER
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 7.—To clear the
doubt between wholesalers and jobbers
in handling orders with retailers in
the matter of the “victory plan” of
50-50 quantity sales of flour, Dr. An
drew M. Soule, federal food adminis
trator for Georgia, has construed the
effect of that order as follows:
“Where wholesalers are in doubt on
flour orders placed by retail merchants
who have in stock an ample amount of
the substitute cereals designated by the
I’nited States food administration, and
do not desire in making their purchase
an equal weight of substitutes, or off
sets, the wholesaler or jobber will be
authorized to accept and fill the order
solely for flour when the retailer ac
companies that order with a statement
or certificate that he has in stock and
is oflering for sale at the time, a quan
tity of the off set cereals designated to
equal the amount of flour specified in
his order and n hand at his place of
business, if a.® at the time the order
is made.
“The however, will be ex
pected to see to it thatt he flow of
flour and substitute cereals through;
his place of*business to the consumer |
is kept on the even 50-50 basis requir-l
ed by the food administration, during
the current period of his order, and
that the off-set cereals in stock at the
time of such an order are not calcu
lated in making any subsequent order
for flour and other cereals.
“Whole corn, taken in trade by the
retail merchant, is not a substitute ce
real while in that state, but when
ground into meal by the retail mer
chant.'is classed and stands as such
substitute cereal.”

AMERICAN TRENCHES
ONLYJHEET AWAY
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, IN
FRANCE, February 7.—American
troops in trenches on the French front
at one plaxe are only sixty feet from
I
the German line. Inanother place a
mile of ground separates the opposing
positions. At this point, however,
there is a number of ponds and
neither side apparently desires to oc
cupy the water-covereed ground.
The American tranches are all in
more or less marshy ground, making
the use of "duck boards" necessary
at all times, except when the trench
water and mud are frozen. The (
trenches were shallow when the
Americans moved in, but since then
they have been deepened and improved.
in every dugout the soldiers work
almost constantly at the pumps, keep
ing out the water which seeps in.
But the watery conditions are unfavor
able for trench rats, and few of them
are seen. One unit spent more than
a week in the line before seeing a
rat, and he apparently was in a hurry
to get some place where the ground
was drier.
In some places the artillery is on
ground but little higher than the
trenches, although a number of our
Leteries manage to keep "dry feet”.

ITALY APPEALS FOR
SOMETHING TO EAT
i
| Washington, Jan. 7. —The following
authoritative statement on the food
j situation in Italy was obtained from
| official Italian quarters here:
I “Ever since Italy went into the war
I (that is to say, after two and one-half
i years), the Italian government has
' regulated the importation and expor
tation of cereals in the kingdom. For ’
the las two years an inventory has :
( been taken of all grains, and they '
< have been further requisitioned by
the government, which has fixed min-,
imum prTc6s~ suppressing every pri
vate commercial handling of these
grains.
, “This rigorous control prevents all
speculation and hoarding of all the
grain produced in the interior, and spe
cial government provisions impose a
heavy fine on every one disobeying
these decrees. The requisitioning is
carried out by the military authori
ties with the strictest observance of
the law.
“According tp the decree of January
2, even the smallest quantities of
grain in the country are now taken
over by the government, so that equal
; distribution may be made. Whoever
stores more than twenty-two pounds
of flour must deciare the quantity to
the authorities, who can then dis
pose of it according to the greatest
necessity of the moment.
“Since .January 6 all the bakeries
' and pastry shops which used to make
small quantities of sweets out of
chestnuts, corn or other nuts have
not manufactured or sold sweets of
any kind, but only chocolate in tablets,
water ices and fruit preserves, or
biscuits not inferior to fifteen grams
in weight.
"One of the most recent decrees
orders all the mills to grind only the
quantity of grain and cereals authoriz
ed by the Prefects.
“AU these provisions will show
America what rigorous measures have
, been adopted by the Italian govern
■ went before presenting their urgent
need of importing foreign grains.
“It may be relied upon that Italy
only asks for the minimum necessary
for individual existence. One can say
that every little crumb is saved today
in Italy. Unless it is desired to
physically exhause a nation which

Henry Pickney's flirtation, or rather

He will be prosecuted in recorder’s

Mr. Pickney was said to have invit

"It cannot be too frequently re

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of
Newark, New Jersey, has stood for all that is
best in life insurance.
More than nine thousand satisfied Georgia policy
holders—many of them your friends and neigh
bors—will gladly testify to its merits.
This Is the Company:
That furnishes insurance at absolute cost, with a
most liberal policy contract giving cash, loans
and other values from the FIRST year.
That has the unique practice of extending to old
members every improvement, advantage or con
venience which may be offered to the new in
surer —bringing the old policies up to date, in so
far as possible.
That writes a very large proportion o its busi
ness from year to year on its old customers.
That treats every member as a partner, and on
that account has attained a nation-wide reputa
tion as °A Policyholders Company.”
That helps to “keep money at home,” which is
demonstrated by the fact that the amount loaned
on Georgia farms and other payments to Georgia
citizens has exceeded the total premiums collect
ed in the state for several years.
That has increased its dividend scale three times
and also declared four Special Dividends within
the past eight years, thus indicating economical
management.
