Hotels of State May
Economic in Wheat

The hotel men of the state, at the
suggestion OF the food supply commit
tee of the Connecticut Council of De-
fense, have agreed to plans whereby
the waste Of food stuffs will be cut
down. The committee pointed out to.
the hotel men that wheat is the COM
rnodit, most desirable to save, as the
people Of Europe are familiar with its
use and 1T is not possible to instruct
them to any great extent in the use
of substitutes. Economy in the use
of wheat was suggested by making
reasonable charge for bread and butt
ter. by reducing the size of wheat
rolls and by eliminating the use of
toast under food as a garnish. Corn
meal as substitute for -four was
urged.
Butter and other fat waists might
be cut down, it was thought, by maxi
ing a small charge for butter and by.
eliminating fried dishes wherever pos
sEble
1t was recommended that the use
I OF all salt meats. ham and bacon, be
eliminated, and that wherever possible
perishaible products such as fish and
shellfish be used in season to replace
! the more staple foodstuffs. It was
pointed out that a certain amount Of
veal and young chicken must reach
the market because many producers
are interested in the production of
milk and eggs and have not the room
to grow the chickens or calves to ma
turity. The use of immature animals
for meat was discouraged, however.

100 Years Old u

"The kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DIR. Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping a cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.
