TRAITOR SETS Tuesday Apart for
No Meats on tho
Table.
.WHEATLEss WEDNESDAY
Hotels and Restaurants as Well as

to Adhere to the
Regulations.

! Iowa Food Administrator J. F
Deems today officially designated
Tuesday of every week as meatless
day and each Wednesday as wheat
less day in Iowa, and at the same
time sounded an earnest appeal e
every good citizen and housewife IN
the state to heed tn suggestion, which
Is regarded as basic observance o.
food conservation in this state.
In designating Tuesday and Wed
nesday OF each week as the days or
which Iowans are asked to forego the
i specified main foods, Mr.. Deems acted
with full approval Of the government
and National Food Administrator
j Herbert c. Hoover. AS a consequence
! he believes that loyal Iowans will not
/. find 1t at all difficult to observe the
appeal or request, and the saving oc.
casioned by the mild restriction sug-
gested will be an enormous one.
In many other states the state food
admins traitors already have named
the days on which their people were
asked to refrain from the use of the
foods most needed In Europe and by
our soldiers, and reports indicate that
the response has been conscientious
whole-hearted one. Mr.. Deems has
great faith In Iowa, and feels confident
that here, too, the wheatless and
meatless days win mean something In
reality.

mated, but every restaurant and hotel
