A Kitchen Gard.

A sugar ration of three pounds for
each person month, a porkless day and
one wheatless and meatless meal day
will be recommended to householders in
a new kitchen card soon to be put out by
the food administration. Observance of
wheatless and meatless meals will be
asked in addition to the wheatless and
meatless days called for now.
The normal consumption of sugar in
the United States has been more than
seven pounds a month for each person.
If the new directions are followed uni
versally it will cut its use to below half.
The cards will caution against boarding
foodstuffs in homes, pointing out that
the practice not only is selfish but that
it contributes to high prices and defeats
the purposes of the food administration
in seeking an equitable distribution.
The reverse side of the card carries a
message to householders on the world
food situation and the duty of America
towards feeding the Allies.
The food situation in Europe" it
says, lis far graver than when the pre-
liminary survey of the food supply of the
world for this year was made We have
Il
policy of the food administration, by the
prevention of exports, to retain for our
people an ample supply of every essential
foodstuffs The harvests of our Allies
have proved less than we had contem-
plated and the great curtailment of ship
ping by the submarine during the last
few months has further prevented them
from access to remote markets.
Beyond the demands of the Allies
there is a call upon US by the friendly
neutrals for food and if we can not at
least in part respond to these neutral
calls starvation on an unparalleled scale
must ensue.
Good has taken a dominant position
in the war and we must ask the Ameri-
can people to sacrifice far more than we
at first thought necessary. We have eX-
ported the whole of the surplus of wheat
from this harvest after reserving to our
selves an amount sufficient for our nor
NAL consumption of seed and flour until
the next harvest and therefore the
amount of wheat flour that the United
States can contribute to mix with the
war bread of our Allies during this win
ter will be simply the amount that our
people reduce their consumption month
by month.
THE Allies today ask US for % per
cent more meats and fats than we con-
slider our monthly production permits US
to send them without trenchlng on our
own supplies or on the other hand I'M
less we can consume less. Due to the
shortage in shipping, our available sugar
supplies Must be less than normal from
the present time forward
every particle of diminished con-
sumption by the American people is one
particle more for the soldiers, men,
women and children of our Allies and for
the starving people in other countries.
I'VE must not waste any foodstuffs.
In this emergency only the simplest of
living is patriotic"

by rail with both Reval and Riga and
also has triweekly steamboat service
connecting it with the trade center of
Pskov, on the Velikaya, one of the
water routes connecting the Baltic
with Southern Russia. The distance
to Riga by rail is 156 miles. in south

the northwest a distance of 11S miles.

1777. 1t had suffered from conflagra
ton on two previous occasions when
invading armies punished it for its

When to Cut Trees.

Trees should be cut in winter, as
timber dries more slowly at that time
Of year and there is little danger Of
damage from season checking. Logs
can be handled most economically in
the winter months as four times as
many logs can be hauled on sleds as
on wheels. If the logs or posts are cut
In winter they become well seasoned
before they are set, and proper season
ing is the most economical preserva-
tive treatment one can give to posts
or poles. All the great industrial or
CARNATIONS, such as railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies, that
use enormous quantities of timber
specify that it must be cut between
October 1 and March 1. Experience
has shown that best results have been
obtained by cutting the trees at this
time

Stomach Tablets.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give instant
relief, of course, but they do more; they
drive out the poisonous gases that cause
fermentation of food and thoroughly
clean, renovate and strengthen the stom-
ach so that it can readily digest food
without artificial aid.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are guaran-
teed to end Indigestion, acute or chronic,

Getting Down to business.

An embargo on all export freight ex-
cept for the United States government;
on, all railroads reaching North Atlantic
seaboard ports has been ordered by the
general operating committee of the East
ern railroads. In this connection the au-
thority of traffic managers comprising
the export division of the Eastern car
riers was extended to cover the issuance
of railroad shipping permits embracing all
commodities for export, except govern
ment freight, and all existing permits are
cancelled.
This has been done to enable the rail-
roads to use more cars for bringing food
supplies and coal to eastern consumers.
