Charles Hebberd, federal food ad-
miinstrator for Washington. inaugu-
rated "porkless Saturday" in Wash
ington this week. The request to OBJ
serve one day as porkless, which
comes from Herbert Hoover, is made
necessary by the extreme shortage Of
pork products among the allies and in
the United States. In addition to using
no pork on Saturday every one Is ask
ed to conserve bacon at all times. Ba-
con is needed more than any other
food product. No fresh Or salted pork,
bacon, ham or lard is to be used on
Saturday.
The request to discontinue the use
Of sugar bowls and bread plates In
Washington Is made by the hotel and
restaurant mems committee Of which
]. G. Marmaduke and B. c. Beck OF
Seattle are chairman. The request has
received the endorsement of Mr.. Heb
herd.
Where sugar is desired the guest
will be served with two medium sized
Jumps. Two slices of bread will be
served, amounting to two ounces. w
B. Aver, federal food administrator
for Oregon. has agreed to put the
bread and sugar regulations into ef-
feet in Oregon.

sires to emphasize these facts, and to
assure all producers and handlers OF
milk and dairy products, poultry and
eggs, fish, fruits, potatoes and vege-
tables that no restrictions have been
placed on such food materials, or are
at all likely to be.
Since everyone must save for the ex.
I portation OF wheat, meat, fats and gu.
gar, all should utilize more than ever
the bulkier. more perishable products
