can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw

ed. agreeing to curry out the new
wheat program.

ed to buy one pound Of cereal subsu-
tuie Tor every pound Of wheat Hour.
The substitute may he of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale Is made BY
weight and not by value of the COM
modities. There II, of course. no reg
uiarion demanding the consumer to
buy wheat -four at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been- provided: Cornmeal, corn dour,
edible cornstarch. hominy. corn grits.
barley fiour. potato -four, sweet potato

and meals, rice, rice -four, oatmeal.
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat -four con-
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi-
ties may be sold Mt the ratio of three
pounds to nve pounds of wheat -four
that ls, I'VE pounds of graham or
wheat -four counts the same as three
pounds of the usuBl wheat nour.
Mixed 1ours form another eIcep-
tion. Where any flour contains so

prepared Infants and invalid's food

That the approved substitutes may
be assorted Is fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for time
For instance. II = customer wishes to

essary \ stl,utes might be assorted
as follows: Corunenl. 8 pounds; corn
grits. pounds: 1ce. 4 pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, pound
hominy. 2 pounds: rolled oats.
pounds
None of the substitutes should bs
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can he mnde into cornbread, corn muf-
fins or, used In the baking Of wheat
Dread.
Cornstarch Is useful In making Gus
tnrd. thlckening gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms delicious dish. or II may
be used In baking corn bread. Rolled
oats nre used largely us breakfast por-
ridge or In oatmeal cookies or In
making mullins.
Bu,swheat flour may be used In
bread making. forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat flour. but is especially choice In
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With II wheatless meals needed
each week In America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
. will all be used to advantage.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs = demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each In
stead Of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration. endeavoring to ad.
Just the International food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions In this country on
the use Of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to q minimum.
In altering Its food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both In overseas shipping
md In Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change In the developing situa-
ton that they may know defi-
nitely the part their food sac
rltices play in the world war.

Miners Should Not Be Drafted

The present coal scarcity felt in
almost every section of the country,
furnishes the very strongest argu-
ment in favor of favorable consid-
Grafton of the request which Con-
gresham John r. Farr made of
Fuel Administrator Garfield in
Washington.
This request was that the Fuel
Administrator take action looking
to the prevention of further enlist
ment in the Army, the Navy, the
aero squadron or the engineers
corps of mine workers who are
needed at the collieries to help get
out a record output of coal.
The fact that weather conditions,
recently. have greatly minimized the
tonnage mined shows that the situa-
ton is one calling for action. What
the mines need is more labor and
not the taking away of experienced
men who are invaluable in the work
of getting out fuel.
A miner busily cutting coal is
serving his country just as effectively
these days as the men in the
trenches holding a part of the line
in France. The fact is too clear for
argument. 1t is supreme folly to
ask men engaged in thiS industry tc
leave their present duties to engage
in any line of Army service.
We have no doubt that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Baker will see
this matter in a proper light wher
it is laid before them by DR.. Gar.
field.-Scranton Republican.

STRENGTHEN PRESIDENT

Hilbert +. Baldwin in the outlook.
Senator Chamberlain authorized
me to make the following statement
on his behalf in my interview with
him:
From Washington's letters to the
Continental Congress- throughout our
whole history, as revealed by Upton
and others. from Bunker Hill to the
present day, we have had neither
military organization nor a military
policy. The need of the present day
is specially evident. l have been
n member of the Senate committee
on military affairs for the past seven
years, and keenly realize, l am sure,
as much as any one realizes, our
own deficiencies in what military es-
tahlishment we have.
LAS to building up a military or
ganiZation, l approve the efforts OF
Mr.. Baker, Secretary of War. Their
good effect is apparent. But they do
not go far enough because they do
not centralize authority. Hence
introduced a bill creating director
of munitions, who, with deflnlte legal
powers, would have charge OF the
production and distribution of war
supplies. To aid the President in
CARRYING out his war policy also in
troduced a bill creating war cabi-
net of three members, to be ap-
pointed by the President with the
Senate's advice and consent.
Acting under the President, these
men would be legally empowered to
devise and direct a war policy, and,
to this end, to coordinate the activi-
ties of the various government de-
partments. My criticisms OF the
government have been directed to
| the military side, and l and my
| colleague on the committee intro
duced a war cabinet bill, in no way
to diminish, but to strengthen the
Presidents powers by affording him
| a new arm of power.
I'm the same way the director OF
munitions bill would help the Sec
retary of War. ! advocate the uni
| yersal training, munitions director
\ and war cabinet bills to aid the gov
| ernment: that is my whole motive
There is only one thing for an Amer
| ican to do, namely, to help win the
war. I am actuated by that i'm

UPTOWN SALOONS
Editor Of The IcIcgrdfH:

o rue EdH0r or rue i ciegFGfH:
The killing at Verbeke and Capt.

principally noted for the indifference

general public.
The colored man who was well
coined in every saloon he passed.
finally landed in an ali-night affair.
hlled with the worst men you could
find in the city. He was tanked
up, a knife was sold to him and
then he was thrown out. He felt
insulted and wanted to fight as
nearly every man does who has the
rotten stuff poured into him. He
waited his chance and killed a man.
pays the penalty with his life it will
be said the Law, with a capital l..
has been satisfied. 1t isn't right #
the poor negro alone is punished.
That same Law was convinced by
testimony of citizens and pleadings
of the lawyer, that a rumshop was
necessary at Verbeke and Capitol
to accommodate the public, although
there are five or six saloons in the
immediate vicinity. l know what
an all-night saloon means from COM
ing in actual contact with it, and
the jitney men could tell a better
story of the toughs, male and fe-
male, whom they haul there and
drag away: but the best story of
all could be told by the policemen,
if they weren't afraid of losing Sheir
jobs. they could tell you of disgrace

too drunk to walk, women being
dragged out by men so overcome
that they had to be lifted bodily to n
conveyance and thrown in, or free
fight for all, attracting a more or
less drunken crowd of fifty or hun
dred cursing frequenters of this Jaw
full place. OF course l know of the
farce enacted in court and the po-
lice force, spic and span, at every
