flour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled
oats, bpskwheat -four, potato flour,
sweet potato flour, sofa bean flour
and feteria fours and meals). The
housewife may use these products sep
arately in making bread, cakes and
pastry, or mix them as she thinks
best.
"The retailers are to sell wheat flour
only with an equal weight of these
other cereals.
2. Consumers will be obliged to
obtain mixed cereal bread from their
bakers, who will be required under the
license regulations to mix five per cent
of other cereals with their wheat flour,
both in bread and rolls, and will be rer
quired gradually to increase this sub
stitution until, beginning February "a,
minimum Of 20 per cent OF such ce-
reals are to be used. The food ad-
ministration strongly urges on con-
sumers the buying Of this bread, which
will be known as victory bread, will
contain not less than 20 per cent of
cereals other than wheat. Graham or
whole wheat bread viii also be given
that name, because, containing as they
do, 25 per cent more of the wheat
grain than ordinary white bread, they,
200, viii serve the purpose of saving
wheat -four.
'If you bake bread at home use
wheat substitutes; if you buy it, buy
only victory bread"

Washington, d. O., Jan. 70. Pres
ident Wilson today issued a proclama-
tion calling upon the people to make
their greatest effort toward conserva-
tion of food for the allied forces.
He says the reduced productivity of
Europe, the partial failure of crops
and the destruction Of. shipping have
placed practically the entire burden
for subsistence upon the shoulders of
this country.
His proclamation reads;
"Many causes have contributed to
create the necessity for more inten-
sive effort on the part of our people
to save food in order that we may
supply ou- associates in the war with
the sust.nsnce vitally necessary to
them in these days of privation and
stress. rhc reduced productivity Of
Europe because of large diversion of
man power to the war, the practical
failure of barvests and the elimina-
tion of more distant markets for food
stuffs through the destruction of ship
ping places the burden of the subsist-
ence very l;rgely on our shoulders.
1.-THE food administration has form
ulated suggestions which if followed
will enable us to meet this great res
possibility without any real incon-
venience on our part.
'In order that we may reduce our
consumption of wheat and wheat pro-
duction of 80 per cent-a reduction
imperatively necessary to provide the
supply for overseas--wholesale job
bers and retailers should purchase and
resell to their customers only 10 per
cent of the amount used in 1917. All
manufacturers of alimentary pastes,
biscuits, crackers, pastry and cereals
should reduce their purchase and con-
sumption of wheat and wheat flour to
70 per cent Of their 1917 requirements,
and all bakers of bread and rolls to 80
per cent Of their current requirements.
Consumers should reduce their pur-
chases of wheat products for home use
to almost 70 per cent of those of last
year, or when buying bread should
purchase mixed cereal breads from the
bakers.
"To provide sufficient cereal foods
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers should substitute
potatoes, vegetables, corn, barley, oats
and rice products and the mixed cereal
bread and other products Of the ba-
kers which contain an admixture of
other cereals.
"In order that consumption may be
restricted to this extent, Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week, and one
meatless day should be observed as
wheatless meal.
'Tn both homes and public .eating
places, in order to reduce the consump-
tion Of beef, pork and sheep products,
Tuesday should be observed meatless
day in each week, one neatless meal
should be observed in each day, while
in addition, Saturday in each week
should further be observed as day
upon which there should be no con-

at least had realized the time gun
making required. But even France
herself, with the army at her throat"
he added, "had not been able to see
what vast gun programs the war
would lead into"
During this general statement of
the war plan and how it was develop
ed, Mr.. Baker was rarely interrupt

Washington, Jan. 28.-America will

France early this year, with a million
more trained and equipped ready to
follow as quickly as ships can be pro-
vided to carry them and the outlook
for ships is not unpromising-
Secretary Baker gave this informa-
tion the nation and to the world to-
day in a statement before the senate
military committee, barring much that
until now has been carefully guarded
with the army's military secrets, in
answering charges that the government
has broken down preparing for war.
From early morning until late after
noon the secretary addressed the COM

members Of both houses of congress
gathered in a big hearing room of the

| When lIr. Baker closed ii was appa-
rea be had created a profound impress
sion. Chairman Chamberlain said So
before he left the stand. There was
no attempt at cross examination. The
chairman proposed tina the secretary
be given a rest and it virtually was
agreed to recall him for further exam
ination later, after the committee has
completed it's hearing Of officers of the
medical corps, aviation section and
other branches of the service.
While many things disclosed i'm
pressed the committee was frankly
amazed when told that the men of
32 national guard and army division
al camps are ready to go at need.
When members wanted to know why
such things had not been given pub
licity before, Mr.. Baker spoke of the
reluctance of military men to reveal
their war plans, and quoted German
remarks about Americas advertis-
ment of her preparations.
Emphasizing that he was not there
to defend himself or anybody else, the
secretary urged the committee again
and again to lay bare any shortcom-
ings or failure of the department,
frequently he paused to seek stronger
language to describe the devotion OF
his associates in the department, mil
itary and civilian,
Mr.. Baker took personal response
bility for getting men under training
before their equipment was ready TO
the last shoe button" Such officers
as Maior-General Leonard Wood, he
said, had urged this policy. He de-
scribed conferences that evolved the
ordnance program and its fulfllment
submitting documents to prove that
France and Great Britain were sup
plying artilley and machine guns toi
the first forces at their own urgent re-
quest in order that ships might be
used for other purposes.
In all that was done prior to the
departure Of the first troops, Gen.
Pershing shared in the deliberations
and approved the decision reached,
, Mr.. Baker said, and now surrounded
with a saff of trained regular Of
ficers who could i'll be spared from
the great task at home Pershing is
! in France as the "eyes of the army" "
Every step taken since has been foun-
ded on his long daily cabled-reports
of what is going on at the fighting

Tables were cited to show that over
crowding in the camps and carton
ments had not been general and that

camps where medical opinin had
agreed it was least to be expected
The history of the development and
building of the cantonments was Civ

caution possible had been taken.

can serve you better than you can
serve yourself.
In many departments there is
special service of various sorts that
costs nothing. In most Of the hat
departments there is free trimming
service. If you buy the trimming
there or the hat and the trimming
they Will put it on your hat free of
cost. Likewise at the ribbon counter
in most of the shops here is some
clever salswoman who ties bows free
of cost TO purchasers.
Really a store is a lot besides a
place where you go to buy certain
articles. Ii is a sort Of service bu-
reau for the woman who has TO buy
things. There she is given the OPP
portunity of looking at hundreds
and thousands of articles which she
never could afford 10 buy and per-
haps would not care 10 buy. She
can learn by observation just what
other people want If she keeps her
eyes open in the shops she can
learn of a great many new and
labor saving devices. She can learn
what other women are buying and
she can get a good idea of what she
might buy if she had ample means.
The kind Of idle shopping that leads
women TO consume the time and the
energy Of salespeople without the
slightest idea OF buying is not sought
by the department store people. 10
be sure, but nowadays they do in
vite the kind OF shopping that
means a leisurely examination OF all
that the store has 20 offer before
any purchase is settled or. For
this reason cases and racks are so
arranged that we may examine care
fully and fully the newest and the
most interesting the store has to
offer without the embarrassment OF
having TO ask aid from salespeOple.

SHOPPING PRIVILEGES.

OF course there are a great many
women who impose on the good ma
ture and the patience Of the men
who run the department stores ard
the statesmen and saleswomen whom
these men employ. But on the other
hand there are women who do not
always get as much out of the stores
as they are entitled TO ana as much
as the store people are glad TO give
them.
Ii is never fair 10 a store TO keep
an inferior piece Of goods when you
have paid for something better with
out taking it back and giving them
"a chance 10 rectify the mistake. If
you return goods within a week Of
purchase together with the sales
check you can have fresh goods sub
stituted when it is not damaged or
when il has become damaged be-
cause OF some flaw in the article.
If you buy hand bag that comes
apart or in which the leather be-
comes loosened from the frame
shortly after you buy it you may
take il back. not for exchange but
for free repair. In the same way
gloves from which the snappers are
loosened are usually taken back for
free repair by any reputable store
management. Also when the snap
pers do not catch, the gloves may
be returned and the snappers pinch
ed by a saleswoman who is an eX-
pert at glove fitting.
In any good store there is a
special mail order service. Remem-
Der this. You may find it very CON
venient some time this summer 10
send home for articles that you
cannot get where you are staying
Remember that the shoppers en-
ployed by the stores are women Of
