HOOVER TANGLES
FOOD RULES AGAIN
Administrations Explanations
Leave Restaurateurs More
Puzzled Than Ever. y

The attention Of Philadelphia lawyers
to whom the war has spelled curtailment
OF practice ana increase of opportunity
for the unwinding Of riddles for the pro-
fessions sake. Is directed to rules ana
interpretations promulgated by the Fed
eral Food Board yesterday touching on
and appertaining TO mixed dishes TO be
served In restaurants until further
notice.
The Food Board having within the
recent past issued a set Of rules placing
upon the index certain combinations OF
food long customary and popular in the
eating resorts OF the land, issued an
explanation OF it's rules yesterday in
response TO inquiries from every corner
OF the country. The rules as revised and
amended now are
"In relation to the twelve general
orders for all public eating places rela-
tive TO which inquiries have been made
General order No. Q does away with
the service OF bread or toast as a garni-
ture, but does not forbid the serving
of poached eggs or Clipped beef on toast.
This order is intended simply to do away
with the wasteful practice of serving
bread and toast simply to make dish
look attractive.
Exit the Club Sandwich.
General order No. means that liver
and bacon mixed grills. mixed cold
meats. breast of chicken with Virginia
ham or bacon, sweetbreads and bacon.
club sandwiches containing chicken and
bacon, or any dishes made up of more
than one kind of meat, shall not be
served. This order. however, does not
forbid the service of bacon and eggs or
ham and eggs.
General order No. prevents the use
of bacon as a dressing or accompaniment
&c any kind of meat or poultry. And
under general order No. Welsh rabbit
cannot be served.
SO much for that. Nov this
Particular attention is called to the
fact that If a patron desires 1t one NUT
ton. one lamb or one veal chop should
be served to an order and reduced por-
tons of ham and bacon should be
served. Prices should be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
Really Funny Suggestion.
This does not m-an that a portion
should consist OF only one veal. lamb or
mutton chop, but It does mean that il
you are serving more than one chop the
patron may call for only one chop. If
your portion OF bacon or ham is large
a patron may call for reduced portion.
And it is emphasized that If such a re-
duced portion is served the price should
be reduced accordingly"
The work cut out for the Philadelphia
bar Is simple. All it has TO do is to find
a restaurateur whose portion of ham and
bacon is large. find another who is
serving too many chops to the order,
and. with them found, find, II he can be
found. one who is ready TO reduce the
price accordingly.
Grocers hereafter will keep by them a
form of sugar pledge which they will
ask their customers to sign. Upon the
representation of some OF the grocers
that their sugar supply was becoming
exhausted the food board has equipped
them with a form of pledge which will
make 1t impossible for any housewife to
obtain more than two pounds Of sugar
per month for each member of Her fam
lily. with similar allowance for each
servant employed.

William J. McAneeny OF the club called
UP on long distance phone Seneca G..

members OF the up. G." had decided to
make this handsome gift to the smoke
fund. in which they are deeply interested.
and for which Mr.. Lewis is the booster
par excellence.
Even Mattresses Contributed.
Confirming the telephone conversation
in letter next day Mr. McAneeny wrote {:
1.-THE acorn from which this fund grew
was the thought to compliment you. a
fellow member Of the p. G.. by donating
IL to cause in which you are keenly in
terested. AS soon as THE SUN Tobacco
Fund was mentioned the boys connected
up in series--purse. patriotism. loyalty to
fellow member and generosity--and 1
wish you could have witnessed the re-
Spouse. The enthusiasm was like a wave
carrying everything before 1t and inspir-
ing every one to make contribution OF
some kind.
You will find on the list contributions
from the club stewardesses. mattresses
and caddy master. One waitress apollo
glzed for not contributing because her
husband was sick at home. The boys
Immediately suggested that a purse be
made up. one-half to go to her to aid
in caring for her husband and the other
half to be a subscription in her name to
THE SUN Tobacco Fund. The amount in
the purse was $l35.
81 arp enclosing my check for $3.50.
as thought you would be anxious to get
a portion into the fund at once. and l
hope to collect and pass on the balance
Of $500 within a few days"
When he forwarded this handsome in
stalment with Mr.. McAneeny's explana-
tory letter Mr.. Lewis said: Il have
never during my business career expe-
rienced anything more pleasant than
the carrying out of the wishes Of
friends who have evidenced such splen-
did interest In THE Sun Tobacco Fund,
which Is close to our hearts"

&. FOR IMPORTANT WORK
Assigned to Organization by War
Department and Essential to
Winning Struggle.

Although war statisticians figure
there are as many chances to help
Uncle Sam win the war as there are
persons in the United States, there
are some specific immediate chances
for those too old to bear arms or
otherwise barred from enlisting. Here
are few:
Duties to Be Performed.
The War Department has assigned
to the Y. NJ. c. A. many duties per-
formed by non-combatant forces.
These duties are essential to winning
the war through keeping up the
morale of our forces. To fulfill them
to the satisfaction of Uncle Sam the
Y. NJ. C. A. needs trained men for
many kinds of work in the Eastern
trict of Columbia
There are now $50 persons engaged
in Red Triangle work in the training
and embarkation camps of the mill
tary Department of the East. They
volunteered for service, relinquishing
duties. The contracts of many are
expiring. and they are now return
ing to their former occupations.
Several others have been detached
for overseas service. A hundred men
are needed before September 1. CIV
be of real service to the nation.
The national war work council of
the Y. NJ. c. A. has made an appro-
priaticn out of which the board and
tuition of all men recruited for ~"
work here at home will be paid while
be allowed $50 each toward travelling
expenses.

WAR SAYINGS DAY
Many Stamps Bought by Carroll
County Patriots

The war savings and thrift
stamp sales day was very we'll OBJ
served in Carroll county last Sat
urday. Many stamps were sold,
especially in Huntingdon, McKen-
zie, Trezevant and McLemoresyille.
If there were sales at any other
points in the county we have no
report of them at this writing.
Judge John r. Walker. of Tren-
ton, spoke in Huntingdon, Judge
w. H. Swiggart at Mckenzie and
j. Sam johnson at Trezevant.
The pupils of the Industrial and
Training School formed a parade
with flying banners and thrift
stamp slogans, and marched to the
court house here in body with
their principal, Prof. j. J. Hen
erickson. and his faculty leading.
George 7. Mccall presided for the
county chairman, Neill Wright,
and introduced the speaker, Judge
Walker, who spoke at length, urg-
ing patriotic cooperation with
every demand of the government,
and stating that anyone who failed
to do so was a Stacker.
Mr.. Mccall also read Governor
Rye's message, calling upon the
people to observe this day as a
stamp sales day, and urged the i'm
portance Of buying these stamps.
DR.. Penick, of Martin, who is
conducting a revival at the Bap-
fist church here. made strong
charge against Prussianism. The
Rev. G, G. Hines, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, pronounced
the invocation and benediction.
After the speaking members of
the Patriotic League and of the
industrial and Training School can.
vassed the crowd on the streets
and in the stores, distributing lit
and making sales.
The sales in the county amounted
to over $1,000, divided as follows:
Huntingdon, about $4,000; Nc
Kenzie, about $4,000; Trezevant,
about $2,250; McLemoresville,
about $3.50.

A GREAT SUCCESS
Result Of Saturdays Drive VIII
Go Over One Million

Seven hundred thousand people
attended public speakings and par
ticipated in parades last Saturday
in connection with the war savings
day observance in Tennessee. ac-
cording to an estimate by Z. r.
Preston, director for Tennessee of
the national war savings commit
tee. The day was observed in III
towns and cities and ll8 leading
platform men of the state gave
their services as speakers.
Mr.. Preston now estimates tie
total sales of thrift stamps and
war savings stamps on the one day
at much in excess of $1,000,000,
and he is convinced that when
complete reports have been re-
ceiyed it will be found that u ore
than 81, 100000. was taken in on
war savings day from the sale of
the stamps.
A further aggregate of the days
results is in the estimate that ESQ.,
900 people became war savers wi o
had not before started their thrift
cards. By April l, it is altogether
probable, Mr.. Preston says, that
Tennessee's sales of the war saw
ings stamps will have amounted to
as much as S., 100000, which will
place Tennessee in the lead of all
the southern states excepting Tex s.
and Oklahoma.
Including the 1,100 postofices,
which are all sales agents and sales
stations for the stamps, there are
now in Tennessee approximately
5000 places where war savings
stamps and thrift stamps are on
sale far in excess of the number of
places where postage stamps are
sold.

A Successful Term

The Oak Grove school, near
Trezevant, closed its winter ses.
sion last Friday. This was the
most successful term in the his
tory of this school, and was taught
hy Miss Annie Palmer, a very eff
6eient and popular teacher. Only
two days we're missed the entire
term, and this was on account of
sickness of the teacher. Attend
ance was also fine, being the best
ever had in this school. The pa
irons have agreed to furnish wood
to supply the school throughout
the next term. This is a fine COM
munity, and it is gratifying to know
people are awake to the advantage
of good school facilities.

Rev. George H. Mack, of Nash
vile, synodical evangelist of Ten
nessee synod, preached a splendid
sermon at the Presbyterian church
last Sunday morning.
At the close of the service he
outlined to the congregation the
plan of work for the church for
the new year, beginning April l.
A budget for the entire years
work, including PASTORS salary, in
surance, janitor, fuel, repairs and
all benevolences of the church was
presented and adopted unanimously
by the congregation. Four teams
of workers canvassed the entire
memt ership of the church Sun
day afternoon, and secured sub
scriptionS from each member to
cover the years budget. The new
plan provides that every member
of the church will make their Of
fering every Sunday morning in a
special envelope, prepared for the
purpose. These envelopes will be
distributed next Sunday. The new
plan makes every member a con.
'tributing member. and does away
with speaking of finances from the
pulpit. On the first day of the
week give as the Lord has prosper
ed you. At the end of the quarter a
quarterly statement will be mailed
to each and every member of the
church, showing exactly what they
have contributed during the quar-

Hines will preach an Easter SER
mon, and every member of the
church is urged to be present. All
who can are requested to bring or
send flowers.
At the Sunday school hour the
Christian Sunday school will rem

tendents alternating in the open
ing and closing of the school. You
are specially invited to Sunday

committee held an enthusiastic and
patriotic meeting in Nashville last
Monday.
After some discussion the COM
mittee decided to recind its former
action in calling a convention to
nominate candidates for judges of
the supreme and civil courts. They
gave as one reason for this action
chat the war situation made it ex-
pedient. 1t was sIso insisted that
the democratic party this year has

Gerry divisions,

FATAL ACCIDENT
Chimney Fall on q. w. Foster
causuing Instant Death

/
G. w. Foster, a prosperous far
mer living near Leach, was killed
last Friday evening BY chimney
falling on him, crushing his body
and causing instant death.
On Saturday before his home
was destroyed by fire, and prepar-
atory to rebuilding, be was dig
ging under the chimney so that it
would fall, so that the brick might
be more easily removed from the
SITE.
just exactly how the accident
happened no one knows for GER
tain, as he was alone when it oc-
Cured. His daughter, Mrs. Vern
Thomson. was in an old house
near by, and seeing the chimney
fall, rushed to the scene of the ac-
cident. She was accompanied by
her little brother. Not finding her
father, she called him, and receiv-
ing no response. began removing
the brick and found him lying be-
meath pile of brick, his head and
body badly crushed and life ex-
tinct.
Alarm was given and neighbors
rushed to the scene of the terrible
tragedy. The body was removed
from the rubbish and found to be
badly crushed. He fell upon his
face and his body was lying
about four feet from the base
of the chimney. The chimney
broke at the fireplace, and it is be-
lieved that it was upon him before
he realized his danger.
Mrs. Foster was at the home of
her son-in-law, S. G. Kennon,
when the terrible news of her hus-
bands misfortunate reached her.
The shock almost prostrated her,
and her grief has been intense.
Sheriff Kirk, j. w. Hickman and
Priest Kyle reached the county
house just as Mrs. Foster was no.
tilted of her husbands death.
They rushed to the Foster home,
where a few neighbors had gath
cred. The body was removed to
the county house, where it was
prepared for burial.
Mr. Foster was so years old and
is survived by bis wife and ten
children. He was a good citizen,
A useful man, a member of the
Christian church and was held in
nigh esteem by everybody The |
burial occurred Saturday at Pleas
mt Hill, Ed. Joe Weatherly Of
IiciaJing. An immense crowd was
present.
