INCREASE USE OF MILK.

The United. States Food Admins
tration. cooperating with the educa-
tional and Unconstitutional work OF
the Department of Agriculture (coun-
ty agent system). is now putting on
campaign TO further increase the
use OF dairy products.
Milk is one OF the most important
sources OF food the human race pos
sesses. For the proper nourishment
OF the child 1t is absolutely indispen-
sible and its use should be kept up In
tue diet as long as possible. Not on
ly does II contain all the essential
food elements in the most available
form for ready digestion, but the re-
cent scientific discoveries show IL TO
bo especially rich in certain peculiar
properties that alone render growth
possible. This essential quality also
makes II OF special value in the sick
room. In hospitals IL has also been
shown that the wounded recover more
rapidly when they have milk
Keep this firmly in mind: For the
purpose OF stimulating growth, and
especially in children, butterfat and
other constituents OF milk have no
substitutes" Therefore, every parent
owes to himself and his family the
duty Of providing requisite amounts
of milk. butter, cheese and other
dairy products. During this last win
ter, when much agitation was had In
some of the larger cities over the
price OF milk which was advanced
from two to three cents per quart by
reason Of the rapid rise in the cost of
feed and labor, many families among
the poor were found giving their
children tea and coffee instead of
milk Such methods OF feeding fail
to nourish the child properly.
There is a need to conserve fats,
but nothing is gained by using other
fats as substitute for butter.

EAT PORK; SAVE BEEF.

June IA. 1918.
To Managers of Public Eeating Plac-
es:
The changing situation in shipping
and the increasing demands for our
growing army. and with the fiuctua-
tion in the supply of local beef in
France, all make il impossible to de-
termine policies for long periods in
advance.
The demands for beef for our army
and the allied armies are rapidly de-
creasing the present surplus, on the
other hand we have enough increased
supply of pork this summer to permit
economy expension in it's use. There
fore, to render a direct service TO our
army and the allied armies, we must
substitute beans. fresh pork, bacon,
hams and sausages for beef products.
You are not to serve beef more than
four times weekly: Boiled beef twice
weekly; beefsteak at not more than
one meal weekly and roast beef at not
more than one meal weekly.
In view OF the necessity for this
ruling, violation of its provisions will
be sufficient cause for closing your
place Of business.

SECOND DRAWING HELD.
Order Numbers of Those Registered
In June Established.


The order number OF the young
men who registered on June 9TH was
established on Thursday when there
was held at Washington the second
drawing OF numbers,
Announcement OF arrangements for
the drawing awaited reports from half
a dozen local boards whose records
are incomplete.
The drawing was held with for
NAL ceremony in the capitol, like that
which fixed the order OF nearly TO-
ooo. .ooc registranta year ago. The
plan was not made public, but 1t Is
understood 10 be modification OF
the original scheme.
The law provides that the 1918
registrants shall be placed at the
classes to which they may be assigned
by the local boards on the basis OF
their missionaries. A very large
proportion OF the nearly 100000 reg
istered are expected to go into Class /.
The new questionnaires are being
mailed TO this "twenty-one-year" class
by the local draft board. They diner
from those used last year, in that
they are much more in detail. More
questions are asked OF the registrants,
especially in regard to citizenship, in
dustrial and agricultural occupations

and the following divisions are
made:

spect OF whom no deferred classifi-

Glass I'LL Registrant who fails
TO submit questionnaires and in re-
spect OF whom no deferred classiica-
tion is claimed or made.
This will be the class in which de-
Ilnquents and draft evaders will be
placed.
Glass II. All registrants not in
cluded in any other division of this
schedule.
Another division has been added I
class 8, and is;
Glass 81. Persons discharged
from the army on the ground OF
alienage or upon diplomatic request.
"The last division will be the one
in which aliens who have been sent
back from camp will be placed
THE addition OF the phrase upon
diplomatic request" IS interesting
and open TO speculation.
