500 Victory Bread to Be
Rule for ALI After
September |.

The allied nations go on q conn
mon wheat and bread schedule after
September !. America, with q great
bumper harvest coming. has enough
grain to care for the deficits Of all.
IL all maintain a Victory bread and
-four system. Such was the ans
nouncement from the United States
Food Administration yesterday.
All wheatless days and meals for
America are abolished. but all bread
used in this country must CORES
pond 10 the bread to be used abroad.
It must not contain more than 90
per cent wheat
."It has been agreed that the wheat
bread Of the allies shall contain 20
per cent Of other grain than wheat
and II is only just that We should
bear our share in this saving and
that our bread at least should be
universal with those who are suffer-
ing more greatly from the war than
ourselves" says the announcement
Exact proportions for mixing Vic
tory -four are given:
Four pounds of wheat -four to one
pound of barley. or to one pound Of
corn -four; eight pounds Of wheat
flour to one pound Of barley -four and
one pound Of corn -four; three pounds
Of wheat -four to not less than two
pounds OF rye flour. ~
Where straight wheat -four Is sold.
20 per cent substitutes must be sold
coincidentally. The $3.50 rule on wheat
-four and substitutes is abolished.
Bakers bread must contain at
least 20 per cent Of substitutes
The Food Administration relies on
the women OF the country who make
their own bread to see that the SUBJ
stitutes are mixed in at least as
heavy a proportion as the adminis-
tration has ordered in the case Of
Victory fiours."
Corn meal for corn bread should
be purchased separately, as Its pur-
chase with wheat flour would disturb
the proportions Of substitutes which
the administration prescribes.
If the consumer objects to the use
Of barley. rye or corn fours, the
dealer may substitute, at the rate
Of one pound with every four pounds
OF straight wheat flour, Feterita -four
or meal, rice. oats. kaffir. milo. pea
nut. bean. potato, sweet potato or
buckwheat fiours.
Proportion Of Rye.
Pure rye -four or meal ruay be sub
stituted In the proportion of two
pounds Of rye with three pounds of
wheat
Restrictions OF bakers to 70 per
cent of their 1917 wheat consumption
is rescinded: In crackers only 10 per
cent OF substitutes other than rye are
required.
Bakers and dealers will be permitted
to carry a sixty-day supply Of -four
instead Of a thirty-day. as is now the
rule.

GERMANS TALK
OF PERMANENT
DEFENSELINE
Let Enemy Batter Head
.Vainly on Elastic
Ramparts.

Amsterdam, via London, Aug. "a
The idea OF q permanent German de-
fensive in the west has become a
fixed subject Of discussion in the Ger
man press. Some Of the foremost
German military critics have begun
to talk about q fortified German
camp equipped to beat of any allied
onslaughts."
The war correspondent Of the Kol-
nische zeitung. for instance, after q
trip through Belgium and France,
speaks Of the "avant terrain" around
Germany, declaring that II n imma-
terial how far west we stand. pro-
vided the avant terrain Of the fortress
OF Germany extends far into the
enemy's country. and our home land
is protected from attack and in
vasion."
He adds that the fortress Of Ger
many" thus defended would be all
that is required.
The enemy viii be only battering
his head against the elastic ramparts
Of our fortress"
The German papers now generally
agree that the situation on the west
front. as well as the German interna-
donal position. Is critical. The Taeg-
liche Rundschau admits that the
groundwork OF q conflict has been
laid which may affect Mexico and
Argentina
Spanish situation Critical.
The paper adds the Spanish note
must be considered an unfriendly
act" Germany. the Rundschau as
serts. cannot make any concession
in the submarine war"
The Socialist organ. Borwaerts, has
this to say about the spanish-Ger-
man crisis:
The entrance Of Spain into the
war would be the greatest political
triumph for the Entente" The paper
demands a ''clever and obliging Ger
man policy toward Spain"
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, on the
other hand. which has been known Of
late to express the governments
views, declares fatty that Spain
must acknowledge our submarine
war"

LESS BULL

Less bull. but keep up the mo-

the country. his coat on. his sleeves
rolled up and his shoulder pushing

As a result some Of the long dis

Circular Sent to Yards.
The board yesterday sent to every
shipyard in the country a recent res
olution OF the War Labor Board.
defining the governments labor pro-
gram. q complete understanding Of
which by the men. the board be-
lieves. will do much to take the place
OF the speaking squads. incidentally
the men are asking for an increase
in wages to 81 an hour, with double
time for overtime, a demand which
the board Is inclined to regard as
excessive. and which an understand
ing OF the resolution may modify.
The resolution says:
Resolved: That the National War
Labor Board deems II an appropriate
time to invite the attention of the
employers and the workers alike to
the wisdom of composing their DIFF
ferencies in accord with the princi-
pies governing the National War
Labor Board. which were promulgated
and approved by the President. April
s. 1918.
That this war is not only q war
of arms, but also a war of workshops,
a competition in the Quantitive pro-
duction and distribution of munitions
and war supplies, a contest in indus
trial resourcefulness and energy.
That the period of the war Is not
a normal period of Industrial expan--
sion from which the employer should
expect unusual profits or the en-
ployes abnormal wages that it is an
interregnum in which INDUSTRY Is pur-
sued only for common cause and
common ends. -

reasonable returns as will assure its

cause while the physical well-being
OF labor and its physical and mental
effectiveness In a comfort reasonable
In view of the exigencies OF the war
should likewise be assured.
That this board should be careful
in its conclusions not to make orders
in this interregnum based on approved
views OF progress in normal times,
which, under war conditions, might
seriously impair the present economic
structure of our country.
That the declaration of our prin-
ciples as to the living wage and an
established minimum should be con-
strued in the light Of these considera-
tions.
That for the present the board or
its sections should consider and de-
eide each case involving these prin-
ciples on its particular facts and re-
serve any general rule OF decision
until its judgments have been suf-
ficiently numerous and their opera
tons sufficiently clear to make gen.

1t May Not Be Troubling You
During the Warm Weather, But

Catarrh is not only a disgust

one. and you should never let

your system until you have done it
thoroughly. Get nd of it, what
ever it costs you in trouble and
money.
There is no use in permitting
yourself to be deceived. Perhaps.
like thousands of other. afflicted
with Catarrh. you are about ready
to believe that the disease is In
durable. and that you are doomed
to spend the remainder of your
days hawking and splitting. with no
relief in sight from inflamed and
stopped-up air passages that make
the days miserable and the nights
sleepless.
Of course. this all depends upon
whether or not you are willing to
continue the old-time. make-shift
methods of treatment that you and
many other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial results.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself. and not its symptoms.

course you know that when you
