pie:
Monday is wheatless.
Tuesday is meatless.
Wednesday is wheatless.
Saturday is porkless.
One wheatless meal every day.
One meatless meal every day.
Save sugar every day.
Save fats every day.
Wheat and meat are the two sta
Piles most essential now; the Fulton
County Food Administration has been
advised that there is likely to be a
temporary scarcity of fresh meat, due
to difficulty in transportation, and
that notice should be given through
the press that retail dealers in meats
and meat substitutes must not at this
time charge prices giving more than
normal margin above cost, and that
they must distribute such meat as is
available fairly among their patrons.
Dealers violating these instructions
will be reported to Washington and
their supplies will be cut off.
They are also asked by the State
Food Administrator to watch prices
in this community and report any
violations.
From now on county food admins
tration committees will be called upon
to- investigate complaints of law vi
olations and report on Investigations
to the Law Enforcement Division of
the Food Administration at Colum-
bus
Three retail grocers at Pittsburgh,
Pa, have had their supplies of IL
censed food cut off by order of the
U. S. Food Administration, because
of making unjust and unreasonable
charges in handling and dealing in
necessaries.
A wholesale grocery firm of New
Haven, Conn, has been deprived of
license and ordered to close its doors
after having been found guilty of
charging an exorbitant price for su-
gar.
A dealer in cotton seed meal and
cake at Shreveport, La, had his place
of business closed because he failed
to make delivery of feedstuffs neces-
sary to preserve the cattle of his COM
munity.
h A firm of wholesale food handlers
in Newport News, Va, had their IL
cense revoked for refusing to accept
consignments of perishable foods or
dered by them, allowing them to rot
in the freight yards.
In recent bulletin to the local
Food Committee, the State Food Ad-
, ministration places the following
statements:
We can work for time on our
emotions, but it is only when we
are willing to face the facts in the
> case that we can really shoulder
the burden at hand and carry it to
the finish.
Now the facts in the feeding of
the army we plan to send over to
France are these: This army would
eat 13,350,000 lbs of beef month
900 lbs of bacon, 1,375, ,000
cans of fresh roast beef, hashed
n corned beef, corned beef, and sal
+. mon, 13,350,000 lbs of flour, and
: 100000 lbs of sugar month. :.
In addition to this, because oul
t fields have not yet been ravaged
: by war, and because, too, we
are able<to keep a fair proportion
: of men on our farms, the Allies
look to US to provide a great part
i of their food supply. This means
: that millions more tons of food
must be drained from our re.
t sources, if this war is going tc
bring victory to US instead of te
e Germany.
J. When we are willing to face
}. these facts, then we will begin il
n earnest to save the food that il
Il wanted for these big shipment:
j. abroad.
We have already found that corn
l. oatmeal, rye, and barley can b.
substituted for great part of oul
! wheat, and for our meat, anima
i fats and sugar there are other ap
n petizing and nourishing substitute.
j. that can be used in part for them
Substitutes for sugar Include
t. raisins, honey, maple syrup, corr
l. syrup, sorghum and molasses; fo
n, red meats, fish, poultry, game
J. beans, nuts; for animal fats, tn,
various vegetable oils.
% Wauseon is on the list as one O
% " Ohio towns to hear speaker from
Washington, who will give addresse
based upon the report of the Amer
lean Commission which has just re
turned from a visit of inspection t
France and England.
