INFORMATION FROM u. s.
FOOD ADMINISTRATION

Sixteen thousand new food posters
will be mailed to county administra-
tors in the next three days. These
should be distributed quickly as they
will not help win the war unless the
public sees them. If you wish to help
distribute them apply to the county
administrator. These should be put
up early so as not to detract from the
Liberty Loan Posters to be put up in
two weeks.
Our Washington legal department
has ruled: "The purchaser of -four
from a retailer is not entitled to any
credit for wheat -four substitutes
bought elsewhere or at any other
time" This means credit cards are
outlawed as they have been abused.
Tapioca and hominy grits have
been added to the wheat substitute
list. There are no other additions to
date. There is no excuse for con.
fusion regarding the substitute list

we are. They are not allowed to vote
on the question. The brewers, repre-
senting a small but powerful factor
in British politics, are to blame for
the unfortunate conditions in the
sale of liquor to our soldiers. But
the English people themselves are
splendid people, and they are beseech-
ing their government every day to
pass a bill forbidding the sale of
drink and make drink out Of it. The
papers have misquoted me. Our
wheat is now sent to England in the
form of -four. But it is true that the
British people, j. e., the brewers, are
using a great quantity of grain for
drink. For that matter, so are we,
and America is no better than Eng
land in that respect. have said that
repeatedly, but the papers have not
quoted that. It is the duty Of Ameri-
can citizens to stand by Great Britain
at this time, and send her every pos
sible assistance in the matter of food
and help, and at the same time ask
our own government to ask Great
Britain to refuse to sell drink to our
boys, and also close up our own brew
cries, and save the food that we are
wasting. I have given my only son
to the cause of the Allies. That is
my answer to any one who says we
ought not to help Great Britain. on
account of the waste Of grain for
drink. 81

CHARLES M. SHELDON GIVES
HIS VIEWS REGARDING WAR

The folloing is copy of couple
of letters recently sent out by the
Speakers's Bureau Council of De-
tense and United States Food Adj
ministration for Kansas, and are
self-explanatory:
Manhattan, Kansas, Feb. 9, 1918,
DR.. Chas. M. Sheldon,
Topeka, Kansas.
My Dear DR.. Sheldon:
The manner in which the news
papers have published statements
credited to you concerning the use OF
food stuffs in the manufacture OF
liquors in England has been a matter
of considerable discussion on the part
of some members of our Speakers
Bureau. You are quoted as having
said: "Kansas mothers are asked to
send their boys to the front and are
asked to save wheat thru wheatless
DAYS, and that wheat is being used
by England to make liquor with which
to debauch their boys" The logical
conclusion on the part of the Kansas
parent would be: "Then / will not
send my boy nor my wheat" This
conclusion is clearly in direct defiance
to the Government draft law and to
the laws of the Food Administration.
Knowing you and your work for so
many years past, I cannot do other
than believe that you are being mis-
quoted in this matter. l am the more
sure of this since / know that you
have sent your own boy into the army
service with the knowledge that he
will doubtless be sent to the front,
and also that you yourself are abid-
ing by the provisions of the Food Ad-
ministration. l wish to ask you, how
ever, directly this question:
In your opinion do you consider
that the facts to which you have Civ
en- publicity should have any bearing
whatever upon Kansas parents CIV
ing their sons for foreign service and
obeying strictly the provisions of the
Food Administration in the way Of
wheatless meals, wheatless days, and
the substitution of other cereals?
Yours very truly,
(Signed) WALTER BURR.
Central Congregational Church
Topeka, Kans., Feb. IL, 1918
My Dear Burr:
The facts that | have made public
concerning the conditions in Great
Britain have no bearing whatever or
Kansas parents giving their sons foi
the foreign service or sending food tc
Great Britain. The English people
are just as eager for prohibition a!
