Hartford. Oct. 14-Beginning Oct. 21 every public eating place in the country must be operated according to the United States Food Admins tration rules and regulations and this new public eating house program will, according to A. c. Judd of Wa terbury, State Hotel Chairman for the Food Administration, be strictly enforced. The usual and easiest way of disciplining an unlicensed eat ing place and compelling it to ob- serve what have heretofore been more or less voluntary rules and reg ulations is by cutting off their sup plies of licensed staple food stuffs. Those hotels anad restaurants which l operate their own bakeries hold bak- CTS licenses from the Food Admin istration and any infractions by them may be summarily dealt with by the suspension or revocation or the paK- CTS license. In either event, the | Food Administratio according to what Federal Food Administrator | Robert Scoville said today, intends 1 to get a full observance of the new rules in all places where cooked food l is sold to be eaten on the premises | and MT. Scoville esrrmayes that in 1 this Nceuntry there are about nine million regular or occasional patrons of these places. It is estimated there are about 1,500 hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms in Connecticut and there are probably at least 100000 people who daily frequent the Con
 necticut public eating places.
 Through the new regulations the Food Administration intends that tho public eating places of sthe country shall do their share in fulfilling the American promise to the allies of seventeen and one-half million tons
 of food the coming year. Under
 twelve definite general orders the l Food Administration plans to carry
 out in the public eating places a di-
 rect reduction in the consumption
 of all food, particularly the staples
 rather than a series of emergency regulations such as wheatlesS anC
 meatless days and meals and the sub
 stitution of one food for another.
 Under recent restrictions in Can,
 ada every boarding housekeeper serv'
 ing fifteen meals a day outside theil
 families must have a license and gro
 Cers may not serve them unless theI
 are licensed. Concerning the license
 in this country MT. Scoville said toda!
 "it has not been deemed advisable oI
 necessary at the present time actual,
 to license the operation of public eat
 ing places, but in places where thu patriotic cooperation of such publi eating places cannot be secured b,
 other means the United States Foot
 Administration will not hesitate tC 1 secure compliance with its order
 through it's control of the distribution
 of sugar, flour and other food sup
 plies. A failure to conform to an
 of the following orders will be regard
 ed as a wasteful practice forbidde
 by Section Four of the Food Contrc
 Act of August 10, 1917"
 These general orders prohibit tn
 serving of any bread that does nc contain at least the twenty per cen = of wheat flour substitutes and of thi @ Victory bread no more than tw n ounces may be served to patron
 one meal; if no Victory bread is ser1 7' ed, four ounces of other breads, sue as corn bread, mullins or Bosto e brown bread may be served. Brea served at boarding camps is excep 'o ed as is bread containing at least or B. half rye flour. No bread is to I II served until after the first course ,- on the table and no bread or toa l. may be served as a garniture. l.
