REMOVE REGULATION
FOR EATING PLACES
Conservation of Food viii Be
Continued Under the Super
vision OF Individuals.

Effective Monday, December %, the
twelve General Orders of the Food
Administration for public dating
places are abolished. This frees hotel
keepers from all Food Administration
rules and leaves the problem of food
saving in their own hands.
1--WE do not hesitate to do this" said
Magnus Swenson, Food Administrator
for Wisconsin, because of the ready
adoption of all our conservation meas
ures by the hotels in the state. With
the present high cost of living and
their knowledge of our obligation to
ship 20.000,000 tons of food abroad,
their independence will undoubtedly
result in but little waste"

ITALIAN MERCHANTS PAY
PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS

With the aid of an interpreter, five
Italian merchants of Milwaukee were
examined by the Enforcement Division
of the Food Administration upon the
charge of selling flour without substi-
tutes. 1t is practically impossible to
bring to these storekeepers' under.
standing the matter of food regula-
tions, and what they do know of them,
they plead ignorance rather than fol.
low them. To emphasize the impor-
tance of food rules, unfair orders for
different periods of time were issued
against the merchants.
Frank Balistieri, who has disposed
of about 407 barrels of -four between
May 1st and October 10Th with but a
small quantity of substitutes had his
right to purchase flour revoked and an
unfair order issued against him pro,
hibiting him to sell -four for three
months beginning December 20.
V. Manciai, a small dealer selling 80
barrels of flour without any substi-
tutes, had an unfair order forbidding
him to purchase -four for 80 days com.

Frank Italiano who has been buying
and selling large quantities of -four
without substitutes is prohibited from
purchasing or selling -four until the
LIST of February beginning December

F. Tarantino, handling a consider

Atlas Milling company without substi-
tutes, is subject to an unfair order
preventing him from buying or selling

BREED DAIRY COWS
IN WINTER MONTHS

Dairy COWS should be bred during
December, January and February in
order to have them freshen in the
fall. The advantages of fall freshen-
ing, says G H. Staples, dairy specialist
of Louisiana State university, are that
the cow will then produce the maxi
mum amount of milk and butter fat,
dairy products are worth more during
the winter, the weather is usually mild
In the fall and troubles from calving
are not so apt to develop at that time
as in the extremely cold or hot
weather, and calves dropped in the
fall do better because when weaned
from milk, they are old enough to
Craze.
AS a great butter and dairy state,
Wisconsin will be affected by the
enormous demand for milk products
arising from the lack of dairy herds in
Europe and by the high prices which
milk and butter bring. According to
the Food Administration for Wiscon
sin, these staples will have the largest
market this year, and any efforts on
the part of farmers to increase theif
production will be profitably repaid.
Comfortable cows, sheltered proper
ly from cold and well fed will, OF
course, give the most milk Roughagt
is necessary to take care of body
weight, about pounds of hay being
required for every 100 pounds of live
weight and 8 pounds of silage to every
one pound of hay.
Grain mixtures are fed for milk pro
duction. The rate Should be one
pound of grain for every 4 pounds o.
milk which test below A per cent o.
one pound of grain for every pound,
of milk testing higher than per cent

JIM BRATHOVED WRITES
FROM FRANCE

The following letter from Jim Brath-
owed to Ernest Adams will be of inter
est to our readers
France, Nov. II, 1918.
Dear Friend Ernie:-
Well we are happy bunch now.
Every one rejoicing and only waiting
for the chance to get back to the good
old u. S. A. don't expect to leave for
home for some time yet as have heard
we must stay and regulate traffic until
the troops are gone. surely am glad
it is over. You cannot realize what
war is like Ernie until you see it.
saw Clarence Noble in an ambulance
the End day of August but he was near
ly gone SO could not say much. He sure
ly was good fellow. His boys in his
platoon would go through hell and fire
for him. Ed Tallire was reported Sc
verely wounded but hope he is well by
this time.
The bunch that left Wabeno is scat
tered all over France. The ones that
are left have not seen any one of
them for over three months. The last
ones saw were Harry Nc Graw. and
Geo. Huettl. They were fortunate
enough to be together. The Lusier
boys I saw about four months ago and
they were alright then. Sehwerke,
Iwen and Dutch saw a long time
ago and they must be o. X. as they are
in the S o. 8. The rest l have not
seen since came to France. The old
Divisions are mostly drafts now. The
old timers are gone or else in the hos
pitfalls. Occasionally we see an Amer
ican girl, Nurse or Red Cross worker
and she draws larger crowd than any
big show shey have in France. We did
not appreciate the American girl while
at home but they don't make them any
better.
1t is getting kind of cold here now
but we have bright sunshiny days and
no snow yet but plenty Of rain.
At present have men with me in
town where no troops are stationed
and we have pretty good time but of
course we are anxious to get home.
Well Ernie I understand they are GO
ing to lift the censor so I'll write you
long letter next time. Give my re-
CARDS 70 all. Your friend,
Jim Brathoved.

AS civilization has changed the livse
of men it has injured their teeth and
increased their diseases. Soft foods,
rapid eating, the fiendish American
quick lunch all these should be counter
acted. See the Dentist regularly and
often; take the children beginning with
the first teeth and get acquainted. The
more regular and oftener you go to a
good dentist the less work will be done
and the less your teeth will have cost
you at the end of life.

Weeghman is an Optimist
He doesn't want any galivantins
around after trouble and he isn't a
bit timid about spending big money
to bolster business regardless Of
how dark the outlook may be.
While other major league mag
mates were deploring the brunette
complexion Of 1918 prospects,
weeghman did a little gum-shoeins
for playing talent with which 10 put
the Cubs in the pennanJ race. He
spent money like a sailor celebrat-
ing shore leave, while his brother
mass stood around gaping.
Result-Charley Weeghman has
surrounded Fred Mitchell with
some baseball talent which may
land a National league pennant for
Chicago's northsiders.
If the Cubs are lucky they viii
be able to hold Grover Alexander
throughout the coming season. And
if they succeed the big right hand r
will be good for % to so victories,
unless he suffers the worst reverse
seen in the big show for some sea-
sons
Alex alone could not win a pen
nant for Chicago, but he can do 4
big bit, and with Tyler added 20 the
pitching staff ard Bill Killifer in the
harness to handle the slants of the
pitchers. the sharpshooting staff IF
the Cubs will not have to bow to
any in the big league.
When Fred Mitchell landed Dode

he can show something in the way

man and Lear represent the infieId
strength of the Bruins. II is said
that Deal will be groomed for frst
base if Merkle fails to hang on. and
Pete Kilduff is practically certain
to hold down second, providing. Of
course, that Charley Hollacher
comes through at short. Lear. who
IS called a second Heinie Zim. is the
gamble for the third basing job. So
with Workman, Zeider, Deal and

have to show some steam.
In addition TO the new battery
stars secured by the Cubs Mitchell
has Vaughn, Douglas. Hendryx.
Weaver. Carter, Aldridge and Walk

Elliott and O'FarreIl to fight il out
for the second-string catching job.
To say the least those Cubs look
mighty good. They look TO be n
sure one-two-three club right now.
and aside from the Giants they are
the strongest club in the league on
paper.
