increased demands for breadstuffs, these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage in arri- vals from the Argentine. It is, there- fore, necessary for the food adminis- tration to urge still further reduc- tien in the consumption of bread and breadstuffs generally. if we are to meet our export necessities.
 Experience shows tht the con- sumption of breadstuffs is intimately associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our sup plies of meat for the next two or three months are considerably enlarged and we can supply the allies with all of of the meat products. which transpor- tation facilities render possible and at the same time somewhat increase our own consumption. In these circsnm stances. the food administration con- siders it wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat consumption to some extent with view to further de- creasing bread consumption.
 50 long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beefiess and porkless Tuesday
 "The meatless meal and the pork ] less Saturday are no longer asked. :
