airy Gath being not less than twenty.
This bread, known as Victory bread,
may be baked every day in the week.
''F0r Hotels, Restaurant and
Boarding Houses-Hotels, restau-
rants, boarding houses and individ-
uals, using bakers bread exclusively,
may use Victory bread for breakfast
and dinner and every day in the
week. Supper should be a wheatless
meal each day, no bread or other
food containing wheat, except for
binders, should be used. 1t is recon-
mended, however, that hotels, res
taurants and boarding houses, for
breakfast and dinner, on Monday and
Wednesday, use breads containing
no wheat flour.
"For Observation-Disclosures
baking their own bread should OBJ
serve supper every day as a wheat
less meal and Monday and Wednes
day as wheatless days, limiting the
use of wheat on these days to that
used in grvaies and for binder in

etteville, for alleged violations OF the
food regulations as cotton seed deal
ers.
This is the heaviest money penalty
that has so far been imposed by the
Federal Food Administration in Ten
nessee. The firm of Strong, Bagley &
Bagley, largely through inadvertence
and ignorance, admitted that they had
violated the food regulations and from
the first manifested fine spirit. Ad-
hitting their violation of the rules OF
the Food Administration, they readily
agreed to be penalized to the extent Of
o $500 Liberty Bond to be given to
the Red Cross. The bond was received
by Charles c. Traube, state legal rep
resentative, who looked after the inter
ests Of the Food Administration. 1t
was promptly forwarded by DR.. Nor
gan to Chairman Lees Of the Lincoln
CoGnty Red Cross committee. DR..
Morgan took the position that Lincoln
County should be entitled to credit for
the same.
The penslized firm wrote TO DR.. Nor
gan splendid letter admitting the JUS
tice of the settlement, expressing ap-
probation of the attitude Of the Food
Administration and rendering fits ser

ministration. Speaking Of the case
