SPECIFIC APPEAL TO BA KERS, HOTEL AND
 RESTAURANT KEEPERS TO OBEY RULES

ance of utilizing every morsel of food
 stuff in the most effective manner and
 the cutting down of every waste of
 food materials, no matter how small the waste may seem For this reason
 the government has entered upon the licensing of the bakers and other bread manufacturers
 Mr Hoover, the United States Food Administrator, has tersely said:
 "The Food Administration is called into being to stabilize and not to dis turb conditions It has been devised
 to correct the abnormalities and abuse that have crept into trade by reason of the world disturbances and to re- store business as far as may be to a
 reasonable basis
 i Loyal and patriotic business men , everywhere in this country are con- 1 forming to the new conditions and as sisting the United States Food Admin istration to carry out it's purposes and
 aims and each is thus contributing his share to the success of the United
 States and it's associates in this war. Henry Stude, President of the Nat ! lional Association of Bakers, after the 1 session of the war emergency council
 of the baking industry recently held at Washington, sent the following tele-
 gram to all members of the Associa- | tion:
 With reference to prices, the coun- cir calls attention to the various recom- mendations in the United States Food Administration report suggesting 1 reduction in prices, with Government control of raw materials used by the 1 baker, and a reduction in operating expenses There should, wherever possible, be an immediate reduction in 1 price to the retailer.
 The United States Food Administra- tion has ruled that Mining companies using ten barrels of flour or more
 monthly are subject to the bakers li-
 cense.
 | The Federal Food Administrator for | Alaska feels confident that though seemingly far removed from the scenes | of war, Alaskans will not be less loy-
 al and patriotic in cooperating with the Government in it's efforts to con- serve the food supply of the world that our associates and ourselves may not go hungry.
 Yours truly, ROYAL A. GUNNISON Federal Food Administrator for Alaska
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-01-23

On the assumption that attention has not been directed to it, I respect fully call to your notice the Procla- mation of the President of the United States, dated No :, 1917, announcing that
 "All persons, firms, corporations and associations who manufacture for sale bread in any form, cakes, crackers biscuits, pastry, or other bakery pro ducts (excepting, however those whose consumption of any flour and meal in the manufacture of such products is in the aggregate less than 10 barrels a month). are hereby required to pro- cure a license on or before December 10. 1917. This included hotels, restau- rants, other public eating places, and clubs who serve bread or other bakery products of their own baking"
 The proclamation has also been con strued by the United States Food Ad- ministration to cover mining compan-
  sares.
 If you have not already done so, 1 would suggest that you apply at once direct to the United States Food Ad- ministration, Legal Department, Lie ensing Division, Washington, D. C., for blanks on which to make applica- ton for licenses No fees or taxes are 10 be paid or charged in connection with this application for license or on the license itself.
 The proclamation required this ap- plication to have been made and the license obtained on or before Decem- Der 10, 1917. If you already have ob- tained a license, would be pleased if you would advise me thereof, giving me the number of the license issued to you. A return enevlope is enclosed herewith for your reply to me. There is also nclosed for your information and government a copy of the Rules and Regulations Governing Licensees Manufacturing Bakery Products"
 This proclamation of the President and the Rules and Regulations are made as the result of extensive inves- tigations by the Federal Trade Com mission. the United States Food Ad- ministration and the Department of Agriculture.
 In these days when every well-in- formed person realizes the grave food situation confronting this Government and it's associates in the conflict now being waged in Europe, it is probably unnecessary to point out the import

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.-The Italian government has begun the new year by taking one Of the most import ant steps in the social reform move ment in that country, according to official dispatches from Rome, by granting full power to requisition and distribute among the people all avail able land that may be utilized for 2 riculture.
 Tools and implements will be sup piled to peasants among whom the land is distributed by the government.

 Actually the dime is worth just a little more than the French 50 cen time piece. and it looks about the same. Both are worth slightly less than the English s pence, which gets by oc- casionally as half franc

LEIPSIG PRESS HEIRS AT AMERICAN TOY
 SOLDIERS
Says America is About to Offer Blood Tribute to God of War
 For Gun Fodder

ROME, Jan. The Leipsic Mach richten.", copy Of which was recent ly received here prints the following sarcastic comment in regard to the entrance Of the United States in the war:
 The phantom Of American help has now been dragged for some months through The English and French press. The big brother on the other side of the ocean is now they say. about to offer his blood tribute-that is 10 say, he is 10 supply. not guns, as before. but gun fodder.
 The jingo press gloats at the idea Of course. Those papers are daily perpetrating grea- feats of heroism with the pen and shedding torrents Of black ink in the hope that the hund- reds Of thousands who have 8 nobler fluid 10 shed will not be awaited in vain There are voices, however, in the land Of unlimited possibilities which do not cry our quite so wildly for risking the fresh baked American army against the German machine guns
 Paper is very patient, and on it a few million men may easily be made 10 march. but thereby the Germans will not be beaten. What is the good Of counting on ten millions of possible soldiers among the population of the United States when it will take months and months even to prepare a mere fraction Of them for the front?
 Under the most favorable conditions the spring Of next year will be here even few regiments Of Uncle Sam s toy soldiers can be placed in the trenches"

war spirit, but this is the time when 1
must cast that aside and do my part
for the cause.
II was sure proud of my family when

the spirit that boy should be sent
away with, and it sure made me feel
good.
III am very fortunate in being with,

fellows. l enjoyed my stay at Camp
Lewis, WASH, very much, also the trip
from coast to coast, which was very in
teresting. Everywhere we were greet
ed by the Red Cross and given every
attention. The Red Cross and Y. M.

This will be my last letter to you
from this side for the time being, al
least, so 1 will say goodbye to you, my

cerely hope TO get back safe and sound
some day, but if things should be other
wise l am willing, as those have been
in the past.
