FOR EATING PLACES
Effective October 2istThrough-
out State General Saving OF
All Staple Foods Required

A new program governing the serv-
ice of all hotels, restaurants and pub
lie eating places viii be put into effec-
tive force on October Al, which will
affect, but not Inconvenience nor dis
comfort, about 100000 people of this
State who are regular or occasional
patrons OF these places, according TO
the estimate OF the hotel and restau-
rant division of the Federal Food Adj
ministration for West Virginia.
The new food regulations are made
necessary TO carry out the American
promise to our Allies to furnish them
with 1900. 900 tons Of food during the
coming year There will be no meat
less not wheatless days nor meals
ing on all staple articles Of food IL
sought to be made effective. With no
hardships nor discomforts these regu-
lAtions can easily be carried out suo
ssssfully, and saving of millions OF
tons OF food tor our soldiers and our
Allies Will be the direct result. A
patriotic appeal IL made for voluntary
saving and every person IL asked to-
become his own food controller for
tAs period Of the war.
II has not been deemed advisable or
necessary at the present time acru-
ally to license the operation Of such
public eating places, but In cases
whore the patriotic cooperation of
such public earthquakes cannot be
secured by other means, the food ad
ministration will not hesitate to So
cure compliance with its orders
through its control OF the distribution
Of sugar, -four and other food supplies.
A failure to conform to any OF the
following orders will be regarded as
a wasteful practice forbidden by Sec
ton 4 of the Food Control act of
