EXCEPTIONS GIVEN TO
EATING PLACE ORDERS

In answer to many inquiries con-
corning the new regulations for eating
places, the Food Administration has
deemed it necessary to explain several
exceptions to the rules.
Sandwiches are excepted from the
restriction in Order l on the amount of
bread that may be served because so
many people, particularly patrons of
lunch counters make one daily meal
entirely of sandwiches, and a substi-
tute is difficult to find.
Poached eggs or Clipped beef on
toast are not forbidden by Order II,
but garnishing with toast.
Ham and eggs or bacon and eggs
are permitted by Order " but not two
kinds of meat.
Any difficulty in finding way Of
disposing of waste to hog breeders or
garbage reduction plants should be re-
ported to the Food Administration.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1918-11-07


commonly supposed to be the charac-
teristics of egg type. Large size and
an indOlent temperament are supposed
to be characteristics of the meat type,
and medium size without either
marked energy or great Incidence are
supposed to be the characteristics of
the mediocre dual-purpOSe type. While
this, in a general way, is true, there
are exceptions, as can be noted in the
accompanying tables. These tables
show that egg production and meat
production are not entirely a simple
matter of size, weight and tempera-
ment. Table No. l is a list Of we'll
known standard breeds grouped ac-
cording to their general type. Table
No. 2 is list Of the same breeds ar
ranged in the order Of their weight,
beginning with the smallest.
There is a wide range Of individual
differences among the standard breeds,
some strains of a particular breed
being better suited for egg production
than meat, and vice versa.
Good physical development, vitality,
constitutional vigor, good digestive
system, docility and ruggedness and
stability Of function in the reproduc-
tive organs are the distinguishing
characters and traits of dependable
good layers.
The existence of all these, however,
is not enough to insure good laying.
There must, of course, be reasonably
good management, even if the keeper
has not special skill. But if with these
qualities which make for continual lay
ing there exists tendency to put on
fat whenever laying is interrupted,
only unremitting skiflful management
to keep hen in good laying condi-
ton will make her a first-class egg
producer.
The egg type or laying type Of hen,
in any breed, is the hen that with the
qualities that make for good egg pro-
duction has no quality which is an
obstacle to CONTINUAL laying. The
meat type is not the converse of the
egg type, even though the hen that
is not good layer is fit only for meat.
Meat Type Grows Rapidly.
The meat type, in all kinds Of poul-
try, is the type that grows rapidly and
at maturity carries abundant flesh,
especially where the preferred parts Of
the meat are produced. The most de-
sirable meat type is rather fine in
bone, with the frame we'll knit but
not too compact. Under any kind of
good management hen Of this type
that is in normal condition will be a
good layer. She may not lay any bet
ter than hen not quite so well
fleshed, but she ought to lay just as
well, and when the time comes to
make meat of her she makes more and
better meat, and as a breeder she nat
urally tends to reproduce offspring
that will make more and better meat

SkiIIfuI Use OF Stock Supplemented

More Meat and Eggs-TabIe
of Standard Weights.

In wartime economy and efficiency
are the keynotes of poultry produc-
ton. The poultry keeper must save
feed and at the same time increase
poultry production. 1t is not the high
cost of feed alone, since America en-
tered the war, that has led to more
careful attention to the routine work
of keeping poultry and to greater pro-
duction and skill in feeding. The
saving Of money has been an incentive,
but above and beyond that every poul-
try keeper realizes that getting better
production from less feed is doing
double duty in conservation and pro
ductiOn.
The first result Of the wartime con-
ditiOns was to emphasize afresh and
more effectively than ever the bene-
fits of graded selection of breeding
stock and severe culling of the young
stock while growing. When this is
practiced together with good poultry
management the feed bill is reduced
but the production of eggs is main
tanned and even increased in some
cases.

FARMERS TO SIGN
MILL FEED PLEDGES

Every farmer who obtains supply
of mill feed must sign a pledge that
he will not use them for any other
purpose than the feeding of dairy cat
tie, poultry, young pigs or calves or
the preparation Of a weekly bran mash
for work animals, and that they will
not have more than a 60 days supply
on hand.
Notices are being sent this week to
all mills in the state by the Food Ad-
ministration asking them to have
these pledges printed on one side of
pamphlet and an address by Hoover
on the necessity of conserving wheat
mill feeds on the other.
The signed pledges must be kept on
file by the mills SO that they will be
available to inspectors.

ALL CHURCHES TO
CELEBRATE UNITED
WAR WORK SUNDAY
DENOMINATIONS OF ALL CREEDS
TO DEVOTE SERVICES TO
GREAT WAR TASK.
WILL OBSERVE DAY NOV. 10

Local churches, together with those
in every section of Wisconsin, will
celebrate United War Work Sunday
with appropriate services Sunday, Nov.
10, according to announced plans.
That day has been designated as a
Sabbath set apart for demonstrating to
the enlisted men in the service of the
United States that the churches are
solidly back of them and eager to as
sist them in every way.
Every clergyman in the state, Prot
estant ministers, Catholic priests and
Jewish rabbis, have been asked to de
vote all services on that day to the
United War Work Campaign which
will be waged Nov. 11-18 for funds to
carry on the work Of the seven war
welfare agencies merged in the drive,

ing the K. of c., Jewish Welfare
Board, War Camp Community Service.

Salvation Army.
Blend All Creeds.
Since all creeds and sects have
blended into a harmonious unit for the
success of the allied nations through
the merged campaign, it is very fitting
that each church in the state, ire
spective of the various beliefs, should
join in observing this day as United
War Work Sunday.
Sermons on that day will be based
on the herculean tasks of the seven
organizations that have joined in keep
ing UP the morale of the allied armies
and of the spirit of unity with which
the various organizations are ANAL
gamated in this notable effort-to
serve the enlisted men and women in
war work.
Youth to Take Part.
Sunday school exercises and Young
Peoples meetings will also be largely
dominated by discussions and talks
concerning the United War Work
Campaign The part that the boys and
girls can take in it through the "Vic
tory Boys" and "Victory Girls" cam
paign will be especially emphasized in
the young peoples meetings. a
Even clergymen of war chest COM
munities will tell their pensioners Of
the work Of these seven war welfare
organizations, giving them information
just what the money they have already
subscribed is doing for the boys in the
service Of the allied armies

If the producers Of eggs and poultry
for the table are doing their utmost to
increase production Of meat and eggs,
the easiest, shortest and surest way is
through general use of the most pro-
ductive types, that is, by the use on
the part of every poultry keeper Of
the most productive types of his stock.
1t is not meant that there should be
wholesale replacement of ordinary
stock by stock or strains celebrated
for extreme high production. In some
cases this may be done to advantage,
but with the majority Of poultry keep
erS immediate gain in production must
be made by good use Of such stock as
they have.
Get Understanding of Type.
The first step toward the increase of
poultry products-whether meat or
eggs-through the use of the types best
suited to production, is to get cor
rect understanding Of type. Three dis
tinct types are recogniZed-the egg
type, the meat type and the dual pur
pose or general purpose type, which is
commonly considered as an inter
mediate of the other two, though in
reality it is the primary type of which
the others are notifications.

WAR CAMPAIGN.
S3,9O0,O0O TO BE SECURED

Madison, Wis.-Marshalling it's for
ces in true military array, Wisconsin's
citizen army is preparing for an
other smashing drive against the war
lords of Germany. A barrage of dol
lars, fired by the zeal and patriotism
of the entire state, will be directed
against the enemy, Nov. 11-18, when
the United War Work Campaign is
formally launched, as this states
unconditional surrender" answer.
A $3,39O,OOO punch will be handed
the kaiser as Wisconsin's part in the
drive to back up the enlisted men of
Uncle Sans great war juggernaut.
With Germany desperately angling for
peace, nothing less than complete sur
render will satisfy Wisconsin, and
with that in view, expectations
are that this state will far surpass it's
quota in the United War Work Cam
paign, which will be undertaken in a
consolidated drive by the Army Y. M.
G. A, the Y. w. G. A., National Cath
Ollie War Council and the X. of c.,
Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Service American Libra
ry Association and the Salvation

Uphold Morale.
1t has been the primary function of
these seven great war work agencies
to represent the American home,
church, theatre, gymnasium, library,
and club in France. The influence of
these institutions will be needed in an
ever greater degree from now on, in
the opinion of State Chairman Emer-
son Ella.
CAS- a thanksgiving for the promise
of victory, let us make Wisconsin's
part in the United War Work Cam
paign the greatest success of any
campaign of it's kind. 1t is up to us to
stand by until the last man is landed
safe home again. By putting the Unit
ed War Work Campaign over the top
we can do it."
People Back Campaign.
Despite the influenza epidemic
which has gripped the state, thereby
preventing meetings of various kinds,
the task of lining up the forces of Wis
consin for the coming drive next
month has been attended by crafty
ing success. From every section comes
the echo Of the campaign slogan:
"Do 1t In a Day."
Unless all signs fail, Wisconsin will
attain it's minimum quota Of $780,
900 on the first day of the campaign.
The national goal is $170,500,O00. It
is hoped that Wisconsin will largely
oversubscribe by reason of the fact
that the original quota authorized by
President Wilson is largely made up
from budgets of expenditure compiled
last spring. These budgets were ar
ranged before the second draft or the
greatly enlarged war plans now in
progress.
No Stacking Now.
State Chairman Ella and Chief Jus.
tice J. B. Winslow, both of whom head
the campaign in Wisconsin, emphasize
the great needs of the seven organiza-
tons merged in the drive and urge the
people of the state to give to their
fullest.
The two campaign leaders here
point out that the 100000 men who
are slated to be sent across, will
greatly tax the resources Of the united
efforts of the combined agencies rep
resented in the United War Work
Campaign.
Ella, eve are aiming to far exceed our
quota. Just because the goal Is In
sight there must be no stacking in eff

Such hens are in reality Of the dual
purpose type, no matter what their
size or breed. They are equally valu-
able for eggs and meat. That is the
kind of stock that will contribute most
to the big increase in poultry that is
wanted. 1t is the dual-purpose type of
every breed-a type that exists in
every breed, and can easily be made
the prevalent type without detriment
to any breed, and to the benefit OF
every breed-that has suffered from
neglect.
