GIVES
 WHEAT TO MEN
 NOT TO CATTLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July D. All of the European belligerents have found it necessary to ration bread except Great Britain. In an swer to hundreds of inquiries as to why England rations sugar, beef, butter and other essentials except bread, the United States food ad- minsitration today issued the follow ing statement:
 Great Britain suffers now from a serious shortage of cereals as do all other countries at war, but she pre- fers to solve her bread problem in another way. When the consump- tion of bread is limited by law the main food of the poorer classes is curtailed. The wealthier classes can supplement their bread ration with other foods, but when the supply of bread to the poor is limited they must go hungry, since they lack the means of purchasing expensive ar ticles of diet.
 "The British ministry of food be- lieves it more profitable. instead of rationing bread, to limit the use of cereals for the feeding of domestic animals, thus increasing the supply available for human food.
 "The new British bread order of 1918, effective June l, continues the prohibition against selling bread less than 12 hours old, except when delivery is made to a sea-going yes sel. Bread can only be made in three shapes, and weights are regu- lated by law. No bread can be made or sold which contains any fruit, dried or otherwise; any eggs or egg product; any butter, margarine or other fat except that used for greas- ing pans; any sugar, molasses or syrups, or any milk or milk product than butter milk.

LARGE AMOUNT
 IS NOW IN FUND

The final donation for tine month of July came in yesterday to the orphan fund, bringing the amount for the month nearly up to the $900 mark.
 The drive last month passed all expectations, starting out rather weak but finishing strong. The first part of the month it looked as if not over $2OO would be raised dur ing the entire month. From several sources unexpected large amounts were sent in, making July the larg est month in the history of the drive locally as far as personal donations are concerned. There have been larger months, but not from the in dividuals themselves, which makes the results more gratifying to those having it in charge. The standing of the fund is as follows: Previously acknowledged .... .$889.O( Frank and Eugene Beraud =. COG

CALIFORNIA IS
 EX0NERATED BY ADMINISTRATION

SAN FRANCISCO, Ca., July D. California housewives have been giv- en clean bill of health in their observance of the sugar reguations governing the purchase of sugar for canning and preserving, it was an nounced by the United States food administration for California.
 Inspectors who were sent out by the food administration in answer to complaints that many persons were seeking to evade the rules by pur- chasing sugar ostensibly for canning and then diverting it to other uses, reported that dozens of homes were visited and only one case of fraudu- lent use of the sugar discovered.
 In view of the urgent necessity for strict conservation of sugar, how ever, the inspectors will continue to check up the certificates on which sugar is purchased from the grocer for canning or preserving. These are signed by the housewife who should be prepared to show the actual goods in can or jar to the equivalent of the sugar.
 Because of the larger quantities of sugar necessary to make preserves and jellies, the food administration urges that fruits be canned rather than preserved this season.
