FOR EATING PLACES
Effective October 21stThrough.
out State General Saving OF
All Staple Foods Required

A new program governing tho serv.
ice Of all hotels, restaurants and pub
lie eating places will be put into sffec-
tive force on October 81, 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 Ad'
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 inc
coming year. There will be no meat
less not wheatless days nor meals
prescribed, but a general plan OF saw
ing on all staple articles Of food II
sought to be made effective. With no
hardships nor discomforts these rega-
lations can easily be carried out sue
cessfully, and a saving Of millions OF
tons Of food for our soldiers and our
Allies will be the direct result. A
patriotic appeal Is made for voluntary
saving and every person is asked TO
become his own food controller fof
the period Of the war.
II has not been deemed advisable or
necessary at the present time actu'
ally to license the operation OF sucn
public earthquakes, but In cases
where the patriotic cooperation OF
such public earthquakes cannot DO
secured by other means, the food al
ministration will not hesitate to Sc
cure compliance with its orders

of sugar, -four and other food supplies.
