MUST MAKE THE
 LIBERTY BREAD
 BEFORE SUNDAY

There are still some makers in the state who are not yet making Victory bread, which contains at least 20 per cent. of substitutes and they have only until next Sunday to get into line or get out of business, under the ruling of the United States food ad- ministration. What the Connecticut bakers must begin to observe imme- diately. however, under penalty of losing their bakers licenses, are the regulations concerning the sales of flour and sugar by these licensed bakers.
 Through it's legal department, the Connecticut office of the United States food administration, has issued these special rules for bakers:
 No baker, the total volume of whose business amounts annually to $100,0O0 or more, may sell flour or sugar unless he shall first secure li- cense from the United States food ad- ministration, authorizing him to deal in these retail commodities.
 No baker, whatever the volume. of his business, may sell flour, in any amount. unless he shall at the same time, to the same person and as part of the same transaction, sell an equal amount of one or more of the approv- ed wheat substitutes.
 No baker shall buy, during any period, a quantity of flour in excess of 70 per cent. of the quantity he used during the corresponding period of 1917 and he shall limit his sales of wheat flour in the same percentage.
 Not more than a quarter of barrel 491a pounds) of wheat flour shall be sold at any one time to consumers liv- ing in cities or other centers of popu. lation and not more than half a barrel (98 pounds) at any one time to con- sumers residing in rural districts. At the food administration office, yesterday, it was made clear that the bakers license held by a Hcensee is l to control his making of bread and rolls and will not suffice for doing a retail sales business. Likewise, such 1 bakers, if they are to do a retail flour business must buy from wholesalers and jobbers one pound of wheat sub stitutes with every pound of wheat which they intend to offer for sale. Tn a general way, the food administra- tion intimated that it did not approve l of bakers doing any business but l their regular baking.

opinion of the food administration, has had too much flour under condi- tions that have existed. Most of it was in half barrel sacks. The food administration cited the grocer to a hearing, charging him with selling flour without substitutes; with selling too much to individual customers; and with charging as high as $14 a barrel. Trachtengot asked the national food administration for a wholesale license This was refused and Food Admins trator Scovill having found Trachte0- got guilty of the charges, ordered him to sell the flour before March '. He must sell to either a wholesaler or bakers and having no. wholesale r. cense, he cannot continue in business after that date as a dealer in food stuffs.

ARMY SURGEON IS
AN UNSUNG HERO
Shows Bravery in Unpleasant
Tasks and Without Roman
tic Stimulus.

One of the unsung heroes Of the war
is the military surgeon. No man has
been harder worked In the tremendous
fighting of the last few weeks, and his
work has been in most cases far from,
pleasant.
There is not the same romantic
stimulus for the medical man that
there is for the infantry or artillery
officer. 1t Is one thing to dash about
under fire intent on killing or being
killed: 1t is another thing to dash
about under fire and take the same
risks while calmly attending TO these
with wounds from which all other men
as they pass avert their heads. "Thank
God, I am not a DOCTOR" said an officer
who had been detailed to inspect a
number of improvised casualty clear
ing stations along the front dur'ng u
recent attack.
The %regimental surgeon In the Brit
ish army has In his charge the we'll
being of more than 1000 men. When
there is no fighting on, he has plenty
10 do. He has to strike a happy me-
dunn In di~scouraging the faint-heart-
ed, who come up to him as a means
Of obtaining a f~ortnight's rest. and in
holding out a helping hand to those
who are In real distress. II he Is too
l%enient, the commanding officer begins
to ask whether he intends to deplete
the whole regiment ; If he is too harsh
the junior officers and men lose pa
tience.
The doctor doesn't ride, but "foot
slogs" It with his regiment through
the same mud, the same wind ant
rain. and the same perils. His dutie
are not confined to caring for the II
and injured. He must supervise tn
sanitation of camps and billets, insur'
the purity of drinking water. keep
lookout for outbreaks and epidemics
maintain a continuous campaign of In
EQUATIONS and vaccinations, and al
out a long series of records and army
forms. He has to do his utmost IN
the light Of his special knowledge to
maintain the health OF his unit, and
any remissness on his part may lead
to a serious diminution in its strength.
In billets he has the added duty OF
playing the role-of medical attendant
to the villagers, as all the French doc
tors In the country districts have gone.
