SAVING OF WHEAT
is IMPERATIVE

Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 21.-Unless ev-
cry village, city and person in Mis-
souri, and every other State practices
strict economy for the next three
months our soldiers in France and our
associates in the war will suffer for
the want of wheat. This is the mes
sage of +. B. Mumford, federal food
administrator for Missouri, on his re-
turn from Washington, where he at
tended a meeting of federal food adj
ministrators.
perhaps the gravest problem fac
ing the Food Administrator now is
that of the wheat shortage" said
Dean Mumford. AT the present rate
we are using wheat in this country
we will have an overdraft on our sup
ply of from 100000 to 100000 900
bushels by March /, 1913. So it is
imperative that we consume less white
bread and other wheat products. We
must continue to save and observe re-
ligiously one absolutely wheatless day
week."

at all times are measures the Food
Administration is considering to re-
duce consumption. Further restric-
ton in the use of wheat by bakers in
making bread may be required also.
The food administration is consider
ing limiting the bakers to eighty per
cent wheat flour and requiring the use
Of 20 per cent of other cereals. Con-
sumers may be compelled to buy a
pound of other cereals with every
pound of wheat flour.
at is better to conserve wheat now
than to be denied wheat flour entirely
later on when our supply is exhaust
ed. Much wheat has been saved by
the observance of wheatless days and
wheatless meals. But we must in
crease our efforts to save. Many per-
sons are not yet sufficiently alive to
the Importance of eating less wheat
bread. Everyone should make it his
personal duty to cut down on his con-
sumption of wheat"

SNYDER

The National Association of Credit
Men is about to begin campaign
against illegal trade practices that are
nourishing in the United States, and
which, according to statement issued
by the organization yesterday, are re-
sponsiblc in great part for the high
cost Of materials.
For some time now" said +. Brown
Snyder, chairman Of the committee that
is starting the movement. Legitimate
tradesmen have been suffering from
the depredations of crooked dealers,
whose fraudulent behavior has forced
their honest competitors to raise
prices"
"The crooked dealer" Mr. Snyder
said, finds it particularly attractive to
obtain goods on credit, for which he
never intends TO settle. He finds no
difficulty in disposing Of the goods at
less than market value This means
that not only does the man .who sells
his goods to the dishonest dealer lose
his wares, but the honest merchant who
is competing with the rogue is at a

The 100000 credit men throughout
the country have been asked to report
all such cases to the investigation anC

"The journal Of Industrial and En-

fifth Street.
Advance proofs of this article Gre
ated sensation at the club yesterday.
officials Of the organization indignant
~ denied the charge that alien enemy
Germans are members of the club.
They asserted that the club would
start an investigation to find out who
wrote the article and would hold the
writer accountable for it.
DR.. c. H. Herty Is Editor
"Anv article that implies that alien
enemies are members OF the Chemists
Club is false said one official yester-
dav. "The executive committee would
have expelled any enemy aliens long
ago. The writer of the article will be
called upon either to prove or retract
his charges. To my knowledge no
enemy aliens are members Of the club,
but if the writer of that article can
prove that there are the club would
feel indebted fo- such information and
whose AmericaAism was not 100 per
cent"
The journal is an organ of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society, national or
eanization OF chemis 5. Its editor is
Dr. Charles H. Hertz, who was out Of
town yesterday.
Article Which Caused Protests
The article in the chemists periodi-
cal is headed, "The Parting of the
Ways" It follows. in part:
1T is natural that the club should
number among its members many Ger
man chemists,> for such have consti-
tuted an important group among the
working chemists in America.
''Wthin the walls of the club build
ing there row frequently gather chem
lists enlisted in the military branch of
the government. No restraint could
be placed upon their intercourse by
the presence Of alien enemies. In the
rooms Of the club many important
committees meet. Should watchful
eye be needed in an American club? In
the library works of reference need to
be consulted. Should this room be q
common meeting ground for Americans
and Germans?
The trustees should make the club
an American institution throughout.
To DO this would require dropping from
its membership list every alien enemy
and sympathizer, and Diminishing from
its service any employee whose allie
glance lies with those with whom we
are Al war.

OF alien enemies would not cure the
evil because Of the possible presence
Of naturalized citizens who masquerade
behind their naturalization papers, our
only reply is-hunt these down with
every energy the country furnishes
and with all celebrity forbid them the

institution, make it truly SUCH"
