BEEF ALLOWANCE CUT
UNTIL SEPTEMBER Is

Orono. Maine, June 2l,-To meet
the needs of the American and allied
armies and the civilian populations
! of France, Great Britain and Italy,
! the American people have been asked
! by the Food Administration to place
themselves on a limited beef allow
ance from now until next Septem
! Der 18th.
| Householders are requested to not
under any circumstances" buy more
than one and one-quarter pounds of
clear beef weekly, OF one and one
half pounds, including the bone, tor
each person in the household.
Hotels and public eating places
are instructed not to serve boiled
beef more than two meals weekly,
beefsteak more than one meal week
ly and roast beef more than one meal
weekly.
The demands for beef for our
army. the armies of the Allies and
their civilian populations for this
summer" said the Food Administra-
ton announcement, arc beyond our
present surplus. On the other hand,
we have enough increased supply Of
pork this summer to permit economi-
cal expansion in its Use. 1t, however
will be a direct service to our Armies
and the allies, if our people will in
some degree substitute fresh pork.
bacon, ham and sausage for beef
products.
! The public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping. and. therefore,
of the markets available to the Al
| lies. and the increasing dcma lds Of
! our growing army with the fluctuat-
ing supply Of local beef in France, all
make it impossible to determine
policies for long period in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
in all meat consumption; we wish to
emphasize further reduction of beef
by the substitution of pork 1t is
anticipated that this program will
hold good until September Is. and
/ the cooperation of the public IS most
earnestly requested"

Service Flag at Mount Zion.

There was a beautiful and i'm
pressive patriotic service at Mount
Zion Sunday night when the church
erected a service flag in honor OF
our boys who have gone to answer
their country's call.
The service, which was conducted
by the pastor, Rev. G. It. Sellars,
was opened by singing volunteers, F"
followed by Onward Christian Sol
diers." Rev. SellGrs then led in an
earnest prayer, after which "The
Star Spangled Banner" was sung.
Mr.. T. H. McMurry presented to
the church in words beautiful and
fitting the service flag, bearing ten
stars, representing the ten boys
whose names are Carr and Brevard
Crenshaw, Ardell and Acc Hale, Pete
and Ed Roberts, Elmer Kelly, Will
Jonakin, Wilton Bloodworth and
Billy George. The flag was received
by Rev. Sellars, who, after appro-
pirate. remarks, attached the flag to
fro where it could be viewed by
the large ience as they stood and
sang "America.A
After the scril ure lesson Brother
and Mrs. Sellars sang "Over the
Top" which was greatly appreciated.
Rev. H. A. Butts, of Barlow, KY,
the former pastor, and having known
ell the boys personally, was given
the honor of preaching the sermon,
which was full of patriotism and in
spiration. He spoke of the Joy of
being an American citizen, and then
of the duties resting upon each of
us; urging that we stand behind
our boys with our prayers, service
and money. Turning to the flag he
spoke very tendcrly of our boys and
then addressed words of sympathy
and cheer to their parents who were
occupying the front soats.
In conclusion he read a splendid
letter he had received recently from
Carr Crenshaw. Brother Sellars
then read a fine letter from Billy
George, written in answer to let
ter signed by the members of the
church, a copy of which had been
sent to each Of the boys. He said
that he would have been on the
Tuscania had he not had mumps at
that time.
While singing "The Battle Hymn"
the, audience shook hands with
Brother Butts in appreciation of his
splendid sermon, after which was the
benediction by Brother Butts.

WATER GLASS.
Solution Recommended for the Stor-
ing of Eggs.

Directions: Select clean fresh
eggs. Do not wash eggs; it injpres
them. Heat to the boiling point and
cool nine quarts of water, to this
add one quart water glass and mix
thoroly. This is sufficient to pre-
serve about twelve dozen eggs. Place
eggs in a crock, jar or pail, small
ends down. Pour over them the
solution, ke ping at least two inches
of the solution above the top layer
of eggs at all times. Put on the
cover and keep all in cool place
until required for use.
Note: When eggs taken from the
solution are to be boiled, prick the
shells at the large end just before
boiling to prevent cracking. Fresh
eggs may be saved 6 to 10 months
by this method.
