EATING PLACES TO BAR
WHEAT DURING CRISIS

John Nee. Bowman, the New
York hotel leader who is also
chief of the Hotel and Restaurant
Division of the United States
Food Administration, won the
Louisiana caterers just as he did
those in the East and elsewhere.
The establishments he conducts
feed million and a half people
a year. For nearly a month now
he has not served a particle of
wheat in any Of his hotels. He
has pledged himself to continue
this course until the -four crisis
is officially declared at an end.
The idea behind this is to force
the rich to bear most of the bur
den. Five hundred owners Of
hotels patronized by the wealthy
took the wheatless pledge at
Washington. The example has
spread and Louisiana was found
willing as usual to do her share
and even more should the ma
tons need demand.
Following the convention here,
William Allen, manager of the
Hotel and Restaurant Division of
the Louisiana Food Administra-
ton, has issued the new COM
mandments for this state Mon
day and Wednesday are now
real and complete wheatless days.
On these days wheat must not be
served in any form whatsoever.
No break. cakes, crackers, pies,
or pastries containing wheat, 10
wheat cereals or other
wheat products are permitted.
The wheatless days must be OBJ
served to the letter. In his cir
cular he states that the shortage
Of wheat has become the most
serious problem which has yet {
the Food Administra- t
ion. The eating places are de- q
'ended upon to take the lead in g
olving the problem. The homes v
will undoubtedly and heartily v
the example.
The United States Food Ad- is
Illustration has announced its a

rs. also in accord with the -four is
isis. All householders who can to
ltirely eliminate the use of pl

EVER

Every citizen should be deeply i'm
pressed with his obligation to do his
best, whatever his walk in life and
whatever his occupation, assuming it
to be legitimate. Loyalty is just as
important in the furrow or the forest
as it is in the trenches.
In a recent address to the officers
and employees of the railroads, Secre-
tary McAdoo said that "the govern
ment having assumed possession and
control Of the railroads for the period
of the present war with Germany, it
becomes more than ever obligatory
upon every officer and employe to
apply himself with u%nrescrved energy
and unquestioned loyalty to his work"
This is an unfortunate expression,
and, il the idea should be generally
accepted, it world tend to make men in
private employment less appreciaSive
of the Importance Of faithful work.
Railroad employees are under no
greater obligation to apply themselves
now than they were before the gov
ernmen. assumed control. The emer-
gency is no greater now than it was
before. II was and still is every rail-
road employees duty to devote the best
there is in him to the task of moving
traffic as promptly and a speedily
as possible. 1t Is the duty of every
man, in either private or public en-
ployment to make every moment Of
time and every pound Of effort pro-
duce the best results for the strength
of a nation at a time when all that
nations strength is needed for self
preservation

CARDINAL GIBBONS
 APPEAL FOR THRIFT
PrelateS Letter Will Be Read in
 Catholic Churches Sunday

Hartford. Jan. 1S.-An appeal from Cardinal Gibbons for the support of the war savings campaign will be read in every Catholic church of Connec- ticut next Sunday morning. The ap- peal is as folloWS'
 .urhe door of opportunity to serve our country is flung wide open for ora actically every man woman and child by the sale of war savings stamps This is the most impressive thing about the movement which is being undertaken by the National War Savings committee. There can be few people whose circumstances will not permit them to buy at intervals the 25 cent thrift stamp, and with each purchase gain step by step possession of the war savings stamp, for each one of which the credit and reources of the United States are pledged to return $5 for what now costs $4.12
 Such a return being produced by the process of compound interest car ries the lesson of thrift in a prac- tical and convincing way. I earnest iy commend to young and old, and more particularly to parents, this sim pie and easy method of acquiring the habit of thrift. Many sorrows are avoided and much happiness is to be gained by the timely application of the principles of thrift. To the build ing of character it brings profitable acquaintance with self-denial and self reliance. It is @ Valuabl aid to good citizenship and a blessing that once properly grounded is a faithful com paniOn through life.
 We have reached time in our na- tional life when no loyal citizen of this country can afford to spend a dollar for Wasteful luXurieS. SU1n an expenditure resolves itself into a dis loyal act
 ''Welcome indeed. therefore, is the opportunity offered through the sale of these war savings stamps to pro mote the cultivation of thrift and at the same time to serve ones country by lending to it in such small sums the price of the first step-the 25-cent thrift stamp.
 Such is not only a privilege, but it is the clear duty of every Ameri- can citizen, young and old. I urge | upon our clergy and our schools to aid ir every way in promoting thrift i through the purchase of war savings stamps.
 1 For the help it gives to our coun- l trys cause, for the good it will do
 those who take such steps, may this
 movement carry it's patriotic and practical mission to every nook and ! corner of the nation"

HOW TO PAY FOR THE WAR
(Frcm the Boston Advertiser)

(FTCm the Boston AdVert1Ser)
 The high price of coal does yield some good results. In consequence of it the city has adopted, after trial, and is installing, a new coal damper device which is claimed to have eff fected a saving of 30 per cent. in the trials already had. It's permanent in stallatiOn will, it is reported, save the city $250,000 After making due al loWance for the enthusiasm of a new convert, it is apparent that the city is putting some effort into the problem of tho scientific burning of it's coal, which very likely wouldn't have been done except for the high prices and the difficulty of getting the commodity. What is true of the city in the case of coal is true of individuals in this and other comm 1dities. Under the pres sure of scarcity, we are, as a people, learning habits of economy which will prove enduring, and will over a period of q generation save for the commun- i!y much more than the war will cost. Indeed, it wouldn't be @ bad slogan i to bring home to every individual: stop waste ard pay for tie war;

RAILROADS WANT MEN.
Can Use Many Kept From Work b,
 Fuel Order


 New York, Jan. 18.-Foreseeing that the Garfield closing up order in evitably will throw many thousands of men out of work, A. H. Smith, as sistant director general of railroads, directed presidents of roads within his jurisdiction to employ as much of this idle labor as places can be found for. It was one of the first orders sent out by MT Smith yesterday.
 The difficulties are frankly recog- nized. Certain classes of labor are unfit for the heavy work which would be required of them by railroads. Many men would hesitate to take temporary railroads jobs and so run the chance of losing their regular job. But on the whole MT. Smith consid- cred the expedent would be useful.
 The assistant director general in frequent communication with Wash lngtOn was notified by the fuel ad- ministration that nothing which helps Tn the movement of ears is forbidden by pr. Garfield's order. Formal no- tice to this effect is to be issued by the fuel administration. The exemp- tion means that freight can be loaded into cars and uploaded from cars at all industrial plants, and this suggests the possibility of diverting labor not L otherwise engaged to unloading freight and releasing railroad equip- ment.
