MUST LIMIT USE
OF WHEAT RICIDLY
No Relaxation in Conservation Until
the Great War Is
Over.

Washington, June 1.-The nation was
warned again yesterday by the food ad-
ministration that there must be no re.
taxing in the rigorous conservation of
wheat if the necessary shipments are to
be made to the American fighters over
seas and the allied peoples.
Every prospect of the wheat situa
ton, both present and future" said the
warning, "intensifes the need for the
greatest possible limitation in the Amer
lean consumption of wheat and wheat
products. If present restrictions should
be in the slightest degree relaxed, it
would result in serious want for the PEG
pie of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
state administrators meeting here
this week were unanimous in the view
that even if the coming harvest does
prove abundant it will be the first duty
of the American people to place every
grain they can save into storage to build
a reserve against possible bad years
ahead. In consequence, there should be
no anticipation of unlimited wheat bread
until the war is over"

Stimulus to Self-Sacrifice.

In an effort to stretch out our remain
ing slender wheat store to cover the next
four and one-half months, the people Of
America are being asked to reduce theil
per capita consumption of wheat TO not
more than one and one.half pounds pei
week. The response has been amazing.
There are many who can do even bet.
ter than this. Those who give from plen.
ty are asked to increase the measure OF
their sacrifice that less may be demanded
from those who would have to give from
their necessities. Some of the former
are gladly denying themselves wheat en-
tirely.
Each day adds its quota to this grow
ing army of American wheat abstainers.
Total Abstainer clubs" are being formed
in some places by those who are ready TO
pledge their entire wheat ration to the
allies.
In one western state both merchants
and consumers are offering stocks of
-four to the government, some cities re-
tanning only two pounds per month per
capita.
A large proportion of all the parishes
in Louisiana have agreed to use no wheat
until the new crop comes in. One church
congregation has adopted resolutions
pledging the entire congregation to con-
sumo not more than three pounds per
person per month.
Prominent clubs throughout the coun
try, both men and womens clubs, have
held patriotic meetings pledging them
selves to abstain from wheat until after
the next harvest.
The state of Texas almost as a whole
has gone on wheatless basis from April
l5 until June l. or longer.
This patriotic response from all direc-
tions shows the spirit of sacrifice that
will lift the ideals of the country and
that is bound to give us final victory.

MORE WORK REQUIRED.
New Method of Assigning Red Cross
Quotas Explained to Delegates.

About 200 delegates attended the state
Red Cross meeting in Burlington Wednes
day to learn about the revised system OF
allotment of quotas and the new manner
| of doing business in the organization
Those present to give addresses were II

the bureau of development of the New
England division, and Miss Lavina New
| ell of Boston, divisional superintendent
Of womens work.
The quotas of work for each branch
have been materially increased, probably
being twice as large. Too much of the
work heretofore has been haphazard,
everybody doing what they pleased, and
the change in plan is made to permit of
articles most needed being concentrated
on by all the branches at given time.
The work which is being carried on now
is for next winter.
Red Cross stations in France and Italy.
as well as in this country, have made
out lists of what they will need. These
lists have been forwarded to Washing
ton and to fill the demand Washington
will apportion quotas to the different
states, which are passed down to the
counties and finally the branches them
selves.
Socks, helmets, wristers and sweaters
are the articles most needed just now
and as soon as other things are needed
word will be sent through the proper |
channels. The few knitting machines in
the state facilitate the work a great |
deal, but they are expensive and consume
an enormous amount of wool
All the delegates present at the meet
ing were sure their branches could pro.
duee the amount called for, even though |
some people might be put to work on
articles they did not like to make.

LEARN FROM GERMANY
How to Conserve the Sugar Supply, Says
a Britisher.

London, june LIN a report on the
sugar supply question in Great Britain
Professor George Martineau of the Uni
versity of London urges the British gov.
eminent to learn from Germany and the
United States, which he describes as "the
two countries which have handled the
sugar question most successfully" Speak
ing of Germany's success with sugar in
the past decade, he says: There are
two causes at the bottom of this mys-
terry. Energy, ability, efficiency, and,
more than all, persistent research, consti-
tuted the first and best cause But this
was supplemented by stimulus de-
signed to induce capitalists to risk their
money in the beetroot industry.
1T was Germany that hit upon the
right kind Of stimulus. 1t was brilliant
idea and was carried out with great
judgment The sugar duty was levied,
not upon the sugar produced, but the
roots. This at once stimulated the farm
er TO produce the richest possible quality
OF root, and the manufactures to extract
from the root the largest possible guam.

This research still goes on in Ger
many, and its success has been astound-
ing. At the beginning the sugar beet con
tanned less than six per cent. Of sugar. In
Germany the average quantity of sugar
actually extracted has been brought up |
to practically is per cent.
''That this wonderful result was caused |
by the stimulus, plus, of course, great eff |
ficiency, is proved by the fact that poor
France continued getting a six per cent
yield until it adopted the German sys
tenn and even then never succeeded in |
"a tching up in the race. That is the
worst of being too late. In industry it is
iatal.'
In the United States, says Professor
Martineau, the industry has been so care.
ully fostered that the production has
increased MANIFOLD. IF America had not
.reated this great increase in produc-
ion" he explains, 1--WE should at the
resent moment be suffering - and so
would America - from a real sugar fam
ne.
'1n 1918 the consumption of sugar in
he United States amounted to the large
gure Of 4,250,000 tons, every ounce of
which, with the purely accidental excep-
ion of $4,000 tons, came from her own
tates, territories and protectOrates. This
triking fact is entirely the result of Civ
lg a preference. The United States, so
ar as sugar is concerned, is now entirely
dependent of the outside world and is
ven able to spare us million tons !,
-henever we are short of supplies"

"FRUIT-A-TIVES" Absolutely Pre-
vents This Dangerous Condition.

The chief cause Of poor health is
our neglect of the bowels. Waste
matter, instead of passing from the
lower intestine regularly every day,
is allowed TO remain there, generating
poisons which are absorbed by the
blood.
In other words, person who Is
habitually constipated, is poisoning
himself. We know now that daio-
7ntofication, due to non action of the
bowels, is diyectly responsible for
serious Kidney and Bladder Troubles;
that it upsets the Stomach, causes
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and
Sleeplessness; that chronic Rheum-
atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are
relieved as soon as the bowels become
regular; and that Pimples, Rashes,
