Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula.
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes Its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are In the throes of serious strin-
gencies. .s5t n .@s
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum OF 10000, 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 100000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
II we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts Of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world pence
will have been in vain.

MANY INSTRUMENTS NEEDED IN
EQUIPPING FIGHTING PLANES

Before an airplane can be put into
military service it must be equipped
with at least nine delicate aeronautic
Instruments, some of which are absO-
lutely essential to exact flying, and all
contribute to the successful operation
of a plane. One gives the pilot his To-
cation as to height and direction 9th
ers tell his speed through the air, the
speed Of his propeller, the amount Of
gasoline carried, water temperature,
operation of the oiiing system, and
guide his banking" on turns. Another
necessary article is the OXygen-supply-
ing apparatus, without which an avia-
tor could not climb to any great height.
For operation of actual combat
planes, such as observing, photograph
ing, bombing, and fighting planes,
other complicated and expensive in
struments and sets of apparatus are
necessary. Among them are machine
guns, gun mounts, bomb racks, bomb
dropping devices, bomb sights, radio
and Photographic apparatus, electrical
ly heated clothing, lights and flares.
These bring the total cost of equipment
for an airplane to several thousand dol
lars each, depending upon the type OF
plane.

"STOP, LOOK AND LOOSEN
is CAMPAIGN SLOGAN
FOR RED CROSS
DRIVE

''Stop, Look and Loosen will be the
campaign slogan of the Red Cross in
it's drive through the country, which is
to start May Goth and end on May 9th.
The third word of the slogan is the
most important, and everyone will be
urged to Loosen" up their purse
strings as widely as possible and dig
down" as far as possible.
This means everyone-everyOne who
can possibly give to the boys who are
across seas.
There isn't any part of humanitarian
work that the Red Cross does not do.
1t helps the wounded soldier, it helps
the permanently disabled soldier and
it helps their families. The American
Red Cross is far reaching, for not only
does it help the boys in the camps and
hospitals of this country, but it cares
for them abroad.
The re-education of mutilated SOL
diers is one of the most important of
the works of the American Red Cross.
1t is being carried on jointly by the
French Government and our own Red
Cross. The Red Cross has provided
more than six hundred mutilated sol
diers with artificial legs of the best
type and has established a factory
near Paris, where artificial legs are
manufactured. The mutilated soldier
must return to ordinary community

MEAT FOR ARMY USE MUST
PASS CAREFUL IN
SPECTION

The Army consumes about 2,OOO,OOO
pounds per day of fresh beef This
necessitates the slaughter daily of 1000
cattle. Official inspectors scrutinize
every part of this supply from the time
it comes on the hOOf to the abattOir un-
til it vanishes from the mess tin of the
soldier.
Inspection begins at the stockyards,
where the living animals undergo the
examination of an official for any evil
dences of physical defect which might
be difficult Of detection later. Where.
there is doubt the questionable animals
are separated for closer examination.
Where there is certainty of defect, the
animal is rejected as unfit for food
supply.
Next comes rigid examination of
the carcass. Only when found sound,
healthful, and wholesome" is the meat
passed as acceptable for food and duly
branded with nOn-poisonous vege-
table ink, Omitted States Inspected and
Passed. The unfit carcasses are de-
strOyed.
Fresh meats thus Endorsed go for
ward in regular shipments, but those
which are to undergo curing, canning,
or manufacture into sausages, lard,
OleOmargarine, ETC., are subjected to
re-inspections at each step. For these
there is final inspection just previous
to their dispatch for Army use. Sam
Piles are regularly collected for chem
ical analysis in the Government labOra
tories.
When the meats arrive at the Army
stations they are again inspected either
by inspectors of the Bureau of Animal
Industry or by veterinarian officers of
the Army. They must also obtain the
approval of the officer of the Quarter
master Corps receiving them. And they
undergo their final test when the sol
dier's immediate organization com
mander looks them over before he per-
mits them to be served to his men.

BENEFITS FORGOT

The Comptroller of the Currency re-
Gently revoked the authority he had
previously given for the organization
of national bank on the ground that
the applicants for the charter for a
bank, although men of means, had sub
scribed practically nothing to the Lib
erty Loans.
The application for charter was in
proper form, and these applicants were
men of wealth so far as legal and ma
terial qualifications were concerned
the granting of the charter was justi-
fled
But when it was ascertained that
these wealthy applicants for charter
to do a banking business under the pro-
lection and cooperation of the United
States Government had out of their
great wealth purchased only 5000 worth
of Liberty Bonds among them, Comp
troller Williams promptly revoked his
approval of the application. They Will
have no national bank.

financing his country, is not one VIM

the same principle, and it he DIFFERS

life, and should enter industry on a
basis of competition with able-bodied
men. Cripples who have lost an arm
or leg, and at first seem hopelessly dis
abled, can be taught many processes
of industry, such as running lathe,
operating a motor tractor, controlling
drill, and even the use of farm ma
chinery.
The Red Cross is also trying to keep
the French soldiers homes intact; to
find homes for the outcaSt children
who have neither homes nor parents,
and to help the refugees and repatries
to find place to live until they shall
be able to rebuild their homes.
The above are just few of the
things that your contribution to the
Red Cross will help-your contribution
is needed for this help. 1t is not only
asked of you-to give from the heart
but it is asked as a duty for you to per-
form. Our boys are giving their lives
what are dollars to those who are at
home, enjoying the light and sunshine,
good food and warm beds. The boys
in the trenches might be glad to
change places with those who are asked
to give-but they cannot. We know
and they know it.
The Red Cross Stacker who can give
and does not, is as despicable as the
army Stacker who does not enlist, for
purely personal reasOns-se lfishneSs.
When the drive starts on May Goth,
be sure to have your hand Outstretched,
anxious to give-and give much-the

HELP IN $3.50
WHEAT PROGRAM
Thousands of Retail Gr0cers Sup
port Food Administration
Rules.
SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed - Allied Food Shortage In
creases-America Must
Feed Fighters.

Explaining the United States Food
Administration new $3.50 wheat reg
ulations is a war time task the Ameri-
can grocer has gladly shouldereo.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer is now requir-
ed to buy one pound of cereal suDstl-
tute for every pound of wheat Hour.
The substitute may be of one kind or.
assorted. This $3.50 sale is made by
weight and not by value of the COM
modities. There is, of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hOminy, corn grlts,
barley flour, potato -four, sweet potato
flour. soya bean flour, Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour. oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con-
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodl-
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat flour
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed flours form another excep-
ton. Where any flour contains 80
per cent. or less of wheat it may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the flour is mixed at the rate of 60
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity is shown specially
prepared infants and invalid's food
containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for time.
For instance, if a customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of flour the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, s pounds; corn
grits, pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, pounds; cornstarch, pound ;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats,
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf-
fins or used in the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch is useful in making Gus.
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
in cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms a delicious dish, or it may
be used in baking corn bread Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por.
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in
making mullins.
Buckwheat flour may be used in
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for One-quarter of the
wheat flour, but is especially choice in
the form of buckwheat cakes fol
breakfast.
With IL wheatless meals needed
each week in America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the F0o(
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadStuffS = demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping TO market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 203 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Adj
ministratiOn, endeavOring to adj
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering it's food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarions transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
and in Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change in the developing situa-
ton that they may know, def
nitely the part their food sac
rifices play in the world war.

Women of America!

:, What's the worth of one baby's life?
The time has come when you must put money
value on it.
So much Red Cross money available, SO many
babies restored.
A little less Red Cross money available, SO many
babies lost by default.
It's as plain as that
When you made that first Red Cross investment
you had fairly clear idea that there plenty to be
done and that the Red Cross would make every dollar
of money and every minute OF time count:
But have you clear picture of what price
somebody will have to pay tor one delayed dollar or
hundred dollars withheld?
You can t read casual page of Red Cross reports
from anywhere over there without endangerlng the
GOODNESS of your decision as to chow much.
Suppose you had found "another use " for your
Red Cross money while ago and a corresponding
part the piece of work described below went undone:
Gas bombs being used $50 children en- suddenly

vded medical care and nurses babies secured suitable
food and classified all the refugees to prevent the separation
of members of the same family.

Were those babies worth while WE'LL how much
were they WORTH per baby?
