DR.. ADAM WRITES FROM
CAMP GREENLEAF, GA.
every One Should Give to the Red
Cross Until They Can Look Their
Conscience in the Face"

Friday, May II, 1918.
My dear Mr.. Krouse:
wish hal time and the ability to
write real good description OF what
"we"? are doing down here: how over
one Thousand doctors come and 90
here each weeks, how hard they
work, and best of all, if could only
inject some of their devotion and self
sacrifice into this screed, would be
happy.
We have to begin as a "priyate"
under all the rules of military life,
a1d they are some what different from
our "home method, but the doctors
do it cheerfully, willingly and we'll.
During my two weeks, for instance,
as side issue. have polished the
stove, oiled the floor, scrubbed my cat,
tended fires, swept both inside and
out, and bless your heart, this has to
be done each day. Why, when come
home, can even qualify for "Kenney
Strong's job. W. have four hours of
drill each day., aid five Eours Of
| Lectures, so with our other duiin@ we
are kept bcsy, and arr leading 1.-The

New England, right about here, anG
with its full summer garb, of green
grass an leaves, and about our mid
summer temperature. Always glad to
hear from the good friends in Canaan
and shall be interested to hear how
quickly they "crOss the tape" in the
Red Cross drive, which il soon to
come. The dear old town has done
we'll, but can do better. l don't like
the saying "give till it hurts". but
just wish each one would give till they
could look their conscience square in
the eye, and meet their fellowmen,
with the proud feeling, that they had
"seen the vision, and realized how
important factors they were in staying
a. home, and backing the dear boys
lover there" who are going to free
the world, not only from the despised
Hun, but also from its own selfish-ag-
ressive, unbrotherly ways of living

MERCHANTS COOPERATE
TO HELP RED CROSS
Committees Will Cover Entire Town
in House House Canvass Be-
ginning Saturday Morning.

Plans have been completed to start
the Red Gross drive on Friday morn
ing ard endeavo, to secure this towns
quota by Saturday night. On Friday
the merchants listed in an advertise
ment in another part of this paper Will
give ten per cent of their cash sales to
the Red Cross. Tuesday, the A. & P.
store with other branch stores Of this
concern, gave ten per cent of their
sales and in addition Manager Ingalls,
gave 1 cent en- every pound of coffee, )
ceat onsoap powder, cent on rice and
cents on every peck of potatoes sold,
besides contributing his commission
for the week. A. J. Briggs will give 10
per cent of the receipts Of his garage
for the week to the Red Cross.
Beginning Saturday morning COM
mittee of ladies under the direction OF
local chairman Fl. E. Lyles will cover
the town in house-to-house canvass,
and in the meantime Principal Strayer
has taken the matter up with the pu
pills in the schools of the town. Every
one is urged to have contribution
ready for the committee in order that
there will be no delay when the COM
mit.ee arrives. The children are asked
to save their nickels and will receive
credit for their contributions in the same
manner as those who give larger sums.
Already several towns of the state
have gone ove- the top in this drive
and Atlantic division which includes
Connecticut raised three and one-half
millions on the first day of the drive.
In order to do our part here it is up to
every individual to be prepared to give
something that the burden will not
rest on thes shoulders of a small minor
ity of the residents of the town. Give
something 60 matter how small, but
make it large enough so that you will
feel someo re else is not paying your
way on the Ship of Mercy.
One other way in which to help the
Red Cross in this drive, is to make
your purchases as large as possible on
Friday at the stores of the merchants
who have agreed to give ten per cent
of their cash sales to fund. N

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS.

General orders" in the interest Of
food conservation have been issued
by Herberts Hoover, Federal food adj
ministrator, to the proprietors of all
public eating houses, effective Octo-
Der 21st. Every restaurant, from
the high-priced hotel down to the
dairy lunch and the boarding house
table d'hote, will come within the
purview of these orders. Mr.. Hoo
yer says that if the instructions are
carefully followed there will be foods
enough Of all kinds to meet the
wants of the American people and
permit the expectation Of all that is
required by the allies, thus contrib
uting materially to the early winning
of the war; And he proposes to see
to it that they are carefully observ-
ed. Any restaurant caught disre-
garding them will be held guilty of
wasteful practices under the food
control act and its food supplies will
be cut off.
Mr.. Hoover's general orders" di-
rect that only Victor bread, contain
ing at least 20 per cent of wheat
-four substitute, shall be served and
that not more than two ounces Of it
shall be given with each meal This
means two slices of medium thick
ness. The patron can substitute
cornbread, mullins, Boston, brown
bread or SO per cent rye bread and
get four ounces with a meal if he de-
sires.
Hereafter chops, sweetbreads, ETC.,
when served will oppose directly up
on the platter. They will not rest
upon tempting slices of bread OF on
toast; garnitures Of that sort are for
hidden, Likewise bacon as a garri-
ture is under the ban The appe:lz-
ing rasher served with steak to give
zest to the taste is gone for the per-
iod of the war.
It is made a hard and fast rule
that no bread shall be placed upon
the table until after the first course
is served. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. A great many people are IN
clined to nibble at crusts while wait
ing for the dinner to come on, and ir
this way much more than the pei
capita allowance of bread. might be
consumed. One kind of meat is all
that may be served to any patron al
meal. No more may he order ar
entree to be followed by roast
There is nothing in general orders
to preclude the eating Of fish or oys-
tiers before the meat course comes
on, but there can be only one kind Of
meat. And that there may be ne
misunderstanding, the food admins
ion defines meat to include beef
mutton, pork and any by-product'
thereof.
Butter portions are limited to one
half ounce, and the sugar bowl il
peremptorily ordered off the table
or counter. Each patron is entitled
to single teaspoonful Of sugar at /
meal, and he must ask for it if h,
wishes it, otherwise he will not b,
served.
These regulations involve no great
sacrifice upon the part of the public
even though many people may find i
even though many people may find i
difficult to adjust their tastes tC
them for the time. That they arr
sensible rules cannot be denied, and
it is equally clear that they must re.
suit in a very considerable curtail-
ment Of the waste Of food.
