'. +. Deems In Open Letter to People
of State Makes Further
Explanation OF
Order.
WHEAT FLOUR AT STAKE
More Difficult From Day to Day to
Secure This White Flour and
People Must
Help.

j. F. Deems, of the United States
food administration, has written a
letter explaining the $3.50 flour rule.
he writes to the patriotic housewives
OF the state. and to the consumers of
bread and users of white flour, ana
| in his letter he says:
| There seems TO be lack of proper
understanding of the motive of our
government in making what is gen.
orally known as the "fifty-fifty" rule,
or the regulation requiring the PUG
chase and consumption of an equal
amount of certain substitutes with
each pound of wheat flour purchased
o. consumed.
The government is not attempting
to impose hardship on anyone; but
on the contrary is doing it's best to
help the people to conserve the very
limited amount of wheat and wheat
flour now available for consumption,
thus averting real hardship later on.
The wheat and milling division Of
the food administration has recently
stated that if we continue our usual
rate of consumption of wheat flour
the entire supply on hand will be ex-
hausted in less than ninety days. and
the country would then be. on basis
Of Substitutes" only.
The government felt it to be it's
duty to do everything in its power To
obviate this calamity, and hence
adopted the fifty-fifty substitute
scheme as the best device at hand.
The shipment of wheat flour to the
soldiers at the front is an imperative
duty and the government will fulfill
this duty to the letter, and they are
trying to do their utmost to make the
situation as easy as possible for those
of us who are spared the hardships
and dangers of the men at the front.
From day to day it will grow more
difficult for jobbers, retailers, and
consumers to secure wheat flour,
(the term wheat flour as used here
covers Straight wheat flour and
war" flour); hence the dealer who
does anything to increase his flour
sales, or who fails to insist on the
observance Of the fifty-fifty regula-
ton Is only standing in his own
light; or in other words, he is only
"fooling himself by Fastening the
day when he will have no flour to sell.
In this crisis, we urge not only the
use of the recommended substitutes
in accordance with the government
regulations, hut the increased use of
vegetables and fruits Of all kinds that
are obtainable.
With all that the government is
asking us to do and all the other
things we can do, no serious hardships
will be imposed and our condition
will be so much better than that OF
the civilian population of all Euro2-
can countries, it would seem that we
should be eager to do our full share
in order to avert more serious con-
ditions, if not real hardships later
on, to say nothing of our duty to our
boys over there" and our patriotic
duty in the greatest crisis our coun-
try has ever faced.

CAUSE FOR
PROFITEERING
Cost Plus System Said to be Respon-
sibIe for Much of Trouble
in Government
Contracts.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The cost
plus" system for government con-
tracts is responsible for much war
profiteering, Otto M. Eidlitz, newly
appointed director of housing, told
the house public buildings committee.
Eidlitz who will have charge of
spending $5O,000,000 to house govern
ment employees and those working on
war contracts should Secretary OF
Labor Wilson's housing bill pass,
said he would let no contracts for
this work on the cost plus system.
Several large manufacturers have
offered to help the government in the
housing work, asking only that the
government loan the money for the
work, Eidlitz said.
"The General Electric company at
Erie, Pa, offered outright 100000 in
cash; 100000 in land and asks the
government for loan of 100000,
all of which is to be paid back In fif-
teen years." Eidlitz said.
1.-THE Bethlehem Steel company at
South Bethlehem. Pa, and Old Spar
row Point has made a similar offer.
Chester, Pa, and Wilmington, Del,
offer to pay twenty percent of all the
money the government will spend
there. Bridgeport. Conn, citizens
have made very liberal offer also.
Newport News has helped the ship
ping board"
Eidlitz said the government would
get practically all the money back
that it put in the houses for rents
and sales after the war.

piness for the girl of the reforma-
tory, told in clear, tense and alb
sorbingly interesting manner.

Ida Gillian Commits Suicide by Hang
ing in Home Early This
Morning-Reason
Unknown.
FATHER DIED FRIDAY
Eldest Daughter of Eli Davis Gillian
Was Born and Raised In Ham
cock County and Well
Known There.
[Special to The Gate City.l


Warsaw ILL.,, Feb. 19.-Ida Gill
ham, the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Sarah Gillian, took her own life by
hanging in her home at the corner
of Tenth and Webster streets here
last evening between the hours of
6 and 7. The cause for the act Is
now known, but it is thought by some
that grief for the loss Of her father
who passed away last Friday was
the reason.
She was the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Eli Gillian and was born
and raised in Hancock county. She
was ffty-two years of age at the time
of her death. The Gillian family
lived on the Gillian homestead until
1906 when they moved to Warsaw.
A few years previous to that they
spent in California, but the most of
Ida's life was spent in this COM
munity.
The mother, Mrs. Sarah Gillian,
and one sister, Mrs. Isaac Baker of
Walker township survive. Funeral
arrangements have not yet been
made, but 1t is likely that the ser
vices will be held tomorrow.
