BY

Billy Jones--maybe your son or the
son Of a neighbor-was In the front
line trenches In France when the Ger
man bombing party was driven back.
His enthusiasm to get the Boches car
ried him over the top of the trench,
and at the edge Of No Mans Land q
Hun bullet got him.
A comrade-maybe your bey-crawl-
ed out into No Mans Land and brought
Billy Jones back to the American
trenches.
Other comrades carried him back
through the maze Of trenches to q
dressing station, where his wound was
cared for.
A medical department ambulance
carried him on to the field hospital.
From there Billy Jones was taken to
the base hospital, and there a Red
Cross nurse-your Red Cross nurse

him back to health again so that hs

TO CUT WHEAT
USE 0NE-HALF
Military Necessity Demands That
Each American Eat Only w
Pounds Wheat Products
Weekly.
CORN AND OATS SUBSTITUTES.
Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to
Maintain Their War Bread
Till Next Harvest.

If we are to furnish the allies with
the necessary proportion of wheat to
maintain their war bread from now
until the next harvest, and this is q
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000.000
bushels month as against our nor
NAL consumption of about 42000.00O
bushels, or SO per cent. of our normal
consumption. This is the situation as
set forth by the U. s. Food Admins.

and for special ,ases. leaves for gen

statement continues: Many of our
consumers are dependent upon bakers

and therefore requires larger proper
tion Of wheat products than cereal
breads baked In the household. Our

can make greater sacrifices in the con-
sumption Of wheat products than can
the poor. In addition, our population
In the agricultural districts, where the
other cereals are abundant, are more
skilled In the preparation of breads
from these other cereals than the

spring months surplus of milk. and
We have ample corn and oats for hu-

and barley as substitutes has already
greatly exhausted the supply Of these

To effect the needed saving Of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed

A SCORE OF REASONS
FOR THE RED CROSS
II Is Playing a Big Part In the
War for Democracy.

What does II mean to you to know
that your America Red Cross:
Is supporting $4,000 French children.
Sends supplies to 3,423 French mill.
tary hospitals.
Provides 1000 French hospitals with
surgical dressings.
Is operating 80 canteens at the front
line.
Is operating six other canteens at
French railway functions, servins
10000 French soldiers a day.
Operates a movable hospital In four
units accommodating 1000 men.
Is operating children's refuge In one
part of the war zone, and In another
q medical center and travelling dis
pensary. both capable Of accommo
dating more than 1000 children.
Has opened a long chain Of ware.
houses stocked with hospital Sup
piles, food. soldiers comforts. to-
bacco. blankets, etc., all the way
from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier
Has warehouse capacity for 100000
tons.
Has 400 motor cars and operates seven
garages, making all repairs.
Has shipped 40 freight car loads Of
assorted supplies to Italy from
France within two weeks after Il
began operating In the former coun-
try.
Had a battery Of motor ambulances
at the Piave front four days after
the United States declared war on
Austria.
Started q hundred different activities
In Italy at the time that nation was
In its most critical condition.
Has established ave hospitals In Eng.
land and operates a workshop for
hospital supplies employing 1000
women.
And that 10000 cases Of supplies
have been received at the Paris
headquarters Of the American Red
Cross from your various chapters
scattered throughout the United
States.
What does all this mean to youf
And I have told you but a fraction Of
the work your Red Cross has done
and Is doing. 1t means that without
this ceaseless. heroic work Of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
Without your Red Cross thousands
In Rumania would have starved to
death.
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port of the United States In the hour
Of need.
without your Red Cross thousands
OF French soldiers now gallantiy fight
ing for you at the front would have
died of wounds. exposure and lack Of
food.
But now we must all redouble our
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
BECAUSE million mothers sons nre
going to carry the stars and stripes
10 the greatest victory God has ever
given to men fighting for honor and
liberty.
With the help of your Red Cross
your boy will win.

3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of barrel Of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of a barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery Of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in other weights. We ilso ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 20 per
cent of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March l.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non.food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
8. There Is no limit upon the use Of
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat. potato -four. ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod.
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There Is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use Of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and We specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts OF the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large q pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton Of the public by further limita-
ton of distribution, and We shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which win be adjusted FROM time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should he able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
trades.
