Nearly every class or design of ves-
sci is said to sink In particular way.
For instance, the old type of slngle-bot-
!em steamer, with few or no bulkheads
almost invariably founders on more
,r less Of an even keel, which means
that they sink level.
The case of modern vessel, which
s built with numerous subdivisions
founders with her bow or stern high
out of the water; or with heavy list
to one side The bulkhends prevent
the water which enters the vessel from
finding the level; consequently, when
one particular portion Of the ship Is
full of water while the remainder is
practically water-tight, that part which
is water-laden sinks first.

HERBERT HOOVER"
Outlining the wheat situation and
the necessity for pledging abstinence
from the use of wheat, Mr.. Hoover
sent the following message to the peo-
pie through the churches:
1.-THE wheat situation is the most
serious in the food supply of the world.
"Our harvest was less than esti-
mated.
Needs of the allies are greater than
we calculated.
Losses by sea and battle have been
heavier than were anticipated.
"Tenser demands on shipping space
restrict ships more than ever to the
shortest haul and the highest bulk.
Eve have fallen behind in our pro-
gram. We have eaten further into
our stock Of wheat than we should.
There is no margin anywhere.
Near Danger Point.
"The allies stocks of wheat are
down to the danger point. We dare
not stop the flow Of wheat over seas.
That would be greater disaster than
the defeat of an army.
I'VE must send wheat and more
wheat. To redeem our obligations to
those who fight for us, and whom we
sent, we must go on q wheatless basis.
Going without wheat is an incon-
Misunderstanding worse. 1t is no
hardship, no danger.
Food will win the war! Food today
means first of all wheat.
Perhaps this is the largest contri-
button we can make. w..
Going without wheat adds directly
to our forces in battle.

An urgent appeal to the American
people to save wheat and wheat prod
ucts until the next harvest and re-
quest that everyone, so far as his cir
cumstances will permit, sign a pledge
to abstain from the use of wheat and
wheat products, was issued by Her
bert Hoover through the Church and
Sunday School Division of the Food
Administration for. Washington Sum
day. 49, ..~.'-... Al.
The following is Mr.. Hoover's mes
sage to the American people:
1.-THE confidence of the United
States Food Administration that the
people of the country would respond
enthusiastically and whole heartedly
upon presentation of the facts to any
necessary requests for reduction in
consumption of food has been fully
justified. We have demonstrated our
ability not only to think together but
to act together. This response Of the
people is the reason for the present
appeal.
"Our work is not yet complete in
spite Of the encouraging results OF
our efforts. In spite of the fact that
our exports of foodstuffs are constant
ly increasing and are approaching the
minimum requirements abroad, the
need for renewed devotion and effort
is pressing. While all of the require
ments of the food administration
should be constantly observed, there
are certain matters which desire to
stress at this time.
Need More Meat s
I'm the case of meat and meat
products, the necessities for shipment
abroad are very great. Whereas the
allied consumption has been reduced
to an average Of about one and one
quarter pounds per person per week,
we are today enjoying an average of
about three and one-quarter pounds
per person per week. This division is
negotiable. An understanding of
these facts will justify our request
that the consumption Of all meats. in
GLIDING poultry, as nearly as possible
be reduced to two pounds per person
over four years Of age. .
I'm the case of sugar we are en-
barrassed by the necessity of using
ships for carrying our soldiers and
feeding the allies and in consequence
we must use sugar with great econ
omy. We must emphasize the impor-
lance Of canning and preserving on a
large scale among our people this sum-
mer and our available sugar must be
conserved for this purpose.
"But the situation with regard to
wheat is the most serious in the food
supply of the allied world. II we are
to satisfy the minimum wheat require
ments of our armies and the allies and
the suffering millions in the allied
countries our consumption OF wheat in
the United States until the next har-
vest must be reduced to approximately
one-third of normal. 1t is inconceiv-
able that we should fail in this crisis.
For each Of us who can personally
contribute to the relief of human suf-
fering it is privilege. not sacrifice.
All elements of our population cannot
bear this burden equally. Those en-
gagged in physical labor need larger
bread ration than those in sedentary
occupations. Because of the constant

Nutrition in Buckeve.

A nut which is not suited for eating
as 1t grows, but from which a food is
said to have been prepared by the In
dams Is the buckeye. The kernels of
these nuts were dried, powdered, and
water was filtered through them to
leach out the poison which they con-
tain. The resulting paste was either
eaten cold or baked. Attempts have
been made in Europe to utilize the
horse-chestnut as food, but they have
not come into use. =
