20 on an absolutely vheatless basis,
II the recommendations Of the leading
hotels and club managers Of Washing
ton are adopted by Clarence r. Wilson,
TODD administrator for the District Of
Columbia. The hotel men at a meet
ing at the once of the food admins
traitor for the District yesterday af-
ternoon exchanged views on the
wheatless meal proposition. which
they voluntarily inaugurated about
the middle Of last month.
Results Good So Far.
They told Mr.. Wilson that the re-
suits were highly satisfactory. and
that there Was little or no complaint
from the patrons.
They recommended that Mr.. Wilson
take some action that would cause
the other places in Washington that
serve meals to the public to stop the
use OF wheat in any form. They
pointed out that the lunchrooms and
many Of the smaller hotels are now
observing Monday and Wednesday as
wheatless days. but that on these days

substitutes. 1t was the feeling ex-
pressed at the meeting that the least
thing the other eating places in WASH
ington could do to win the war. was
to observe a program of wheatless
meals for every meal, every day in
the week.
They also recommended that a cam
paign be started to better acquaint
the public with the difference between
the so-called Victory" bread and the
wheatless bread. saying that many
patriotic people in Washington
thought they were observing a strict
ly Vheatless program when they
used Victory bread.
WheatIess samples shown.
Samples Of bread baked by Wash
ington bakers, which contained no
wheat at all were exhibited at the
meeting.
The hotels and clubs represented at
the meeting were: New Willard, La

Chairman Writes Mes
sage to Inspire.

Chairman Edward N. Hurley. Of
the Shipping Board. Is a irm be-
lever in good wages, the best pos
sible labor conditions and COM
Portable housing. But he does not
believe that these things are
enough for the man engaged upon
the patriotic work of building ships
to win the war. He Believes that
each man earnestly engaged upon
such work. while denied the uni
form of Q soldier, and perhaps
medals and decorations. should be
given some mark or momento by
which his services shall be recog-
nized.
Appreciates Work.
II Mr.. Hurley had the power he
probably would bestow medals and
ribbons OF honor on his workers
who render signal service in the
shipyards. for he knows the real
value OF these services in helping
to win the war. He may find
some way to do 1t yet. but in the
meantime he has had issued a serv-
ice flag, and to each member of the
govern ment's vast shipbuilding
force he has sent one Of these
flags on heavy paper and a per-
sonal letter. Mr.. Hurley wrote:
1T is my hope that this flag. dis
played in your home. will be an
evidence to all who may see it that
you are engaged in patriotic work
of the highest character.
Tn six months from this date

win this war. Please mark your

Upon receipt of your letter l shall
send you another flag. Of the same
design as the one enclosed, but made

EdgertOn People Should Not Neg
lect Their Kidneys.


No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may be
warning you of approaching dropsy,
gravel or Bright's disease. Kidney
disease is seldom fatal if treated in
time, but neglect may pave the way.
Don't neglect lame or. aching back
another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells,
headaches, WEAKNESS or depression. If
you feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time tried remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. For so years
Doan's have been found effective. En-
dorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. Mohns, 80 N. Academy street,
GAINESVILLE, Wis, says: II was suffer-
