REV RULES GOVERNING
PUBLIC EATING PLACES
Effective October Il New Rules Will Govern the
Serving Of Food at Public Eating Houses
Order VIII be Strictly Enforced.

A new program for all public eat
ing places, effective October 21. is an
nouneed through r. r. Bicknell, fed
eral food administrator for Idaho. by
the United States food administration.
The new rules apply to all places
throughout the United States where
cooked food is sold to be eaten on the
premises and affect nine million reg
ular or occasional patrons. THE
public's cooperation is requested in
enabling full compliance by our eat
ing places" says Idaho's administra-
tor.
These new regulations carry into
effect the recent announcement of
the food administration that in full
filling the American promise to the
Allies to send them seventeen and a
half million tons of food this year the
public eating places would be called
upon to undertake in many particu-
lars a more strict program than last
year"
The general plan of the food ad-
ministration with regard to the con-
duct OF public eating places has been
reduced to twelve definite General
Orders" These twelve rules fur
nish the specific measures by which
the food administration plans to carry
out. so far spublic eating places are
concerned, the announced plan that
for next year the American fooG pro-
gram will be direct reduction in the
consumption of all food. particularly
the staples, rather than a series of
emergency regulations such as meat
less and wheatless days and meals.
and the substitution OF one food for
another.
Concerning these twelve general
orders the food administration in a
circular to the proprietors Of public
eating places says: "It has not been
deemed advisable or necessary at the
present time actually TO license the
operation OF public eating places, but
in cases where the patriotic co-opera-
ton Of such public eating places can
not be secured by other means the
United States food administration
will not hesitate to secure compliance
with its orders through its control of
the distribution Of sugar. -four and
other food supplies. A failure to con-
form to any of the following orders
will be regarded as a wasteful prac-
tee forbidden by Section Four OF. the
Food Control Act of August 0,1e17."
These general orders prohibit the
serving of any bread that does not
contain at least the 20 per cent of
wheat -four substitutes. and OF this
Victory bread no more than two
ounces may be served to . patron at
one meal; If no Victory bread Is
served four ounces of other breads,
such as corn bread, mullins, Boston
Brown bread, etc.. may be served.
The limits named apply to any one

person at any one meal. Bread serv-
ed at boarding camps excepted as
is bread containing at least one-half
rye -four. No bread is to be served
until after the first course is on the
table and no bread or toast may be
served as garniture.
Bacon is also barred as a garniture
and only one meat may be served to
patron at meal. Included in the
definition of meat are beef. mutton,
pork and poultry. Not more than q
half-ounce OF butter is to be served
to one person at q meal, and Cheddar
tAmeriean) cheese is limited to the
same amount. Double" cream is
banned.
No sugar bowls will be on the ta-
bles, teaspoonful is the limit for
a meal. and then only when asked
for. Two pounds is the allowance
to be observed for each ninety meals
served, including cooking.
No waste food may be burned but
all must be saved to feed animals or
reduced to obtain fats.
Attention Is specially directed to-
wards the conservation of bread and
butter, cereals, meats, fats, sugar,
coffee, cheese and ice, to fresh vege-
tables and fruits which should be
served when possible, and to unnec-
essary suppers, teas. luncheons and
banquets, which are condemned as
fourth" meals. The food admins
tration desires as few fried dishes as
possible.
The new regulations affect hotels,
restaurants. dining cars, steamships,
clubs. and other places where food is
sold to be consumed on the premises.
In message to the managers Of such
establishments the Food Administra-
tor fully explains the food situation
with reference to the war. and tells
what the people of the United States
must DO in the way Of saving food In
order to make good the pledge
which, authorized by the President.
he gave to the Allies at the recent
conference OF food controllers.
The Food Administration points
ont that this accomplishment In 1919
will save host OF American lives
that. will have to be sacrificed If the
war continues until 1920. To strike
the Anal blow in 1919 means that we
must not find the men, shipping and
equipment for this gigantic army,
but that our army. the Allied armies
and the civil population of the allied
countries must. in the meantime, have
ample food II their strength Is to be
maintained. I'VE can do all these
things" he declares. and believe we
can bring this business to an end IL

LEAGUE
ENDORSES co. TICKET

The program the Nonpartisans put
across Saturday is obvious. Part OF
the Republican candidates were en-
dorsed and others on the ticket We're
not which snakes the issue clean cut
and makes the big fight come at the
August primaries instead OF IN the
fall. Candidates who are on the Re-
publican ticket and were not en-
dorsed cannot back out now at this
late date and must see the game
through to the end. There were no
Democrats endorsed which was a sur
prise inasmuch as it had been stated
rs late as last week that one Or two
Democrats at least would receive the
backing of the League. Several OF
the candidates who were endorsed
Saturday have been before the peo-
pie before as candidates on the So
cialist ticket for county Offices.
Word from Plentywood is to the
effect that the Republicans who were
picaed UP by the League declare
they did not seek the endorsement
openly.
The outcome of the convention is
the topic of the day Throughout
Sheridan county. It must be admit
/ ted that the entire play was not BAT

| fight more interesting. - Popla

and be known as the Republican tic
ket in the coming elections, while a
once-over of the candidates endorsed
we find six Republicans, four So
cialists and three Democrats. Some
combo at the best to represent d
perfectly good Republican ticket
don't you thinil?
True to the advance predictions OF
the convention, the delegates en-
dorsed number of the present coun-
tv officials which will be used IN
their drive as "shock troops" In tne
hopes that this will carry their en-
tire ticket through to victory. how
ever as further predicted, immedi-
ately following the formation line OF
the "shock troops" the Socialist con-
nection of the League landed IN ths
