MINISTERS TO TAKE
FORMAL ACTION
ON federation

Definite formal action regarding the
organization of a church federation
in Richmond is to be taken at called
meeting to be held on the second
Friday evening of January and attend
ed by officially appointed delegates
from the cooperating churches of the
city Plans for this meeting We're ar
ranged at the informal church fedora
ton conference held at the Y. NJ. c.
A. last night: when the men present
informally expressed the sentiment Of
the meeting as favorable to the or
eanization of a church federation in
the city.
The Rev. A. F. Mitchell. vice presi-
dent of the Richmond Ministerial as
ISOLATION, under whose auspices last
nights conference was held, presided
and stated the purpose OF the confer
ence was to consider in an informal
manner plans for church federation
in Richmond. Ernest Renk sang a
beautiful solo, accompanied at the
piano by Miss Ruth Peltz.
The principal address of the even
ing was made by the Rev. E. l.. Will
liams. of indianapolis, who is execut-
i've secretary of the Church Fedora
ton of Indiana.
DR.. Williams said that it was ex-
tremely important for the fact to be
understood that the idea of fedora
ton in no way reflects upon a special
creed of any special denomination. nor
does ii mean combination of creeds.
1.-The combination of forces is not
general unification of ideas in any
sense of the word. but there are
human activities so expansive. and
conditions of life SO complex that no
idea of doctrine can reach them. These
things can only be reached by feder-
ated good works on the broad found
ations laid down by Christ. which are
the common property of all churches.
No church has sufficient power to
grapple with the whole problem which
now faces it,
In an interview Saturday morning
DIR. Williams said: 81 feel that the
Church Federation matter was taken
up with great deal of interest at
the meeting last evening. and while
last evening discussion was informal.
l am looking for some definite and in
teresting action at the proposed meet
ing in January.

NEW RULES FOR EATING HOUSES
Were Effective All Over the Country
On Oct. 21st.

A new program for all public eat
ing houses, effective Oct. 21, was an
nounced by the United States food
administration recently. The new
rules apply to all places where cook
ed food Is sold TO be eaten on the
premises and affect 100000 regular
or occasional patrons.
The general plan OF the food admin
istration with regard TO the conduct
OF public eating places has been re-
duced to twelve definite general or
ders."
These twelve rules furnish the spe-
cific measures by which the food adj
ministration plans to carry out, so
4 far as public eating places are con-
cerned. the announced plan that for
next year the American food program
will be direct reduction in the con-
1sumption OF all food, particularly the
Ntaples, rather than a series of emer-
gency regulations, such as meatless
and wheatless days and meals, and the
substitution OF one food for another.
Concerning these twelve general
orders the food administration In Il
circular to tho proprietors Of public
eating places says;
"It has not been deemed advisable
or necessary at the present time &C
tuGlly TO license. the operation OF pub
lie eating places, but in cases where
the patriotic cooperation OF such
public eating places cannot be secured

food administration will not hesitate

plies. A failure to conform TO any OF
the following orders Will DO regarded
as wasteful practice forbidden by
section of the food control act OF
Aug. 10. 1917"
These general orders prohibit the
serving OF any bread that does not
contain az least 20 per cent of wheat
flour substitutes, and Of this Victory
bread no more than two ounces may
be served TO a patron at one meal; II
no Victory bread is served, four ozs.

mullins Boston brown bread, etc, may
be served Bread served at boarding

tanning AT least one-half rye flour No

fpition OF meat are beef, mutton,
pork and poultry. Not more than a
half ounce OF butter is TO be served to
one person at meal, and chedder
(American) cheese is limited to the
same amount Double" cream is
barred
No waste food may be burned, but
all must be saved TO feed animals or
reduced to obtain fats.
The food administration relies on
the hearty cooperation of the vast
majority OF hotel keepers and other
proprietors of public eating places to
observe these regulations voluntarily,
but Is prepared to use the full force OF
