ASK REDUCED HOTEL
MENUS TO SAVE FOOD

With the growth of national de-
mands for food conservation, labor
and thrift generally, all hotels have
been asked to reduce their menus and,
as far as possible, to cut out all Of the
foods that are needed for overseas
shipments.
If the alternative dishes now offered
to customers on each menu can be
greatly reduced, it will decrease the
labor required in preparation, the
stocks required in reserve, and the
waste arising from it.
Each manager or owner of the high
grade hotel has a positive influence.
1t is impossible to maintain a conser-
walton program in the home if those
who do not care to follow it can get
everything they want at hotels.
The greatest diet difficulties in Ger
many are Que 20 the fact that the poor
man realizes that the big hotels don't
play the game. Any delicacy can be
bought by rich man, and this has
honeycombed Germany with graft.
But travellers in England are i'm
pressed with the scarcity Of food in
hotels there. Her upper classes are
denying themselves the most and TAX
ing the heaviest burdens.

HOOVER REMOVES LIMIT ON
QUANTITY SALES OF WHEAT

According to a telegram received
from Hoover August 80 by Magnus
SWenson, Wisconsin Food Administra-
tor, all limits on quantity sales to con-
sumner including thirty days supply to
consumers and supply for specified
period to farmers on exchange trans
action are removed.
I'VE rely on the substitute rule and
the general request to economic food
to accomplish the necessary conserva-
tion,' says Hoover.
While retailers are not required to
buy substitutes at the same time flour
is purchased, they must be sure to
keep sufficient legal substitutes on
hand so that they can sell one pound
Of substitutes to each four pounds of
flour sold.
Present stocks of mixed fours con-
tanning 20 per cent or more substi-
tutes may be sold without substitutes
until exhausted. If they contain less
than 20 per cent substitutes, one pound
of substitute flour must be sold with
each four pounds of it. After Sept /
Victory Mixed flOurs containing pre-
scribed percentages Of substitutes viii
be sold.
All manufacturers of Victory Mixed
FlOUr5 must take out internal revenue
license and pay special tax as hereto
fore.

rented out by Mr.. Kaudy in many

vice and attracts a great many people
in places Of amusement and they APP

1918 WHEAT TO BE SOLD ON
BASIS OF TERMINAL CHARGES

'Millers are expected to buy wheat
on basis Of terminal prices,-$226 at
Chicago and Milwaukee and $2215 at
IMinneapolis-less freight and han
ding charges, Magnus Swenson, Food
Administrator for Wisconsin, answered
Inquiries made to the Food Admins
tration.
''The price of wheat per bushel at
elevators based on federal grades
should be slightly less than the Chica-
go and Milwaukee price of $226 or
the Minneapolis price of $2.215. The
slight decrease is allowed because of
the cost Of handling at country eleva-
tor, the freight charge to terminal

ing commission, switching amounting
to 21ac per bushel and the profit to

Iceland Mills Potato Flour.

Iceland is preparing to handle her
excess potato crop by installing pota-
to milling machinery so that the po-
tato starch can be used as a partial
substitute for wheat. Shortage Of ship
ping with consequent curtailment OF
imports has made it impossible to
maintain her wheat supplies.
Next year the potato crop in Wis
ccnsin will have greater value
through the increased demand for Pc
tato starch for food and for CONNER
cial work in the stiffening Of textiles
and paste for paper hangers besides
the consumption in ordinary cookery.
At present the only potato flour mill
in this state is in Polk county

actions Of wheat for flour, mills, ele-
vators or grain dealers must either

graham or prescribed mixed fours or

War Won't End Food Crisis.

1t will take eighteen months after
the war to demobiIize the armies now
in France. After that, tens Of thou
sands Of men will be kept busy putting
France, England, and Italy back into
something like normal shape. SO for
the next two years, even if speedy vic
tory is ours, there viii be a vast pop
ulation dependent for food upon U.s.
So whether the news from the front
be good or bad, this country must not
slacken production and conservation
one whit but ward off a state of affairs
which could be worse than war itself.
The world must not starve.

Wheat Not the Best Grain.

Habit has made us think that wheat
is necessity; but it is really only a
luxury. Perhaps enc housewives pride
in her Saturday baking is lessened,
since wheat makes the incest, whitest
loaf, but she nourishes her family just
as well on bread made with other
grains. 1t has no more protein, min
eral salt, fat, nor fuel than the other
cereals, and as far as comparative
tests are concerned in animals, it is
very far from the best one. Since it is
easier to ship, we can let the Allies
have it without decreasing the nutri-
tiOnal value of our own diet
