BOOZE AND FOOD

.f'rz " w
This statement has been issued by
the United States food administrator !:
AS to the discussion over the sup
preston Of brewing, wish to say en-
phatically ! that from a strictly food
conservation point of view 1 should
like to see the use of foodstuffs sup
pressed In all drinks hard and soft.
This Is not, however, the whole
story. We stopped disabling year
ago. There is a long supply Of whisky,
gin and other 20 per cent to 40 per
cent distilled drinks in the country.
We have reduced the consumption of
foodstuffs in brewing by 30 per cent
and reduced the alcohol content of beer
to 2A per cent. If we stop brewing
the saloons of the country will still
be open but confined practically to a
whisky and gin basis.
"Any true advocate of temperance
and of national efficiency In these times
will shrink from this situation. for the
national danger in it is greater than
the use of some four million bushels
of grain monthly in the breweries. II
the American people want prohibition
1t should prohibit by legislation to that
end and not force the food administra-
ton to the responsibility for an orgy
OF drunkenness. 1t is mighty difficult
to get drunk on 2A per cent beer; 1t
will be easy enough If we force sub
stitution of distilled drinks for it.
"The food administration has gone
as far as 1t can towards temperance
without precipitating worse situa-
ton. If the American people or con-
gress will stop the sale of distilled
liquors the administration will find no
difficulty in stopping brewing"

CANNING FOR OUR SOLDIERS
Same Result If People Use Home
Canned Products in the Home.

Although the American housewife is
urged to can or preserve every ounce
of fruit or vegetables possible her prod
uct must be reserved for civilian use.
Home canned or preserved goods can
not be purchased or accepted as gifts
by the army or navy. No government
tai department Is permitted to accept
any article without paying for it and
furthermore the difficulty of handling
small lots of goods for which the con-
tainers are not uniform makes such
acceptance impossible. Uniformity is
essential because Of the necessity of
utilizing every particle of shipping
space. However, 1t must be borne in
mind that every jar or can filled by
housewives and used in the homes re-
leases a like quantity of commercially
canned goods for export. There will
also be saved the labor. transportation
space, and cost of transportation in
volved in the commercial distribution
of factory preserved goods.

The reasons given by the food ad-
ministration for the restrictions
+ follow: "a number of beet sugar
i factories in Europe have been lost /,
as a result of the recent German

7 dismantled, and their output,

what success the allied armies

MORE WHEAT IN ENGLAND
increase of Wheat Production in Great
Britain Is Not Enough.

Although the wheat acreage in Great
Britain has been greatly increased it
is not likely that the increased yield
of cereals In the United Kingdom dur
ing 1918 will materially affect the
amount which must be delivered
abroad by the United States and Can
ada. In other words. in comparison
with the total needs the amount which
can be raised in the United Kingdom
is small. The wheat production of the
United Kingdom in 1917 was $4,000, 900
bushels and the increased acreage this
year is estimated at about 40 per cent.

PRESIDENTS APPEAL FOR
LIBERTY LOAN

Washington, Oct 10.-Presi-
dent Wilson today issued this
statement on the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign:
Recent events have en-
hanced, not lessened, the i'm
portance of this loan, and |
hope that my fellow-country
men will let me say this to
them very frankly. The best
thing that could happen would
be that the loan should not only
be fully subscribed but very
greatly oversubscribed. We are
in the midst of the greatest
exercise of the power of this
country that has ever been
witnessed or foreseen, and a
single day of relaxation in that
effort would be of tragical dam
age alike to ourselves and to
the rest of the world. Moth
ing has happened which makes
it safe or possible to do any
thing but push our effort to the
utmost. The time is critical.
and the response must be COM
plete.

having materially increased his total
since yesterday.
/ The general total has been much in
creased by a number of small returns
1t is being pointed out that all are not
in a position to get large pledges. but
that each boy is responsible for the
best efforts he can give, and that the
sum of these amounts to great deal
/ Several secured blanks and started out
this morning, and the result will be

be put, and are giving their efforts

SUNDAY MOTORING BAN
HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED
Local Fuel Administrators Hart Has
Received No Cancellation.
Order Is Still Necessary

Emphatically denying rumors that
the ban on gasoline for Sunday use
was to be raised, William c. Robin
son, director of oil conservation for
the u. S. Fuel Administra ion. through
President II. NJ Lizius, of the Auto
mobile Club of Maryland. yesteray
declared that the necessity of the
elimination of the use of gasoline On
Sundays is more urgent than here
tofore, and that all talk of the ban
being raised was without foundation.
Mr.. Walter H. Hart, local fuel ad-
ministrator for Annapolis and Anne
Arundel county. has received no word
cancelling the heretofore observed re-
striction, he announced today.
However. according to dispatches
from Washington the ban on gaso-
lineless Sundays will be removed af-
ter October 13, if sufficient gasoline
is reported in stock at that time, ac-
cording to an announcement of the
Fuel Administration.
A campaign of advertising is to be
launched, appealing to the public to
conserve, if possible. 10 to 20 per cent
on the amount of gasoline ordinarily
used.
Mr. Luzius went to Washington and
talked over the situation with Direc-
tor Robinson. who killed all rumors
about the ban being lifted. Mr.. Rob-
inson urged upon motorists the ne
cessity of observing the ban and to
cooperate to the fullest extent in the
efforts to save gasoline and oil for
winning the war.

to issue necessity cards

COAL SHORTAGE

All Local Coal Dealers are
Completely SMamned

As result of many inquiries about

Mr.. Hart said. There are now more
than four hundred houses and build
ings without any coal supply on hand
During the past week this number has
been growing every day, as it relates
very largely to homes where Flu"
cases have made a visitation.
All local coal dealers are complete
ly swamped with orders that they are
unable to supply This condition of
affairs is caused very largely by the
coal operators and shippers being un-
able to keep the local dealers sup
piled. At the end of September, ship
ments exceeding eighteen hundred
tons were behind hand and overdue
And this month there is every like
lihood of going on additional five
hundred tons behind, as the strike of
the anthracite coal miners is certain
to effect deliveries to dealers. | have
both written urgent lettrs and tele-
graphed to these shippers to speed
up their deliveries"
When asked if he had communicate
ed with Admiral Eberle, at the Naval
Academy Mr.. Hart said, "Yes, / am
in correspondence with the Admiral
right now; but l do not care to give
out any copy. | thought possibly that
Admiral Eberle would help me, on
account of there being about two hum
dred officers and instructors who have
only recently arrived in town and
who were not provided for when the
allotment was made up some months
ago. However, | am now bringing
pressure TO bear upon the allotment

phia, to again increase our allotment,
