Lansing, July 4.-"Pro-German pro-
pagandists have been more busy than
ever, since January /, 1918. trying to
circulate rumors In America that will
undermine the faith OF the people in
their government. The German pro-
pagandists were successful In Italy
and in Russia. The results Of their
work are only too well known. Such
propaganda must be carefully fought
in America" says Food Administrators,
G. A. Prescott
Zone of the systematic plans of pro-
paganda since the German offensive Of
March Fl has been the circulation of
rumors tending to discourage faith In
Capada and her participation in the
war. The rumor Of interest to the
Food Administration, and repeated In
Michigan until 1t has become a dang
erous rumor, is that Canada is making
absolutely no effort to conserve food"
The Food Administration In Michi-
gan, to combat the affects OF this
rumor, made a thorough investigation
and has received scores of letters and
bulletins from Canadian cities. This
information Is given herewith that you
may be able to stop the repetition OF
this rumor In your community.
Here are a few of the facts about
Canadian food conservation:
A penalty is provided for PRO
prietors Of hotels, clubs, restaurants,
cafes, steamships, dining cars, and etc.,
managers of institutions, church socie-
ties or lodges, private householders,
or other persons who destroy or dis
card good food; also to wasteful picnic
parties or travellers; also to hunters,
fisherman, ETC., who neglect to save
game or fish secured by them"
2 Penalty is provided to persons
who allow food to spoil, II 1t could be
saved by cooking, canning or other
treatment; also to careless and waste
full cooks; also to farmers, gardeners
or other producers who neglect to pro-
tect grain, produce or other food
against deterioration or loss; also to
merchants who allow candy, fruit or
other food to spoil by exposure in win
dows or open to flies, dust moisture,
etc.; also to persons who, through
careless storage, leave food accessible
to rats, mice, or other vermin; also to
handlers who cause waste by careless
packing or shipping; also to public or
private carriers, who negligently and
cause waste or deterioration.
3 No pure wheat -four is being
manufactured In Canada. Mills in
Canada are grinding the whole wheat
grain into war -four.
No person is allowed to have
more than fifteen days supply of flour
on hand in town; thirty days supply in
the country. The same applies to
sugar.
Sugar bowls are not allowed on
the tables of hotels and restaurants.
Use of sugar for candy, icings,
etc., is restricted. Candy manufacture
ers are allowed only fifty per cent Of
last years supply.
z Canada now has two meatless
days each week.
The use of war -four more than
matches our wheatless days In Amer.
lea, according to the claim of some
Canadians. Wheat -four substitutes
are not produced in Canada hence the
absence of a fifty-fifty rule there.
9 Farmers have been ordered to
market their surplus wheat, just the
same as American farmers bave been
ordered to do.
