BULLETIN NO. %.

The Following is the new conserva-
ton ruling made by the Federal
Food Administration at Washington:
"Since the drain of Rye and Bar
ley has almost exhausted the sup
ply of these grains we are wholly de-
pendent on the voluntary assistance
of the American People and we ask
that the following rules shall be OBJ
served:
1. Householders to use not to ex-
coed one and one-half pounds of
wheat flour per person during each
week. This means that not more than
one and three-fourths pounds of Vic
tory bread shall be used with the re-
quired percentage of substitutes and
about one-half of a pound of cook
ing flour, pastries, pies, cakes and
ect.
2. Public eating places and clubs
to observe two Wheatless Days, Mon
days and Wednesdays, In addition
thereto, not to serve in the aggre-
gate total of more bread stuffs,
macaroni, pastry. pies, cakes, wheat
cereals, all together to amount to
two ounces of wheat -four to each
guest at each meal. No wheat pro-
ducts to be used unless specially
ordered. Public eating places not to
buy more than six pounds of wheat
products for each ninety meals serv-
ed, thus conforming with the limita-
tions requested of the househo lders.
8. Retailers to sell not more than
"a lbs. of wheat flour to town GUS
toners and As lbs. to the country
customer and In no case to sell
wheat products without the sale of
an equal weight of the other cereals.
However, thru persuasion, we re-
tain the use of the farmers crtificate.
4. Bakers and grocers are asked
that they sell the three-fourths
pound of bread wherethey sold the
one pound before
Bakers are asked not to purchase
more than 20 per cent of their aver
age monthly amount purchased in
the four months prior to March list.
5. Manufactures using wheat pro-
ducts for non-food purposes should
cease such use at once"
With the arrival of harvest we
should be able to relax such re-
strictions as the above. Until then,
we ask for the necessary patience,
sacrifice and cooperation of the dis
tributing trades.

BILLY SUNDAYISM.

"There are two CROWDS in every
church-the ruts and the antiruts."
Some people are scared to death
that somebody may do something
out of the ordinary that will keep a
sinner out of hell"
To-day the church is being as
saulted by isms and schisms and
there isn't religion enough in them to
float their dirty fallacies."
1.-THE devil is smart guy; he
never has appendicitis or peritoni-
tbs; he's always Johnny-on-the spot
Jesus Christ was a great distur-
Der in His day. He disturbed the sell
complacency of that pliable plastic
bunch of ecclesiastical crooks"
1.-THE church is all right as long as
she's in the world; she's all wrong
when the world is in her and one OF
the troubles of the church today IL
that she's joined the world"
1--WE need a panic in religion
1.-THE churches are full of sour
faced religious crebaprles that are
trying to hand God lemon"
"You can't work a shell game or
God all your life."

CATCHING Monkeys.

The well-known habit of monkeys to
initiate the actions of man is cleverly
utilized by wild-animal catchers In TAX
ing the agile, climbing creatures cap
tive. says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The hunters method is to walk
about for some time within sight of
the wild monkeys, wearing short boots.
Then the boots are taken off and gum
is placed in their bottoms, after which
the men withdraw from the scene. Be
fore long the curiosity Of the initiative
watchers in the trees gets the better of
their caution and they descend and
start to try on the boots, whereupon
they discover that the footwear cannot
be removed and, being unable to climb
are easily captured.

Stronu Negatives.

There Is one great advantage about
keeping both glass and film negatives
I'm envelopes made Of transparent pa
per-that the negative can be looked
at and identified without taking 1t
out of its envelope. More negatives
are damaged by being turned over to
find some particular one than by the
lapse of time, and the transparent en-
velope protects them from injury from
this source. A system of filing and
icataloging, by which any negative re-
quired can be found with a minimum
Of disturbance Of the others, also tends
to prevent damage. -. -

GEN. PERSHING PRAISES
AMERICAN FIGHTING MEN.

In a recent communication to Sec
rotary of War Baker, the commander
Of the American Expeditionary
Forces said:
"There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France.
They have entered this war with the
highest devotion to duty and with
no other idea than to perform these
duties as efficiently as is pos
sible. They fully realize their OBJ
legation to their own people, their
friends, and the country. A rigid
program of instruction is carried
out daily with traditional American
enthusiasm. Engaged in healthy,
interesting exercises in the open air,
with simple diets, officers and men,
like trained athletes, are ready for
their tasks. Forbidden the use of
strong drink, protecteedby strin-
gent regulations against sexual
evils, and supported by their own
moral courage, their good behavior
is the subject of the most favorable
comments, especially by our allies.
American Mothers may rest assured
that their sons are a credit to them
and to the Nation, and they may
well look forward to the proud day
when on the battle field these SPLEEN
did men will shed a new luster on
American manhood"

Government control of the rail-
roads Is the waterways opportun-
ity, says Chairman John H. Small
of the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors. To this end def
Unite plan is being worked out
whereby the improved channels
and waterways will cooperate
with the railroads in handling
freight and inland shipping. wher'
ever possible.
! President Wilson supports the
plan as do all the big department
heads. A sensational cut in the
river and harbor improvement bill,
amounting to millions, has been
followed by the order for barges
built by the government to handle
shipping.

welt could not be doing better, he said.
Progress was fine. But it was not un-
til some time later, through another
medical officer that it was, learned
that the major had performed-suc-
cessfully-an operation that would
rouse the envy of any surgeon working
under conditions of peace.
To the major it was all in the days
work. He merely was doing his duty.
Any other soldier brought to the hos

attention The story of the wounding
of Capt. Archie Roosevelt has been

saved him from being cripple has

From the field hospitals Immediately

1t was an army medical corps sur

operated on Capt. Archie Roosevelt af-
ter the former presidents son was
WOUNDED Capt. Roosevelt's arm was
badly shattered. A piece of shrapnel
went through his knee. Everyone said
the captain would have a stiff knee
the rest of his life.
But he won't.
Applying all Of his professional skill
this surgeon working in an operating
room as completely equipped as any
in a hospital at home, cut away the
crushed and torn tissues in the cap
tain's arm and leg, An operation on
the knee is always delicate. Upon the
success of this operation depended
Roosevelt's physical fitness for the
future. 1t was a triumph for this
major, who must remain unnamed. A
few minutes after it was completed,
Capt Roosevelt looked into the eyes
of a French general, heard him tell Of
the pride of France in habing such an
American fighting with her sons, and
received the Croix de Guerre. He is
now on the road to recovery.
The United Press correspondent saw
this major-surgeon shortly after the
operation was completed. He stepped
from the side of a patient whose
wounds were being dressed under his
supervision, smiling and affable.
'The captains wounds are rather Sc
rious," he said "but not fatal. 1t will
