5. Manufacturers using wheat prod.
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours, and meals, corn,

Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever. except very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so In perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use OF
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies FOR
those parts OF the community less able
to adapt themselves to SO large pro-
portion OF substitutes
In order that we shall he able to

ton of the public by further llmlta-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time 10
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Unti then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
trades.

II tho peace conference insists that II be
neutraliT"d.
1t is explained that such n federation
would have been formed before the war
had II not been for the Hungarian agri-
cultural party. which throttl"d agricul-
tural commerce with Rumnnia and Ser
hia, particularly Serbia. This caused
agitation which played Il large part in
events leading TO the assassination OF
Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
II is pointed ont that such fedora
tion is demanded by the internal trade
OF the former empire since CZccho-Sln-
vakia needs 4 market for its coal iron,
sugar. glass and lea thor. while German
Austria has industrial organizations IN
use these raw products. Vienna Is also
4 banking center, On tho other hand
tho Hungarian:I and JuEo-Slavs will
have fOudstuffs TO sell 20 tho other re-
pubics.
Some leading Gcrmnn-Austrians de-
clare that tn" organization of such a
federation should he settled Mt the
peace congress. because. they say. it
would hc impossible I" secure mn agree
mcnt among the republics II they were
permitted to settle it among Themselves.
