4ooveRisM LAW FOR KITCHEN.
Pomerene-Lever Bill Gives Authority
to Impose Restrictions to Con-
serve Food

Washington.-The Food Administra-
tion's new sweeping measure to carry
compulsory conservation into every
kitchen In the country has been intro
duced in both houses of Congress.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio introduced
it in the Senate, and Representative
Lever of South Carolina in the House.
The Pomerene-Lever bill gives au-
thority to the President to be exer-
cised through the Food Administration
to impose any restrictions necessary
to conserve food upon any group of
persons or individuals. His powers
in this respect would be practically
unlimited and the most drastic penal
ties are provided to carry them into
effect. The bills would amend the
food law so as to empower the Food
Administration to compel observance
of wheatless and meatless days, or
any other measures 1t prescribes.
