USE LESS wEEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
US for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market Of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead Of 203 pounds-the nor-
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration, endeavoring to ad-
just the International food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions In this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for q smaller con-
sumption Of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatiess day each week
Tuesday. vs. will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both In overseas shipping
and In Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change in the developing situa-
ton that they may know def
nitely the part their food sac
rifices play in the world war.

LsQuarter Raised

Washington, Oct. Subscriptions
to the fourth liberty loan must aver
age more than $425,oOo,oOO daily if
the total six billion dollars is to be
raised by the close of the campaign
Oct. 10.
The half way mark in the campaign
was reached today with total sub
scriptions as reported by the federal
reserve banks to the treasury
amounting to only $1,323, ,716,950.
Eleven working days Of the cam
paign yet remains In the eleven
days that have passed, slightly more
than $120,000, 900 worth of bonds were
sold daily Campaign officials today
reiterated the warning against al
lowing the German peace proposals
to lessen the efforts OF the workers
or the ardor OF the public. At no
other time. it was said. should the
American people show more plainly
their full hearted support Of the war.
In a message flashed by order of
Secretary Daniels today to every
ship and to every naval station, Vice
Admiral Sims called upon the men
of the navy to subscribe to the loan.
This rather poor showing is at
tributed partly to the increasing in
reference of the influenza epidemic
with campaign plans. AS far west
as Kansas City and as far south as
Atlanta, mass meetings and motion
picture theaters have been closed,
