12 NEW RULES
 FOR SAVING FOOD
All Public Eating Places Come Under More Dras- tic Regulations, Be-
 ginning Oct. 21.

Washington, Oct. IA = All public eating places are to be placed under strict regulation by the Food Adminis- tration on Oct. 21 in a campaign to eliminate waste and save foodstuffs. The restrictions will be voluntary, but any evasion will result in compul- sorry enforcement of the 12 rules an- nounced.
 The new rules are more stringent than any heretofore announced and cover the serving of practically all es- sential foodstuffs. As approximately 9,000,0 900 persons take their meals in public eating places, it is believed that the saving will be large. The new regulations, Herbert Hoover, the Food Administrator, said today, will carry into effect the recent announcement of the Food Adminis- tration that, in fulfilling the American promise to the Allies to send them 17,5O0,000 tons of food this year, the public eating places would be called upon to undertake in many particu- lars more strict program than last year."
