"Tell Me What You
Eat and I'll Tell You
What You Are"

This old saying has a special applica-
ton today.
You can Judge ones patriotism by
what he eats.
Long before the United States en-
gagged in the war many families in every
community modified their table sup
plies. They did this because their hearts
were touched by the distress of Europe's
starving millions, and they voluntarily
INDUCED less that others might have
more.
Now, in the midst of the greatest
struggle this country ever knew, you
and your neighbors in every city block
and in every township throughout the
length and breadth of the United States
and its possessions are expressly asked
by federal authorities to eat sparingly
of several staple foods such as wheat.
This because your country needs more
wheat for war purposes.
Conservation, which was voluntary
year ago, is necessary now.
Can you imagine patriotic citizen ig-
noring this request?
Food conservation doesn't require sac
rifice. 1t merely requires discrimination
-thoughtfulness- No one wants
you to eat less than you need to eat.
Instead of using products made of wheat
flour only, indulge in the luxury of
bread, biscuits and cakes made of wheat
flour containing 209o corn.
Now, corn makes excellent food, and
everybody in this country likes it. But
corn isn't needed in Europe so much as
wheat. Therefore every kernel of corn
consumed here at home releases just so
many grains of wheat for our soldiers
and our Allies abroad
Think of this when you bake or buy
bread. Discuss it with your grocer and
your baker. Let everyone know just
where you stand on this question.
The Ismert-Hincke Milling Company
is applying every effort, every mill facil-
ity and every bushel of grain in it's ele-
vators to the needs and purposes of our

country. AS a measure for furthering
the governments war plans we have
perfected and are now marketing Con-
servation Flour. This is not 'war
flour" 1t is mixed flour possessing
exceptional merit. 1t exactly meets the
needs of the government and the people
at this stage of the war. Conservation
Flour is made of wheat and corn only.
1t provides for the saving of the right
percentage of wheat if everyone does his
duty.
Conservation Flour is a white flour.
Despite the portion of fine corn it con-
tains, it bakes white just like high
patent. Conservation Flour is a distinct
success in baking fine white bread, bis
cults, pastry, etc. It makes a splendid
cake and from every standpoint proves
a delightful, wholesome and economical
change.
Conservation Flour should be in every
home. Those who are using it like it.
Every time you purchase Conservation
l. lOu1 ul0CC1Q III CAPCiiSlNO WIlC1C 1lOu1
you do something important toward
helping the United States and our allies
win the war. A family which would dis
regard the country's needs and persist in
using flour made of wheat exclusively
at this time would be judged disloyal and
a supporter of our enemies.
The Ismert-Hincke Milling Company
has no selfish interest in recommending
Conservation Flour in place of flour
made entirely of wheat. Such changes
in established trade are expensive. The
only purpose in mind is to support the
efforts of the U. S. Food Administration
in the most effective way at our COM
mand by milling and marketing the kind
of flour best suited to conserve wheat
and satisfy consumers.
The grocer who prefers to sell Conser-
walton Flour and the housewife who pre-
fers to use Conservation Flour are CO.
operating in an important branch of war
work.
Let the use of Conservation Flour be
one of your acts of loyalty to the Nation,
and, incidentally a direct benefit to
yourself. Let anyone judge your pa
triotism by what you eat.

known that the New York Yacht
Club had declined the challenge OF

Cup for 1919. When the news of the
challenge first came to the club IL
was greeted coidly. The members did
no feel hat they were ready for such
4 big event at a time when America
and all the rest Of the world was
busy with problems hat had grown
out of the war. 1t was felt that Sir
Thomas had shown poor Judgment in
sending his challenge even before real
peace terms had been signed M
even before the big guns over there
had had a chance to grow cold.
The deed of gift of the Americas
Cup stipulates that the challenger
must give the defender ten months
notice. In declining tho challenge
for 1919 the New York Yacht Club is
within its rights and the conditions
OF the deed Of gift. h challenge
-wss received only yesterday anJ ten
months notice would mean hal the
races would have to be held late in

chosen, but 10 did not choose to do so,
