as stick-up on the sweet girls hat was
placed horizontally, so that it tickled up and
down the face of the man who sat next to
her in the street car, until it came to rest

ear.
After the car had travelled few blocks,
the man was seen to remove from his pocket
a large jack-knife, which he proceeded to
strop on the palm of his horny hand.

USE LESS WHEAT.

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 mal.
 The United States Food Ad- mlnIstration, 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 a smaller con. sumption of breadstuffs.
 We are asked to observe only one meatless day each week. Tuesday. We 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 istratlon emphasizes that the food situation is of necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the precarlous transportation prob lem, both in overseas shipping and in America's 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 de6- nltely the part their food sac rifices play In the world war.

TAYLOR TO INVITE
 CHRISTIAN CONVENTION
FORT WORTH HAS BEEN A5AN- DoNED ON ACCOUNT OF CON
 GEsTED RAILROAD TRAFFIC.

Harrison Taylor left Sunday after noon for St Louis, to attend d meet ing of the executive committee of Christian churches, upon information that 1t had been decided not to hold the annual national convention at Ft Worth Texas, on account of the con gested condition of that city and the railroad traffic by reason of the big army encampments there. MT. Fay Tor. after conferring with the new pastor. Rev. Ray, of the church here, and Secretary Bedding of the Busi- ness Mems League decided to extend the executive committee an invitation to meet in this city, and present its advantages Ths convention is one of the largest religious gatherings of the United States, numbering from 1000 to 15000 delegates. While the offer to substitute St. Louis for Ft. Worth has been made by the commit tee pending the approval of the St Louis churches. Mir Taylor thought 1t was worth the effort to try to SC cure such large gathering for this city. The convention meets in Octo- Der at time when this city is better prepared to take care of a large mum. her of people. The convention would not only tax the full hotel capacity O. the city, but every home in the city would have to be thown open. Tht delegates pay their way and do not expect any more entertainment than any other body.

 WHEAT PROGRAM
Thousands of Retail GroCers Sup- port Food Administration

SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY
New Wheat Saving Program Demand cd - Allied Food Shortage ln- ereases-AmerIea Must
 Feed Fighters

Explaining the United States Food Administrations new 50-50 wheat reg ulations is a war time task the Ameri- can grocer has gladly shouldered. Many stores are already displaying their Food Administration wheat sav- ing pledge cards, that they have sign ed, agreeing to carry out the new wheat program.
 Each four customer is now requir- ed to buy one pound of cereal substi- tute for every pound of wheat flour. The substitute may be of one kind or assorted This 50-50 sale is made by weight and not by value of the com modities There is, of course, no reg ulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat flour at all.
 A wide variety of substitutes has been provided: Cornmeal. corn flour. edible eornstarch hominy, corn grits, barley -four, potato -four, sweet potato -four, soya bean four Feterita flour and meals, rice. rice -four, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
 Graham and whole wheat four con- stitute an exception to the national regulation. Either of these commodi- ties may be sold at the ratio of three pounds 10 five pounds of wheat flour that is, five pounds of graham or wheat four counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour.
 Mixed Hours form another excep- ton. Where any four contains 90 per cent or less of wheat 1t may be sold without any substitutes. Where the -four is mixed at the rate of 60 per cent. wheat and 70 per cent. of other ingredients an additional 20 per cent. of substitutes must be purchased by the consumer.
 Where necessity is shown specially prepared infants and invalld's food containing -four may be sold.
 That the approved substitutes may he assorted is fact many grocers and housewives overlooked for time. For instance, if customer wishes to buy a 24 pound sack of -four the nec- essarF substitutes might be assorted as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds corn grits, pounds; rice, 4 pounds buck Wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, pound {; hominy, pounds; rolled oats, pounds.
 None of the substitutes should be considered as waste purchase. There are many household uses for each The eight pounds of cornmeal can be made into cornbread, corn muf. fins or used in the baking of wheat bread
 Cornstarch is useful in making GUS tard, thickenlng gravy or may be used in cake baking. Corn grits fried like mpsh forms a delicious dish, or it may be used ;H baking corn bread. Rolled oats are used largely as breakfast DOT ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in making muffins.
 Buskwheat flour may be used in bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of the wheat flour, hut is especially choice in the form of buckwheat cakes for breakfast
 With II wheatleSs meals needed each week in America to provide enough wheat for the allies, the Fooh Administration helievcs the substitutes will all he used fo advantage
