FAIR PRICE LISTS TO
MAINTAIN PRICE LEVEL
JOSEPH T. SIMS, Attorney,
Wabeno, Wis.

Through the medium of standard
lied flair price lists" for the range
of prices the wholesaler should pay,
the range of prices for the retailer
and the range of prices for the consul
mer, to be published in practically
every county, hamlet, town and city
in the country, the Wisconsin Food
Administration expects to protect the
consumer from unreasonable price
advance, and by bringing prices up to
a uniform level, the Food Administra-
ton will also protect the patriotic
merchant from the INSCRIPTIONS deal
er who has attempted to take advan-
tage of the situation.
In every community, price inter-
preting committees, composed OF rep
resentatives of the wholesalers, re-
tailers and consumers will ascertain
fair retail prices on the basic COM
modities. The published lists will
give the range of maximum selling
prices showing a reasonable low price,
which will represent charges that
should rule in cash and carry" stores,
and a high price, representing fair
charge at credit and delivery shops.
Retail price reporters are being ap-
pointed in every county in the United
States who will keep close check
upon charges made at the stores and
report to the local administrator all
dealers not keeping within the limits
in the flair price lists"

Iceland Mills Potato Flour.

Iceland is prepa ring to handle her
excess potato crop by installing pota-
to milling machinery SO that the po-
tato starch can be used as partial
substitute for wheat. Shortage of ship
ping with consequent curtailment OF
imports has made it impossible to
maintain her wheat supplies.
Next year the potato crop in Wis
consin will have greater value
through the increased demand for pO-
tato starch for food and FOR CONNER
cial work in the stiffening of textiles
and paste for paper hangers besides
the consumption in ordinary cookery
At present the only potato flour mill
in this state is in Polk county.

FOOD NOTES
Army Saving and Reclamation
of Food.

The Sanlmies save what we save for
them. All food left from the mess"
will be sent to the recently appointed
division of Conservation and Reclama-
ton where classifactions, separations,
and disposition of wastes from food
will be made. 1t will also have charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp, cantonment and general
hospital. Internedt aliens, drafted men
disqualified for overseas service, con-
scientious DIRECTORS and military pris-
oners will do active duty for this agri
cultural service. Not only is the army
keeping step with the times, but it is
blazing the trail for conservation and
reclamation of our potential resources.
The thoroughness of this new work
will out-German the much boasted
German efficiency.

War Won't End Food Crisis.

1t will take eighteen months after
the war to demobilize the armies now
in France. After that, tens of thou
sands of men will be kept busy putting
France, England, and Italy back into
something like normal shape. So for
the next two years, even if speedy vic
tory is ours, there will be a vast pop
ulation dependent for food upon US
So whether the news from the front
be good or bad, this country must not
slacken production and conservation
one whit but ward off state of affairs
which could be worse than war itself.

Wheat Not the Best Grain.

is a necessity; but it is really only a
luxury. Perhaps the housewives pride
in her Saturday baking is lessened,
since wheat makes the incest, whitest
loaf, but she nourishes her family just
as we'll on bread made with other
eral salt, fat, nor fuel than the other
cereals, and as far as comparative
tests are concerned in animals, it is
very far from the best one. Since it is
easier to ship, we can let the Allies
have it without decreasing the nutri
tional value of our own diet.

Use Syrup in Canning.

Sugar in canning does not aid in
keeping fruit although it does improve
it's flavor. While the State Food Ad
ministration has granted rs lbs. at a
time to home Gamers according to
the certificate system, it should be re
membered that commercial syrup can
take the place of part or the entire
amount of sugar in preserving.
In place of 1/3 cup of sugar and 2/3
of water, reverse and use 2/3 cup of
syrup and l. Is cup of water in making
the syrup in which fruits are canned

CAN WITHOUT SUGAR
Cold Pack Method Well Adapted
For Putting Up Fruits
and Juices.
MAKE JELLY IN WINTER.

We have become so accustomed to
the liberal use of sugar that many OF
us have forgotten that vegetables,
fruits and fruit juices may be put uI
for future use without necessarily us.
ing any sugar except that which is
present in the vegetables or fruit it,
self
Although we may have twenty-five
pounds at time for canning purposes
on the certificate plan, we will be do
ing a patriotics service by putting off
the jelly making and preserving until
the new crops come in, and more of
our boats are launched which we can
send to more distant parts for sugar.
If we put up all of cur fruits and fruit
juices by the cold pack method or the
open kettle method, not using sugar in
any way, we will have no difficulty
with the process. When we wish to
make preserves, jams, or jellies from
these canned fruits and juices we can
add the right amount of sugar and fin
ish as needed for future consumption.
Sweetness Lost In Canning.
Sugar used in putting up acid fruits
is changed by the acid into another
type of sugar which is less sweet, and
SO we lose the sweetening strength in
cooking the sugar with the fruit in the
canning process.
The reason for making jelly as it is
needed is that with some fruit juices
on long standing crystals are formed
in the jelly. When jelly is made a few
days before being used, which it is
perfectly possible to do when the juice
is canned and put away for winter use,
the jelly is fresher, sweeter and no
crystals will have formed There is
then practically no loss from spoilage
and fruit juice may be had also for
davoring. jelly making, or sherbets as
needed.
Saves Labor and Storage Space.
The storage of fruit and fruit juices
is more easily solved when they are
in quart jars, and the labor is also less
in the heat of summer. The saving of
fuel is greater, too, as in winter the
jelly can be made while there is a
constant fire in the kitchen range.
In summer canning limit the use of
sugar until the canned products are
prepared for immediate use.

Share OUR SUGAR
With The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetenin9
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation--in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
I'm the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration OF two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu neither In
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration Is pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied cOun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to a hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England 1t is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce Of sugar In
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have Sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 100000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find it.
Italy Has Estate Sugar."
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Sacchatine Is permitted to be sold
and used as substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
estate Sugar" which is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
q great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents a pound; France,
II cents; Italy, 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at ~ cents.

Of these. cereals our shipments OF
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1S to Allied destinations were !:
Wheat 100000 bushels and Of rye
100000 bushels, a total of 144,90O,.
900 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 were:
Wheat 1876, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 1877 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore about 141, 000,.
600 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In adj
ditiOn to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
emf upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly if we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1861
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200, 100000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home Loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year. however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
TO Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
81 am sure" Mr. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, that all the
millions of our people, agricultural as
we'll as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel q very
definite satisfaction that in a year of
universal food shortages in the north.
ern hemisphere all of those people
joined together against Germany have
come through into sight of the coming
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods of hardship.
at is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people-the
homes, public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural popula-
tions-in assessing credit for these re-
suits. but no one will deny the domi-
nant part Of the American women"

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last

ports to the Allies were 2, 1873, 100000

EAT BEANS TO SAVE BEEF.

The day when beans shall
take the first place has arrived
now that there is a shortage of
beef. No longer shall they be
relegated to ironing day, but be
served for Sunday dinner.
Beans are really the most pa
triotic food at present and
should be honored as such since
they furnish a splendid substi-
tute for meat. Hoover has
warned us of the urgent need
of the army and Allies for beef,
we know that the present sup
ply is insufficient, and reasoning
proves that the only way to Sc
cure an adequate export until
more animals come to market is
to eliminate beef from our diet.
Let beans take its place!
