WheatIess Days Gone, Too,
in Private Homes for
Thirty Days
1T DOESN'T APPLY
TO PUBLIC PLACES

There win be no meatless days OF
meals for the next thirty days.
Wheatless meals and days In private
homes are now optional with the cltl-
zen. but in all hotels and restaurant,
and boarding houses or other public
eating places the wheatless meals will
be rigidly enforced.
Proprletors Of leading hotels OF the
country have pledged to serve no more
wheat products Of any character In their
establ hments until the next harvest.
These are the important Developments
occurring In the Food Administration
circles In the past twenty-four hours.
Through their action the hot linen Of
the country have placed themselves on
a b gh level Of patriotism not alone
with this government but with those
abroad. The decision to do so was
cached at a conference held at Wash
ngton yesterday at which Ernest 6.
Iaite, Of the Hotel dupont, represented
Delaware as a delegate.
In commenting on the use Of wheat In
public eating places, the Food Admlnls-
tration states that the light Of publicity
will be turned on establishments and
citizens that violate the rules. Clh-
zens upon whom the ban Of wheatless
meals has been removed temporarily
are requested 10 eat but six pounds Of
wheat flour or wheat products a month
Federal Food Administrators in all
States were given telegraphlc orders
today to enforce the program through
inspection and Investigation. Where
violations are reported the administra-
/ tors are instructed to hold hearings
which must be open 70 the public and
