have available a surplus of potatoes.
We also have in the spring months
a surplus of milk, and we have am
pie corn and oats for human con-
umptiOn. The drain on rye and bar
ley as substitutes has already great
ly exhausted the supply of those
grains. To effect the needed saving
of wheat we are wholly dependent
upon the voluntary assistance of the
American people, and we ask that the
following rules shall be observed:
First: Householders to use not to
exceed a total of one and one-half
pounds per week of wheat products
per person. This means not more than
one and three-fourths pounds of Vic
tory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes, and about
one-half pound of cooking flour, mac
aroni, crackers, pastry, pies. cake,
wheat breakfast cereals, all combin-
ed Second: Public eating places
and clubs to observe two wheatless
days per week, Monday and Wednes-
day, as at present In addition, they
are not to serve in the aggregate "A
total of more breadstuffs, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pie, cakes, and wheat
breakfast cereals containing a total
/ of more than two ounces of wheat
flour, to any one guest at one meal.
| No wheat products are to be served
unless specially ordered Public eat
! ing houses and eating establishments
are not to buy more than six pounds
of wheat products per month per
guest, thus conforming with limita-
tons requested of the household.
Third: Retailers are to sell not
more than one-eighth of a barrel of
flour to any town consumer, at any
one time, and not more than one-quar-
ter of barrel to any country Gus
toner at any one time. and in no case
to sell wheat products without the
sale of an equal weight of other GER
calls. Fourth We ask the bakers
and grocers to reduce the value OF

three-quarters pound loaf, where one
pound was sold before, and cores.

FINLAND EMPIRE. MAKES
BIG GRAIN PREPARATIONS

PORTLAND, ORE, March 24.-One
hundred and twenty-five grain ele-
yators are being rushed to completion
in Washington, forty in Oregon and
thirty-five in Idaho. Most of them are
being built by wheat ranchers, though
in some cases railroads and commune
ties are giving financial assistance.
Individual farmers and rancher5 are
also building storage bins for the tenn
porary holding of grain after it is
harvested and threshed. These indy
iidual accumulations of grain will then
be hauled to the grain elevators by
auto trucks. and from the elevators
will be moved to tidewater by the
railroads. The grain will be handled
in bulk throughout, and in this way
the expense and loss of time in sack
ing will be avoided. This is the con-
tribution of the great finland EN-
pire" to war efficiency" and the ma
tons grain supply.

Gains Is Pounds

Texas Man Suffered for Years and
Had Rheumatism SO Bad Couldn't
Get Shoes On.

When j tell you l have been reliev-
ed of three years awful suffering and
have actually gained twenty-five
pounds in weight, besides, you can
readily understand why I'm so strong
for Tanlac," was the remarkable
statement made by Tom McClennon,
of 1913 Grama Street Ell Paso, Texas,
recently.
Il had number of troubles" he
continued land it's the first time in
several years 1 have been rid of rheu-
matism. Before l began taking this
Tanlac my legs and feet were swol-
len all the time and sometimes
couldn't get my shoes on. The pain
was something awful and | was so
nervous and miserable / didn't know
what ii was to get a good nights
sleep. l had no appetite and nearly
everything l would eat disagreed
with me. My food would sour and
the gas would press on my heart so
could scarcely breathe. Besides my
terrible suffering l had an awful
tired feeling and would wake up in
the mornings feeling so no account 1
could hardly get out of bed.
Il tried every kind of treatment and
medicine / heard of but got no relief
until I began taking Tanlac, but three
feel like a brand new man through
and through. / have never in all my
life had such a ravenous appetite and
you may know everything agrees with
me or l could never have gained so
much in weight. l sleep all night
long without waking and my nerves
are as steady as a clock. All the
swelling and pain has left my. feet
and legs entirely and I'm never
bothered any more with gas on my
stomach, shortness of breath or other
signs of indigestion. You may count
me among the many Tanlac boosters
and you are welcome to this statement,
which I hope will be the cause of
others finding relief

CHICAGO, March 24.-To be re-

been the experience of Donald M.
Ewing. a Chicago newspaper man.
Ewing first tried to enlist in the Ma

but was turned down.
Then he tried the regulars. Again
he was rejected. Next he tried the
navy, but no use, they couldn't see

eff we are to furnish the allies with
the necessary proportion of wheat TO
maintain their war bread from now
until the next harvest, and this is
military necessity, we must reduce
our monthly consumption to twenty
one million bushels a month, as
against our normal consumption Of
about forty-two million bushels, or
fifty per cent of our normal consump-
ton, reserving a margin for distrlbu-
ton to the army and for special cases.
This leaves for general consumption
approximately one and one-half
pounds of wheat products weekly per
person. Many of our consumers are
dependent upon bakers bread. Such
bread must be durable and therefore
requires a larger proportion of wheat
products than cereal breads baked in
the household. Our army and navy
require a full allowance. The we'll
TODD in our population can make
greater sacrifices in the consumption
of wheat products than can the poor.
In addition our population in the ag-

cereals are abundant, are more skill

these other cereals than the crowded
city and industrial populations. With

PLAN UNIVERSAL DELIVERIES
 FOR LOCAL STORES
Retail Merchants Bureau Working on
 Economy Recommendations.

The retail merchants bureau of the Chamber of Cemeree, through a spe- cial committee, are striving to work out a practical and universal delivery plan that will meet the approval of the commercial economy board of the state council of defense and co-operate in reducing the number of men and the amount of equipment used, in order that both men and equipment may be released for military and other ser- vice essential to the welfare of the county.
 The Chamber of Commerce has made the following recommendations:
 1. The curtailment of deliveries
 g. The elimination of special deliv- cries
 The retail merchants bureau. after fully and quite freely discussing the subject has arrived at the conclusion that to properly install such a system in Norwich it would first be necessary to have pledges from many leading firms that they were interested in a centralization plan for handling all re- tail deliveries in the town Such as- surances have been given, and in this issue appears an advertisement asking for bids from firms or individuals in terested in establishing a central de- livery system in Norwich. This looks like progress, and there is no question
 but that one system handling all de- liveries for the merchants can perform this work far more economically and with greater despatch than under the present system now in vogue, where each merchant maintains his own de- livery system.
 In Ann Arbor Mich, all deliveries are being made by one central agency and the merchants are decidedly unan- innous in favor of the idea. It places this most perplexfng part of the b7er- | chants business in the hands of a specialist in this line and allows the ! merchant to concentrate his entire time to the more important matters of
 salesmanship and store management We only hope that the new system
 will be taken over by a resident of Norwich and that outside capital will
 not be forced to come in to show
 Norwich the way.
