12 NEW RULES
 FOR SAVING FOOD.
All Public Eating Places Come Under More Dras- tic Regulations, Be-
 ginning Oct. 2l.

washington, Oct. -14 - All pubic eating places are to be placed under strict regulation by the Food Adminis- tration on Oct. 21 in a campaign to eliminate waste and save foodstuffs.
