AS the need Of food conservation
becomes more imperative the restric-
tons are becoming moro stringent,
This is as It should be. Voluntary saw

a reduced consumption OF vital arti.

enforced purchase Of substitutes Will
encourage the use Of other foods Tor

have lately ordered wheat md that
the substitute rule calls for some
elaborate planning IN order to use the
substituted foods. Potatoes, corn
meal and oat meal will occupy .
place on the table which they never
before enjoyed. Wheat bread ana
pastries will be less familiar sights.
The latest regulation will achieve q
material saving in wheat thru 1orcInS
the use Of other foods. Housewives
should be alert and resourceful how
ever in order that there shall be no
waste Of the substitute foods. The
housekeeper who orders wheat in the
same quantities as formerly viii find
tina. the pound for pound Of substitute
will stock her pantry to Overlooking.
To waste sny Of these foods is cr!mi-
nal. The government is calling upon
the women to find ways In which to
use the substituted foods. The Journal
has published recipes which give sug-
gestions for using them. The primary
object Of the government IN enforcing
the latest regulation Is to reduce wheat
consumption. Every woman owes 1t TO
the nation in this crisis to purchase as
little OF the staff Of life" as she can.

About a year ago this spring pota-

potatoes can be had for nearly 81 per
bushel. Why? Plant more potatoes

an army into this war.

When potatoes were scarce at 81 per

duce a surplus in one crop, but we
did. and that should give Us optimism

Some Lost Motion.

A Philadelphia mathematician has
figured 1t out that the telephone COM
panies lose 125 hours work every day
through the use Of the word please"
by all operators and patrons. Another
has discovered that the froth on the
beer pays the freight But as yet no

smoke and forcing 1t through the nose
instead OF blowing 1t from the mouth.

tons VIII awaken us to the Importance
of this food. 1t should emphasize the
need of this grain in European coun-
tries. Every women knowns that some
wheat is necessary in the kitchen. IL
is better that America deny herself in
a minor degree than that England and
France lack this fundamental Of life.
The war is going to be Won in the
kitchens of America. The housewife
is called upon to wage a drive this
spring to keep our allies properly fed.
Save wheat is the battle cry.

War Industries Board Says Entire

Washington, July 12.-The War Industries Board authorizes the fol- lowing:
 A committee representing the manufacturers of metal heds and supplies met in conference with the Priorities Commissioner and repre- sentatives of other divisions, of the War Industries Board when the fol- lowing conclusions were reached:
 l. That the quantity of steel used in the manufacture of metal beds can and should be substantially re- duced as war measure by cutting down the height of the frames both head and foot; by standardizing the SECS of tubes, eliminating odd sizes; by limiting the diameter of tubes to two inches; and by the standardiza - ton of models.
 ,. That the manufa cture of brass beds should be discontinued during the war, as they are a luxury. and as the brass is needed to meet the war requirements.
 3. That the demand by the govern ment for beds for cantonments mo civilization camps, transports, fol use on the West front, for use in con nection with housing programs, must be met, and reasonable supply pro- vided to meet the requirements due to the shifting of labor to wal ] industrial centers.

ARGENTINE FAVORS
 CAUSE OF ALLIES
Envoy From South America
 LaudS U, s. War Motives

New York. July 12.--The sympathy CT the great bulk of the Argentine hatlon is strongly with the Allies and While President Irigoyen's govern ment is still nominally neutral, this neutrality has on many occasions been given a direction decidedly ia vorable to the Allies, according to Dr, George Mitre, editor of La Ma e1on of Buenos Aires, one of the most influential newspapers of the Latin world. Dr. Mitre, who is descendant of General Bartolome Mitre, the Argentine statesman who was president of the republic in the sixties, arrived in New York yes terday on a business trip.
 During my long trip from Buenos Aires,' he said, 'I have had com paratively little news as to what was going on, so l cannot speak fully of political developments in Argentina I am politically opposed to President Irigoyen and am not personally ac- quainted with him, so I cannot speak of his personal policies except as they are manifested by events that are known to all. But, as 3. matter of personal opinion, 1 think the pres ident's attitude and that of his po- litical supporters does not at all mean indifference to the allied cause.
 Argentine Friendly.
 "Argentinas friendship to the Al lies has been shown in many ways. The demonstration of friendship to the United States during the stay of an American squadron last year were very notable; our financial and eco- homie policy has been friendly to the Allies; there have been many demon~ strations in congress, one of which I read about only a day or two ago in the American papers. when the chamber of deputies voted to make July l a national holiday. Many dep uties of the presidents party appear to have voted for this demonstration of sympathy with France and as for the report that the president was op- posed to such action, he did not veto the bill as he might have done had he desired. Moreover, the president $ speech on the occasion of the recep- tion of the Belgian minister not long ago was an expression which was ractically beyond the limits of tech niCal neutra lity.
