FOOD TALK

The food administrator in Mini3eso-
da compares the Allied rations with
those of the U. S. and declares that
dhe American people will be astonish-
Nd at the result Of this investigation,
which was made to satisfy repeated
inquiry as to whether or not France
sand England were conserving. :.
The English meat ration is one lb.
aUf bacon and one pound of meat other
Than bacon per week per man. The
sugar ration is one-half pound per
week. Edible fats, 5 ounces. Bread
us not rationed.
The French ration of bread is ten
sand half ounces per week per head
Meat is not rationed but seven ounces
Df meat may be bought on Tuesday
On Wednesday,, Thursday and Friday
mo meat at all can be bought or serv-
ed. Fat is not rationed.
Canada's use of sugar is restricted
TO 1R pounds per month per person
1nd violation is punishable by fine
MI $100 to $1,000 or three years i'm
Trisonment. The Canadian Food
Bulletin published a request that So
.cial customs be so changed as to con-
form to the needs of the food situa-
4iDn which is serious. No extra meals
served; banquets or food served at So
cial functions should be served at a
meal hour and take the place Of a

meal. They should also be along a
strict conservative line and he who
eats more than he needs is serving
the enemy. A soda fountain license
in Canada must file monthly state
ment showing the quantity of sugar
used by him in the manufacture of
candy. His supply from May 1@to
August was restricted to SO per
cent Of the average monthly quantity
used during the year 1917. He can
not use any white flour in candy or
in making ice cream, more than 10
per cent of fats whether of animal or
vegetable origin or more than six
pounds of sugar to 8 gallons of ice
cream.
The Kaiser's cause is being liter
ally canned in this country. Proof of
this may be found in almost every
basement. Already thousands of cans
have been put up by the cold pack
method.
The government has not only fur
nished complete instructions but also
instructors have been sent out over
the state through every county teach
ing the housewives, who in turn are
enthusiastically helping each other
and passing on the literature. Those
who are faithful to follow instruction
to the letter, have a perfectly canned
product. Community canning meet
ings are being held in Grand Forks
and other towns Of the state. Busy
women are taking advantage of this
means of getting vegetables canned.
Many people who have more greens,
beans, beets, ets., than they need are
contributing the surplus to this kitch-
en-. Women expert in canning or
willing to learn how contribute por-
tion of time and at the close of the
meeting the product is put on sale at
a nominal price.

cookEWILE is POPULAR

Meredith and Levinson, after stay.
ing away from the Old Post Hospital
for three weeks, have at last return
ed. After being interviewed by re-
porter they confessed that Cooke
vile, Tennessee. has more pretty
girls than any other town of its size.
They also expressed their apprecia-
ton for the many courtesies which
the people of Cookeville extended to
them. The name of Cookeville has
become so popular that the rest Of
the boys hope that they, too, may
have the opportunity Of visiting that
town.
Messrs. Dorch and Gibson. the we'll
known and junior members of the
medical corps. wish to go on record
as having endorsed the above state
ment. They hope that this war may
terminate quickly so that they may
renew the pleasant acquaintances
which they formed in Cookeville.-

cURTAILMENT OF NoN-WAR
CONSTRUCTION

The war industries board asks the
state council of defense to act as its
representatives in passing upon pro-
posed construction, in order that all
building which is not absolutely nee
essary may be stopped. This is part
of the new plan of the war Industries
board by which permits from the
board will be required for construc-
ton projects, as specified in Circular
No. 21. You will note that permits
projects, with few exceptions relat-
ing principally to government work.
This plan has been adopted only
because of the imperative necessity
of conserving labor materials and
capital for war purposes. The pro.
cedure will be as follows:
l. The person interested in a con
struction project will apply, with a
full statement of the facts under
oath, to the appropriate local repre-
sentative of the state council of de-
fense.
2. The local representative OF the
state council will then investigate
the necessity of the proposed con-
struction and transmit its recon-
merdation, with summary of the
facts to the state council for review
8. The state council, or it's approx.
ed committee, will review the case.
(a) If the state council decides in
favor of the construction, 1t will at
once send its recommendation. with
full statement of all facts. to the
non-war construction section OF the
priorities division of the war indus
tries board. The non-war construc-
tion section will then grant or with
hold the permit and notify the state
council of defense, and also the indi-
vidual concerned of its action.
(b) If the state council decides
against the proposed construction. it
will notify the person concerned that
his project has been disapproved.
4. The state council will report
monthly to the non-war construction
section all applications submitted to
it, including those decided adversely.
Anyone contemplating, or at pres
ent, undertaking any construction
building or improvements. will take
due notice Of this order and file ap-
plication in accordance Herewith be-
fore making contracts or undertak-
ing the work

CHATTANOOGA

have often wondered If the read
ers of the Herald would care to have
little news from Chattanooga.
have been an interested reader of
the Herald for several years, and ]
cannot remember of ever seeing any
letters written from Chattanooga.
l am only little school kid yet in
my teens, but / certainly do enjoy
reading the letters of the grown ups,
especially those from G. w. l only
wish he would sign his full name.
/ once thought Cookeville was the
grandest place on the globe, but as
years rolled by / discovered there
were few that would almost equal
it. However, Cookeville is a growing
little town, but it depends too much
on the school sissies, and not enough
on the working man. It takes manu-
featuring plants and the working man
to make town. Therefore. if the
citizens would exert as much effort
to get manufacturing plants as they
do schools, think the town woun
be much better off.
