people to place every grain they can save into stroage as against possible bad years ahead; in consequence there should be no anticipation of unlimited wheat bread until the war is over. | Some of the most inconvenient re- strictions can no doubt be modified with the arrival of a large harvest, but if we are honest with ourselves we will maintain restrictions requir- ing the use of some substitutes, both domestic and commercial; we will con. tinue the requirement. of high milling extraction and the elimination of the non-essential use of waste in flour and bread.
 It is worth remembering the famine in Egypt eight thousand years ago was saved by. late governmental fore sight and it does not require any illim- mating dream to anticipate that so long as the war lasts with it's increas- ing drafts for soldiers and munition workrs, the world will steadily pro- duce less food.

HOOVER, U. s. FOOD
 ADMINISTRATOR
 APPEALS TO PEOPLE

Recent press dispatches widely
 circulated through the country have given the wholly false impression that there is no longer need for rigorous
 conservation of wheat and flour. The
 Food Administration declares that
 every aspect of the wheat situation,
 10th present and prospective, intensi- fes the need for the greatest possi-
 ble limitation in the American con- sumption of wheat and wheat products
 If present restrictions should be in the
 slightest degree relaxed it would re-
 suit in serious want for the people of Europe before the new crop can reach 1 the market.
 The Food Administration estimate
 Of the position on the first of June in-
 dicates total available supply until the new harvest, including the grain
 which will be avaiab ble for the farms
 in country and terminal elevators and mill elevators of about fifty-six mil
 lion (56.OO0,OO0) bushels; of this
 thirty million (3O,OOO,OOO) bushels must be exported before new wheat i is available for export if we are to
 maintain the absolutely necessary shipments to our army and the allies. That leaves about twenty-six million 1 (26,OOO, ,OOO) bushels for domestic con
 sumption for the next two months. Normal American consumption is
 something over forty million (40,OO,-
 OOO) bushels month, so that the most liberal consumption at home would
 De only one-third of normal.
 In addition to the wheat on the
 farms and in elevators there is always an indeterminate further amount in transit and in dealers hands and this can never be reckoned in with the l flour available for use for export and use at home. As matter of fact this
 stock is not actually ava1ADle since these supplies must remain constant ly in flow they remain permanent stock, the removal of which would /, later cause period of acute shortage 1 in distribution before new wheat would be available
 There is further an invlination to
 include new crop prospects with pres ent conditions, which has led to con- fusion The harvest will not be gen. erally available in flour until middle
 of August or early September, al
 though in the extreme south of it will be somewhat earlier.
 At meeting of the Federal Food Administrators in Washington yester- day. representing all forty-eight states, it was the unanimous view that even 1 if the harvest does prove abundant, it
 will be the first duty of the American

SLACKERS AMONG GERMAN
 WOMEN OF WEALTH

In commL nication addressed
 ITO the Women of the Upper Classes" in the Kol nische Zeitung, the writer brings out the importance of complete mobilization of the ener- g;es of all women" during war.
 Let no one interpo SC the objection that a person who in this, the fourth year of the war, has yet to gain a comprehension of the extremities in which our people are laboring, who still places personal well-being above concern for the common good, is ire trievably lost for great object" says the writer. Certainly, every German woman, the wealthy woman most of all, ought at the start to have com prehended her duty toward her coun- try in this fearful war Of starvation, as we'll as the divers aspects of the policy of holding out and conducted herself accordingly. However, it is precisely in a mode of life which long, standing culture and inherited wealth have rendered luxurious that force of habit plays so important a role, and herein may well lie an explanation for the disastrous retention of her com forts by the woman of this type. With this attitude there must be merciless interference.
 Because the educated middle class is scarcely able longer to furnish the necessary reserve contingents, we must have recourse to the wom of the upper strata of society. Their strength is to a greater or less degree unexhausted; they are relieved of do- mestic responsibilities by many ser wants Thanks to their large financial resources they are, even without re- sorting to subterfuges, immune from undernourishment. For the same req son they are in a position to restore their strength by travel. and because of their larger wardrobes to risk rather than the women of the lower classes, using up their clothes in war work
 Thus all considerations favor the enlistment of the service of those women who have hitherto lived at their ease (with the exception. of course, of those who are bound by the duties of motherhood)

pecially the mothers, in the prepara' tion of balanced diets for themselves and families from the materials local ly available. In ordsr to encourage and aid the people to supplement their
 ordinary diet of rice and fish with vegetables, the Health Service has planned a model garden of vegetables carefully selected for their value in furnishing the substances needed to balance the ordinary Filipino diet. Because of the generally poor nutri- tion of the Filipino people and the scarcity of food the world over, this feature of the work is particularly important at the present time"
