Washington, March 3.-Tem-
porary suspension of the meat
less meal and of the special re-
strictions against the use of pork
on Saturday was announced by
the Food Administration tonight
as readjustment of its food con-
servatlon program. Increased
meat production and the neces.
sity for still greater saving in
wheat, it was declared, make the
change advisa bic.
The suspension is made eff
fective for an indefinite period,
and it probably will last for three
months or longer.
Since all restrictions on con-
sumption of mutton and lamb
had been lifted previously, the
Food Administration now asks
the public for the time being to
deny itself in meats only of beef
and pork on one day week
Tuesday.
Increased meat consumption,
Food Administration officials be-
lieve, will of itself curtail the use
of wheat, and for the present
there is no intention to add to
the restrictions already in force
against the use of flour.
In a statement tonight setting
forth the reason for the change
in program, Food Administrator
Hoover SAID:
The Allies have made further
and increased demands for
breadstuffs, these enlarged de
mands being caused to some de-
gree by shortage in arrivals from
Arg entina. 1t is, therefore nee
essary for the Food Adminlstra-
tion to urge still further reduc'
tiol In the consumption of bread
and breadstuffs generally if we
are to meet our export necessl-
ties.
Experience shows that the
consumption of breadstuffs IS
intimately associated with the
consumption of meat. For va
rious reasons our supplies of
m eat for the next two or three
months are considerably enlarg
ed and we can supply the Allies
with all of the meat products
which trans ertation facilities
render possible and at the same
time somewhat increase our own
consumption.
$50 long as the present con.
ditions continue the only special
restrictions we ask are the beef
less and porkless Tuesdays.
Porkless Saturday is no longer
asked.

Pepperell Sends Blanks

Wichita, Kansas, March l, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
am enclosing herewith a
small supply of tentative income
tax returns for the year 1917 for
the use of farmers. A supply OF
similar forms are also being
mailed to all postmasters and
bankers, These tentative re-
turns are to be used by the farm
er who has failed to receive Form
lO40.A or who is unable to COM
pute the amount of his net IN
come on that Form. AS the
name indicates these form are
a tentative return only and will
not be accepted as final return.
It's the opinion of the Depart
ment that large number of'per-
sons liza BILE for the tax under the
law have failed to receive proper
forms and through misunder-
standing Of the provisions OF the
law. 1t is desired that every
probable income taxpayer shall
have full information and ample
opportunity to make return with
in the time prescribed by law.
LET the Stacker beware" for 1t
will be the object of this Office to
see that no one escapes his liabil-
| ity and severe penalties are pro-
vided for delinquents.
While the time for filing all in
come tax returns has been eX
tended to April lst, 1918 by the
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue such returns should be fill
ed out and mailed to W. H. l..
Pepperell, Collector of Internal
Revenue at Wichita, Kansas
without delay.
Will you not be good enough
to say in your paper that these
tentative returns may be had at
YOUR Office or at any bank or
postoffice. Your past courtesy
and cooperation is greatly ap,
preciated by the Department and
by the writer personally.
Yours most respectfully,
W. H. l.. Pepperell,
Collector,

HAS A NEW FLOATING MINE
Government Considering Marine Con-
tact Device Designed to Destroy
Only Enemy Vessels.

Our government has under consid-
Grafton a marine contact mine OF an
unusually interesting type, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. 1t may,
or may not, prove to be suitable for
general adoption, but at any rate it
has the merit of ingenuity and there
fore is worth notice. Unlike ordi-
nary mines, this one operates on a Sc
lective principle. In other words, it
is designed to destroy enemy vessels
without endangering the friendly
ones-for which a simple protective
device has been provided-that col
lide with it.
Technical details of the invention
cannot, of course, be divulged, but a
general description is permissible.
The outer shell of the mine is built
of pressed steel and equipped with a
group of magnetic disks, which are
employed in place of the firing pins
customarily used. The instant that
steel, iron or any similar metal comes
in contact with one of the disks, a
clock motor, housed within the buoy,
is set in motion. 1t in turn operates
a trigger and causes the discharge OF
a illuminate cap that detonates the
explosive. Thus any unprotected
steel vessel would explode the mine
or contact.

CHANGE ROUTE OF VESSELS
Four Japanese Passenger Liners Are
Transferred to Yokohama-Seattle
Line for Regular Service.

The japanese Steamship company
has transferred four of its best pas
senger liners from the London Yoko-
hama route to the Yokohama-Seattle
line, says East and West.
Owing to the increased volume of
business between Japan and the
United States, this company expects
to continue to run these four ships
to America after the war. A redue-
ton was made in the passenger rate
to $125 for a single cabin, and $75
for second class. 1t is expected, how
ever, that these prices will be in
creased. All these ships are named
after famous shrines in Japan, and
decorated with reproductions Of
scenery surrounding these holy
places. Each vessel has a displace-
ment of $1,000 tons. They are rated
as to carrying capacity at $4,000
gross. Length, 525 feet; breadth, 63
feet; depth, 81 feet; speed, 171a
knots.
All these steamers are well pro-
vided with lifeboats and life-saying
appliances, handled by special cleo
tric winches. A telephone is found
in every stateroom. Special mention
is made of a children's nursery, a
swimming tank, a darkroom for
amateur photographers and a hos
pital with nurses in attendance.

NURSES ENLIST!

To care for our rapidly increasing
army, an increasing army of nurses
must be preparing for service. Our
trained nurses have volunteered until
recruiting is necessary. Our country
now calls for 5000 student nurses be-
tween the ages of 81 and 35 to await
their calls for service and to be placed
i'm civilian or army training schools un-
til actually needed in the base hospitals.
They are to-enlist in the nearest re-
cruiting station, which in this county
is at the Red Cross rooms i'm Charlie
voix. Mrs. r. B. Armstrong of Charlie
voix is County Recruiting Officer and
will be glad to get in touch with all
women desiring to enlist.
The heroic work of nurses i'm war.
times need not be here described.
Suffice it to say that next to giving life
for the cause of liberty is that of saving
life that liberty may be secured. Char
levoix County men have freely given
and we wish in this Recruiting cam.
paign to find that Charlevoix County
women will heroically respond. Cam
paign opens August the twelfth. En-
list in Charlevoix at Red Cross Rooms.
Recruiting office is open one week
only. All girls who registered to nurse
or for training in nursing should now
appear for application.
