Presidents Proclamation.
| Washington, Jan. 26.-NLany causes
nave contributed to create the ncccs-
sty for n more Intensive effort on the
part of our people to save food in
order that we may supply our asso-
ciateS in the war with the Sustcnancc
vitality necessary to them in these
days Of privation and stress. The re-
duccd productivity of Europe because
of the large diversion Of man power to
the war, the partial failure OF har-
vests and the elimination of the more
distant markets for foodstuffs through
the destruction Of shipping, places the
burden Of their subsistence very
largly on our shoulders.
The food administration has formu
lated suggestions which, if followed,
will enable us to meet this great re-
sponsibility, without any real incon-
vcnicncc on our part.
In order that we may reduce our
consumption of wheat and wheat
products by thirty pcrccnt-a rcduc-
tion mpcratircly necessary to pro
vide the supply for ovcrseas-who,e-
salcrs, jobbcrs and retailers should
purchase and resell to their customers
only seventy per cent of the amounts

pastry and breakfast cereals should

| ton OF wheat and wheat flour TO scv-
| lcnty percent Of their 1917 require
mcnts, and all bakers Of bread and
rollS to eighty percent Of their cur
rent requirements. Consumers should
reduce thci" purchases Of wheat pro

TO provide sufficient cereal food,
homes, public eating places, dealers

potatoes, vegetables, corn barley,
oats and rico products, and the mixed
cereal bread and other products of

In both homes and public places, in
order to reduce the consumption of
beef, pork and sheep products, Tues
day should be observed as mcatlcss

while, in addition, Saturday in each
week should further be observed as a
day upon which there should be no
