The following food regula-
tions which have been sent to
County Food Administrator,

atory:

gram of Food Administration
must be flexible to be success
full. They may look for res
toration of meatless days any
time enforcement of same is
deemed necessary.
Urge your people to greater
use of potatoes. Encourage a
big crop of this product. To
get cooperation of people, the
prices for potatoes must be as
low as is CONSTANT with JUS
tice to producer and distribut-
or. A certain wholesale and

WheatlesS meals will add very
greatly to this conservation.
By "wheatless" we mean no

GOVERNORS STATEMENT

Gov. Emanuel l.. Philip on Thurs
day issued the following proclama-
ton:
Reports received from various
parts of our state indicate that Span
ish influenza is spreading rapidly and
is claiming many victims. For the
purpose of preventing further spread
of this disease and for military rea-
sons every reasonable precaution
should be taken against further in
lection in order that the epidemic
may be stamped out as promptly as
possible.
THE authority for prescribing rules
and regulations to be observed by the
people is by law vested in the state
board Of health and the local boards
in the cities, towns and villages.
The surgeon general Of the United
States, acting under his authority, has
directed the state board of health to
take certain precautionary measures
and his orders have been communi-
Gated to the various local boards di-
recting that schools, churches, Sun
day schools, theatres, moving picture
houses and other places of amusement
and public gatherings of every de-
scription be closed for an indefinite
period.
Il wish to remind the people that
these regulations are made in their
interest and | ask for a faithful COM
pllance with the same. Owing to the
fact that large number of doctors
and nurses of our state are in the
service of the army there is difficulty
in some sections to secure medical at
tentiOn, and | ask that the local health
OFFICERS in each community instruct
the people, so far as it is possible
through the public press or otherwise
IN the treatment of the patient and
the care that should be given him un-
til medical aid can be secured.
| Aid for Poor Families.
Il appeal for the generous aid tc
poor families, especially in cases
where the wage earners are stricken
in order that they will not be com.
PEELED to resume their daily Iabors
before complete recovery and thereby
expose themselves to the dangers of g
relapse which is so frequently at.

Important information concerning
fhe registration of Liberty Loan bonds,
as given out by the bond department
OF the Federal Reserve Bank of Chi
cago contains the following quotation
from letter from the treasury de-
partment:
with reference to accepting sub
scriptions for bonds to be registered
Id the names Of persons giving only
initials rather than the full name,
nave to say that it is the intent Of
the department, not for it's own sake.
out Tor the sake OF the holders of reg
lstered bonds, to have them registered
IN such manner as to enable the said
holders, or their legal representatives.
TO dispose OF them in the simplest and
readiest manner. Bonds issued to wom-
en- under their initials, or under the
initials of their husbands, are not read
lily transferable in case Of the death
OF the holder.
Though letters of administration
would be issued in the legal name Of
the deceased. and the bonds would be
inscribed III her name, under her ini-
tails, or those of her husband, as the
case might be, the letters of admin
lStrat1On and the bonds would not
agree as to the name, and therefore
the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A.
smith, say, would have to prove that
she and Mrs. Thomas w. Smith Cor
Mrs. s. Smfth) were one and the same
person. 1t is to avoid troubles of this
character that the department has in
sisted on receiving the legal name of
persons subscribing for registered
bonds.
of course, the department cannot
refuse to issue bonds under initials If
the parties interested insist upon it,
but 1T is requested that you, in all
cases where it is possible, insist on re.
ce1ving the full names Of persons sub
scribing for registered bonds"
