The new FOOD RULES

In West Virginia.

The following message was Thurs
day given out by h w. oglebay. Fed.

TO The People Of West Virginia.
kindly change the rules given out
by me q short time ago So as 10

Eliminate the porkless Saturday Let
All the meals on Tuesdays be meat
less az far as beef. veal and pork and

cerned, but let mutton aud lamb be
used on that day by anyone so de.
string. Let this rule apply to hotels
and restaurants rs well az 10 homes.
ITO the people az West Virginia |
extend my most sincere congratula-
tons on the fact that their co.opera.
ton has been of assistance in max
Ing these new directions possible.
The Food Administration has saved
meat, of that there can be no pos.
sibility Of doubt, We now desire to
give TO all our members the benefit
of this saving and TO. permit them TO
use meat except in the one instance
where restriction Is held The reton

ton of meatless Tuesday with moth

and pork, will work no hardship on
anybody. Let me call to the atten
ton Of the people of the state the ex
oellent work which the Food Admin
istration is accomplishing In making
Il so easy for everyone to do his
part, At the present the whole work
or food conservation has practically
boiled down to wheat conservation
or the importance Of that we must
never lose sight. In wheat lies our
national salvation, yet the rules foI
wheat conservation which our chiefs
have given out are so easy that no
family need suffer because OF them
Keep your Mondays and your Wed

| through the southeastern part Of the
metropolis, where ! recognized many
landmarks of my boyhood days. The
day before [ had visited Ford street,
Spitalfields, and the house there where
l first saw the light IS years ago.

clusively by Americans, is on the top
Of hill and commands an unequalled
view of the country for many miles.
We approached it from the picturesque
village which lies at the base of the
hill. A fair was in progress there, and
the place was alive with people.
Major E. FL. Fiske, the commanding
officer Of the hospital, welcomed us
with open arms. He comes from
Brooklyn, and | had met him in New
York. He was surrounded by groups
of the most cheerful crowd OF wounded
men imaginable. l recognized some of
them at once. One of them, John Del
monte, was neighbor of our family in
New York | was able to give him
frst-hand information that all was
well at home, and he was very glad.
Well, L walked about there among
the men, handing them cigarettes,
American flags and comfort bags made
by the women Of America to be dispos-
ed of to our boys wherever they may
be. 1t was a great experience and
touched me very deeply. Every little
while 1 could feel lump come up in
my throat. just couldn't help it.
Americans [ met from almost every
state in the Union. And never before
was | so proud to meet my country
men. Our visit was quite unannounc-
ed, and the boys were surprised and
pleased.

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Echoes are still reaching here from
the memorable Fourth of July cele-
brations held in Allied capitals this
year. Among documents just received
is one containing a copy of a letter.
apropos of the independence Day
fetes, written by Adrion Mithouard,
president Of the Paris Town Council,
in which a tribute is paid to the
American Red Cross in the following
terms:
Paris has felt in a thousand ways
the exquisite tact and subtle ingenuity
of Americas friendship. Not only has
our friends generosity been un-
bounded, but the way in which it has
expressed itself has touched us to the
heart.
While. at the front, the splendid
troops of the United States are fight
ing for our homes as If they were
their own, and are gaining the adj
nlration Of our Poilus, who are Judges
in matters of heroism, here the
American Red Cross succors our
wounded, helps the families of our
dead soldiers, re-educates our cripples
and our blind men. It devotes itself
TO our orphans and provides trip to
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1918-10-21

and a soiourn in the country for our
little Paris children. In fine,. it never
misses an opportunity to aid us.
And this is why--to the tribute
that France as nation is paying to
the great American republic, to the
noble and clear-sighted energy of its
chief, to the loyalty of it's citizens, to
the gallantry of its arn1ies,-Paria
wishes to add the discreet effusion of
its own gratitude --,.,,.
The sum of SIS, 800 has been appro-
priated by the Red Cross war council
for the purchase of 10000 gallons of
kerosene and 80, 900 gallons of gaso-
line, for shipment to SaIoniki. These
materials were requested in a cable
gram from DR.. Ryan, Red Cross com
missioner for Serbia, an dare to supply
agricultural and other machinery for
a period Of six months.
The war council has voted an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of a three months supply OF
hand and bath towels, to be shipped
at the rate Of 10000 each month, and
one shipment of $4,000 draw sheets.

Ia motor-car full of things, which we
distributed. The cigarettes were from
two shipments sent over here by the
people of Providence, r. l., and by
the Rotary Club of Honolulu, Hawaii,
and each package had a little card by
which the men could acknowledge the
gift. 1t was a pleasure for me to hand
these gifts to the men. They came
from America, and L thought of every
one as a link between these soldiers
and the mothers, wives and sweet
hearts of America.
If the Red Cross did nothing more
than to distribute these things it would
be worth while. / am a member Of the
Red Cross in America, just like so
many millions of other Americans. In
the last drive I helped to raise some
of that giant fund, and / expect to
raise my voice for it again in the next
drive. [ shall be able to speak first
hand of its work for our men.
While | was talking with the con-
valescents out on the lawn a pretty
big crowd began to gather, and some
body asked for a speech. l just could
not refuse and gave them a personal
message from the folks at home
told them how grateful everybody was
to them for the sacrifice they had al
ready made and for the further sacri-
fees l knew they were prepared to
make for the ideals of America. T
gave them a mental picture Of the sit
uation at home since they left,-how
everybody was working for the war,
backing up the army and navy with
everything necessary to bring victory.
After we had shaken hands all round
once more L went through several
wards and found the same cheerful
spirit in all. The boys all said they
were getting along fine. They wanted
to know the latest home news, and
gave them all could in the short time

Asked if Japan would take military
