EXCEPTIONS GIVEN TO
EATING PLACE ORDERS

IN answer to many inquiries con-
corning the new regulations for eating
places, the Food Administration has
deemed it necessary to explain several
exceptions to the rules.
4 Sandwiches are excepted from the
restriction in Order on the amount Of
bread that may be served because SO
many people, particularly patrons of
lunch counters make one daily meal
entirely of sandwiches, and a substi-
tute is difficult to find.
Poached eggs or Clipped beef on
toast are not forbidden by Order II,
but garnishing with toast.
Ham and eggs or bacon and eggs
are permitted by Order " but not two
kinds of meat.
Any difficulty in finding a way of
disposing of waste to hog breeders or
garbage reduction plants should be re-
ported to the Food Administration.

Don't Sell Your Liberty Bonds;
10 Hold Them Is Patriotic,
To Keep Them Is Wise

The wide distribution among mil
lions OF American citizens of Liberty
loan bonds makes our Liberty loans,
according to Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo's expressed opinion, the
soundest of national financing. That
these bonds be kept widely distribut-
ed amongst the American people is
OF great Importance to the Nation
and to the individual holders of the
bonds.
United States Government bonds
in the past have gone above par, as
high as Sl39 for 500 4 per cent
bond. That Liberty bonds will go
we'll above par when peace comes is
very probable. Holding ones Lib
erty bonds, therefore, is wise as we'll
as patriotic.
Every holder of a Liberty loan
bond should heed the caution to hold
to his or her bonds, because there are
going to be great efforts by shrewd
and INSCRIPTIONS people to buy or
secure at inadequate prices these
bonds from holders who are not
we'll informed as to stock and bond
value.
Worthless or worthless stock
or stock of only speculative value
wildcat stocks they are called
are going to be offered for Liberty
bonds. Some will be urged not to
sell or exchange their Libertys, but
to buy the stock and give the Liberty
bonds as security for the purchase
price. This is camoufaged attempt
to get Liberty bonds in exchange
for the stock of their companies.
If every holder of Liberty bond
will consult a bank before he dis
poses of it the get-rich-quick con-
Germs will not prosper, but the in.
dividual bond-holders will, and the
American people as whole will be
benefited.

Others Extravaganza
Requires Your Economy

One of the whining complaints
which the officials of the Food Ad-
ministration have to meet most Of
ten in these days of saving and sac
rifice is the one voiced by the imam
or woman who thinks he should be
released from his share because a
neighbor across the street or snext
door is cheating his government by
not living up to its regulations.
I'm perfectly willing to go with
out wheat>flour and have only one
teaspoon of sugar in my coffee, but
l don't understand why I should deny
myself just so James can have all
the sugar and wheat he wants." runs
the complaint.
1t is because there are food slack
ers along with profteers willing and
ready to make dollars out of the
agony of the nations that food rulings
have to be made. 1t is because of
the extra amount they eat that we
must save all the harder to make the
food supply go around. 4
Let the man who claims when
brought before the Enforcement Di-
vision Of the Wisconsin Food Admin
istration for violations, ''The others
were doing it." rememberl that
"Others' are leaping from mud and
blood soaked parapets tot face a
shower of Hun bullets and to stop
with their bodies the razored bay
onets of the army. 1t is an excuse
which doesn't go.

ALL CHURCHES TO
CELEBRATE UNITED
WAR WORK SUNDAY
DENOMINATIONS OF ALL CREEDS
TO DEVOTE SERVICES TO
GREAT WAR TASK.
WILL OBSERVE DAY NOV. 10

Local churches, together with those
in every section of Wisconsin, will
celebrate United War Work Sunday
with appropriate services Sunday, Nov.
10, according to announced plans.
That day has been designated as a
Sabbath set apart for demonstrating to
the enlisted men in the service of the
United States that the churches are
solidly back of them and eager to as
sist them in every way.
Every clergyman in the state, Prot
estant ministers, Catholic priests and
Jewish rabbis, have been asked to de-
vote all services on that day to the
United War Work Campaign which
will be waged Nov. 11-18 for funds to
carry on the work of the seven war
welfare agencies merged in the drive,
the Army Y. M. c. A., the Y. w. G. A.,
National Catholic War Council, includ-
ing the K. of c., Jewish Welfare
Board, War Camp Community Service,
American Library Association and the
Salvation Army.
Blend All creeds.
Since all creeds and sects have
blended into harmonious unit for the
success of the allied nations through
the merged campaign, it is very fitting
that each church in the state, IRE
spective of the various beliefs, should
join in observing this day as United
War Work Sunday.
Sermons on that day will be based
on the herculean tasks of the seven
organizations that have joined il. keep
ing up the morale of the allied armies
and of the spirit of unity with which
the various organizations are ANAL
gamated in this notable effort-to
serve the enlisted men and women in
war work
Youth to Take Part.
Sunday school exercises and Young
Peoples meetings will also be largely
dominated by discussions and talks
concerning the United War Work
Campaign. The part that the boys and
girls can take in it through the "Vic-
tory Boys" and Victory Girls" cam
paign will be especially emphasized in
the young peoples meetings.
Even clergymen of war chest com
munities will tell their parishioners of
the work of these seven war welfare
organizations, giving them information
Just what the money they have already
subscribed is doing for the boys in the
service of the allied armies.

Frosted Potatoes Make Good
Starch

Frosted and decayed potatoes have
been found in trials conducted by
the United States Department of
Agriculture to be entirely capable
of producing acceptable and fire.
quently normal yields of clean, white
starch of good quality. Much of
this material appears to possess a
potential value for the production
Of sizing starch approximating that
Of the stock at present used for this
purpose. The mechanical difficulties
in recovery from decayed pulp are
sometimes or sometimes less than
from normal stock. Modified pro-
cedure adapted to these abnormal
pulps doubtless could be devised,
department specialists say but there
seems to be no reason why the pre-
sent method might not be- applied
profitably in the meantime in the
production of sizing starch in factor
les at the large shipping centers in
stalled to utilize the great quantities
of frozen and decayed potatoes ar
irving during the fall and winter.
This would turn to profitable account
large supplies at present without
value, but which are a serious
burden of expense i.since to their
cost of production must be added
transportation and dumping charges.
