WHEAT BREAD AND
PLENTY SUGAR NOW
ON COLORADO TABLES

Temporary peace has added two
luXurles to the American table. The
United States Food Administration
for Colorado announced last week
that pure wheat bread may now be
served on all tables, The sale and
use of substitutes is no longer neces-
sary. it is stated. becatse OF the re-
leasing OF large stores OF flour in the
southern Hemisphere which were
formerly tied up by the war and war
demands on shipping.
In sugar-producing states, such ~
Colorado with its beet, and Louisiana
with its cane sugar, the Food Admin
istration has increased the household
allowance of sugar to four pounds per
ierson per month.
Restaurants however, though per-
mitted to serve wheat bread. are still
limited as to quantity served and are
permitted to serve only an extra tea
spoonful OF sugar.
The need for keeping strictly with
in the sugar allowance and for vast.
ing not a crumb of the welcomed
wheat bread is reiterated by the food
board.

Mr.. Mytton has been constantly

come acquainted with the "cootie."
For three days and nights he has
been soaked with rain. his shoes
so wet that he feared to take them
off for fear he could not get them
on again, but he has suffered no
cold from the exposure.
He has been in Chateau Thierry.
Fisl1es, St. Mihiel, Rheims and
many other towns so familiar to
us.
South of Fismes he received
gas attack which was very incon-
venient, but within three weeks he
was himself again. While suffer-
ing from the i'll effects of the gas
he was called upon for some of
his most strenuous work.
He writes: During the push

lowed as rapidly as we could with

without scratch, in spite of all
the terrible machines of destruc
ton, and they will tell of score
of narrow escapes. and will often
forget that underneath were the
Everlasting Arms, and that some
times God still blinds the eye of
the enemy that they see not.

For the last two weeks | have
had an interesting time working
close in the wake of our advancing
lines. serving hot chocolate, rolled
oats and bread to some of our boys
to whom tucle Sam was unable
to get rations on account of the
crowded condition of the roads.

KANSAS HAS 1T RATS
Do Not Create as Much Damage as
Handling of Eggs.

Some interesting figures about the
rat population of Kansas have been
compiled for the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator of that state. Working
with figures of European rat surveys
made just before the war, it is estinat-
ed that the rat population of city
like Wichita is probably equal to the
human population. while III Tire coun-
try districts there are at least ten
rats for every person.
A fair estimate would give 100000
rats for Kansas, each requiring 81
worth of food year, S6.OO0,OOO loss
Practically all the rats in Kansas
however, would have to work one year
to effect the destruction represented
by the careless handling of eggs IN
that state, for it is estimated that care
less handling, storing and shipping
cause the destruction of one-fourth OF
