P. M. HARDING,
Federal Food Administrator.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has requested that the rulings for
Wheatless Days be rigidly enforced in
all eating places The fact that five
hundred of the leading hotel keepers in
the United States in convention as
sembled, volunteered not to serve
wheat products to their guests, so as
to supply the need of wheat for ship
ment abroad, is proof of their loyalty.
The chairman of the Hotel Commit
tee of Mississippi is sending out a let
ter to all hotels calling attention to the
oppor tunity presented to them to again
help educate the people in their habits
Of eating IN such way as to be an ex-
ample to other eating places as we'll as
private homes.
We expect you to enforce this Wheat
less rule rigidly, and you are requested
to inspect and investigate, and when
violations are reported and complaints
come before you, you may hold hear
ings which must be open to the public
and press, reporting your findings to
me.
No matter what the extenuating cir
cumstances, this means that no VIOLA
tor will be shielded by having his name
withheld from the newspapers. Where
violations are proved, Administrators
are urged to follow Immediately with
such measures as will be determined in
consultation with parties at Washing
ton. This request does not require
you to investigate a private home.
These are handled through the Gro
Gerry Stores, who are required to sell
but 8 lbs. of flour per person per
month
1t is believed that the imperative
necessity for this measure will be un-
derstood and that its request will re- !
ceive ready response from the intelli-
gent class.
Yours very truly,
P. M. Harding,
Federal Food Administrators,
