MORE LESS" DAYS
To BE PROPOSED
Greater Saving of Wheat and Pork
Is Object Sought. t

Wheatless. meatless and porkless
days are to be increased In number.
Wheatless and meatless meals for
every day in the week are to be urged.
Presidential proclamation. asking
the public to observe to a greater ex-
tent the conservation scheme laid
down by the Food Administration. will
be issued within a few days.
The Home Card" for 1918 will be
distributed within. the next fortnight.
1t makes certain changes in the rules
promulgated by the Food Administra-
ton for conservation. AS has been
admitted by food specialists. the vol
untary conservation scheme has not
produced food in the quantities desir-
ed for the allied armies. The admin
tration has been preparing for a ma
tion-wide campaign to be started
within a few days, but. through the
violation of a confidence of one of the
officials. the scheme was made public
prematurely.
1t was stated that there was to be
three wheatlesS and three meatless
days enforced. The number Is incor-
rect and there will be no compulsion.
The new scheme of extension is volun-
tary. The only compulsion that is
contemplated so far Is through legisla-
ton now before Congress.

hair streamed in the wind. He
started to run. he slipped and would
have fallen on the sidewalk. but
strong arms seized him and lifted
him up.
The old man slipped them around
his neck. and the tears rolled like
and he said:
MY boyi I knew you'd come.
knew you'd come. 1 knew you'd
come some day"
For thirteen years James Stewart
had been at every train. no night
too dark. no storm too fierce, and
at last was rewarded.
God has been waiting for some of
you men and women ten years,
twenty. thirty, forty, fifty. sixty
years Come on in and make
heaven happy and hell sad. Come
on! Make the angels sing. Will
your God cares. God cares.
