Washington.-The American people
started on a war bread diet Monday as
q part OF a war rationing system pre-
scribed by President Wilson and the
Food Administration. "victory bread"
the Food Administration calls it. The
reduced rations are asked for the pur-
pose of creating larger export sur.
plus of food for the allies. Curtail-
ment of consumption will be accom-
plished largely by, voluntary effort,
but force will be employed wherever
permitted under the food control act.
The rationihg system, as presented by
the President in proclamation and
by Food Administrator Hoover in a
list of regulations. forms the food ad-
ministration's 1918 food conservation
program, of which the chief features
are:
A bakers bread of mixed flour. with
a per cent substitution Of other ce-
reals for wheat until 20 per cent
substitution Is reached Feb. "a.

an equal amount ot substitute flours
for every pound Of wheat flour pur-
chased at the time the wheat flour is
bought
Sale by millers to wholesalers and
wholesalers to retailers of only 10 per
cent of the amount of wheat flour sold

Two wheatless days a week-Mon-
day and Wednesday-and one wheat

asked to perform q patriotic service
by using substitute flours.

ular channels and In such manner

Wheat millers are required to pro-
duce one barrel of flour of 1876 pounds
from 264 pounds Of wheat, which rep

tured, although whole-wheat flour may
be made as usual.
Hotels and restaurants will be
classed as bakeries and will be re-
quired to serve the new Victory bread.

done the Food Administration re-
quests that the evening meal must be

WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST.

An appeal comes from the new German gov
ernn.ent for help from the Allies to prevent star
walton of millions of persons in Germany. NOV
that imperial authority has collapsed and WITH
it the "verboten of the autocrats, there has been
a great deal of discord and confusion IN Ger-
many. 1t is inevitable that such meager supplies
as remained there should be insufficient to care
for all when license and greediness are given
rein What might have been enough for the
period of upheaval if the strict rules of old days
could be enforced, is pitifully short of being
enough now.
The natural instinct is to take every possible
step to supply the beaten enemy with food. We
did no less for the prisoners taken red-handed in
battle But second thought is likely to make
itself felt, urging against generosity to the Ger
man nation and debating that they have brought
the trouble on themselves and must bear it the
best they may.
That second thought is unworthy and will
not influence the action of the Entente. Undoubt-
edy the Belgian and French and Serbian war
sufferers have first claim the supplies the
rest of the world can send. But when they are
taken care of, it is solemn duty to see that the
stricken foe does not plead in vain for food. We
may require of him reparation for his offenses;

we may demand guarantees of the most binding
and humiating kind against repetition of the
crime he has committed, but we must first of all
hear the cry of actual physical suffering, wher-
ever it may come from.
It is necessary to remember that in Germany
are many thousands of women and children
whose part in the war has always been a passive
and poweress one. Undoubtedly there have been
viragos there as bad or worse than any militar-
lists. But the mass of German mothers have been
simply suffering patriotic mothers, and the mass
of German children have been just so many plas-
tic units to be shaped by the autocratic machine
that has now been wrecked. No blame for what
has befallen the world can attach to those little
ones and little to the mothers who bore them.
We have established a high standard for
Christian humanity in the struggle that has
ened. The gallant heroism of the Lusitania IS
we'll known. The slogan women and Children
First has become part of the household ex.
change of the generation. In the case of starv-
ing Germany we have then an opportunity to
put it into practice. Women and children must
come first, before our ideas of revenge and our
qualification of an I-told-you-so bent.
When we treat with the German government
at the peace table it will be infinitely better for
the cause of humanity that we treat with a ma
ton we have beaten and fed than with nation
we have beaten and let starve.

TT ERE'S the story of how laundry in Char
side line. How it developed dyeing and clean
ing department into a business which today
draws its patronage from the people of two
states
And how it did all this through the wise use
Of a fOur-inch space in single newspaper.
The story is more remarkable from the fact
that of all the dyeing and cleaning establish
ments in the United States today, it safely
be said that 90 per cent do little no advertis
ing
Yet the experience of the Charlotte concern
as related herewith, can be duplicated by any
dyeing and cleaning establishment anywhere
which works along the same lines
The secret Of the Charlotte auhdry's sue
cess lies simply in the fact that it's advertising
was designed to create results. 1t was not con-
tent to merely announce the fact that it did dry
cleaning and dyeing.
Such headlines as "Gloves Begin to Look
Dirty" Mud Stains on Your Skirt, Etc" were
used to attract attention. Then the headline
was followed up suggesting the need Of the
Work-and the advertisers facilities for doing it,
Experience has shown that there are feW
people who have any idea of the variety of work
which cleaners and dyers do 50 the Charlotte
laundry suggested from day to day the various
articles they could successfully renovate.
Advertisement after advertisement called
attention to the condition Of some garment
gave an idea of the change of its appearance
after dry cleaning or dyeing was accomplished.
Then the Economy idea was worked upon.
Brief, logical arguments were introduced show
ing the dollars and cents saving in using cleaned
and dyed garments again, over the cost Of buy
ing new.
Imperial Valley press., 1918-11-19
From A Sideli1e
To A State Wide Business
In Cleaning and Dyeing

Next the lack of facilities and the inconvenl-
ence of the work at home were featured. Spe
cial stress was laid upon the dangers in the hOme
use of gasoline and benzlne.
Yet throughout there was never an effor.
toward Observation-Disclosures time when the
advertisement exceeded the limits of logic. Nor
was there any stranng after typographical
effect.
Each advertisement attractive, yet quiet
and dignified. But the wording was changed
from day to day, ana different ideas were con-
stantly being projected.
The Charlotte laundry won success because
it talked to the people in an engaging, convrc-
ing way and had something new to say every
day.
It's advertising has brought business from all
over the two Carolinas-has established name
and built up trade that is without rival in It's
line.
And all through the use of four-inch space
in the daily edition Of q single local newspaper.
There is lesson in this for every dyeing and
cleaning establishment in Imperial Valley. What
has been done in the small city Of Charlotte,
n. c.. can be Just as easily done in Ell Centro.
Start right Use small space in single news
paper-in the Imperial Valley Press, the pioneer
paper of this valley. The Press because it is the
most influential newspaper in Imperial valley
and reaches more responsive readers.
Press readers respond to the sane advertiS-
ing appeal because they think They represent
the preferred patronage of Ell Centro and I'M
perial Valley because they have both the means
and inclination to spend.
Your chances for success through this chan
mel were never so great as they are today. But
the time for action is nOW-TODA4 while OE-
PORTUNITY waits.

Yesterday Mr.. Bird received
from Paris the three paintings
donated by Mr.. Leon Horvilleur

they are to be framed today by
Mr.. A. Lohn. After they are

The paintings are water col
ors, about 12x17 inches in di-

landscapes, the other a genre
picture. The latter, represent
ing a French infantryman, is
typical of the battle cry of the
French in 1914: "They shall
rot pass" The figure is life
like and spirited, while the ex.
ecution is fine. One of tht
landscapes is a corner of the
