RESTAURANT MAN LEARNS
TO OBEY REGULATIONS

1t remained for e. e. McLin. Food
administrator of Duval county. TO
show to recalcitrant restaurant
man that the Food Administration
was not a school boys game, the
way he proved to the dispenser OF
hot cakes and beans that orders must
be obeyed was rather novel ana
equally as effective.
This particular restaurant man de.
cfded that wheatless and meatless
days were merely tea table talk, ana
not intended to apply to a full grown
man who could swear at will and
kick the cat with impunity, or some.

er substitutes, while on meatless
days he served a cut of juicy beef on
request Mr.. McLin in the line of
official duties suggested that the
rules be obeyed and got laugh for
his suggestions.
Not wishing to put the man com
pletely out of business, which could
have been done easily by notifying
dealers not to sell to the restaurant,
Mr.. McLin hit on the idea of having
an armed guard put at the door OF
the beanery The commanding officer
of Camp Johnson readily agreed to
send in detail of men, and they
were placed at the door of the res.
taurant-one on each side. When
ever customer, or an intended Gus.
toner approached, the soldiers noti-
fed the caller that the restaurant
man was not complying with the
Food Administration rulings. OF
course, the would-be-patron immedi.
ately walked down the street to an
other place for his luncheon or din

Before the sun had reached it's
noon-day position, the restaurant man
found that his dish-washer had been
idle from early morn, and that the
food prepared for the days business
was in need of ice. He frothed at
the mouth a minute, then kicked
himself soundly two or three times.
and ended up by calling off the fight.
He's now a booster for the United
States Food Administration.

Bound to France on Transport, He
Is Ordered Home to Care
for Parents.

Chicago, nl.--Called back from a
transport 100 miles out at sea while
on his way to France, Edwin Sweiger
returned to Chicago recently to take
care of his mother and crippled ia
Their. He found his mother taking in
washing to support the family.
Sweiger's father lost his leg in an
accident few days before Draft Reg
istration day. The boy registered and
did not claim exemption. He went to
Camp Grant with the first contingent.
Friends Of the family, however, APP
peaIed to the government to release
him from the army SO that he might
support his parents. The government
took action, but found Sweiger was
aboard a transport. The transport was
wirelessed and young Sweiger re-
turned to his home.

Governor Cats turned the wire over

"The thing to do" said the governor,

NO SUGAR FOR BEER
Pro-German Reports on England Are
Denied in Kansas.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 12.-Sugar is
not used in the manufacture of beer
in England, the food administration
announced today in answer to pro-
German reports which have been cir
culated widely in Kansas to the effect
mat our sugar savings are nullified
by sugar consumption in beer in Eng
land. While all persons who have
helped spread the report are not
necessarily German sympathizers, the
food administration says that the
falsehood aids Germany and doubtless
was originated by the kaiser's agents
for circulation in prohibition states.
Following is the food administra-
TONS statement:
Sugar is not being used for manu-
facture of beer in Great Britain. More
than a year ago the British ministry
of food cut off the sugar supplies OF
all breweries. As a matter of fact the
use of sugar has been prohibited in
all alcoholic beverages made in Eng
land. Scarcely any alcoholic beverages
other than beer are now made in Eng
land.
"Distillation has been prohibited
and even the Manufacture of beer is
under very strict supervision. AlmosI
no light wines have ever been made
in England. Even under normal con-
ditions very small part of the Brit
ish sugar supply has been used by the
breweries.
1.-THE use of sugar in beer manu-
facture has also been stopped by tht
food administration in the United
States"

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE.
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
lions and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
of making thin people fleshy. develop
ing arms, neck and bust. and replacing
ugly hoIlows and angles by the soft
curved lines of health and beauty, there
are evidently thousands OF men and
women who keenly feel their excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this deficiency
so well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro- phosphate
which Is inexpensive and is sold by most
all druggists under a guarantee of salts
faction or money back. BY feeding the
nerves directly and supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphoric food
elements bitro-phosphate quickly pro-
duces a welcome transformation In the
appearance; the increase in weight ire
uuently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health Nervousness, sleeplessness ana
lack of energy which nearly always accom-
pauy excessive thinness, soon disappear,
dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect health
CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, II
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh-
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on Ilesh-

households where the pledge has beer
taken to do without wheat entirely
that the allies may have more. One
reason why we can get along with
wheatless bread is because We have
corn and can use it and another reason
is because to certain extent we have
rye. which is impossible to get in
France, England or Italy.
Now, while we are very anxious that
the English folk should know that we
are making sacrifices, we must not
forget that it is just as important for
US to know of their sacrifices that are
peculiarly their own. OF some things
England actually has more abundance.
OF others she is in far greater need,
and one has but to open to the pages
on cookery of any recent English
woman's magazine to see that food
thrift over there has been carried on to
an extent that 1t has not been thought
of here. Perhaps the British. even
more than we, are creatures of habit
in the matter of food. At any rate
they will go to all sorts of eXpedients
to devise for themselves certain dishes
to which they have been accustomed.
You know how dearly they love their
tea soonest Now it would be no hard
ship for us to go without tea at all,
but not long ago when someone sug-
gested that they go without their tea
scenes they felt quite detected. So
quickly ingenious housewives devised
a way to make wartime scenes that
should consume no wheat and that
were made of left overs. Now they are
eating scenes of left over porridge and
old toast crustS that have been soaked
in water and mixed with raisins and
baking powder and camouflaged- by
skillful cooking to look like real tea
goodies. Ginger and cinnamon are
used rather apundantly to disguise the
difference of flavor and syrup is used
for sugar. Potato scenes are another
are not made from mashed potatoes
made especially for that purpose. But
any left over potatoes of any sort are
carefully cherished, mixed with water,
put thru a vegetable press and made
smooth enough to use in making bat
ter with some sort of flour.

Moved to Other Buildings.

Harrington, Kan, Aug. 12.-Fire of
unknown origin started in the roof of
Rock Island division headquarters
late Saturday Afternoon and the build
ings were destroyed; with a probable
loss of $4,000. Practically all the
equipment was destroyed and he tele-
graph lines put out of commission. Dis
patchers were hurried to the first sta
tions outside the city by automobile.
Almost before the fire was under
control, business men had met with
the officials. of the railroad and tenn
porary office quarters, typewriters,
desks and other equipment had been
provided in uptown buildings and the
division work was continued. Fifty
men were employed Sunday to clear
away debris and make temporary re-
pairs to the trackage and telegraph
lines At present the telegraphers
have an office in the Grier eating
house and the ticket office is located
in the freight house.

WOOL ORDER BENEFICIAL.
Small Farmer Profits by Government
Regulations, Prof. Paterson Says.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 12.-The
government regulations for handling
wool are beneficial rather than detri-
mental to small farmers, because un-
der these regulations each producer
gets the full price for his wool, ac-
cording to A. NJ. Paterson, assistant
professor of animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Professor Paterson is also secretary of
the Kansas Sheep and Wool Growers
association and a consulting represen-
tative of the wool division of the war
industries board.
The war industries board at Wash
ington has fixed the prices of the wool
clip for 1918 the same as those estab-
lished on July 80. 1917, at Atlantic
seaboard markets. The government
has prior right to all or any portion
of the 1918 wool clip which it may
require at these prices. The remain
der will be subject to ALLEGATION for
civilian purposes under the direction
of the board.
The large producers of wool have
always been SO situated that they
were able to sell their clips direct to
the manufacturers, pointed out Pro-
feSSor Paterson. Now the govern
ment encourages small growers to
pool their wool in minimum carload
lots of $4,000 pounds and consign
| their clips, SO pooled, as one account
to any approved dealer. County
agents are suggested by the govern
ment as a legitimate channel thru
which the pooling can be done.
There is always an element of
chance for dealers to make excess
profit in handling any commodity, but
1 believe the government has taken
| due precaution to guard against prof
| iteering in the wool regulations" said
Mr.. Paterson. "All books of dealers
are subject to government inspection
at any time and all profit in excess of
5 per cent on the seasons business is
| disposed of by the government"
