A WORD OF REGRET
Mingled With Kind Words For The
''0ld CAPITAL"
tCommunicated.l

Messrs. Editors May I not ex-
press my sincere regret that the pres
ent management Of The Capital has
seen fit to reIinquish control Of tllas
very valuable and interesting journal?
Through the years during which
have been resident in this city. The
Capital has been not only a faithful
recorder Of the doIngs OF the commun-
ity. but Il has also been ever as a
beacon light pointing the way to-
ward q higher and a better standard
CT Iifes q more progressive city. and
particularly toward that political In
dependence in civil affairs without
which 10 municipality can long main
tain the race Of modern development
May It be hoped that the new
management win. in its attitude to-
wards the welfare Of the community,
continue the unwritten motto Of The
Capital in serving the public Of be-
ing NO mans friend. as against the
welfare OF the people, no party's
friend as against the welfare OF the
commonwealth
Very truly yours.

food administration will go into effect
October u throughout the country and
will affect about 100000 inhabitants OF
this state, who are regular or occasional
patrons OF public eating places,
These rules are made necessary 10
carry into effect the national food ad-
ministration's promise TO the altles 10
send them 100000 tons Of food dur
ing the coming year.
The plan contcmplntes n general saw
ing I'm all staple foods. rather than
series OF emergency regulations sncn rs
rneatless and wheatless days and meals.
It provides that no bread except the
5000 Victory bread be served. and that
the limit be two ounces per person Tor
each meal Certain restrictions are
mnde in the serving Of meat. and TWO
kinds Of meat cannot be served to the
sa,ne person at one meal. The use OF
butter is limited to one-half ounce per
p,rson per meal and the restricted use
of sugar MS heretofore enforced will be
continued
Usa Fewer Dishes
The MAN NOT only seeks to save in the
actual amount OF food consumed. but
seeks to simplify the service by using
fewer side dishes by the simplif1ca-
ton OF menu card. and the use Of only
necessary silverwarc. thereby saving
labor that may be more probably en-
ploycd in essential service.
A strong appeal Is made by the food
administration for the strictcst economy
In the use Of foodstuffs. As the army
is increased our food problem grows
and It is essential that TO win the war
as soon as possible. and this can only
be done by maintaining n large army
we'll equipped and we'll fell. 1t is also
our duty to provide for our allies with
ample food supplies to supplement their
growing shortage.
How q Little Counts.
These things can all ne done by n
strict and systematic plan OF saving. n
little saved hero and a little there
soon counts mp into millions OF tons
when it Is multiplied three times a day
by each one OF our hundred rniil",'
population.
We must remember that when the
number Of men is inscrcascd on tn"
battle field. that the number on the
wheat field is decreased. So continue
to save and you will contin-'c to serve
your country.
