YOUR REPAIRING A T THE BARBER SHOP My Competitors Say their Goods are Just as Good as If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor­ tion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we mu3t reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month, as against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situa­ tion as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing­ ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately 1 pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food Administration’s statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers’ bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and njivy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat prbducts than can the poor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun­ dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from the^e other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have avail­ able a surplus of potatoes. W e also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and bariey, as substitutes, has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. To effect the ueeded wiving o f wheat we Hre wholly (Impendent upon the Voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules «hall tie observed: 1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of 1 % pounds per week of wheat product* per person. i his means not more than 1% pounds o f \ .d o ry bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half _ , , found of cooking Hour, macaroni. crackers, paatry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2* Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheat less days per weed, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuff*, macaroni. crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat break fust cereals, containing a total o f more than two ounces of wheat flour No wheat products to be served uuless specially ordered. Public eat- Ing establishments not u> buy more than six pounds o f wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con- forming with tiie limitations requested of tiie householders. S. Retailers to sell not more than onq-elghth of a barrel o f flour to any town customer at any one time and not more thnn one-quarter o f a barrel to any country customer at auy one tlme, and In no case to sell wheat producta without the sale o f au equal weight o f other cereals. 4. We usk the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume o f Victory bread Mild, by delivery o f the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold I fore, and eorres|iondlng proportion* in other weights.

The allies have made further and increased demand» for breadstuff*, 'h ew enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage tn arrival* from the Argentine. It Is, Uierefore, necessary for the U. 8. Food Admini* Irutlou to urge u «till further reduction In the consumption o f bread and breao- stuffs generally tf we are to meet oar export necessities. The Food Atynlfe- Istration has issue«) a statement ex ­ plaining the situation In detail, parties ulurly the reasons which lead it, for the purpose o f centering effort for the time heing upon the cereal situation to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption. Exiierlence shows, this statement says, that the consumption o f bread- stuffs is intiniutely associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our supplies o f meat for the next two or three months are consid­ erably enlarged, and we can supply the allies with all o f the meat product* which transportation facilities render IMissihlc and at the same time some­ what increase our own consumption. In these circumstances the Food Ad­ ministration considers It wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat con­ sumption to some extent with n view to further decreaAng bread consump­ tion. Conservation o f food must be ad- Justed to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor al­ lied demands are constant factors, nor cau auy o f these factors be anticipated for long period* In advance In the dl»- turtied renditions In which we at pres­ ent live. While (he world situation 1* not one that warrants any relaxation in the efforts to eliminate waste or to relax economy in fo»jd. the Adminis­ tration desires to se.-uro better adjust­ ment In food balances. So loug as the present conditions continue the only special restriction* we ask are the heelless and porklea* Tuesday. Til.* meatless meal and the porklea* Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers o f the United State» are ras;n>nding to the nutional call to Increase bog production. Their In­ crease. to all appearances, is being at­ tained more rapidly. Of more imme­ diate imperianee, however, are several complex factors which have effected an Immediate increase in meat sup­ plies. , Tiie transportation shortage before the sovernment took over the rail­ roads. the bud weather in January and early in February, the large percent­ age of immature corn in the last har­ vest and the necessity o f feeding this eoru as rapidly as possible to save It from decay, have not only resulted la hacking up the animals— particularly hogs—on the farms fur a longer pe­ riod o f feeding, hut have resulted In a great increase in their average weight and will result, with Improved tran*- portatlon conditions, which already ap­ pear, in larger than normal arrivals at market for the next two or three months. The weight o f hogs coming to the market for the past two weeks indicates an increase in weight of from an average o f 203 pounds last, year to the almost unprecedented average o f 232 pounds, or a net in­ crease tn their meat value o f over 16 per cent. This is a distinct addition to the nation's meat supply. It there­ fore now seems certain that we have such enlarged supplies for at least some months to come, that we can not only increase our exports to the allies to the full ex ent o f their transporta­ tion facilities, hut at the same time can properly increase our domestic consumption. The response o f the public to our re­ quests for reduced consumption of meat during the past few months has been most gratifying, aud this service slooe has enabled the government dur­ ing this period to provide such sup­ plies as transportation to the allle* permitted. The Administration also suggests hat In those parts ot the country vhere the old fashioned home preser­ vation o f pork la still the custom, this practice should be extended at the present time, as it will relieve the tiur- len upon transp«irtatlon to and from :he pocking houses and Is economical­ ly sound as saving the cost of packing »pvrations and at the same time wHI provide home snppll®* o f pork to last jver the months o f decreased supplier The Food Administration desires to repeat that It docs not waot to give the Impression that these are time*« when simplicity and moderation o f liv­ ing are not critically necessary, but that Itfe role desire Is to secure an n«*- luatment between our different food supplies und meet changing conditions from time to time and to keep tbs pulv lie fully nnd frankly advised of Its position with the full confidence h i m ! reliance that whenever It become* nec­ essary renewed appeals for savin-: will met the name loyal response as in th* past.
