If we are to furnish the allies with the ne ! cessary proportion of wheat to main ( tain their war bread from now until the next harvest and this is a mili tary necessity we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,0(10,01)0 bushels a month as against our norm al consumption of about 42.000,000 bu shels, or 60 per cent of our normal consumption. To effect the needed saving we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people, and we ask that the following rules shall be observed: 1. Householders to use not to ex ceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than one and three-fourths' pounds of victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week Monday and Wednesday as at present. In addition thereto not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs, maca roni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eating establishments not to buy more than aix pounds of wheat products per month per guest, thus conforming with the limitations re quested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of victory bread sold by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before and corresponding proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat-flour purchases beyond 70 per cent of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat pro ducts for nonfood purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours and meals corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, etc. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat pro ducts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satis-faction.

Tolstoy and Turgtnev in Fierce Dis pute Thst Might Have Led to Deadly Encounter, Tolstoy and Turgenev, famous Hue- llan novelist, were contemporaries sud friends, but on one occasion they had a serious fulling nut. As falhered from a recent biography, this is the story of their quarrel: The two fa mouse novelists met at a friend's house. Ttirgenev smk rnlhuslnstlrnlly of his young daughter's new English gov erness, mentioning that she required the child In mend old, ragged clothes to give to the poor. "1H you consider that good?" demanded ToUtoy. "I rer tntnly do." replied Turgenev ; "It makes the charity workers realise everyday needs." "And 1 think that a well dressed girl with filthy, malodorous rags In her hands Is acting an Insincere farce." commented Tolstoy. "I ak you not to aay that," exclaimed Tur genev. hotly. "Why should I not say what I am convinced Is true!" retorted Tolstoy. "If you say that again I will box your ears!" Turgenev cried, white with rage, and rushed from the room. A duel waa narrowly averted. After ward these famous men became rec onciled, and on his lesthti.il Turgenev wrote an affecting note to Tolstoy, ad dressing him as "the great writer of our Russian land." Outlook.
