OOCOOOOOCOOOSOOOOOOOGCOC Iff If we are t6 furnisj the Allies with the necessary propor tion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this s a military necessity, we must reduce rni tvi ftTit V ir nnoiitYinfirtTi r Ol AAA AAA Vn csV al s o yy y4- Vi ci a lliuilblllj WU11 ij IjVUUjUU v K UOilV JO C4 lllVlllX, ck I against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, j ui uu pci cent, ui uua luiiiidi cunauiiip tiun. x ilia la tuc oiiua- tion as set. forth by thefU. S. Food Administration at Washing ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves f&r general consumption approximately IV2 pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food Administration's statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon barters' bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore, requjresa larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads bailed in the household. Our army and navy require a full allof ance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can thejfpoor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun dant, are more skilled the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have avail able a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and w have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The-rai on rye and barley, as substitutes has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. ' UCCU uvin wiieai . cent, or tne average monthly, amount we are wnony aepenaent uon tne purchased in the four months prior to yumuiarj assisiauee 01 me fiierican people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed : ' i 1. Householders to use not t exceed a total" of 1 pounds per eek of Wheat products per persoiil This means not more than 1 poimds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes andjone-half pound of cooking flour, niacaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes,; wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places aiidlclubs 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 $eal an aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces oj wheat flour. No wheat products to bp1 served unless specially ordered!:" Puflic eat ing establishments not to bi?y more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con forming with the limitations rjtjested of the householders. ' 1 3. Retailers Ho sell not mof-e than one-eighthjb barrel of floup to any town customer at any one tifne and not more than one-quarter of barrel to any country customer at jfy one time, and In no case to sellj wheat products without the sale of ail equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victorff bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pouna ioai wnere one pound vf;as sold b afore, and corresponding proortions In other weights.; We alfq askS bakers not to Increase' the ' amount cjf their wheat flour purchases beyond TO per March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for non-food 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, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfac tion. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households in the country to follow this additional pro gramme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab solutely demanded of us. to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operation of the public by a further limita tion of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able t relax such restrictions. Until, then we ask for the necessary patience, ' sacrifice and ' co-operation of the distributing trades, Never Say "Enough" i An Irishman who was getting the worst of it m a nght was asked it he would say 'enoug-h?" He replied: "If I had strength left to say. that, I wouldn't be licked." That's the proper spirit. Never give up. A quitter never gets any where If hard luck strikes you ; brace u pand go on just as bravelyas you can, , How ever, a little sav ings account at the bank has carried many a man through a tight place. Better begin now before hard luck strikes, and open a little savings account with us. BANK of SALW Capital $10,000.00 SaSuda, N. C. HENRY P. CORITH, Pres. JOHN B. CANNON, Y-Pres.
