es wisn CONSERVE THE FOOD SUPPLY. Official Notice to Hotels, Restaurants and Clubs in Pennsylvania. SUGAR. June 13, 1918. Many of the ships regularly engag- ed in our coastwise trade to the West Indias have been withdrawn from their regular routes and put into trans-Atlantic service for the for- warding of troops and supplies to | meet the needs of the present critical war situation. Other ships engaged in the raw-sugar carrying trade have recently been sunk by the submarines now operating off our coast, and the loss of sugar in transit to American ports has thereby been large—ap- proximately 13,000 tons. Present submarine operations are also caus- ing delays in the departures of sugar- carrying ships from ports. : These conditions have combined to create a new and serious shortage In our sugar supply, which will be in- creasingly felt as the season advanc- es, and which can only be met by the utmost conservation in our present use of sugar. ; The following rules, effective imme- diately, will govern the use of sugar in all public eating places: 1. No sugar bowls or other com- mon receptacles for sugar will hence- forth be placed on tables. 2. All sugar service, for whatever use, will be in individual portions ex- clusively, and not to exceed one-half ounce, or two lumps, per person, with tea and coffee, or one ounce per per- son with cereals and fresh fruits. 3. No sugar will be used for icings or coatings on cakes or other similar. purposes, and the making and service of cakes and pastries requiring con- siderable quantities of sugar should be discouraged as far as possible. 4. No sugar whatever may be used for making sherbets or water ices, and every additional means available should be patriotically employed to reduce sugar consumption to the ut- most. The administration will insist upon strict compliance with these regula- tions, and any violations will be dealt with promptly and rigorously. HOWARD HEINZ, Federal Food Administrator . for Pennsylvania. In addition to above the following must be observed by retail merchants: Sales to consumers shall be a max- imum of two pounds of sugar 1n towns, and a maximum of five pounds of sugar in country districts. The sale of twenty-five pounds of sugar at a time for preserving fruit is permitted on certificate as before. Confectioners, soft drink makers, etc., have been cut down to about one- p half their normal supply, and consum- ers of sugar must practice the strict- est economy if they desire to have any sugar at all in the near future. Class 5 in the Baking Regulations is served, no other wheat-containing food may be served at the same meal. This eliminates the service with, or in addition to the regular bread serv- ice, of all pies and other pastries, cakes, crackers containing wheat, macaroni, wheat breakfast foods, and all other wheat-containing foods of whatever kind or nature. 4. No hotel, restaurant or club shall consume more than six pounds of wheat flour for every ninety meals served. In estimating the flour con- sumed there must be included the wheat content of bread and rolls and all other bakery products, breakfast foods and alimentary pastes. 5. No wheat products shgll be served unless ordered. Bread or rolls must not be placed on the table until the meal is served, and then in indi- vidiual portions only. (Signed) HOWARD HEINZ, Federal Food Administrator for Pennsylvania. The One-man Farm. Probably more food is brought forth per capita of producers on an American corn belt farm than on any other wide section of soil on earth, says the Minneapolis Journal. In this belt most quarter section farms are operated by two men in the field and one woman in the house. These three produce food enough for at least 50 persons. Owing to the shortage of efficient farm labor, a good many of these farms are being operated this year by one man, aided by machinery and la- bor-saving devices. In order to suc- ceed in such an undertaking the far- mer must indeed be a full hand and have a good head for affairs. But many of them are doing it and doing it well. Just such emergencies as this war labor shortage will bring to American farming permanent efficiency methods and equipment, ways and devices that save steps, lifting and useless delays. The most expensive item in farming is human labor. Inefficient help can work havoe on a farm. It is a univer- sal complaint among farmers that they had their wives wear out their lives “working for the hired man.” In | thousands of cases the year’s ac- counts, if kept, would show that the hired man is the only part to the farm transaction that has come out of it with a balance in his favor. If the farm price of produce de- clines after the war, the wages of farm hands must decline, or the far- mer must take up the system of ma- chine-made crops, eliminating surplus work in the care of stock by automat- ic feeders, the use of gravity and gas- oline in handling grain and feed, the use of concrete to obviate frequent re- pairs of buildings, the keeping of high-class stock to save feed wasted on inferior animals, and the use of automobile and motor truck to save time on the road. Inasmuch as the cost of labor will robably remain high, profitable farm- ing is due to become more and more capital, more brains and less land than our fathers used in the days of cheap things. Standards Why is it that United States Tires are setting new records for mileage and serviceability ? Why is it that the sales of these tires are constantly mounting by leaps and bounds ? The answer is found in the fac- tories where United States Tires are made. ” Standards of construction for these tires are higher than ever be- fore known in the tire industry. < Makers of tire fabrics tell us that the standards we have given them for United States Tire fabrics are higher than any previously known. Likewise through every process of construction from crude rubber to finished tires—we have set new and higher standards everywhere. These standards work out on your car in the practical economy de- manded by war-times. United States Tires will raise any car to higher efficiency. : There is a type to suit every con- dition of service. The nearest United States Sales and Service Depot dealer will cheer- fully aid in selecting right tires for your requirements. CHARLES M. McCURDY, PRESIDENT. The First National Bank.

To make what is left go around fairly requires care, ingenuity and de- nial.” Hence the restrictions on the grocer, the baker, the household and the public eating place. * The rules governing the use of wheat and wheat products in public eating places are summarized below. It is the duty of the Food Adminis- tration to insist upen compliance, and violations will be promptly reported to the State Administrator. Following are the rules governing the use of wheat and wheat products in public eating places: 1. Victory bread or rolls (desig- nated as Class 1 in the Baking Reg- ulations) may be served to the amount of two ounces per person per meal. 2. Corn bread, Boston brown bread, baking powder biscuits, muffins or other quick breads containing not more than one-third of wheat (desig- nated as Class 5 in the Baking Regu- lations) may be served to the amount of four ounces per person per meal. Quick breads containing no wheat whatever may be served in quanti- ties without limit. 3. When the prescribed two ounces of Victory bread, or other bread, or cereal product containing the same or a similar proportion of wheat or when four ounces of quick bread of the character specified as societies.” “Christian Endeavor?” began the “No.” “Young People’s Union?” “Epworth League?” : : “That’s it.

Overwhelming Proof Goldine Wins Again Local Man Feels 100% Better—Wife no Longer Helps Him. In this man’s statement we have overwhelming proof that Goldine is actually rebuilding the lives of men and women, Hundreds have forward- ed and given their testimonials of the wonderful benefit received. Read this man’s story: “L. G. Johnson is my name, and I live at Brookfield, Pa., R. F. D. Yes, I am a farmer, the most independent occupation on earth but it takes good health back of it. I am going to tell you about some of my ealth prob- ems, that is, the ones I have had. A year ago I had stomach, heart, kidney and liver trouble. I had been trou- bled for six long years and I had doc- tor after doctor. None, not even the best I could find, helped me, although they had helped others. I took medi- cine after medicine, still I did not im- prove. My wife would have to rub my back before I could get out of bed in the mornings; with no .appetite and feeling low in weight, I was mis- erable. It is now a year since I took Goldine; my wife no longer has to aid me to get up in the morning;*I eat good and also sleep fine, in fact, 1 feel just great. To top it off, I gained 18 pounds. If any one wants an argument just let them tell me that Goldine is no good.” The above is one of the many testi- monials from people who have receiv- ed actual benefit. You can secure Goldine at Green's Pharmacy, Bellefonte, Pa. 63-25 A Second Appeal TT weeks ago the Telephone Company re- quested all telephone users to please refrain from asking the operators for the correct time, ex- plaining that this request was necessary because of the considerable volume of such calls which, if eliminated, would so reduce the abnormal calling volumes as to permit of a redistribution of both operators’ service and telephone equip- ment, and result in the Company’s ability to care for the very heavy telephone demands of the present and the even greater demands for service which are expected in the months to come. It was explained that the same service on the part of the operators, the same length of time, and an equal general use of telephone equipment are necessary to answer such questions as are required to complete an ordinary connection. While the response to this request has been very gratifying and the volume of such calls has decreased appreciably, the burden has not been entirely lifted. We, therefore, again bring the matter to the attention of those users of the service who did not tread, or who were not impressed by our earlier appeal, urging them to discontinue the practice of depending upon the telephone oper- ator for the correct time. The Telephone Company feels that it can count on a continuation of the public’s helpful atti- tude which will be of very real assistance in meeting the ever-increasing volumes of tele- phone calls and demands for telephone service.
