Although the new wheat-dour con- ' negation rules draw nearer the line of i rationing than any previous order?, Ilia uccessi of tho new program must depend to a conhldcrible extent on tho patriotic support of tho American people food administration omelals anert , that the new program llnmliiR wheat- 'flour product to one and one-half pounds for each person a week la ab. olnfl.v a military ntcrtilly. and that nr one "ho Intentionally Tlotatea It commit a danerouly unpalrlotle set. Obstruction of the new conservation regulations will not bo tolerated by the food administration ' nana for keeping a close check on commercial bakers have been announced, to see that all liso tho Increased amount of wheat t-ubstltutes 25 per Cent as ordered by tho administration. State food administrators will tnko such action as they see lit on minor viola- , tlons, but serious or continued disregard of tho rulca will be handled by ofltclals here, who are empowered to revoke li censes and force disloyal food handlers out of business. ITU ate persona who may seek to hoard to gratify their appetites while patriotic cltlicns are co-operating In the conservation of wheat will meet equal severity. It was said, and the requisition ing yesterday of large Blocks of grain held In New Mexico by two men of Ger man extraction will be followed by simi lar action where the evidence warrants. Systematic inspections or commercial bakeshops was determined upon to pro tect from the unscrupulous the majority of bakers who aro observing loyally all food-conservation regulations. Andre Tardleu, French high commis sioner to the United States, has ad dressed an appeal to the American people to send as much wheat flour as possible to France during 1018, nnd the food ad ministration must depend upon tho co operation of the people to meet his re quest. Mr. Tardleu said: "The dally bread consumption of the elll population of France has been re duced from twenty-six ounces to ten and one-half ounces. Last year's har Nesta were scanty and are already ex hausted. To continue to feed Belgium, America must greatly .Increase her wheat acreage this spring and reduce her own wheat consumption." That all farmers sow more spring wheat than ever before and that every American family raise Its own vege tables this year, will be tho appeal to the people by 25,000 four-mlnuto men, starting today. It will not bo difficult for housewives to obtain more than their share of wheat-flour products If they are inclined to exerclso their Ingenuity In such di MCtlons, but In view of the present nlt uatlon officials liavo no hesitancy In saying that such acts would strike straight at the cause for which the United States Is fighting and would make the task of tho American soldiers all the more difficult.

Various lmproements aro expected to place tho Philadelphia tuberculosis Institute In tho front rank of sanita riums battling with consumption. Tho singular position which nush Hospital occupies In accepting patients In far advanced stages nnd In treating without pay a majority of Its cases is responsi ble for Its growing prominence. In going "over tho top" In caring for tubercular soldiers, probably as the first of institutions of Its character, Itush Hosptl.il authorities are anticipating a national reputation. "France has found that Its facilities for caring for tuberculosis soldiers aro Inadequate," said Dr. T Mellor Tyson. "When the war Is oer we shall still le to caro for lung affections re sulting from It for fle years." What the campaign Is expected to make possible for nush Hospital, ac cording to the trustees" statement. Is the following: Two unfinished floors of the city hos pital, left uncompleted In 1D10, will be completed, gllng a capacity for 100 beds. These will bo nt the disposal of the surgeon general. A new X-ray ap paratus for diagnosis of tuberculosis In early stages will bo Installed. A training school for nurses will bo es tablished. There will also be an Increase In the social service department work that will permit more nrses to visit the homes and keep discharged cases under supervision a longer period of time. At Malvern, Chester County, the country branch of the Institution, there are to be constructed two war emergency units or pavilions to treat and care for 100 affected soldiers, to cost approxi mately 130,000 each. In all, nush Hospital will Immediately expand Its resources tn caro for 100 more pj.tlents. VThese beds will be at tho dispnrul of the medical branch of tho aimv ns soon as the War Department is ready to nsslgn any of the American army to the caro of a hospitkl special ising In treatment of tuberculosis pa tients. Their will be a foundation upon which provisions can be ma4o to care for BOO to lOOO.FOiaiers ir ine war mi thorlties require it.
