THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION RULES FOR HOUSEHOLDERS All kinds of food, especially wheat, meats, fats, and sugar should be economically used. No food shall be hoarded. Hoarding is the holding, contracting, or arranging for food by any person in excess of his reasonable requirements for use or consumption by himself and dependents for a reasonable time. This does not refer to stocks of home-grown vegetables and home canned or preserved fruits. All householders who can entirely eliminate the use of wheat until the next harvest, about September 1st, should do so. Householders who are obliged to use wheat should not use more than a total of 16 pounds of wheat flour or prepared wheat, in any form, per person per week, including the wheat flour in Victory Bread, and including the wheat flour or prepared wheat in crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast, and other foods. Victory Bread, is bread manufactured by Bakers under the rules of the United States Food Administration. In estimating flour consumption 1½ pounds of Victory Bread may be considered equal to 1 pound of wheat flour. In buying wheat flour an equal weight of other cereals as substitutes for wheat flour must be bought pound for pound. This is the 50-50 Rule. In buying mixed flour, the substitutes in them may be counted so that a smaller proportion of substitutes may be bought with these flours than with white flour. In buying graham and whole wheat flour, (containing not less than 95% of the entire wheat — 6 10 pounds of substitutes shall be purchased with every pound of such flour. Wheat flour substitutes are hominy, corn grits, corn meal, corn flour, edible corn starch, barley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour, buckwheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soybean flour and feteria. F. & C. C. Cars Going to Cuba Sixty-four new track conductors, formerly used on the old Florence & Cripple Creek railroad in the Cripple Creek district, have been taken apart and shipped to Cuba to help the Island republic solve the transportation problem, which is quite as acute there as it is in this country. Cuba is at war with Germany, having declared hostilities on the Central empires soon after the United States entered the ranks of the belligerents and the administration at Washington is helping the Cubans in every possible way. Other equipment of the F. & C. C. road is being shipped out of the Cripple Creek district to various points in the southwest, where it is needed. Most of the cars of the company that were marooned in the Canon City yards when the track in Phantom Canyon was washed out five or six years ago, are now doing duty in Washington or Oregon. An Opportunity for the Boys of Fremont County One hundred Colorado boys between the ages of 16 and 21 are to be given free training in farm work at the expense of the state at the Agricultural college at Fort Collins and applicants from Fremont county are wanted. Both the Colorado State Council of Defense and the United States Boys’ Working Reserve for Colorado are behind the proposition and are desirous of enlisting boys who want to serve the state and nation in increasing the crop production. If there are any enterprising boys in Canon City who would like to take this special course of study, they should enter their names at once. The instruction is to be given from July 8 to July 19, Inclusive, at a camp to be held on the grounds of the Agricultural college, which will supply the teachers. The State Council of Defense last Tuesday made an appropriation to pay all expenses of the boys, except their railroad fares to and from Fort Collins. The railroad fares will be the only expense to the boys. Boys furnish bed, pillow, and blanket. It will be pleasure and work combined. U. S. army officers will give the boys a little daily military drill and the camp will be under army discipline. Instruction will be given in the following work: teaming, including the care, feeding, harnessing, and driving of horses; farm machinery, including the use and simple repair at mowers, reapers, binders, rakes, plows, and harrows; general tractor work: hay flour and meals. Householders in towns and cities may not buy more than % of a barrel of flour or 2 lbs. of Sugar at any one time. Householders in the country may not buy more than % of a barrel of flour or 5 pounds of sugar at any one time. In no event shall any purchaser have more than 30 days' supply of either on hand. Householders should not use more than % pounds of sugar per person per week. In addition to the above, however, sugar may be used for home canning, and will be available to the householder for that purpose upon his signing a certificate that such sugar is desired and will be used for that purpose. No wheat flour, or prepared wheat in any form, should be used for any purpose other than human consumption. No wheat fit for human consumption should be used for other purposes. Meats of all kinds and poultry, and more particularly beef, should be most economically used, eliminating all waste. Purchasers of these products should be restricted and the quantity prepared for each meal reduced. Consumption of all meats, including poultry, should be reduced as nearly as possible to 2 pounds per week per person over four years of age. Fresh milk, and milk in evaporated and condensed form and cheese may be liberally used. Butter may be used for normal consumption. No more ice should be used than is absolutely necessary. To save transportation, local supplies should be grown and used. These regulations are necessarily subject to change at any time as the needs of the Allies and our own needs demand.

By the end of the century, an ancient fraternity of jacobins has established a marshy district near Amiens, France, drained by tiny rivulets which converge in the mountains of the world-famous River Somme, according to an article by C. B. Bramlet, following the Royal Geographic Society's Society, in the Wide World Magazine. This ancient Guild, his writes, is unanimously in the midst of the first at the end of the famous O'Connell church in Vienna in 1220. The fortifications are in the heart here and called, till the rich land reclaimed from the atmosphere in much the same way that they did then The islets, rakes, carrots, sweet jm'iih or onions, and the gardener reach them in picturesque guise. The produce is floated down the Somme river to the Amiens market. Since the war mainly all the able-bodied men have been called to the colors and the work is carried on by the women. So inherent is the love of gardening in these island cultivators that some of them who are attached to a battery of heavy artillery, find time to grow vegetables in the intervals of summer. They sell their produce at good prices to the officers. BUTTONS IN GREAT DEMAND. Wartime Necessities May Force Government to Take Over All Suitable Stocks in Country. Hutton's stock of the many things that the government has to guarantee itself has in times of war. It is reported that the stock of buttons in this country, that is to say, the stock suitable for military purposes is to be taken over by the government. Manufacturers of buttons to all appearances full for short in their production, and the shirking is in tenements lay the fuel that England also seems short of buttons and has been in the past importing from the United States. Boots are used in enormous quantities for the clothing of the fighting men. and the government, it is reported, is taking an inventory of the country's stock of buttons of metal, born and vegetable ivory and may save the manufacturers the trouble of looking for customers. Good prices will be put in by the government. CAT ON MUFFLER HALTS AUTO. A motorist may find water in the gasoline, water in the gears, but he doesn’t often find a cat on the muffler. Charles Faust of Somerville, Mass., believes he has the strangest cat that ever lived on a ton. While driving, Mr. Kaust honked his horn and thereupon, strange, protesting sounds came from the inside of the air. After a thorough examination, a black cat was found comfortably in the flesh of the body, or emaciation. These come from impoverished blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches the blood, stops the waste of strength and tissue, and builds up healthy flesh. Thin, pale, puny, and scrofulous children are made plump, rosy, and robust by Dr. Pierce's Discovery. They like it too. In recovering from "Grippe," or in convalescence from pneumonia, fever, or other wasting diseases, it speedily and surely invigorates and builds up the whole system. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets at work all the processes of digestion and nutrition, rouses every organ into perfect action, and brings back health and strength.

If the man who comes around with a truck wagon is trying to raise my own greens, he is liable to boycott me, and I may not have any vegetables all season.” A TIME FOR EVERYTHING. “Gather me rosebuds while you may,” remarked the boy. “All in due season,” said the boy. “This is the time for clucking snowballs.” And he proceeded with the hard-fought hard-fought. “I am in the hard-fought.” “BEST MEDICINE FOR WOMEN” Whitby Lydia E.
