A PROCLAMATION, © Many causes have contributed to create the necessity for a more.inten- sive effort on the part of our people to save food in order that we may supply our associates in the war with the’ sustenance vitally necessary to them in these days of privation and stress. _The reduced productivity of Europe because of large diversion of man-power to the war, the part fail- ure of harvest and the elimination of the more distant markets for. food- stuffs through the destructionof ship- ping, places the burden of their sub- sistence more largely on our shoul- ders. The Food Administration has form- ulated suggestions which, if followed will enable us to meet this great re- sponsibility without any real- incon- venience on our part. Im order that we may reduce our consumption of wheat and wheat pro- ducts by ,30 per cent—a reduction imperatively necessary to provide the supply ‘for overseas—wholesalers, jobbers and retailers should purchase and resell to their customers only 70 per ceut of the amounts used in 1917. All manufacturers of clementary pastes, biscuits, crackers, pastry and breakfast cereals should reduce their purchases and consumption of wheat and wheat flour to 70 per cent of their 1917 requirements. Consumers should reduce their purchases of wheat pro- ducts for home preparation to at most 7° per cent of those of last year, or} when buying bread should nurchase | mixed cereal breads from the bakers To provide sufficient cereal food, homes, public eating places, dealers and manufacturers should substitute otatoes, vegetables, corn,, barley, bought. Sale by millers to wholesalers and wholesalers to retailers of only 70 per cent of the amount of wheat flour sold T last year, | fol- lows: “The following is a summary of tHe rules that have. been formulated by the United States Food Administra- tion, with the approval of the Presi- dent, in order to effect the further conservation in foodstuffs necessary to support the Allies and our own armed forces over the next four months, These rules are effective from the morning of Monday, January 28. “The effectiveness of these rules is dependent solely upon the good will of and the willingness to sacrifice by the American people. In the last analysis the success or failure of any plan such as here outlined rests with the people. We are dependent upon the co-operation of the trades. “We have only one police force— the American women, and we depend upon her to organize in co-operation with our state and local food admja- istrators to see that these rules are obeyed by that small minority who may fail. 2 “Part of the rules will be enforced under the Lever Food Act; otuer parts are voluntary, and will depend for their success upon public senti- ment. Our experience hitherto has shown a willingness of the vast ma- pority of consumers and a full co- operation of the trades, to underso the self-sacrifice necessaffy to render such measures effective. The small minority who refuse to co-operate should not be allowed to defeat the Nation’s necessities, “1, As their part in reducing consumption of wheat flour, the con- sumers of the country are calied up- on, in purchasing such flour, to buy | rat the same time an equal weight of jthe other cereals (cornmeal, corn ‘starch, corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rice, rice tlour, catineal, | rolled “sale buckwheal tous: nein thing that does not’ require dieting or calisthenics?

When bodil nutrition is normal, the stomach di- gests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the differ- ent parts of the body causing the var- ious organs to properly perform their functions. Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate the new herbal stomach refnedy, which is now being introduced here. It: is purely vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial re- sults are noticed from the first day.
