made
The Great Neighbor
By JOSEPHUS DANIELS
Secretary of the Navy.
The Red Cross recognizes neither party, nor
race, nor creed. It is world-wide in scope
and humane in purpose. It has no political
nor economic ends to serve. It only asks
where it can be helpful to men and women
in distress—afflicted by disease, overtaken
by some sudden disaster or caught in the
ordeal of war. There it finds its place and
opportunity. There it springs to sen e man
kind.
The Red Cross is the Great Neighbor,
it treats every man as a brother, and asks
no return. If the world of toiling people is
a little more comfortable, a little happier, a little
stronger for the struggle of life through its effort, the Red
Cross is content. And while it is not affiliated exclusively
with any religious body, it is essentially a Lay Brotherhood
and Sisterhood of all denominations, putting in practice the
teachings of all religions,—unselfish service and good deeds.
The works of mercy which it is banded together to accom
plish are the result and evidence of its noble sincerity and
inspiring faith.
In the great emergency of the present war the Red Cross
is doubly enlisted. In all it does to help us to win, it is help
ing to save and maintain those ideals of faithfulness and
honor, kindness and loyalty on which its own existence rests.
And every man, woman and child who realizes this—
realizes the peril we are in—and who can help the Great
Cause in no other way, can at least support the generous
efforts of the Red Cross. It is the best equipped agency in
the world to bring succor in the day when only organized
and well directed help can avail.
PLANS TO ENCOURAGE
WHEAT PRODUCTION
Food Administration Passes Ruling
Favoring Farmers Who Grow Wheat
In Order To Induce A Great Acre
age Being Sown.
Atlanta, May 9.—The Federal Food
Administrator for Georgia, following
his announcement a couple of days
ago of a ruling permitting farmers to
grind and" carry in their homes, 60
days supply of wheat at one time in
stead of 30 days, is now engaged in
an effort to work out further plans
for Georgia which will encourage an
increase in wheat production in the
state. The hope is that the country
districts, at least, and ultimately the
whole state, may attain I hat status
'wherein this population 'will actually
"live at home” and come wholly out
of the market as purchasers of (lour
milled from wheat grown in other
sections of the country.
It is fully realized that Georgit is
not and probably will not ever be a
wheat growing state for the general
market, but the state can produce a
sufllcient quantity of wheat to, at
least, feed its own farming popula
tion on what (lour they eat.
For earache, toothache, pains, burns
scalds, sore throat, try Dr. Thomas'
hlectic Oil, a splendid remedy for
emergencies.—Adv. 4

WHEATPROGRAM
Thousands of Retail Grocers Sup
port Food Administration
Rules.
SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed — Allied Food Shortage In
creases—America Mutt
Feed Fightera.
Explaining the United States Fond
Administration's new 50-50 wheat reg
ulations is a war Mme task the Ameri
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Mnny stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat sav
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing to curry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer Is now requir
ed to Why one pound of cereal substi
tute for every pound of whent flour.
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. Tills 50-50 sale is made by
weight and not by value of the com
modities. There is, of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soya bean flour, Fetcrita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat flour—
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed flours form another excep
tion. Where any flour contains 50
per cent or less of wheat It may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the flour Is mixed at the rate of 00
per ce»t. wheat and 40 per cent of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
prepared Infant’s and Invalid’s food
containing flour may be sold.
Thnt the approved substitutes may
be assorted Is a fact many grocers
and. housewives overlooked for a time.
For Instance, If a customer wishes to
buy a 24 pound sack of flour the nec
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn
grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as a waste purchase.
There are mnny household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made Into cofnbread, corn muf
fins or used In the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch Is useful In making cus
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
In enke boklng. Corn grits fried like
mush forms n delicious dish, or it may
he used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oats ure used largely as breakfast por
ridge or In oatmeal cookies or In
making muffins.
Buckwheat flour may be nsed In
bread mnklng, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat flour, but Is especially choice In
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast
With 11 wheatless meals needed
each week In America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.

Confessions of a
German Deserter
The Pillaging and
Ravaging of
Belgium
is told m detail by one who

The author—a young German—

Paris. He participated in the en
tire campaign until the battle of
Mons, in which he was wounded
and sent to a hospital from which
he escaped over the Dutch fron

weeks have devoted much time and
study to the subject.
The six standard types of locomo

many miscellaneous types and varie
ties of locomotives now in service,
embracing engines built according to
500 or more varying specifications.
This is the first time that any real for

the wide standardization of locomo

The contracts were awarded on
terms much nrore favorable to the rail

The order was distributed opnrox-
