Housewives Told What Govern
ment Expects of Them in Way
of Conservation.
The first of half a million food
oards, instructing the*housewives of
Georgia what the Government will
expeot of them under new food con~
ditions arising #ince the original cards
of Beptember, were belug malled last
night by the Federal food administra.-
tion for Georgia,
The cards make a stirring appeal
for the conservation of wheat, beef,
pork, butter and sugar. They set
forth that the situation now has be
come critical simply because there is
not enough food in Kurope, yet the
soldiers of the Allles must be main
tained In full strength and their fam
iles must not face famine.
“The whole great problem of win
ning the war rests primarily on one
thing: The loyalty and sacrifice of
the American peopls in the matter of
food,” says a message from Herbert
Hoover, “It is now a Government
responsibility, it i{s the responsibility
of each individual, Pach pound of
food saved by each American citizen
is a pound given to the support of oun
army, and the Allles and the friendly
neutrals, Each pound wasted or eat
en unnecessarily is a pound withheld
from them. 71t is a direct personal ob-
Hgation on the part of each of us to
some one in Hurope whom we are
bourd to help.”
Rules regarding special food con
servation days are as follows:
Have two weatless days (Mon
day and Wednerday) In avery
weok, and one wheatless meal in
every day.
Explanation—On *“wheatless”
days and in “wheatless” meals of
other davs use no crackers, pas
tr{, macaron], breakfast food or
other cereal food oontaining
wheat, and use no wheat flour
in any form except the small
amount that may be needed for
thickening soups or gravies, or
for a binder in corn bread and
other cereal breads, As to bread,
if you bake it at home, use other
. oereals than wheat, and If you
* buy it, buy only war bread. Our
obfect is, that we should buy and
consume one-third less wheat
products than we did last year,
Have one meatless day (Tues-
Aay) In every week and one meat
less meal in every dndy Have two
porkless days (Tuesday and Sat
* urday) in every week. ‘
Explanation—"“Meatless” means
without any cattle, hog or sheep
products, On other days use
mutton and lamb in preference
_to. beef or pork. [‘Porklass"
means without pork, bacon, ham,
lard or pork products, fresh or
presérved. Use fish, poultry and
eggs. As a natlon we eat and
waste nearly twice as much meat
a 8 we need.
Make every day at fat-saving
day (butter, lard, lard-substi
tues, ete.).
Explanation—¥Fry less; bake,
Iroil, boll or stew foods Instead.
Save meat drippings; use these
and velegtable oils for ocooking
instead of butter, Butter has.
food values vital to children;
. therefore, give it to them. Use
it only on the table,, Waste no
soap; it is made from fat. Be
careful of all fats, We use and
waste two and a half times as
much fat as we need.
- Make every day a sugar-saving
%xphnnuon——mo less @sugar.
Tess sweet drinks and candy oon
taining sugar should be used in
. war time. As a nation we have |
used twice as much sugar as we
Uss frufts, wrm and po

Explanation—These foods are
&.:m;rul and plentiful, and, at
same time, }u.rdy take the

Use milk wisely.

The appointment of Dudley R.
Cowles as State organizer and State
representative of the Drama League
was announced Thursday hy Miss
Carolyn Cobb, who was retiring from
those offices. Mr. Cowies was ap
pointed by Miss Cobb, who had been
requested by the natiopal organiza
tion to name her own successor.
Mr. Cowles 1s the Southern repre
sentative of D, C. Heath & Co., K‘m
lishers, and closely in touch with all
the Southern States. Y
“I hope to put the Drama League
into closger touch with the American
Boldier in the training camps,” he
sald. '“We shall work with the exist
ing organizations, however, rather
than add another to the number of
associations which are at work for the
soldier,
‘“We hope to organize amateurs :nto
little companies to present plays at
the camps, and to interest the sol
dlers themselves In acting and stage
directing, #so they may conduct thea
ters of their own, with filaya such as
have been gjven on the British front.”
Mr. Cowles belleves the war should
not be permitted to destroy the work
of the Dra.n;‘a Igague. In explaining.
his views he quoted from an edi
torial in The New Republic:
Is the neglect of good drama
a wise war economy? There can
be no doubt that some members
of the Drama League are falling
to renew their membership, and
it looks as if they were almost
entirely influenced by the war,
4Fhis is an unfortunate result of
the inevitable tendency to give up
nonwar organizations. Most clubs
and entertainment societies have
quite properly suffered Eg{,xce we
jolned the belligerents. The peo
ple-who actively supported Wem,
for one thing, are busy with the
war. But the object of the Drama
league ls not to plek out good en
tertalnments or to encourage
playgoers to mprort amusing
plays. It is to direot attention
and ald to drama that is seriously
adyisable. No one xould put the
Drama League clains above the
claims of war or Red Cross work,
but until the saloon and the soda
fofintain and snappy stories and
the winter fu-don and the joy
gdc have disappeared from the
ce of America the watchman
will have a right to go up and
down crying, “Do not forget the
arclll wngu of looking out for
the civilization you are defending.
Join the Drama League.”

'We do not want to be considered alarmists, but the garden seed situation is really
critical. It is no exaggeration to say that you niust buy garden seed early or else you
will be compelled to do Without them.
There is goipg to be the greatest activity in garden making this spring that the
United States has ever seen and there has never been a time in the history of the seed
business when stocks of seeds were so small in comparison with demand.
In our mall order department we are working some 250 employees. Every
facility in that department is strained to its limit, yet we find it impossible to keep
up with the constantly increasing flood of seed orders.
Advices from other prominent seed houses show that they are having a similar
experience and it is- plainly apparent that there will not be enough garden seed to
go round this year. Those’ who put off seed buying until planting time, as they
usually ‘do, will be disappointed. -
We havé already found it mecessary to limit the quantity of seed sold to“any one
person on over one hundred items listed in our catalogue. On many items we are
already sold out and they can not be replaced. This condition will steadily grow
worse as the season advances.
We nrge you to buy seeds now, not on our account, but to.safeguard the seed
supply for your garden this spring. Get a catalogue, make out a list of your seed
needs at once, buy and take them home, In this way only can you be sure of
having them. -
Further, we ask that you buy no more seeds than you are reasonably sure of
needing. We want to make the limited quantity of seeds available go as far as
possible in supplying the gardens of the South. It is a patriotic duty to produce food
in 1918 and the home garden is the only chance that tens of thousands of town and
city dwellers have to produce food.
Please take this warning as to the seed sitnation seriously. It is for your benefit,
not ours, and you must act promptly or go without seeds. Buy your seeds now
regardless of whether you buy from us or from others.

Construction Chief Hopes Supply
Men Will Be Generous in
Bids on Material,
“If the supply men wiil be generous
in thefr bids on material, the work of
paving Atlanta’'s streets can be under
way in a very short (ime now,” stated
H. 1. Colller, city chief of construc
tion, after the county board of public
wcrka had agreed to give financial
ald. Mr, Colller will advertise at once
for bids on the work,
The construction chief was delight
ed at the action of the county board
and stated that many needed street
improvements will be possible this
year. Work on several streets at the
game time ls possible, and Mr. Collier
will endeavor to let contracts to dif
ferent firms in order that the work
may be rushed. However, {f low bids
are not submitted, the construction
department will purchase supplies and
do the paving itself. ’
The Councll street committee has
decided to cut out free paving this
vear and will expect property owners
who benefit to pay their part on the
work, The Huddleston ordinance,
passed in 1910, is to be invoked. This
ordinance requires property owners
on 880-foot streets to pay a 80-cent
assessment for street paving, prop
erty’ owners on 40-foot streets to pay
40 cents, and on 50-foot streets to pay
50 cents, By this method the streets
ordinary fund can be made to go
twice as far as ordinarily.
