CONSERVATION IS EXPLAINED BY OFFICIAL FOOD ADMINISTRATION ANSWERS QUESTIONS OF MANY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO OBEY TELLS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF AMERICANS ON WHEATLESS AND PORKLESS DAYS At the urgent request of thousands of patriotic farmers and others living in the rural districts of California, the United States food administration for the state has announced the 1918 voluntary food conservation program in definite form as follows: Have two Wheatless days (Monday and Wednesday) in every week, and one Wheatless meal in every day. On Wheatless days and in Wheatless meals of other days use no crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast food or other cereal food containing 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 cereals than wheat, and if you buy it, buy war bread. Our object is, that we should buy and consume one third less wheat products than we did last year. Eat more potatoes. Have two Porkless days (Tuesday on mighty slim sustenance if it subsisted for thirty days on the value of the dyestuffs in a thousand postage stamps, but we have no means of knowing how much food a Belgian infant consumes. Here's what Editor Rideout says: "About twice in a while some one starts a yarn about a million cancelled stamps buying a scholarship, or saving a life, or endowing a college. "Owing to the war, they are worth more now, and a thousand will keep a Belgian baby a month. Rather the "dyes" which can be extracted from them are worth enough to provide food for this length of time. How the report started, no one knows, but a little "figgering" will show how foolish it is. A thousand stamps, just as they come from Washington, mucillage and all, weight two ounces. Possibly the ink used on them will weigh one tenth of an ounce. Some colored inks are expensive while others are comparatively cheap, but if we place the average value, for the sake of an estimate, at $8 a pound, we have five cents worth to the thousand stamps. After the cost of "extracting" it from the stamp is deducted, and of separating it from the cancelling ink, there wouldn't be much left for the baby. "But to make sure Mrs. Dr. Kellar, of Yorba Linda, wrote to Red Cross headquarters at Washington, and has a letter from the acting vice chairman who says they have no way of using them."

As to bread, if you bake it at home, use other cereals than wheat, and if you buy it, buy war bread. Our object is, that we should buy and consume one third less wheat products than we did last year. Eat more potatoes. Have two Porkless days (Tuesday and Saturday) in every week, and one Porkless meal each day. Porkless means without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products, fresh or preserved. Use fish, poultry and eggs. As a nation we eat and waste nearly twice as much meat as we need. After March 13, California will observe a Meatless Tuesday in addition to the Porkless days. Until March 13, beef, lamb, veal and mutton may be consumed on each day. Make every day a Fat saving day (Butter, lard, lard substitutes, etc.). Fry less, bake, broil, boil or stew foods instead. Save meat drippings, use these and vegetable oil for cooking instead of butter. Make every day a Sugar saving day. Use less sugar. Less sweet drinks and candy containing sugar should be used in war time. As a nation we have used twice as much sugar as we need. Use Fruits, Vegetables and Potatoes abundantly. These foods are healthful and plentiful, and, at the same time, partly take he place of other foods which we must save. Raise all you can for home use. Use Milk wisely. Use all of the milk, waste no part of it. Loyalty in little things is the foundation of the national strength. Disloyalty in little things gives aid to the enemy. Preach and practice the "gospel of the clean plate." Report to the nearest food administration officer the name and address of any person discouraging the production or saving of food. Our problem is to feed the allies and our own soldiers abroad by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, butter and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of these and as little of all foods as will support health and strength. All saving counts for victory. GOVERNMENT ISSUES WARNING TO SOLICITORS Soliciting Thrift Stamps Ads by Publishers Must Cease The government has come to the relief of business men who have been hounded by certain newspaper publishers soliciting advertising boosting thrift stamp sales. Merchants are warned that the National War Savings Committee alone has authority to solicit such advertising. The following statement has been issued: It has come to the notice of the national war savings committee that solicitors of various publications are using this patriotic campaign as a means of inducing people to donate war savings advertising to their publications. This is not done with the authority of the national war savings committee, and merchants, advertisers and individuals are hereby requested not to contribute such copy, since it is our desire that there shall be no commercializing of the patriotic motives that prompt help in this important campaign. All requests for war savings advertising will come direct from the office of the state advertising bureau or from the state director. When such requests come, as come they will, we ask the hearty cooperation of all merchants, advertisers and interested individuals. Remember this warning is for your protection. It does not apply to the merchants and advertisers who are including war savings copy in their regular advertising. However we wish to protect you against solicitations from unauthorized persons, and if application is made to you for advertising space, please report the fact to this office, provided the party making solicitation does not bear a letter of official authorization from the state director or from the manager of the state advertising bureau.

These foods are wheat, beef, pork, butter and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of these and as little of all foods as will support health and strength. All saving counts for victory. The whole great problem of winning the war rests primarily on one thing; the loyalty and sacrifice of the American people in the matter of food. It is not a government responsibility, it is the responsibility of each individual. Each pound of food saved by each American citizen is a pound given to the support of our army, the allies and the friendly neutrals. Each pound wasted or eaten unnecessarily is a pound withheld from them. It is a direct personal obligation on the part of each of us to some one in Europe whom we are bound to help. EXAGGERATED STATEMENT SAYS EDITOR RIDEOUT Declares Belgian Baby Can't Live 30 Days on Thousand Postage Stamps After wasting hours of time hoarding up old envelopes and clipping the cancelled stamps therefrom, and after congratulating myself that we had turend in to the collectors a sufficient quantity to feed a Belgian baby a month, we find the following, written by the logically-minded editor of the Placentia Courier, who refuses to accept a statement as fact until he has subjected it to a process of reasoning. We confess that on the surface it appeared to us that the baby could live this office, provided the party making solicitation does not bear a letter of official authorization from the state director or from the manager of the state advertising bureau.

KAISER BELIEVES THEY ARE A GOOD INVESTMENT His August Nibs Heavy Purchaser of Liberty Bonds, is Claimed Kaiser Wilhelm is probably one of the largest holders of Liberty bonds. If suspicions of Allen Property Cusdian A. Mitchell Palmer prove correct, his Hohenzollern highness will be invested some 10 million dollars in American war loans before the war is over. The kaiser has been rated a shrewd business man, and knows a good thing when he sees it—but his investments in Liberty bands cannot be ascribed to Hohenzollern thrift. The kaiser was not "let in on" this good thing. He was pushed into it. The kaiser is known to have invested heavily in American securities and property—but so far the investigations of the allen property custodian and his hundreds of sleuths have failed to disclose any property standing in the name of Wilhelm—which goes to show that the kaiser believed in camouflage long before the war and never intended to leave his holdings open to summary confiscation when he decided that "Der Tag" had arrived. But at that Uncle Sam has probably located the kaiser's goods and has them stowed away safely in his strong box. The trail was seemingly struck when Adolph Pevenstedt came under investigation. Pavenstedt is the German banker and financier in committing theft. It has developed there is no restrictive sale of such unofficial who has the price clothing establishment. To correct such grossman George Sylvania has introduced it a crime, purported $300, or six months for any man to sell distinctive part that who cannot furnish it. The dealer has a true record of training the name of person and the date which shall be opened agents of the gov't has been referred to mittee, and action anticipated in the WILL PROSECUTION District Attorney not propose to sit anti-dragnet law ter. He has written Game commission phatically that he whereby he as should fail to prosecute violating the dragnet was the fishing industry county coast. Larkton in this county ture passed a law of the pernicious menace to the income use destroyed spishermen from a fought the legislature desire that they be net the Orange county hearts' content. Recently word that the Fish and who figured so prominently in the transactions between Ambassador Bernstorff and Bolo Pasha. Since they began to dig into Pavenstedt's affairs, officials have been amazed at the amount and variety of the interests standing in his name. More than 10 million dollars has already been turned up. What is known of his anticedents makes it highly improbable that he owns these interests himself. He must be holding them as a trustee for a hidden principal or "Cestul quin trust," as the lawyers call it. And the finger of probability points to a man residing at Potsdam. Whether the kaiser will ever get the Liberty bonds bought with the proceeds of his stocks and bonds is a matter which congress will settle after the war. For the present, German property seized and converted into Liberty bonds is not "confiscated"—but simply held for the duration of the war, and its income applied to the war purposes of the United States. If congress decides to take it outright, additional legislation must be passed. FOREST EXHIBIT AT NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW One of the Most Attractive Sights at The Big Show Last Week The forest service exhibit at the 8th National Orange show, at San Bernardino was the largest and best conservation exhibit ever made in California, according to the promoters of the Orange show. The forest service exhibit occupied the greater part of the food, conservation tent. It consisted of mechanical models, pictures and forest proposed to forget that the law exists and thus allow dragnetting to start again. The reason given was that with dragnets the supply of fish could be greatly increased. The protest of Orange county fishermen was that while the year's fish output might be increased the grounds might be ruined forever. District Attorney West does not mince matters in his letter. He tells the commission that as district attorney and as secretary of the county council of defense, he fails to see any reason for the step proposed, if such a step is proposed, and further he knows that it is his duty to bring prosecutions under that law, a duty that cannot be set aside by any action that the Fish and Game Commission may take. EARLY DECISION LIKELY IN SUGAR BEET PROBE Commission Finished Hearing Testimony and Will Soon Fix Price The commission appointed by the food commission to make an inquiry into what it costs to grow sugar beets has finished taking its testimony, and its decision will be announced within a few days. "The decision will be reached immediately," declared Attorney Clyde Bishop upon his return Thursday from Stockton, where the taking of the testimony was concluded by the commission. "The commission is to meet again Wednesday, I understand, and with the figures already compiled, there should be no delay in the decision." After the taking of testimony of Southern California growers, including a number from Orange county, to the draft, who will be allowed to enter this new branch of service. Heretofore only men above and below the draft age have been granted this opportunity. All men interested may make application at the military bureau in room 114 California Hall, Berkeley. COUNTY COUNCILS HELPING ENROLL SKILLED MEN Cooperating With Government to Eglist Working Force Cooperating with the United States government in an effort to register all classes of skilled labor which can be utilized in any way in helping to win the war, all county councils of defense in the state, all offices of the state free employment bureau and scores of private individuals who have volunteered their services are enrolling men for service on the new registration cards just sent out by the United States public service reserve. The enrollment in California of skilled workers of all kinds is under the direction of Arthur P. Will, California director of the public service reserve. While it is sought to register mechanics, carpenter, metal trades workers, and practically every other variety of skilled worker for service with the government, no immediate promise of employment is made. The registration blanks are to be forwarded to Washington with the idea that when Uncle Sam needs a certain class of workers to carry on his war program he can lay his hands upon them through the registration card system. The fullest cooperation is being given in the registration by all county councils of defense and by the state free employment bureau. Through John P. McLaughlin, state labor commis-sioner and G. P. Saxon superintendent. One of the Most Attractive Sights at The Big Show Last Week The forest service exhibit at the 8th National Orange show, at San Bernardino was the largest and best conservation exhibit ever made in California, according to the promoters of the Orange show. The forest service exhibit occupied the greater part of the food, conservation tent. It consisted of mechanical models, pictures and forest products emphasizing all phases of forestry and watershed protection. Models in action, showing the five principal causes of forest fires, and the effect of run off on forested and deforested slopes were installed. A huge cement model of a mountainous region with a system of check dams and reservoirs showing the mechanical means of flood control in Southern California attracted the attention of thousands daily. The models of forest lookout towers and ranger stations, built by Forest Ranger Maxfield were of great interest. A booth had been provided for visitors and decorated with the glass transparencies and enlarged photographs of forest scenes shown at the Panama Pacific exposition. Near the booth was a collection of articles made from California chaparral, which includes brooms made from the yucca plant, and smoking pipes from wild illac. Nearby was a model sawmill showing proper and improper ways of lumbering. The keynote of the entire exhibit was conservation of food, forest and water, as a means of securing national efficiency. The exhibit was under the charge of Forest Supervisor Charlton of the Angeles national forest, assisted by seven forest rangers as demonstrators. UNDER THE LION'S HIDE There have been frequent reports of late of persons wearing United States military uniforms to assist them in committing thefts and other crimes. It has developed upon inquiry that there is no restriction whatever on the sale of such uniforms, and anybody who has the price can buy them of clothing establishments. To correct such a condition Congressman George S. Graham of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill making it a crime, punishable by a fine of $300, or six months' imprisonment, for any man to sell a uniform or any distinctive part thereof to a man "The decision will be reached immediately," declared Attorney Clyde Bishop upon his return Thursday from Stockton, where the taking of the testimony was concluded by the commission. "The commission is to meet again Wednesday, I understand, and with the figures already compiled, there should be no delay in the decision." After the taking of testimony of Southern California growers, including a number from Orange county, which is the greatest sugar beet growing county in the state, the commission went to Stockton, where two days were used in taking the statements of thirty growers from Salinas, Pleasanton, Milpitas, Stockton and other points. "Conditions for sugar beet profits have been worse in that section of the state than they have here, and ours have been bad enough, declared Bishop. "The witnesses who testified showed an average production of only 8.26 tons per acre the past year. Most year the thirty men said that this last year they grew beets at a loss. The expense accounts ran about the same as they did in Southern California. The labor there is mostly Hindu, Korean and Japanese. They have very few Mexicans in their beet fields. "In my opinion, the testimony produced both in Los Angeles and in Stockton strongly bears out the contention that I have been making for months, that the sugar beet men have not been getting a fair price for their beets. We have had to go right up against the strong arm of the trust, and I am satisfied that in the evidence we have the trust beaten. I cannot see how the commission can do otherwise than reach a decision favorable to the growers." Bishop was accompanied by William Webster, field manager of the associated Sugar Beet Growers of California. The sugar refineries were represented by Capt. Fredericks. EMBARGO ON BEANS Prohibition of all shipments of white beans, except of limited quantities within the state for immediate consumption, has been ordered by the quartermaster-general of the United States army and the food administration. The ambargo, which was ordered February 16, became public last week when Frank H. Stuffel, special representative in Southern California of California Food Administrator Mer- in committing thefts and other crimes. It has developed upon inquiry that there is no restriction whatever on the sale of such uniforms, and anybody who has the price can buy them of clothing establishments. To correct such a condition Congressman George S. Graham of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill making it a crime, punishable by a fine of $300, or six months' imprisonment, for any man to sell a uniform or any distinctive part thereof to a man who cannot furnish proper identification. The dealer is directed to keep a true record of all such sales, containing the name and address of the person and the date of the transaction, which shall be open for inspection by agents of the government. The bill has been referred to the judiciary committee, and action on the matter is anticipated in the near future. WILL PROSECUTE FISHERMEN District Attorney L. A. West does not propose to sit by and allow the anti-dragnet law to become a dead letter. He has written to the Fish and Game commission and declared emphatically that he knew of no reason whereby he as district attorney should fail to prosecute any person caught violating the law. The dragnet was long a menace to the fishing industry along the Orange county coast. Largely through agitation in this county, the state legislature passed a law prohibiting the use of the pernicious net, which was a menace to the industry because its use destroyed spawn.. Commercial fishermen from around San Pedro fought the legislation, for it was their desire that they be allowed to dragnet the Orange county waters to their hearts' content. Recently word was received there that the Fish and Game Commission Prohibition of all shipments of white beans, except of limited quantities within the state for immediate consumption, has been ordered by the quartermaster-general of the United States army and the food administration. The ambargo, which was ordered February 16, became public last week when Frank H. Stuffel, special representative in Southern California of California Food Administrator Meritt, served notice to the Associated Jobbers of Los Angeles, through Traffic Manager Greggson of that organization. Lima beams only, of the white varieties, are excluded from the prohibition. All others must not be moved from their present location. The embargo applies to the varieties technically known as small white, large whites or Lady Washington's pea beans, tepary beans and navy beans. "How long the embargo will continue," Mr. Stuffel said, "we have no means of knowing. The prohibition came in the form of a telegram from Administrator Meritt, who received notice from Washington. "The purpose of the embargo is to maintain the bean food supply in its present places of storage and applies to all of California. The army, it is understood, soon may desire to purchase large quantities of beans, and does not wish the stock to be shifted where it may not be so quickly available." DRAFTED MEN MAY ENTER AMBULANCE SERVICE The military bureau of the University of California has been authorized to induct men into the service with the Allentown Ambulance units. This announcement is of particular interest to drafted men and those subject to restore themselves, much has been learned about kelp this last year. The state students find that the kelp not only restores itself in 60 to 90 days, but makes a lustier, more rapid growth after cutting. It is also found that cutting is the best cure for the disease to which kelp is subject as the uppermost fronds which receive the most light and heat are the chief sufferers; and cutting operates exactly as pruning a grape vine does. With the war demands for potash, which is used largely in explosives, special importance is given to every possible source of supply, importation being impossible, and the kelp has been shown to carry it in big quantities, having the power to separate it from the sea water and store it in stems and foliage. Thus the kelp industry has assumed prime war-time importance, and the by-product of fertilizer has been found to add to the humus content so sorely needed in most California soils. In case the people of Santa Barbara see fit to exploit the great resource they have in their kelp by harvesting it under regulation which limits the cutting to the recuperative power of the plants, the state will proceed to systematize the entire potash possibilities of the southern coast, bringing in every source of war material under strict regulation of the cutting. Eventually, in the opinion of experts this will have to be done.
