GIVE NEW ORDERS TO THE EATING HOUSES FOOD ADMINISTRATION DEMANDS FURTHER RESTRICTIONS IN CONSERVATION PLANS. SEVENTEEN AND A HALF MILLION TONS OF FOODSTUFFS NEEDED IN EUROPE. A new and far more stringent program of food saving for all public eating places, effective on and after October 21, which will affect nine million regular and occasional patrons, is announced by the United States Food Administration at Washington, through the California Administration. These regulations apply to all places where cooked food is sold to be eaten on the premises, such as hotels, clubs, restaurants, boarding houses, dining cars and steamships. Observance of the restrictions will materially aid in fulfilling the nation's pledge to save and export 17,500,000 tons of food prior to June 30 next. The twelve general orders, which furnish the specific measures by which the Food Administration plans to carry out, so far as public eating places are concerned, the announced plan that for the next year the American food conservation program will be a direct reduction in the consumption of all foods rather than special. GENERAL ORDER 12. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served what is known as double cream or cream de luxe; and in any event, no cream containing over 20 per cent of butter fat shall be served. To understand the purpose and object of the orders familiarity with Mr. Hoover's message of October 15 and the "GENERAL PLAN" containing the suggestions to the public dining service is necessary. A GOING DISTRICT "One of the best cotton-growing sections in the world." Such is the proud boast of the producers of the Palo Verde Valley in the eastern end of Riverside county, and they point to their ever-increasing and abundantly yielding fields as proof. The Palo Verde Valley may be said to have come to the front in cotton production in the space of two years. The fleecy crop has been grown in the district for a longer period and, in fact, was successfully tried out in the valley many years ago, but it was never extensively planted until 1916. In that year an area estimated at around 5000 acres was planted to cotton. Last year this had been increased to 8000 acres. The 1918 crop, according to estimates from Blytue, amounts to fully 15,000 acres. The total area in crops of all kinds this year is estimated at 16,000 acres. There are 4000 acres in alfalfa, 4000 acres in milo maize and 800 acres in broom corn. The last named crop is rapidly coming to the front. Tepary beans have been a complete success in the valley this year and Sudan grass has been largely planted on the separate acres of most ranches.

The twelve general orders, which furnish the specific measures by which the Food Administration plans to carry out, so far as public eating places are concerned, the announced plan that for the next year the American food conservation program will be a direct reduction in the consumption of all foods rather than special "drives" and emergency regulations such as meatless and wheatless days, follow: GENERAL ORDER 1. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served any bread or other bakery product which does not contain at least 20 per cent of wheat flour substitutes, nor shall it serve or permit to be served to any one person at any one meal more than 2 ounces of this bread, known as Victory Bread, or if no Victory Bread is served, more than 4 ounces of other breads (such as corn bread, muffins, Boston brown bread, etc.). Sandwiches or bread served at boarding camps, and rye bread containing 50 per cent or more of pure rye flour, are expected. NOTE:—The exception of SANDWICHES from the limited portion rule is general and not confined to sandwiches served in boarding camps. GENERAL ORDER 2. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served bread or toast as a garniture or under meat. GENERAL ORDER 3. No public eating place shall allow any bread to be brought to the table until after the first course is served. NOTE:—When a meal consists of ONLY ONE COURSE the bread may be served concurrently with the meal. GENERAL ORDER 4. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served to one patron at any one meal more than one kind of meat. For the purpose of this rule meat shall be considered as including beef, mutton, pork, poultry and any by-products thereof. GENERAL ORDER 5. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served any bacon as a garniture. GENERAL ORDER 6. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served to any one person at any one meal more than one-half ounce of butter. GENERAL ORDER 7. No public eating place shall serve or permit to be served to any one person at any one meal more than one-half ounce of The total area in crops of all kinds this year is estimated at 16,000 acres. There are 4000 acres in alfalfa, 4000 acres in milo maize and 800 acres in broom corn. The last named crop is rapidly coming to the front. Tepary beans have been a complete success in the valley this year and Sudan grass has been largely planted on the separate acres of most ranches. Sugar cane has been grown experimentally and has made a promising showing. The Palo Verde Valley borders the Colorado River and contains approximately 110,000 acres. Its development was held up for many years by litigation affecting the 40,000-acre Blythe ranch, a property that was partly put into crops as much as forty years ago. Since the settlement of this case practically all of the former Blythe holding has been disposed of to settlers. The naturally fertile soil of the valley has been further enriched by silt from the Colorado, carried in through the irrigation system. The question of securing adequate water has so far been the least of the valley's troubles; the real difficulty in the past has been to keep up a dike system that would prevent the river from overflowing some of the cultivated areas. Hundreds of acres of land in this new growing region are now being cleared and leveled for next year's planting. The 1919 crop area, it is now certain, will be much greater than this year's. Up until two years ago everything entering or leaving the valley had to be freighted by automobile trucks and horse-hauled wagons for a distance of forty miles. With the entrance of the Southern California Railroad, built from Blythe Junction on the Santa Fe to Blythe, the valley's real prosperity began. The advent of the railway was signalized by an influx of settlers and greatly increased planting operations. With convenient transportation facilities assured, proper incentive was afforded for the erection of cotton gins and warehouses and the introduction of modern farming methods generally. Farm tractors are now extensively used both for the plowing and clearance of the land in the valley. Blythe, the center of the valley trading activity, has experienced a remarkable growth. Within the past eight months a number of modern concrete business buildings have been erected in the town and there are plans for more.

No public eating place shall use or permit the use of an amount of sugar in excess of two pounds for every ninety meals served, including all uses of sugar on the table and in cooking, excepting such sugar as may be allotted by the Federal Food Administrators to hotels holding a bakery licence. No sugar allotted for this special baking purpose shall be used for any other purpose. GENERAL ORDER 10. No public eating place shall burn any food or permit any food to be burned, and all waste shall be saved to feed animals or reduced to obtain fats. GENERAL ORDER 11. No public eating place shall display or permit to be displayed food on its premises in any such manner as may cause its deterioration so that it can not be used for human consumption. "AMERICA'S ANSWER." "America's Answer", the U.S. Official War Picture issued by the Division of Films, of the Committee on Public Information, is not the ordinary press-agented film play. It is a chapter of the great drama of the war, registered by U.S. Signal Corps photographers, by direction of General John J. Pershing. It is purely a Government enterprise. No individual has any profit interest in the production. The picture has been made and it is presented for public consideration, not to make money—although it must necessarily a revenue in order to meet the expenses involved—but in order to show the millions of contributors to the several Liberal Loans, the purchasers of Thrift and War Stamps, Taxpayers, and those who have so generously given in other ways for the needs of the war, just how the great sums have been expended and what, in a physical way, has been accomplished in France during the first year of America's participation in the struggle for Democracy. It shows the wonderful 3-mile dock "Somewhere in France," built on swamp land by American soldiers, and now being used to expedite the landing of our troops and the handling of the stupendeous volume of supplies with which the sea from the United ANAHEIM GAZETTE No public permit to pass double and over 20 miles served.

"America's Answer" is a picture that every American and every near American should see; it is on's duty, but also one's privilege to see it. The Government's Division of Films has done no better work for the stimulation of loyalty and the accentuation of the spirit of giving than the assembling and presentation of this most illuminating war film. Evey motion theatre should show it. Every man, woman and child in the city should see it, or if it has not been booked here, they should insist on being given an opportunity to see it. Cross Chapter. This nursing survey was requested by the United States Government and to date, but 1750 questionnaires out of the total of 30,000 issued by the division, have been returned to the Red Cross. It is imperative that these questionnaires be in the hands of the Pacific Division in San Francisco within two weeks. These questionnaires are to be filled in by graduate nurses, practical nurses, pupil nurses, under-graduate nurses, mid-wives and those who have taken the Red Cross course in dietetics, Home Care of Sick and First Aid. Trained attendants are also requested to return the questionnaires. This national survey of nurses is merely to determine the nursing resources of the country and must not be taken as a compulsory enrollment either for service at home or abroad, nor has the survey any connection with the present epidemic of Spanish Influenza. Uncle Sam merely wants to know the entire nursing resources of the country both male and female. CONSERVATION WILL PREVENT GASLESS SUNDAYS No Necessity for Limiting Travel If People Are Careful. The fact that the Pacific Coast is not in danger of gasless Sundays if every motorist will do his or her part in conserving the precious fluid, is contained in information sent out by the Fuel Administration. The government authorizes appeal, further, for close co-operation on the part of drivers regarding the 6 to 6 o'clock closing rule for supply stations. "From information that I have received," states Secretary Mitchell of the Auto Club of Southern California, "I believe it safe to say that if people will do their part toward the saving of gasoline and reduce use of perishables are too highly concentrated and too remote from markets. Rural expresses will correct this condition. However, this brings up another question. For the year-round rural express there must be roads that are at least passable the year around. Although road work necessarily must be somewhat limited for the duration of the war, that does not mean that it must come to a standstill—or remain at a standstill, if the road fever has not struck your community until now—for the duration of the war. Any community can see to it that the roads are dragged properly, by properly directed volunteer labor on the part of those bordering the road if by no other plan. The farmer and the city man are going to need the rural express more and more as the war goes. The country will never begin any sonner to get ready for it than now, nor will the country ever need good roads and rural expresses any more than in these war times."

GAMEKEEPER HARDY SHOT BY POACHING HUNTER Gunman Lodged in Los Angeles Jail By Club Men E. D. Hardy, game keeper at the Acasadaras Gun Club, is in the Santa Ana Hospital suffering from serious wounds as the result of shots alleged to have been fired from an automatic pistol by Judson E. Bortscher, who is said to have been the leader of a group of poachers who trespassed upon the club preserves early Sunday. Bortscher, who lives at No. 1007 Concord street, Los Angeles, was taken into custody by two citizens, T. H. Fitzgerald; Citizens' National Bank Building, and John Schneider, No. 1818 Cherokee street, Los Angeles. Fitzgerald and Schneider are members of the gun club and they took Bortscher back to the city, where he was lodged in the County Jail. It is said that Hardy had approached Bortscher and told him to retire the way he had entered, and almost immediately two shots were heard. Hardy fell, and Bortscher disappeared in a small lake, under the surface. In due time he was dragged out of the water and dispossessed of a .25-caliber revolver with two empty cartridges. An examination of Hardy's wounds showed that one shot entered his left shoulder, the other piercing his stomach. As the shooting occurred in Orange county, a warrant will be issued in Santa Ana, when Sheriff Jackson will go after the man. The poachers were being rounded up by wardens of the Los Angeles Alamitos and Lomita gun clubs prior to the shooting. CIRCUS DISINFECTED. The elephants in the Al G. Barnes show nearly went on a strike Sunday morning, when Health Officer Magee halted the long train of circus cars outside the city limits of Venice and, alided by a squad of military police, insisted upon a thorough fumigation every motorist will do his part in conserving the precious fluid, is contained in information sent out by the Fuel Administration. The government authorizes appeal, further, for close co-operation on the part of drivers regarding the 6 to 6 o'clock closing rule for supply stations. "From information that I have received," states Secretary Mitchell of the Auto Club of Southern California, "I believe it safe to say that if the people will do their part toward the saving of gasoline and reduce useless mileage to a minimum the use of gas on Sunday can be continued on the Pacific Coast and in Southern California. However, the only thing that will prevent this curtailment is the absolute prevention of all waste. This statement is not a warning but a piece of friendly advice to motorists at large. "The Fuel Administration has appealed directly to the Automobile Club of Southern California, to secure the co-operation of drivers regarding the 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. hours for filling stations. No hardship will be wrought upon the thoughtful motorists by this ruling. Those who will need gas before the day is over, should remember to secure it on the way to business, while those contemplating an early morning start on a journey should fill their tanks the evening before." War has been declared by the Automobile Club of Southern California upon the habitual waster of gasoline. This species of driver is usually found at the helm of some small truck or industrial wagon. He knows that there is an ordinance against leaving his motor running when he is not with the car and observes this mandate in the downtown district where officers are numerous and active. But, when he gets out into the suburbs and none of the unformed gentry are in sight, the case is different. "Why should I crank the machine when the boss pays for the gas?" he muses, and leaves the motor spinning merrily for five or ten minutes while deliveries are made or bills collected. Thus, in the aggregate, many gallon of gas pass through the carburetors of vehicles without accomplishing their destined purposes. The simplest method of stopping this wasteful practice, consists in informing the driver's employer or reasoning with the driver himself. CLOSE TO STARVATION MOST OF THE TIME Arthur C.

Barnes show nearly went on a strike Sunday morning, when Health Officer Magee halted the long train of circus cars outside the city limits of Venice and, alced by a squad of military police, insisted upon a thorough fumigation of the whole outfit. The circus had recently come from the East, where the "flu" germs were particularly virulent, and the local health officer did not want to take any chances. So he had half a dozen members of the street sweeping department go from car to car with lysol, creolin, formaldehyde and other disinfectants. There was no particular protest until the crew reached the elephant herd. The huge creatures looked with suspicion upon the "flu" cleaners and trumpeted loudly as the fumes of the disinfectants reached their sensitive nostrils. Finally every animal was given a smoke barrage and the cars passed through a gas attack. At length the health officer raised the quarantine and the circus folks went to their winter quarters. There was no open complaint except from the Albino girl. The chemicals turned her blonde, fuzzy looks to a yellowish brown. NURSES SHOULD ANSWER Nurses are again requested to fill out the questionnaires forwarded recently by the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross and to return same without delay to the local Red merrily for five or ten minutes while deliveries are made or bills collected. Thus, in the aggregate, many gallon of gas pass through the carburetors of vehicles without accomplishing their destined purposes. The simplest method of stopping this wasteful practice, consists in informing the driver's employer or reasoning with the driver himself. CLOSE TO STARVATION MOST OF THE TIME Food for Human Family Can be Saved By Eliminating Horses In addressing the highways conference at Washington, Herbert Hoover, food administrator, made the statement that the world is never ahead of starvation more than sixty days between harvests. America faces the demands from the large areas in Europe, where the work animals and herds of food cattle are diminishing and the war has drained the food producers from the soil into the aricles. "By mechanical transport," says Mr. Hoover, "we can remove from the farms many work animals that eat the crops of acreages which could be devoted to enough food to support 40,000,000 more persons." Highly developed rural expresses will put a basis of economic success under the public markets of this country and bring down the cost of living. They also will bring into active production a vast amount of potential labor, of woman and children, now on the farms but unproductive because there are no means of getting to market their contributions. Fully 50 per cent of the perishable foodstuffs which we raise never reaches the consumer. Of the potato crop 50 to 60 per cent spoills. The regions for the production William A.

The United States Government asks you to give it, through the Red Cross, the fruit stones you would ordinarily throw away. About 200 peach stones will provide enough carbon for a gas mask—the only protection between our boys and poisonous gases being used by Germans. One of the essentials in the respirator designed to protect our soldiers on the front lines against deadly gases is carbon. The efficiency of the mask to a large extent depends upon the quality of the carbon. An excellent quality is obtained from fruit pits and nut shells. These stones and shells, which are ordinarily regarded as valueless, the people of this country now are asked to save, as our Government is experiencing difficulty in getting the right kind of carbon. The British Government has also asked for a supply of high-grade carbon to use for the same purpose. The pits before they are delivered to central collecting points should not be cracked, but dried carefully in the sun or in ovens. Rain will not injure the stones or shells provided they are thoroughly dried afterwards. Large quantities of hickory nuts, walnuts, and butternuts are to be found in various sections of the country and only limited amounts are now gathered annually. As the meats are valuable food, they should be extracted from the shells before the latter are delivered to the Red Cross collecting stations. Nut meats will keep perfectly in a dry place for months or they may be marketed. The whole nuts may be sent, if the nut meats are not used locally. Quantities of pignuts and bitternuts remain uncollected each year, even by the squirrels, because of the taste of the meats, or their smallness; the shells of these, how with serenity, convinced that the great peace is not far off, even though it may be necessary to beat Germany to its knees with the sword. HIGH SPOTS IN AGRICULTURE Mottled butter is due largely to uneven distribution of salt. Operation of gins at rapid speeds injures the fiber of cotton by cutting it. Three C's for caring for milk in the home: Keep it Cold, Covered and Clean. Oats watered to make them weigh more cannot legally be shipped in interstate commerce. A ton of soy beans will yield about 40 gallons of oil useful in various ways. One hundred and twenty-four pairs of birds nest on the average farm in the Northwest. Garlic flavor can be eliminated by heating milk to 145 degrees F. and blowing air through it. The sense of direction in migratory birds is as marvelous as it is mysterious. The familiar inhabitants of the dooryard martin boxes return the next year, though meanwhile they have visited Brazil. The melting point of southern-made butter is higher where cattle are fed cottonseed products. Fall plowing, disking and harrowing help to destroy eggs of grasshoppers and other insects. Delicious table syrup can be made from cull and waste apples by home methods developed by the United States Department of Agriculture. With approximately 150,000 Chica-goans confined to their homes with Spanish influenza, the prices of oranges, which are prescribed for many sufferers by physicians, have advanced from 60 cents per dozen to $1.25 Selling Out Only 3 More Days Hardware Paint Implements and Household Goods At less than wholesale prices. Don't Delay. Buy enough hardware and community canneries are patriotically putting the stones aside for the Government, but the largest source of supply—one which is practically untapped—is that from the individual households. The amount from any one home seems infinitesimal, but the aggregate from more than 20 million homes will be stupendous. The stones and shells should be taken to the nearest Red Cross center, where they will be forwarded to the proper department. POLITICAL FERMENT President Wilson's ingenious answer to the German peace overtures has made the political situation in Germany and Austria-Hungary very much resemble a boiling cauldron. Sensational rumors are flying, thick and fast. The German kaiser is reported as abdicating at least once a day. Other rumors are similarly startling. Out of all this mass of reports it is readily discernible that, although events may not have proceeded so far as the sensationallists say, yet there is a great tumult in those hostile lands and any day may bring definite news of startling developments. If the German people had a strong democratic leader at this juncture, the French revolution might become history repeated in Germany. But, lacking leadership, there may be no outright revolution at this time. The kaiserists, however, see the handwriting on the wall. It need not be surprising should the German kaiser abdiate. Nor would it be beyond the bounds of what might be expected were the Hohenzollern dynasty overthrown completely by the German people, desperate in their quest of peace. At any rate, America and its associates may contemplate Germany's plight Household Goods At less than wholesale prices. Don't Delay.
