WHAT YOU CAN ' 00 IB HELP How the ?tay-at-Homes Can "Do Their Bit."?Not Asking Too Much. Columbia.?From time to time the Food Administration has given the people of this State various rules and regulations issued by the authorities in Washington. Just at this raqment the chief drive is to conserve wheat. The authorities in Washington are trying to make a voluntary saving, but if the American people do not respond, more drastic measures may have to be taken. The Food Administration has worked out the best plan after careful study and closely watching results, and have notified the 4 J _ 1?: 1 9 JJ J il .1 A. ioou administrators uirougnout the country that they are required to enforce as best they can the following rules: "First, householders to use not to exceed a total of one and onehalf pounds per week of wheat products per person.. This means not more than one and threefourths pounds of Victory Bread, containing the required percentage of substitutes, and about one-half pound cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, eakes, wheat breakfast cereals all combined. "Second, public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuff's, macaroni, crackefs, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unlets especially ordered. Public eating establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus conforming with limitations requested of the householders/' "Third, retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a bartaI nf flnnr tn ?nv tnwn customer at any one time and not more throne quarter of a barrel to an^ country customer at any one time, ihd in no ease to sell wheat prodrittt without the same of an v?<ftiil Wirfftht of other cereals.. <"Fourth, ^wr; ask the Bakers *nd ir*QetE* to reduce the Volume of Victory Bread sold? by dfeliv^ ry of ,.tfee. three-quarter pound loal where one poumf was sold bffyre^ and corresponding pro| portions. in other Weights. We aKo ;asl? ^alcerk not to: increase the aiftbtfnt of their wheat flour purchases beyond sevent per cent it theav?rage monthly amount purchased in the four months prior te jMarck first. "B^fth, manufacturers using: whea^, products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. ... | "SJixth, tjiere Is no limit upon the -use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, etc." FOR A FULL FOOD ACREAGE ' Columbia. ? Mr. David R. Colter, chairman of the South Carolina Council of Denfense, in his appeal to this State, states i the importance of raising: more foodstuff. Mr. Coker himself is a most splendid farmer and is in close touch with the national situation, and what he has to say is of the most importance. In his appeal he says: 'The food situation is increasingly serious. High cotton must not prevent a full food acreage. Many farmers do not intend to plant sufficient foodstuffs. These must be reached in these few days remaining before planting is completed." : C*ra Bread Brlfad*! Bmroll?At t&la hotr )*ln! .
