At all Dialers, fri TirfHWI ?Ulliiii iffirilMIMH? i immun NEW FOOD REGULATIONS. riv wddent's Proclnmjntion Put Saving of Food Up to til? People. (Anderson Mail.) Tho proclamation of President Wil son and the orders of Food Adminis trator Hoover put the saving of food squarely np to the people. The ap peals heretofore have been for volun tary support; now there is begin ning ot compulsion. Consumers, in purchasing flour, are called upon to purchase at the same time an equal weight of substitutes-other cereals -which may be used separately or mixed, as the housewife sees flt, and the retailers are to sell wheat flour only with an equal weight of other cereals. And right here, especially in tho country districts, or with many farmers who are plentifully supplied with corn and other cereals, and In many instances grind their own corn meal, there is considerable specula tion. v"I have plenty of the substitute," said a good farmer In this office, "but less than a 30-day supply of flour. I am not kicking at all, but if this 'sub stitute' that I will have to buy when I buy flour again is to bo strictly cereals, I am going to be overstocked on cereals; that is all there is to it. However, if it comes to a show-down, good old home-made 'substitutes' are hard to 'beat if tho housewife knows how to handle them." As we see lt, it is going to be ex ceedingly difficult for consumers to evade the intent of tho food saving campaign unless they reduce their corfsumption of wheat flour. Whole salers are under government license, and they aro required to reduce their imrchnses of flour from the millers to the extent of 30 per cent. And to the retail trade their sales of flour must be combined with other cereals, and retailers must also observe the re striction. The President's proclamation calls uppn the great body of women to see to' it that the suggestions are faith fully observed, and there is no doubt that this appeal will meet with a pa triotic response. "For," as remark ed by our friend above referred to, "lt looks as if the family that re fuses to comply ls either brutishly gluttonous or downright disloyal."

"Making 100,000 Officers by Sewing Epaulettes on Uniforms." London, Jan. 30.-"The Truth About the American Army" is the title of a long article wrlttea by Col.

"Secretary of War Baker recently told Us that a million and a half men were under training.

It took the English two years to put a mil lion mon In a battlefield which was quite netr them. The Americans, with the handicap of distance, cannot do better. "How are tho Americans off for of ficers? Where are they to got 4,500 generals and staff officers? Mr. Ba ker said he had 0.000 officers of all kinds In April, but now has 1 10,000. "That is truly an American mas terpiece o" accomplishment-to sow epaulettes n 100,000 men and call them office... Does 'Mr. Baker im agine that these gentlemen in six, nine or twelve months can become flt to perform the difficult tasks of of ficers In modern war? "What about non-commissioned officers, who are so Important for training and holding together nu army? Nothing is complete. Every thing must be improvised. It is an insoluble problem. "Of the total strength the Ameri cans are able te muster, lt bas been shown that only a half million can get to Europe. But when?

While, perhaps, they may be useful for a defensive, they may be considered negligible for any offonsivo operations.

"It is quite natural that the few in authority who knew of our move ments, watched with anxiety for news of our crossing.
