Clarke homestead about 3 miles south of Leesville. The Clarke family is one of the largest in Lexington county and nearly every section of the county was represented, as well as the states of Georgia, and Virginia. The children grandchildren and great grand children together with their family connection had gathered for the occa sion and when dinner was announced there were present 150 persons. A ty pica! Lexington county dinner was served outdoors under the large shade trees surrounding the old Clarke home, and despite the fact that the great European war is on; and that c v cv uuu%v ov-i v,v;ii5ci vc <3.1 i Hooverize, a sumptous feast was spread and when the 150 persons had finished, there was still some left. All of the 12 living children were present as follows: Mrs. Wesley Hallman, Mrs. G. W. Reeder Mrs i A J Boatwright; Mrs. L. J. Shealy; Mrs. Paul P. Hutto, Mrs. Aaron Hutto; Mrs. Mollie Porter Mrs. Alice Rankin; Mrs. B. D. Clark, H W Clarke; J P Clarke and A Silas Clarke! The oldest being 77 and ?he young- j est 52 years of age. With these; were 75 grandchildren , 15 great' grandchildren and 2 geat great grand! children. The Clarke family is one of the' pioneers of Lexington county and from two brothers Jack and Jim, de- J scended one of the largest and most j influential families of the county.! Thev are all intelligent sturdy and I thrifty people and in whatever sec- j tion they settled, they have been sue I cer-sful and taken the lead in that | community.

I l A n I AriutN I INt AKKIVAL5 SHUKI.! Meat Supply Here Considerably El* j larged ? Food Administration, However, Warns Against Waste. - ; Tbe allies have made further and ! Increased demands for breadstuffs, these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage in arrivals from the Argentine. It is, therefore, necessary for the U. S. Food Administration to urge a still further reduction In the consumption of bread and breadstuffs generally If we are to meet our export necessities. The Food AdminI 1st ration has issued a statement explaining the situation in detail, particularly the reasons which lead it, for the purpose of centering effort for the time being upon the cereal situation i to relax temporarily the restrictions on | meat consumption. Experience shows, this statement says, that the consumption of breadstuffs is intimately associated with the consumption of meat For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are considerably enlarged, and we can supply the allies with all of the meat products j which transportation facilities render j possible and at the same time some| what increase our own consumption. I In these circumstances the Food Administration considers it wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat consumption to some extent with a view to further decreasing bread consumption. Conservation of food must be adJusted to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor allied demands are constant factors, nor | can any of thpse factors be anticipated for long periods in advance in the disturbed conditions in which we at present live. While the world situation is not one that warrants any relaxation in the efforts to eliminate waste or to relax economy In food, the Administration desires to secure"better adjustj ment In food balances. So long as the present conditions I continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beefless and porkless Tuesday. The meatless meal and the porkless Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers of the United States are responding to the national call to Increase hog production. Their Increase, to all appearances, is being attained more rapidly. Of more immediate importance, however, are several complex factors which have effected an immediate increase in meat supplies. The transportation shortage before the government took over the ratt roads, the bad weather In January and early in February, the large percentage of immature corn in the last harvest and the necessity of feeding this corn as rapidly as possible to save it from decay, have not only resulted in backing up the animals?particularly hogs?on the farms for a longer period of feeding, but have resulted in a great increase in their average weight ami will result, with improved transportation conditions, which already appear. in larger than normal arrivals at market for tlie next two or three months. The weight of hogs coming to the market for the past two weeks indicates an increase In weight of from an average of 203 pounds last year to the almost unprecedented average of 232 pounds, or a net increase in their meat value of over 15 per cent. This is a distinct addition to the nation's meat supply. It therefore now scorns certain that we have such enlarged supplies for at least some months to come, that we can not only Increase oar exports to the allies to the full extent of their transportation facilities, but at the same time can properly Increase our domestic consumption. The response of the public to our requests for reduced consumption of moat curing tne past lew mourns nas j been most gratifying, and this service j alone has enabled the government dur- \ ing this period to provide such sup- j plies as transportation to the allies ! permitted. The Administration also suggests j that In those parts of the country | where the old fashioned home preservation of pork is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the present time, as it will relieve the burden upon transport.^ ion to and from | the packing houses and is economical j ly sound as saving the cost of packing 1 operations and at the same time will provide home supplies of pork to last j over the months of decreased supplies. ; The Food Administration desires to repeat that it does not want -to give \ ilte impression ;!iat these are rimes ! when simplicity and moderation of liv ing are not critically necessary, but that its sole desire is to secure an ad- 1 jostment between our d 1. Tercet food supplies and meet changing co: nifinns from time to time and tu keep the pi:!> lie fully and frankly advised of its position with the full corilidenoe am: reliance that whenever it hecoim-s necessary rc'iov.v-d appeals for saving wo met the same loyal response as in tV past CflQMCDQ MHV MCP I nillllLflD -rirtl UUL m$r nnnurtiHiuciT H Iwr-hn NvFHwfl iSUhiiL LiidsfJ* luaL.kg Feed Administration Order Permits the Grinding of Wheat on Liherai Basis, But Continued Use of Wheat Substitutes is Important Requirement. Columbia. ? The thirty day rule, which provided that farmers could have ground into flour for their own use no more home grown wheat than would be required for their families for a period of thirty days, has been suspended by the Food Administration and regulations governing the grinding of whea thave been issued. Under the new regulations, farmers are permitted to draw their year's supply of flour from the mill or in ex/iV,antra fn-r their rvwn wheat, but for the present they must draw only for a three months' period, or from the time of grinding to October 1. They cannot draw this from mills in excess of twelve pounds of flour per person per month for use of their households and tenants, and they should continue in respec* to the use of substitutes on the present basis until such time as the general substitute program for the whole country shall be changed. This means simply that farmers who have | grown their own wheat are expected to use wheat substitutes, with wheat flour, the same at heretofore, on the flfty-fifty basis. The mills of South Carolina are being notified by the Pood Administra^ tion of the new regulations. Mills must not grind for farmers more than enough wheat to supply the farmers and their families and tenants from the date of grinding to October 1. The amount ground should be I estimated upon the basis of twelve pounds per person per month. Until the new rules in regard to wheat substitutes are enacted, mills must not deliver any flour to farmers unless they sign the pledge card, agreeing to use one pound of flour substitutes for every pound of flour used. Bakers, retailers and the general public are not released from the regu j lar program, already announced by this new regulation, which applies only to farmers who have grown their own wheat. CONSERVE SUGAR EVEN IN PRESERVING i Rich Preserves and Jellies Should Not Be Attempted?Sugar for Canning and Preserving is Limited. Columbia.?Because of the aruteness of the shortage in sugar, housekeepers are urged by the Food Administration, as far as it is practical, to preserve fruits this summer in other I ways than preserves and jellies, which require a great deal of sugar. ' A light syrup allows the fl&vor of the fruit to predominate and gives a sauce that is both wholesome and palatable. Honey is an excellent sweetening for certain fruits. Housekeepers should not at this time attempt to furnish canned goods for "the g* -nment, but tbev can take care of the local supply of fruits and vegetables, thus relieving the demand upon the commeufcial stock which may be used by the government next winter. Although the situation as regards the supply of sugar is serious, provision has been made by the Food Administration to supply ample sugar for canning and preserving, provided, of course, that it is used in reason, for it is regarded as important that as much as possible of the perishable products be conserved. Sugar for canning and preserving can he obtained in quantities of 25 pounds per month per person upon the signing of a pledge that the sugar to obtained will be used for that purpose only. Dealers throughout the state have been furnished with certificates. PATRIOTIC PEOPLE EATING LITTLE BEEF Public Eating Places Restricted and Householders are Expected to Restrict Themselves. Columbia.?Beef-steak has disappeared from the menus and bills of fare of hotels, restaurants and public eating places throughout South Carolina. Roast beef has likewise been eliminated. These meats are serv ed only uay a week, under order of the Food Administration, and in many public eating places beef is not served at all. Patriotic people throughout the state are expected by the Food Administration to voluntarily restrict themselves in the consumption of beef and to observe the restrictions as rigidly on their home tables as the rule is being enforced in public eating places. The demand for beef for the army and the allied armies end their civil population for thin summer makes it necessary that the people who stay at home practically i efve up beef. By-products of br>ef. such as ox tails, livsrs. tongues, sweet- : breads, hearts, kidneys, brains and tripe may be served at any time, as the regulations do not apply to these. Food was'od is food lost, and no money can replace it.

This ruling by ; the U. S. Food Administration requires each purchaser of wheat flour to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound of wheat flour. It was necessary to restrict the use of wheat flour In order that the allies and our fighting forces I abroad might be assured of an ade-] quate supply of wheat to meet their vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we have already sent our normal surplus. Wheat saving pledge cards were forwarded by the Food Administration to all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and posted in stores throughout the country. This card states, "We pledge ourselves loyally to carry out the Food Administration program. In accordance with t^Sis order i we will not sell any wheat flour except where the purchaser buys an equal weight of one or more of the following, a greater use of which In the home will save wheat: "Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy bean flour, feterita flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and, buckwheat flour." I Some confusion has resulted on the part of the consumer in construing this "50-50" ruling to mean that an equal amount in value of substitutes must be purchased with wheat flour. This is a mistaken idea. The ruling states that the consumer in purchasing flour shall "buy at the same time an equal weight of other cereals." One exception to this ruling is concerning graham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour. This provision Is made because approximately 25 per cent more of the wheat berry is used In the manufacture of these flours than standard wheat flour. Another exception is that concerning mixed flours containing less than 50 per cent of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitutes. Retailers, however, are forbidden to sell mixed flours containing more than 50 per cent of wheat flour to any person un| less the amount of wheat flour substiJ An baI/1 to cmfflpfnnf tA mflVp tVlP tfV IUIC9 OVIU lO oumvtvuli iv uiuuv vuu .v tal amount of substitutes, including those mixed In flours, equal to the total amount In wheat flour in the mixed flour. For Instance, if any mixed flour Is purchased containing 60 per cent wheat flour and 40 per cent substitutes it is necessary that an additional 20 per cent of substitutes be purchased. This brings It to the basis of one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat flour. A special exemption may be granted upon application In the case of specialI ly prepared Infants' and invalids' food I containing flour where the necessity is shown. Some misunderstanding seems to exist on the part of consumers in assuming that with the purchase of wheat flour one must confine the additional 50 per cent, purchase to one of the substitutes. This Is not the case. One may select from the entire range of substitutes a sufficient amount of each to bring the total weight of all substitutes equal to the weight of the wheat flour purchased. For instance, if a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour is made a range of substitutes may be selected as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds: corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2 pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy, i . 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds. These substitutes may be used In the following manner: Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.?Corn, bread, no ; flour; corn muffins or spoon bread, one-fourth flour or one-third rice or one-third hominy; 20 per cent substi- j tutes in whole bread. Corn Starch, 1 Pound.?Thickening j gravy, making custard, one-third sub stltute In cake. Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.?Fried like mush, used with meal in making corn bread. Polled Oats, 3 Pounds.?One-fourth to one-third substitutes in bread, onehalf substitute in muflins; breakfast j porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies, oatmeal soup. Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.?Onefourth substitute in bread, buckwheat cakes. Hominy, 2 Pounds.?Boiled for dinner, baked for dinner, with cheese sat ice. Rice, 4 Pounds.?One-fourth substitute in wheat bread, one-third substitute in corn bread, boiled for dinner (a bread cut), as a breakfast food, to thicken soups. riep puddinu instead of cake or pie. rice batter cakes.
