As their part in reducing Ute consumption of wheat Hour the con sumers of the country are called up? on in purchasing such tiour, to buy at the name time an equal weight of the other cereals (corn meak corn starch, corn flour, hominy, corn grits, bailey dour, rice, rice Hour, oat meal, rolled oats, buckwheat Hour. potato Hour.! sweet potato Hour, soja bean Hour and j feterita Mour and meals).

The food administration strongly urges on consumers the buying of tbi. bread, which will be known as "vie-1 tory bread" und will contain not lea^ than 20 per cent, of cereal other than wheat. Graham or whole wheat bread , will ulso be given that name. ?"If yOU bake broad at home, use wheat substitutes: If .you buy it, buy only victory bread. '?;;.

Charles A. Graves writes from the University of Virginia to The New York Times as follows: it has occurred to the undersigned, in these days when so many students In colleges are leaving their hooks in enter military service, that some cor? aolation may be found in the fact that the interruption of their education? let us hope that it is only an interrup? tion?may not he entirely time lor*, without compensation, even from an educational point of view. I am send? ing you, therefore, the following ex? tract from an address by Professor .Milton W. Humphreys, of the Uni? versity of Virginia at the celebration of the Lee Centennial, January 19. 1907. It must be premised that at the time referred to by Professor Humphreys General Robort B. Le;? president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) at Lexington, Va., and Professor Hum? phreys was a student in that institu? tion. The extract is as fellows: ? Just once it was my lot to receive a severe rebuke from General Lee. I While 1 was an undergraduate my health seemed to become impaired, and he had a conversation with me 'about it, in whh h he expressed the opinion that I wa I working too hard. I '; replied: T am so impatient make up the time I lost in the army'?I got no further General I^ee flushed, and ex? claimed in an uln jst angry tone: 'Mr. Ilumphereys, hov ?ver long you live, and whatever you accomplish, you will lind that the time you spent in the Confederate army was- the most profitable spent portion of your life. Never again speak of having lost timo in the army.* An<! I never again did."
