MK. HOOVER'S "NO WHEAT" APPEAL Washington, May 1"?.?"The confidence of the United States Food Administration that the people of the country respond enthusiastically and whole-heartedly upon presentation of the facts to any necessary requests for reduction in consumption of food has been fully justified. We have demonstrated our ability not only to think together, but to at* together. This response of the people is the reason for the present appeal. Our work is not yet complete. In spite of the encouraging results of our efforts, in spite of the fact that our exports of food stuffs are constantly increasing ami are approaching the minimum requirements abroad,, the need for renewed devotion and efforts is pressing. While all the requirements of the food Administration should be constantly observed, there are certain matters which I desire to stress at this time. Of meat and meat products, the necessities for shipment abroad are very great. Whereas the allied consumption has been reduced to an average of about one and one-quarter pound per person per week, we are today enjoying an average of about three and one-quarter pounds per person per: week. This division is inequitable. An understanding of these facts will justify our request that the consumption of all meats, including poultry. as nearly as possible be reduced to two pounds per wek per person over four vears of n?ro Of sujrar, we are embarrassed by the necessity of using ships for carrying our soldiers and feeding the allies, and in consequence we must use sugar with great economy. We must emphasize the importance of canning and preserving on a large scale among our people this summer, and our available sugar must be conserved for this purpose. But the situation with regard to wheat is the most serious in the food supply of the allied word. If we are to satisfy the minimum wheat requirements of our armies and the allies and the suffering millions in the allied countries, our consumption of wheat in the United States until the next harvest must be reduced to approximately one-third of normal. It is inconceivable that we should fail in this crisis. For each of us who can personally contribute to the relief of human suffering it is a privilege, not !L sat'rifw'O All pldmonfc r?f nnr ulation cannot bear this burden equally. Those engaged in physical labor need a larger bread ration than those K v. / "**"* ^ientary occupations. Because of the constant daily employment of women and the lack of home baking facilities many households in large urban centers require a food ration already prepared, such as the bakers' standard victory bread loaf. Furthermore, we must constantly safeguard the special requirements of children and invalids. To meet the situation abroad and to prevent serious suffering at home, it is imperative that all those whose circumstances permit shall abstain from wheat and wheat products in any form until the next harvest. It is realised and deeply appreciated that many organizations and communities have already agreed to follow this plan. It i.i hoped thaf you will communicate this to your organization and your community, urging those whose circumstances will permit to join with us and take this stand." i. / Oil 1 v II?I i II > (oigutm; nerocri. rioover.

A real man is just as honest alone, in the dark, in his own room, as he is in public. A real man does not want pulls, tips and favors. He wants work and honest wages. A real man is loyal to his friend and guards his reputation as his own. A real man is dependable. His simple word is as good as his Bible oath. A real man does a little more than he promises. A real man does not want something for nothing, so the get-richquick people cannot use him. A real man honors a woman, any woman. He cannot hurt a woman, physically or morally. He sticks to his wife. He can be loyal, even if love is impossible. A real man minds his own business. He does not judge other people. A real man always has an excuse for others, never for himself. He is patient and charitable to them, to himself he is strict. A real man is glad to live,' and not afraid to die. A real man never hunts danger, and never dodges it when he ought to meet it. A real man's love is like a dog's and that's saying a great deal. A real man is?well, he is a real man, the finest best, noblest, most refreshing thing to find on all the green earth, unless it be a real woman.? Dr. Frank Crane.
