Wheatless And Meatless Days To Become Law

Stricker economy of food is to be required of American people by new. laws put in the making Tuesday in congress. Food Administrator Hoover has approved them and they are expected to pass promptly as supplemental to the present food control act. Wheatless and Meatless and other economies necessary that America may help sustain her co-belligeients will become mandatory by law instead of voluntary as at present. Such new laws, the food administration holds, are necesary to protect the millions . of loyal Americans co-operating in food saving against the wastefulness of a few individuals and of public eating houses which are said to handle properly 50 per cent of the food supply.
