OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr. Harry E. Barnard

Food Administrator for Indiana.

Ice problems will be referred to county food administrators when presented to Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator. Dr. Barnard is recommending the appointment of representative committees of citizens who shall have authority to determine upon a fair price for ice, which finding shall be binding. Other food problems will be handled in a similar manner, where practical. Miss Mable Wellman, head of the home economics department of Indiana university will organize college women of the state for the furtherance of the food administration’s program of production, conservation and substitution. Lawrenceburg and Aurora grocers have adopted the cash and carry system of merchandising, which according to figures compiled by the food administration serves to effect a saving of from 2 to 10 per cent, to consumers. The food administration is claiming priority for food production over all other purposes to which it is proposed to put the use of tillable land. This ruling by Dr. Barnard came in connection With the possible destruction of hundreds of acres of growing wheat and other food crops by the removal of a gas pipe line from Greentown to Hammond. There is no foundation for the terrorism that has been created in some sections of the state by the alleged introduction of ground glass into bread and other foodstuffs. The food administration asks all patriotic people to be careful of their statements and report promptly to the proper authorities all circumstances that suggest such attempts at poisoning. Up to this time, Dr. Barnard believes the cases of this kind have been deliberately for the purpose of terrorizing people and prevent their consuming perishables that are perfectly safe.

The food administration has accepted the tender of 320 sacks of 98 pounds each of Kansas hard wheat flour from the West Baden Springs Hotel company. This is in line with the appeal of the food administration for voluntary contributions of flour from ■ private holdings, which will serve to release an equivalent amount of flour at seaboard, for export to the hungry people of Europe. Bring-in-the-Wheat week was very satisfactorily observed, it being estimated that 2,000,000 of bushels—a surprising quantity—was brought to the mills. The food administration has directed county food administrators to report all wheat still in storage. Steps will be taken to requisition all except barely enough for seeding, if the surplus is not in trade channels by May 1. Manufacturers of soft drinks and confections who have started business since January 1 will not be supplied with sugar. Older establishments must agree to restrict themselves to 80 per cent, of last year’s requirements. Individuals must conform to the three pounds par person per month ration. This is to guarantee a sugar supply for the canning and preserving season. The food administration announces a card system of distribution in many communities. Mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts of soldiers are asked to from further use of sugar in confections sent to camp and cantonment.

CAN’T GIVE MONEY TO THE RED CROSS

Carroll County Citizen. _ County chairmen of the local Red Cross organizations have been informed that under a decision of the Attorney General of Indiana, appropriations made directly to Red Cross organizations can not be sustained. That such appropriations should be made to the council of defense. This decision vitally afffects the jecent appropriation of SIO,OOO made ,to the local Red Cross for its local needs by the county council. Several days ago a dispatch was printed in the Indianapolis News that appropriations for „ reasonable amounts could be made directly to the council of defense organizations, but that no appropriation could be authorized directly for the Red Cross; that the money would have to be appropriated to the defense council and the money paid out by them. It Was stated that Carroll county would be allowed $3,000 fbr all emergency war purposes. Late Monday afternoon the county auditor received an official letter from the state board of accounts, calling his attention to the decision of the attorney general. In this letter, .the chief of accounts board stated that the attorney general had prepared an opinion giving his interpretation of the federal law, and in conformity therewith, had also given his interpretation of the general statutes of the state providing for war emergency aid by the county councils. The attorney general holds that reasonable appropriations may be made by county councils of defense when it is shown that such appropriation is necessary. He further holds that such an appropriation can not 'be made for the Red Cross, and that any assistance rendered the Red Cross must come through local councils of defense or through local subscriptions. It is understood that under a calculation of the attorney general, the sum of $3,000 would be a reasonable appropriation for emergency war work in Carroll county. The announcement came as a great surprise to Red Cross workers and the entire Red Cross organization in Carroll county which has accomplished so much splendid work in recent months; an organization which has made thousands of dressings and garments. . _ Recently the county council of Carroll county, responding to the immediate and vital needs of the local organziation, and in line with what was believed to be the sentiment of the people who have whole heantedly endorsed the Red Cross work here, appropriated the sum of SIO,OOO for the Red Cross, exclusively for the local needs, for the balance of the calendar year. This money was needed as an emergency and on it depended the one vital fact—Will the Red Cross work in Carroll county, the local work, be continued? It is suggested that the council of defense can appropriate a part of the money allowed it under the attorney general’s ruling to Red Cross purposes and this may be done, and probably will be done. There is more or less misunderstanding on the part of some people about the local and national needs of the Red Cross organization. In a word the local organization receives one-fourth of the money which is raised in the national drives, which supplies just about one-third of the actual funds used locally in paying the running expenses and in equipping the shops with the thousands and thousands of yards of material.

Rensselaer People Are Given Convincing Proof. No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Dean’s Kidney Pills 'have stood this test and stood it well. What better proof of the’merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Rensselaer resident who used is usccessfully and tells of lasting results. Read the following: Jacob R. Wilcox, a retired farmer, says: “I suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. They relieved the aches and pains, I could rest better nights and my kidneys were regulated. (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mr. Wilcox said: “I continue recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable medicine. They have never failed to dagoodwork.’—.——- -——— Price 60c, at all dealers.
