OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr. Harry E. Barnard, Fedtral Food Administrator for Indiana. The Kuas Baking Company of MIshawaka, paid into lccal war charities $1,225.66, a sura representing y cent per loaf for every loaf of bread baked by them during April and May. The, company admitted failure to conform to the regulation relative to the use of wheat flour substitutes and choae to make this payment in lieu of forfeiture of license and suspension of business for the period of the war. John Jd. Thompson, food administrator of Bartholomew county, confiscated 3,600 pounds of sugar from Albert Schumaker, proprietor of a bottling works. Schumaker was warned that further offense would involve him In proceedings for hoarding which is punishable by fine and imprisonment.

H. G. Sponsel, an Indianapolis baker at 100G S. East Street, failed to conform to the wheat flour regulations and exceeded his allotment of thirty-two barrels per month. Ac- , cordingly he will not be permitted to have any more flour for baking sweet goods until September 1. The meat division has prepared the following list of beef by-products which may be served at any meal , without violation of the regulation restricting the consumption of beef: Heads, tongues, tails, livers, hearts, tripe, feet, barreled beef, potted beef, beef loaf, chili con carni and beef trimmings. Beef trimmings made into bologna, sausage and frankfurters need not be conserved.

Grocers are urged not to wnsh eggs as washing causes deterioration. "Maximum canning witli minimum f sugar" Js the season's slogan of the food administration. The housewife is being urged to avail herself of the numerous publications issued by the United States department of agriculture giving instructions as how fcest to proceed with the preserving f fruits and vegetables with tho least requirement of sugar. "Barley and ryo are cereals good for human consumption and should not be fed to animals where other artnlit a nvatlnltln nm Irwl Inn ti )t n ii m nrrtil a xir i m a frrm Tiwllonn r na " 8 says a wire from Cecil Barnes, head of the United States Grain Corporation. This information answers numerous Inquiries that have come in to the federal food administrator from all parts of the Btate, asking whether it is permissible to feed barley and rye to hogs. The Grain Corporation insists there is still a plentiful supply of corn in Indiana suitable only for feed. It has issued no positive orders on the subject, but will expect that In every Instance the question be solved in the light of the facta indicated abovo. Notice is given of the repeal of Tliiles :!? and 28 relative to the distribution of wheat Hour on the 70 per cent, basis. Tho effect of this repeal permits the sale and purchase by -wholesalers and jobbers, of wheat Hour without reference to the 70 per cent, restriction, based upon the volume of business during the threu months periods from February 1 to April 30 and May 1 to July 31 in 191S. This limitation was in proportion to . the purchases made in the corresponding three months of 1917. The effect of Rule 28 was to regulate distribution by drkricts and prohibited the seeking of new markets or channels of distribution. It is now permissible that millers secure a wheat fupply from any available sources. FARMERS COMMENDED 4 m . i t i jj rue wonu s war nas creaieu j V America for food.

There Are Countless Ways Of Advertising. But after all the best way is in the weekl newspaper which is received in the heart of the family. If you are in business of any kind, your business announcement ought to appear at least once a week in the Courier, the representative paper of Jasper. Do not throw your money away in advertising, but ;spend it to secure the best results. Do not scatter your ammunition, but shoot straight at the mark you desire to reach. The best people in Jasper are customers of the 'Courier. If you want them for aigtomers too, this is the paper to use. The present-day newspaper, if ifc be rights depend upon the great and impartial pubiic for its patronage, :and is not supported by funds drawn from corporations committees, candidates, individuals or gangs of individuals having interests in conflict with those of the ;pubiic.

HE WANTED IT REALISTIC Tolrtol Knew How a Man Ouoht to Act After Being Kicked Downstairs.

Some old anecdotes aro told o Count Tolstoi.. Once, when one of his plays was being rehearsed at a theater, he was invited to be present. Hia religion did not prevent him from accepting the invitation, but he went to the theater as hi went to his work dressed as a peasant. It was a small company of the very select, and the doorkeeper wai careful to admit only the prepor persona. tThen, therefore, a shabby looking peasant appeared in the entrance hall he ordered the man in, peremptory tones to get as far away as he could in as little time ti possible. As the peasant showed no immediate signs of obeying, the doorkeeper seized him and threw him down the steps. "My name's Tolstoi," the peasant said when he had picked himself -up again. j: The doorkeeper, when he could find words to express hli amazement, was profound in his apologies. There happened to bo in the play an incident of a similar kind, and at tho close of tthe perfenn ahce, in a little speech he .was called upon to make, the. count complained that the actor did not make the -most of thia incident. "I know exactly what I am talki lng about' ho said, "for Fve JusJ been thrown downstairs myself." READ ! READ I! Editor San Diogo, Cal. Sun: I saw an advertisement, inserted by the Dry Federation in your issue of today in which they quoto bodiFy from anbtliGr publication an article wiiich related to the purchase of whisky by a man named Colo and tho sale of same to soldiers who afterwards cut the Cole person with a knife. Tho ad. admon ished tho voters to do away with such practices by voting San Diego dry. Lord forgive these dry advocates, for they know not what they do, or say. Any person who has ever been in dry territory must laugh after reading the ad. above mentioned. In Arizona, where I am a large land holder, and owner and possessor of the largest individual stock outfit in tho state, employing many men and paying the state over $4,000 annually in taxes, prohibition is a joke, and utterly impossible of enforcement. I have seen more drunkenness since Arizona went dry than ever before when the state was wet and wide open. Workmen aro not as well off as before, for they now pay ?8 and 10 a quart for viU whisky where they used to get good liquor for $1.50 per quart. I believe. in license and regulation. That is tho only solution to the liquor problem. Prohibit tion and temperance are direct oppo sites. If one is right the other Is wtong and vice versa. A real Amer lean resents the efforts of others to control his personal habits. GUY, SCHULTZ, - Mullen & Schultz, Hilsdale, Arix. WHAT LIQUOR REALLY DOES. A writer in the Sun says that the bon-dry law of Colorado has "worked ittlsfactorily" In his state. Because of prohibition, he says that assault and wife beating complaints have been greatly reduced. Like many a man this simple water drinker thinks that liquor transforms man Into a cruel monster; that a couple of drinks of whisky so infuriates a man that he goes out and whips somebody and then goes home and beats his wife. Nothing Is more ridiculous. The true nature of a man comes out when he is under the Influence of liquor; he throws the bridle off and does what his heart or his befuddled head prompts him to do. If a man is uxorious he goes home and embraces his wife; if he has a cruel nature he may beat her. But the man who would whip his wife after consuming whisky would do so when sober. A drunken man, if he . has a generous nature, gives away his money. One day last week the newspapers told of a man who scattered hills- along Broadway and handed money to newsboys. He had been drinking. AM under the .sun that liquor does, as we said before, Is to bring out the true nature of a man, and most men are rather decent. Morning Telegraph, New York City.
