You can get the Bosque county
news in the Tribune while its news—
some of the other papers give it later,
and don’t give proper credit either.
It may be that the matter of credit-
ing the item was overlooked and if it
was it should be credited. This item
has reference to the publication of
the list of those who appeared in
Meridian last week for examination
in the draft that will soon be called
to the colors. Said article appeared
in the Clifton Record this week and
and with a very few changes was
the identical article that appeared in
the.Tribune last week. After a per-
son spends a day or more in getting
up such a list he feels like proper
credit should be given. Tote fair,
Bro. Baldridge.

The Food regulations should be
complied with and the Food Admin-
istrator proposes that they must.
Manufacturers have agreed not to
supply wholesalers who do not strict-
ly comply with the regulations, and in
turn wholesalers have agreed like-
wise with reference to retailers. The
regulations are being violated and it’s
your patriotic duty to report to near-
est food administration officer the
name of any dealer who violates any
of the rules, or any person discour-,
aging the production or saving of
food.
Among the several plants and fac-
tories secured for Walnut Springs this

It is a well known fact that the
most severe critics of the public
schools and the churches are the peo-
ple who have never taken the trouble
to enter the doors of the institutions
that they criticise. They stand out-
side and bark instead of entering and
learning for themselves the truth
about matters. It is far easier to set
up a hue and cry than to make a thor-
ough investigation.'

A Great New Book.
There have been many books of ser-
mons, but Dr. George W. Truett’s new
volume, “A Quest for Souls,” which
Was compiled and edited by Dr. J. B.
Cranfill, is unique in sermonic litera-
ture. Last summer, Dr. Truett, who
is recognized as one of the greatest
preachers in the world, conducted a
revival meeting at Fort Worth, which
was attended by thousands, and in
which hundreds were converted. This
book of sermons contains a verbatim
shorthand report of the twenty-four
sermons he preached and all the
prayers he offered in that meeting, to-
gether with the preliminary remarks
and exhortations made by this re-
markable preacher.
■ The price of the book is $1.50, post-
paid, and it can be had from The
Texas Baptist Book House, 1816 Main
Street, Dallas, Texas..
This Book House carries a large
line of books covering all subjects and
advertises that it will furnish any
book published' at the publisher’s
price, adv

“The wheat flour substitutes recob-
nized by the Food- Administration are
as follows: Bran, shorts, middlings,
corn flour, corn meal, edible corn
starch, hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, rolled oats, rice, rice flour, po-
tato flour, sweet potato flour, buck
wheat flour, cotton seed flour, milo,
kaffir and feterita flours and meals,
soya bean flour, peanut flour, casava
flour, taro flour, banana flour. You
will please notice that beans, rye, rye
flour and potatoes are not considered
substitutes for wheat flour.”
The above paragraph is taken from
a circular letter issued by one of the
leading flour mills of the State which
is sent to each of their customers.
Among other things they say, “We
are not allowed to accept new busi-
ness, and will have to limit the ship-
ments of flour accordingly.”

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.
To all loyal, patriotic Americans:
The men of the allied Naions are
fighting; they ar not on the farms.
Even the men of the European neutral
countries are under arms. The fields
of both allies and neutrals lack man-
power, fertilizer and machinery.
Hence the production of food by these
countries has steadily lessened ever
1 since the beginning of the war, while
at the same time, the shortage of
shipping has grown more and more
serious, with the consequent steady
difficulties in bringing food from the
faraway markets of India and Argen-
tine. . -
The situation has become critical.
There is simply not enough food in
Europe, yet the soldiers of the allies
must be maintained in full strength and
their wives and children at home must
not face famine; the friendly neutrals
must not be starved; and finally, our
own army in France must never lack
a needed ounce of food, i
There is just one way in which all
these requirements can be met. North
America must furnish the food. And
we must furnish it from our savings
because we have already sent our nor-
mal surplus.
Our Solution.
The Food Administration asks every
loyal American to help win the war by
maintaining rigidly, as a minimum of
saving, the following program::
Monday and Wednesday, Wheatless
Wheatless Days.
Tuesday,
Meatless Day
Tuesday and Saturday, Porkless Days
One wheatless meal and one meatless
meal every day.
Every day a fat saving day and
a sugar saving day.
Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes
abundantly.
Let’s Hurry! The Kaiser won’t wait.

Federal Food Administrator
