FOR GUIDANCE OF PEOPLE
That the people of this territory ma;
be fully informed, the following sum
mary of the rules and regulations
formulated by the United States foct
3 administration, with the approval o
the President, in order to effect th<
■ further conservation of foodstuffs nec
essary to support our own armei
forces and our associates in the wai
over the next four months, and effec
tive from January 28, 1918, has beer
prepared by the federal food adminis
trator at Juneau.
The effectiveness of these rules if
1 dependent solely upon the good wil
and the willingness to sacrifice of the
American people. In the last analysis
the success or failure of any plan
such as that outlined rests with the
people. We are dependent upon the
co-operation of the trades. We have
but one police force—the American
woman; and we depend upon her to
organize in co-operation with the vari
ous divisional, district and local fed
eral food administrators of Alaska to
see that these rules are obeyed by
that small minority who may fail. Part
of the rules will be enforced under
the Lever food act; other parts are
voluntary, and will depend for their
success upon public sentiment. Our
experience hitherto has shown a will
ingness of the vast majority of con
sumers and a full co-operation of the
trades to undergo the self-sacrifice nec
essary to render such measures effec
tive. The small minority who refuse
to co-operate should not be allowed to
defeat the nation’s necessities.
Wheat Conservation
General Statement.—It is true that
the allies need from 75,000,000 to 90,
000,000 bushels more American wheat.
It is also true that we have already
exported the theoretical surplus of
last harvest over a normal consump
tion. The American people have saved
a considerable amount, estimated at
from 25,000,000 to 50,000.000 bushels,
during the past five months, and this
saving is being exported. We can
not and will not export more than
our savings, for our own people must
also be fed. Every grain of wheat
and every ounce of flour and bread
saved now is exactly that amount sup
plied to some man, woman or child
among the allies. The American peo
ple are being asked to further reduce
their consumption of wheat products
and use other foodstuffs instead, for
the allies must also have some wheat
as well as ourselves. It is one of the
vital issues in winning the war that
we must maintain the health, strength
and morale of their men, women and
children over this winter.
Objective.—Reduce consumption of
wheat and wheat products at least 30
per cent.
Methods.—Wheatless days, wheat
less meals, Victory bread, substitute
foods, regulation of wholesalers, of
millers, retailers and of profits, and
prevent hoarding.
Wheatless Days.—Mondays and
Wednesdays of each week.
Wheatless Meal.—Evening meal, un
less housewife prefers breakfast, on
account of children.
Victory Bread
Bakers’ bread, beginning at once
with 5 per cent mixture of substitutes
and gradually increasing; must on
and after February 24, 1918, contain
at least 20 per Cent of other cereals,
such as barley flour, buckwheat flour
corn flour, corn meal, corn starch,
corn grits, feterita flours and meals,
hominy, oatmeal; potato flour, rice and
rice flour, rolled oats, soya bean flour,
sweet potato flour. Victory bread may
be eaten on wheatless days and meals.
Graham or whole wheat bread satis
fies requirements of Victory bread, if
no wheat substitutes can be found.
Rye flour is not a substitute, but bak
ers may use it as such until March,
subject to restrictions contained in
new bakers’ rules.
Substitute Foods.—Wheat flour must
not be sold to consumers unless at
the same time customer purchases
equal weight of corn meal, corn flour,
corn starch, hominy, corn grits, bar
ley flour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats, buckwheat flour, potato
flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean
flour, feterita flour and meals; the ad
ditional purchase may consist of one
or more of said substitute products.
Housewife may use separately or mix.
Wheat Products.'—Manufacturers of
macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers,
breakfast food, pie, cake and pastry
must not be sold over 70 per cent of
their purchases of wheat flour luring
the corresponding months of 1917.
Regulation of Wholesalers.—Whole
salers must not buy exceeding 70 per
cent of their purchases of wheat flour
during corresponding months of 1917;
-
r j sales of retailers must be in the nc
• i portion of one pound of wheat flou
i to one pound of other cereals, unlcs
It is made satisfactorily to appear tfita
substitutes have already been par
i chased elsewhere. Substitutes nwd
not be sold at unreasonable advarec
over cost, irrespective of markeh a
replacement values.
Millers.—Millers must dlstrilMt
j through customary channels and mai
kets so that each city, town andl dh
trlct receives its usual proportion
! 264 pounds of wheat must mill, on
barrel of flour weighing 196 pounds,
j Retail Sales.—In towns and attic
one-eighth to one-fourth barrel to in
dividual consumers; in rural or for
eign communities, one-fourth to. one
half barrel.
Profits Gross.—To wholesalt»r, no
exceeding 50 to 75 cents a barrel
retailers’ gross profit on origiiml mil
package not to exceed 80 cents t<
$1.20 per barrel, depending upon serv
ice performed; retailers’ profits or
sales of less than original mill pack
age not to exceed 1 cent per pound.
Meat Conservation
General Statement.—The allies arc
also asking us if we can, double our
meat and pork product exports, as
they must in England, Prance adn
Italy further reduce their meat and
fat ration unless we can increase ex
ports. We have replied that we "ill
ask our people to save more, for we
can only export our savings.
Objective.—Reduce consumption of
meat and fat, especially pork.
Methods.—Meatless and porkless
days and meatless meals. Pry less;
| bake, boil or stew foods Instead.
Meatless Days.—Tuesday Is meat
less. No cattle, hog or sheep prod
ucts to be consumed on this day.
Porkless Days.—Saturday is pork
less day; “porkless’’ means without
pork, bacon, lard, ham or pork prod
ucts, fresh or pickled.
Meatless Meal.—Have one meatless
meal each day.
Every Day Fat-saving Day.—Save
meat drippings; use these and vege
table oils for cooking instead of but
ter and lard.
Substitute Foods.—Use more chick
ens, turkeys, fish, hare, rabbit, ducks,
geese, lobsters, oysters, clams, sea
foods and egg dishes of all kinds. Use
fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts and
potatoes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—Members of
the naval consulting board and high
officers in the United States navy met
here this week in connection with the*
convention of the American institute1
of mining engineers for discussion of;
problems of munition manufacturing
related to the mining industry.
One of the special subjects was the
erosion, or hardening of the inner sur-!
face, of big guns, and the government
authorities heard a number of expert!
opinions from mining engineers from
various sections of the country.
In its relation to war problems, the
American institute meeting today as
sumed a national character. Some of j
those whose opinions were received inj
connection with the munitions prob
lems were Admiral F. F. Fletcher,
Read Admiral R. Earle, Peter Cooper
Hewitt, Albert Sauveur, B. B. Thayer,
Lawrence Addicks, W. L. Saunders
and J. W. Richards, all of the naval
consulting board.
Sidney J. Jennings, vice-president of
the United States Smelting, Refining
& Mining Company, was elected presi
dent of the institute to succeed Philip
N. Moore of St Louis. Mr. Moore and
Bradley Stoughton, secretary, read ex
ecutive reports showing the growth in
both influence and members for the
institute during the past year. The
membership now totals nearly 7,000. j
The technical problems considered
included several in relation to the pe
troleum and gas situation. W. G. Mat
teson, a petroleum geologist, stated J
that at the present time Louisiana and
Texas are producing more oil than in
any other time in their history andj
present indications pointed to an even |
greater development. After a survey
af the oil and gas fields in Alabama,
I ors ey Hager of Tulsa, Oklahoma, told
the engineers that the possibilities of
h.-> section for oil and gas produc

e»ni matters included: Cart: Hi Beal
and J. o Lewis of the United States
bureau of mining; Mark L. Requa,
l n'fed States petroleum administra
tor, and FV p. Peterson) of Tlfilsa, Ok
o- laboma.
r 1 his morninK a technical so-ssion on
s mininK and milling was held) ten sub
t jt-cts being presented whioh, covered a
-|Iarge part of the field-on this subject,
t T his morning the Women's Auxiliary
? of the institute held! a meeting which
r wa3 presided over by Mrs, Sidney J.
Jennings, the president, who is the
, wife of the presidhnt-elecfc of the in-'
. stitute.
The convention continues hero
; through tomorrow, after which tile
- engineers will journey to Princeton,
N. J.. to inspect the government avia
» il°” 8chool and- the university equip
. ment, which includes the Palmer phys
• teal laboratory, one of the best equip
. ped buildings of its kind in, the coun
try.
Several hundred of tte country’s;
leading mining engineers gathered)
te-re today fQr the 116th meeting of
’ the American Institute of Mining En
gineers. The session opend' with dis
cussions of coal production problems
and ot methods designed to prevent a
more extended coal famine next year
were proposed. This is only one of
several important mining war prob
lems which the engineers will take up
during their four days’ convention.
Wasteful methods of operation in
the extraction of the country's coal
end the indifference of the miner in
these days of higher wages were al
leged as the chief shortcomings at the
sources of eoal supply by George S.
Rice, of Washington. Mr. Rice stated
that although the United States pro
duced about forty percent of the
world's coal supply the country has
never been a very large factor in the
distribution. He attributed this to an
absence of shipping and foreign distri
bution facilities and a lack of care in
preparing the coal for shipment, es
pecially in the matter of sizing
In the course of the session on coal
1 the engineers were shown the results
[ of, experiments which tended to prove
the economy of electricity over steam
for power purposes in and about
mines.
Tethnjfal sessions were also held on
non;fc**<>us metallurgy, which included
•dch ’subjects for discussion as the dis
advantage of chrome brick in copper
reverberatory furnaces, zinc refining
and bone-ash cupels.
Later in the day the mining engin
eers inspected the most recently open
ed New York City subways, which
presented obstacles in mining that
have seldom been surmounted.
