THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1918. x r RIGID ECONOMY IN USE OF FOOD MUST CONTINUE Elimination of Waste Urged by Allied Controllers as Means to Insure Absolute Victory. By Associated Press. New York, Aug. 1. The federal food board made public tonight the text of a joint resolution adopted by the food controllers of the United States, France, Italy and Great Brit ain and received from Federal Ad ministrator Hoover, now in Europe, with the request that it be given' "wide publicity." The text follows: "Resolved, That while the increased production of the United States ren ders it possible to relax some of the . restrictions which have borne with peculiar hardship upon all our peo ples, yet it ii absolutely necessary that rigid economy and elimination of waste in the consumption and handling of foodstuffs, as well at in creased production, should be main tained throughout the European al lied countries and North America. "It is only by such economy and elimination of waste that the trans portation of the necessary men and supplies from North Amrica to the European front can be accomplished, and that stocks of foodstuffs can be built up in North America as an in urance against the ever-present dan ger of harvest failure and the possi ble necessity for large and emergency drafts to Europe. We cannot ad minister the food problem on the basis of one year's war. We must prepare for its long continuance if we are to insure absolute victory." Mayor Declares Garbage Issue Should Be Settled "I believe that the garbage ques tion should be thrashed out," Mayor Smith told city council Thursday morning. H. M. Gilchrist of Scottsbluff, Neb., who made the city a promising bid two weeks ago, asked the council for further time, which was granted. The garbage situation will be brought up on Thursday, August IS. On next Saturday morning the council will consider the proposition of allowing hotel and restaurant men to use their garbage under proper re strictions. The proprietor of seven restaurants asked for permission to haul his own garbage to his farm; which is a few mile beyond the lim its of the city. Prominent Lincoln Man Gets Red Cross Appointment J.
