And bo it further the Resolved, that wc call upon States of the Union to adopt such leg islation os will enable them to deal with the labor slacker promptly and efficiently, and be it further Resolved, that similar action lie recommended to cities and towns, to the end lhat labor may be provided for harvesting the crops soon to ripp. To the end that this may be done as efficiently as possible we recommend uniformity of action, and suggest that legislative committees secure copies of existing statutes, notably those of Georgia, Maryland and New Jersey, and confer with their representatives of the Association for Uniform T.egis lation. s The food administration of Utah is endeavoring in every possible way to assist those patriotic housewives who have agreed to abstain from all wheat and wheat products until the next harvest and to this end has published wheat less i scries of suggest ions for meals as follows: Use well cooked, served substitute cereals attractively for break- fast.
