APPEAL TO
CONSERVE FOOD.

GOVERNOR MANNING URGES SOUTH
CAROLINIANS TO SAVE MEAT,
FLOUR. SUGAR AND FATS.
Columbia. December II de-
sire to appeal to the people of South
Carolina to lay down for themselves
certain definite and specific days on
which we will save -four, meat, sug-
Our c,,u National Government has
come to us asking for the perform
ance of a specific duty. We are
asked to save meat, flour. sugar and
fats.
Il urge our people to adopt the
following programme:
To use no beef, pork. or mutton
on Tuesdays. On basis of Z ounces
per person, this will save about
100000 pounds of beef, pork, and
mutton per week, or save enough
meat to feed all of the South Caro-
lima soldiers in the army.
TO use no wheat on Wednesdays.
This will save about two million dol.
lars a year, and would supply our
South Carolina soldiers in the army.
America uses now one hundred mil
lion barrels of flour. This must be
cut down to seventy-fve million
barrels.
To use no hog meat on Thurs
days. This will save about 100000
pounds, or enough bacon and ham
to feed our South Carolina soldiers
in the armv.
To use no cake or sweet desserts
on at least two days in each week.
We can use poultry, fish, and
vegetables. We can have them in
abundance if we will raise them.
I'VE should save fats by broiling,
boiling, and baking instead of fry
ing. No family is asked to stint,
but to save and avoid extravaganza
and waste. Elaborate meals should
not be permitted.
Use no beef, pork, or mutton on
Tuesdays, no wheat on Wednesdays,
and no hog mea: on Thursdays.
The saving of food is war
measure.
If our army is to be fed we must
meet the very reasonable demands
of the Food Administration.
The sacrifice asked at our tables
is q small one compared to the price
our soldiers stand ready to pay in
blood. Remember the women and
children of France have not tasted
sugar during the past seven months,
and in many towns and provinces
meat is allowed only twice a week.
President Wilson and Mr. Hoover
urge these requests upon our people
as voluntary acts. | am confident
that South Carolinians, red-blooded
and patriotic, realizing that Ameri-
can freedom. liberty. justice, and
honor are at stake. will respond to
this call and will do our part to win
the war.

Governor.

TROOPS OF PERSH|NC'S ARMY IS BIG
 PROBLEM
What the Little Army for Service Abroad Will Require in
 FOOdStuffS.

General Pershing's army of 10000 in France will consume approximate ly 2,400 tons of food a month, ex- ceeding in weight nine monster mo gull passenger locomotives. If loaded on a train for transportation at one time this amount of foodsufffs would fill 96 box cars to capacity
 The average soldier requires about four pounds of food a day, and fi guring on this basis, Pershing's men will dispose of 80 tons every day of "A hours. Thus it can be seen that the provisioning of an army of 40, 900 men, far from it's base, be. comes nice little problem in itself for the War Department. These fi gures, of course do not take into ac- count other necessities of an army such as munitions, guns and ord nance. clothing and shoes, which make an item as large or greater than the food supply One ship of 10000 tons, carrying fOodstuffs to capacity, sunk by a submarine, or mine. would mean the loss of pro visions sufficient to feed such an army for four months.
 As Pershing's men will be supplied with American food, destined solely for their consumption, the Quarter master and the Commissary Depart. ments have long been at work on this detail of the expedition and naturally will exercise every precaution against disaster to the line of communica- ton between here and France, in or der that the men may be kept well fed and fit for the fight.
 An army ration, technically, is the allowance for the subsistence of one person for one day. On this basis the food consumption of whole ar mics are figured to the fraction of a cent The individual ration weighs four pounds and costs today from 31 to 38 cents, varying with the fluc- tuations of army contract food prices. lit contains 25 standard articles of food, to which is added list of what are called substantive arti. cles."
 There are five kinds of rations-- garrison, haversack. Filipino, travel and emergency. The garrison ration. the one with which this article will deal-is the food supplied to soldiers

in barracks or permanent camps such as Pershing's men will occupy in France.
 The haversack ration is carried in the field when the men are separat ed from the usual company field kitchen The Filipino ration is that given to the little brown soldiers of our Pacific Coast possessions, who need a lot of rice and fish and much less bacon and beef. The travel ration is the canned and boxed food, supplied for use on trains, ties at all or very limited ones, and the emergency ration consists of prepared tablets of pressed dried beef, chocolate and bread wafers. of highly nutritive value, which the men carry for use only in the great est emergency or when isolated from the regular food supply.
 The value of a single ration is based upon the current prices of the various components of the army ration and their substitutes, and var ieS from month to month. Of late years it has been steadily increasing in price, having advanced more than two cents since last summer. The Chief Quartermaster of the depart ment prepares the rations each month. figuring in the amount that all the authorized articles cost and the quan- tity allowed by the subsistence tab lets Each unit that messes togeth- er--company, troop or battery is ed men (officers pay for their own food).
 The general mess draws it's food from the supply officer and against slip is issued At the end of each month the mess gets back in cash the allowance not drawn in food. If Ia unit has drawn more than it's al lowance the company must pay back in cash the cost of the food over drawn. This seldom occurs; never, if the mess sergeant knows his busi- ness and the Captain keeps sharp watch. As matter of fact, it re- quires no uncomfortable economy for well-regulated company to save $100 month from their mess allow ance. which may be utilized for spec ials and delicacies.
 The p items of the garrison ra tion are: Fresh beef. bacon, flour, baking powder. dried beans. rice. DO tatoes, onions. canned tomatoes, prunes. jam, evaporated milk. vine gar, pickles, salt, pepper, cinnamon lard, butter, syrup and lemon ex- taract. Some of the more important substitutes always to be had at the Depot Quartermasters are, Canned corn beef canned and dried fish hard and soft bread. cornmeal. cam ed beans, fruit, tea. spices, flavoring extracts, cocoa. chocolate, breakfast foods. cereals, oleomargarines and tur key for holidays.
 With these items the well-trained army cooks do wonders. and the men add many articles besides, by outside purchases from their savings Instead. for example. of drawing the

months allotment of bacon, they will
 draw only three days supply, and
 have bacon once every ten days The money they thus save can be
 used for buying eggs or liver of fresh fish or even chicken.
 Pershings little army will be al- lowed almost one pound of bread to
 each man fog his daily ration, and
 thus will consume about IS tons fdaily. When bacon is served they
 will eat five tons at meal, and
 when they have beefsteak, five and
 one-half tons will be consumed at one sitting Chicken is served about four times a month. requiring 5000
 chickens for a single ration, about 10 tons being eaten at meal. It requires five tons of potatoes for a meal, or the amount that can be raised on one and one-half acres of ground
 Six and quarter tons of fish are
 served and three and a quarter tons
 of coffee and three and a quarter
 tons of jam. Of course, bacon. fish. beef and chicken are not served at
 the same time; they arc served al ternately to give variety to the menu Still further variety is obtained by the occasional use of beans, saul sage, macaroni, dried fruits, veget-
 ables, buildings, syrups, etc, thus
