is because individual American citizens
nave failed to see and do this loyal
national duty. This is a service in
which every man. woman and child in

Fite all classes and all trades to sign

There is no royal road to food con-
servation. 1t can be accomplished only
through sincere and earnest daily co.
operation in tho 100000 Kitchens and
at the 100000 dinner tables OF tho

consumption of wheat flour by one

rat by seven ounces, our sugar by seven
ounces per person per week, these guam
titles, multiplied by 100. 0oO. 900. will I'M.
