Conserve FoodSupply

Washington, Oct. 2s.-Presilen.. Viii
son issued statement today asking
every home and public eating place in
the United States to pledge its slnporr
to the food administration and to COM
ply with it's requests. His appeal
marked the Inauguration OF FANNY en-
rollment week, during which every
body in the country will be asked to
become a member of the food admin
istration to insure nationwide co-opera
ton in food conservation.
The president said that only through
cooperation Of the people can the ma
ton accomplish its object in the war.
The statement follows:
"The chief part of the burden Of
finding food supplies for the peoples.
associated with us in war, falls for the;
present, upon the American people and
the drain upon supplies on such a
scale necessarily affects the prices of
our. necessaries Of life.
~ Urges Waste Elimination @,5.
<-"Our country however. is blessed
with an abundant supply of foodstutfs,
and if our people will economige in
their use Of food, providently combining
themselves to the quantities required
for the maintenance of health and
strength, if they will eliminate waste,
and if they will make use Of those
commodities of which we have sur
plus and thus free for export larger
proportion of those required by the
world now dependent upon us, we shall
not only be able to accomplish our
obligation to them, but We shall obtain
and establish reasonable prices at
home. ~
ITO provide an adequate supply of
food both for our own soldiers on our:
side of the seas, and for the civic pop
ulations and armies of the allies 10,

lions foa If we are to faintain their
consistency in this struggle for the in
dependence Of all nations. we must
first maintain their health and
strength.
"serve by Saving"
: "The great voluntary effort in this
direction which has been initiated and
organized by the food administration
under my direction, offers an oppor--
tunity of service In the war which is.
open to every individual and by which
every individual may serve both his
own people and the peoples OF the
world. ...
I'VE cannot accomplish our object
in the great war without sacrifice, and
devotion, and in no direction can that
sacrifice and devotion be shown more
than by each home and public eating
place in the country pledging its sup
port to the food administration and
complying with it's requests.
