Governor Manning has issued an ap-
peal to the people Of the state to re-
iratn from the use of flour, meats, sug-
az and fats on certain days Of the
week. His recommendation is tina
there be meatless Tuesdays, wheatless
Wednesdays and porkless Thursdays.
No cakes and other sweets for des-
serts on two days to reduce the con-
sumption Of sugar is also urged. The
following is the appeal directed to the
people Of the State:
"ro the People of South Carolina:
IL desire to appeal to the people of
South Carolina to lay down for them.
eelvos certain definite and specific
days on which we will save flour meat,
sugar and fats.
Our national government has come
to us asking for the performance Of a
specific duty. We are asked to save
meat. flour, sugar and fats.
II urge Il people to adopt the fol-
lowing program:
To use no beef. pork or mutton on
Tuesdays. On a basis Of seven ounces
per person, this will ave enough meat
to feed all Of the South Carolina sol.
diers in the army. America uses now
i00, 600, 900 barrels Of flour. This must
be cut down to 100000 barrels.
"ro use no hog meat on Thursdays.
This will save about 700, 900 pounds, or
enough bacon and ham to feet our
South Carolina soldiers in the army.
'"Fo use no cake, or sweet desserts.
on at least two days in each week.
We can use poultry, fish and vege-
tables. We a have them in abund-
once il we will raise them.
'Wo should save fats by broiling,
boiling and baking instead of OF fry
ing. No family is asked to stint, but
TO save II 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 meat ON Thursdays.
"The saving Of food is a war meas.

III our army Is to be fed we must
meet the very reasonable demands Of

THE sacrifice asked at our tables ia

soldiers stand ready to pay in blood.
