much = contribution 20 the joint cause
as that Of q man IN the trenches.
We must increase our production BY
every device but beyond this we must
stop WASTE IN every scrap Of foodstuf
We must even be prepared TO deprive
ourselves II necessary, in order THAI
orr Allies may be Supported. They have
eliminated waste aud are depriving
themselves today and II Is not less
onf duty than theirs.
= If America win only eliminate waste
and extrevagnnee In food Il will 90 far
70 help the whole problem. Much can
be done ~ thk substitution Of the more
abundant coinihodities for those that
our Allies need most. For instance,
every person who enis corn bread in
stead Of wheat bread helps In the pres
emit wheat shortage for the English
people haye never learned how and
have not the equipment 10 make corn
bread because they do not bake IN
the household AZ all and corn bread
cannot be served from the baker. The
war probably win last another year
and from the present outlook of the
world = food supply we shall have all
we cnh do, BY the utmost elimination Of
waste and the utmost stimulatioh Of
production, 20 carry our Allies through
with their full fighting stamina.
Secretary Of Agricultpre Houston
has asked Congress for $25,000,000 TO
carry ont in the United States what
our Territorial Food Commission Is try
ing to DO here IN Hawaii.
Sir John Jellie6, former Commander
of the British Grand Fleet and now
First Sea Lord Of the Admiralty, says
that fhe food situation IN England Is
causing grave concern and is more seri-
lons, than many Of our own people
realize.

from the appeal by President Wilson
TO the people Of America on the sub
ject Of Conservation and production.
Let me suggest also that every
one who ereatee Of. cultivates a garden
helps. and helps greatly. 10 solve the
problem 81 th eF feedinr ''y u NE nations
and that every housewife who prac-
tises strict economy puts herself in the
ranks Of those who serve the nation
This - the time for America to correct
