Meatless and Wheatless

For those who will say there is
no good in wheatless, meatless and
sogarless days in a week the fig
x.Tes given out by one who really
thinks are of interest.
1t has been estimated that there
are about twenty-million families in
this country averaging five persons
80 the family and in the average
kentucky family AZ pounds of meat
are consumed a day or thirty mil
lion pounds of meat saved in a meat
less day. 1t takes a good steer to
dress out 500 pounds and the 80,
100000 pounds of meat would mean
J the equivalent of sixty thousand
steers by one meatless day.
The average consumption of -four
to the family is pounds a day or
10000, 900 pounds for the
nation. Two hundred thousand
: barrels of -four could be filled by
this amount and more than mil
lion bushels of wheat would be
saved
Sugar is used in the American
home at not less than a pound a
cay. Twenty million pounds for
the nation or 10000 tons equal to
$50 car loads is saved by a nation
wide sugarless day.
The total result is astounding
and convincing and consideration
ieaves nothing to be done but con-
serving.
