MISS JELLICOE
MAKES APPEAL

At the invitation Of the Directors of
the British and Foreign Sailors Soci-
ETY. I have undertaken to issue a
special appeal on behalf OF the great
National work carried on by the 30
ciety for our Sailors and for those
who are dear to them. Her Majesty
Queen Alexandra has graciously ex-
pressed her approval Of the appeal,
and her earnest hope that it will re-
receive the generous support OF the
British people.
The British and Foreign Sailors
Society is about to complete Its humid
redth year of service and sum Of
not less than $1.260,00o will be need
ed to ensure the continuance of its ben
eflcent agencies. The success with
which this work has been carried on.
before and during the War. has won
the confidence and appreciation OF
the authorities generally, and of the
seamen themselves.
On the definite request Of the Ad-
niraIty authorities, the Society is
about to erect additional Naval Rests
at the various Naval Bases, for the
welfare and comfort of Sailors when
on shore The Society has also been
urged to extend similar provision for
Merchant seamen in many ports.
have seen evidence of the splendid
relief work Of this Society in provid-
ing clothes and food for Sailors IN
termed in Germany; dispensing imme-
diate practical assistance to disabled
Sailors and dependents of Seamen
who have fallen in War service; in
providing an education for Sailors
orphans; and especially in feeding,
sheltering, clothing and forwarding
to their various homes many thous-
ands of Merchant seamen whose YES
sells have been sunk by enemy action.
Surely their is no one who would
willingly turn a deaf ear to the claims
of these brave men and women, to
whom the whole nation owes so pro-
found a debt of gratitude? For their
sake I sincerely hope that I may rely
on the cooperation Of your readers
in a really generous response to the
Centenary Appeal Of the British and
Foreign Sailors Society. Letters car
be addressed to me at the Mall House
Admiralty, London, s. W., marked
"B. r. s. 8. Centenary"

SIGN PLEDGE CARDS
TO SHOW SUPPORT

Some women object to- signing a
Hoover Pledge card. saying ''I am al
ready economizing and always have.
can do no more"
That is just the woman who should
sign. The one who is actually willing
to do all she can to conserve food and
is actually doing it. Authorities can
know Of this cooperation in no way
unless the woman herself says so and
her. name on a. pledge card will make
that statement t othe Food Admins
tratfon, the department which needs
this help and support.
Each housewife is to carry out the
conservation as best suits her family
II 1t is more convenient for her to
make rye, corn, rolled oats or such
bread in quantity to last two or three
days, she can do SO and SO have her
wheatless meals all together. The
point is for each family to save wheat
flour at some time during each week.
We are asked If for wheatless meals
we can use graham bread. Graham Is
made from wheat but as the grain Is
not ground as fine, more is saved, but
it is not a wheatless bread.
We cannot make yeast bread with
out the wheat but we can use bread Of
La white flour and the other 2-3 of
other cereals. Again, cup of mash
ed potato to cups of flour make ex-
ce1lent bread and If family saves one
cup Of flour for every loaf of bread
made that is much in the course of a
year.
A housewife said recently that by
cutting bread at table as 1t was want
ed, she had cut down 13 the amount
of bread made in her family.
The stories that the Food Admins
tration is trying to get names and ad-
dress that the houses may be searched
! and that their stored gods and canned
products will be taken away are circu-
lated by pro-Germans and malicious
people to cause trouble.
| Above all, sign the pledge c.Td and
by your example encourage others to
do their part in conserving the eood
supply.
