we draw our supplies. We must di-
vidc with III m. We can dc 1t by
,coromi2ing he usual American con
sumption Per person is just double
shat Of France.
LET US REMEMBER that every
flag that flies opposite the German
one is by proxy the American flag,
and that the armies fighting in our
defense under these flags can not
be maintained through this winter
unless there Is food enSugh for them
and for their women and children at
home. There can only be food enough
/. America provides It, And America
can only provide It by the rerson'l
service and patriotic cooperation Of
all of us.
The small daily service in substitu-
ton can be done by all; the saving
in waste by the majority, and the
lessening of food consumed by many.
& fhis individual daily service in 90
100000 kitchens and on 10000. 900
tables multiplied by 100, 100000, which
I is the sum of all Of us, will make
, that total quantity which is the solu-
ti5n of the problem.
/ WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
HELP WIN THIS WAR.
I OUR PROBLEM is to feed our
Allies this winter by ssnding them
as much feed as we can of the most
concentrated nutritive value in the
least shipping space. Thsss foods are
wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and
sugar.
OUR SOLUTION is to eat less OF
the Sc and more of other foods OF
which we have an abundance, and to
waste less of all foods
BREAD AND CEREALS.-Have at
least one wheatless meal day Use
&C l, cat, rye, barley or mixed
cereal rolls, mullins, and breads in
place of white bread certainly for
enc meal and, if possible, for two.
Eat less cake and pastry.
As to the white bread, if you buy
from baker, order it day in ad-
vance; then he will not bake beyond
his needs. Cut the leaf en- the table
and only as required Use stale
bread for toast and cooking.
MEAT.-Use more poultry, rabbits,
and especially fish and sea food in
place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do
not use either beef, mutton, or pork
mere than once daily, and then serve
smaller portions. Use all leftover
meat cold or in made dishes. Use
soups more freely Use beans; they
have nearly the same food value as
meat. (
MILK.-Use all of the milk, waste
no part of it, The children must have
whole milk; therefore, use less cream
There is a great waste of food by
not using all skim and sour milk.
Sour milk can be used in cooking ano
to make cottage cheese. Use butter
milk and cheese freely.
FATS GUTTER, LARD. ETC.)-l
Dairy butter has food values vital
to children. Therefore, use it on
the table as usual, especially for
children. Use as little as possible in
cooking. Reduce the use of fried .
foods to reduce the consumption of
lard and other fats. Use vegetable
oils, as olive and cctto1seed oil. .
Save daily one-third of an ounce of
animal fat Waste no soap; it con-
tains fat and the glycerine necessary
for explosives. You can make scrub
bling soap at home, and. in some
localities, you can sell your saved
fats to the soap maker, who will
thus secure our needed glycerine.
SUGAR.-Use less candy and sweet
drinks. Use less sugar in tea and
coffee. Use honey, maple strip, and
dark sirups for hot cakes and wales
without butter or sugar. Do not
frost or ice cakes. Do not stint the T
use CT sugar in putting up fruits
and jams. They may be used in place
of buttcr.
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. -
VS. have a superabundance CT vege-
tables. Double the use o. vegetables.
They take the place CT part Of the
wheat and meat, and, at the same !
time, are healthful Use potatoes
abundantly. Store rotato S ina roots
properly and they will keep. Use
fruits generously.
FUEL.-Coal comes from u dist
ance, and our railway facilities are
needed for war purposes. Burn few
err fires. If you can get wood, use it.
GENERAL SUGGESTION
Buy less; cook no more than nee
essary; serve smaller portions.
Use 'ocal and seasonable supplies.
Fatronize your local producers and
essen the need of transportation.
