at the table as needed. Make buildings mullins and griddle cakes out of stale bread, dried erusts and scraps.
 Share your wheat bread with the allies Germany is eating war bread" It if better to eat our own war bread now than to eat German black bread later
 Not long ago Field Marshal Hinden- burg sent word to the German govern ment at Berlin that if his troops and the men and women who were making shells in the factories didn't have more fats something would happen to Germany.
 Fats supply energy. Some fats are also necessary for growth and repair. Ali fats are important in the upkeep of the body. Hindenburg knew that if the German peo- pie did not get more fats they would be too weak to fight or work. The fats we waste would almost supply Germany. Avoid waste and save them for our selves and our allies.
 Glycerine, the chief substance used in making explosives, is made from fats. Think of the thousands of tons of ex- plosives that have been made in the last three years and you will understand why fats are so badly needed.
 Children need butter to grow, but don't t use it for cooking Use fat drippings. Trim your own meat and use the fat to melt into drippings Keep fats out of the garbage pail.
 Use peanut oil and cotton seed oil as substitutes for animal fats whenever pos- sible. Over 395,000 tons would be saved in America in year if everyone used one-third of an ounce less of fats from meats day.
 Don't waste soap which is made of fats. Fats which cannot be used for cooking may be saved and later made into soap for household use.
 You have wondered why meat is so high that the cheapest cuts are now in the luxury class. One chief reason Is that the number of people in this country has increased faster than the number of meat animals. There are several reasons for this The open country in the west which was formerly used for grazing by hun dreds of thousands of cattle and sheep has been cut up into farms where crops have replaced the animals.
 Hog cholera, foot and mouth disease and other diseases have also reduced the supply
 Four years before we entered the war our government started plans to increase the live stock supply just to feed us in peace times. We're at war now,s our armies need thousands of tons of meat So do our allies. Unless we eat less meat at home the price will go still high CT, and our boys in the trenches will
 
 There are many foods available which can be used in place of meat. We must save meat to save ourselves. You ear eat fish in place of meat and be inst as healthy and Vt the same time save money. Peanut butter and other fats are just as nourishing as meat. Milk. eggs and cheese will take the place of meat
 Wheat bread, dried white beans, dried lima beans and dried peas should lot be used as substitutes for meat, unless used with milk, cheese, eggs or plenty of green vegetables, greens or salads.
 One ounce less of meat each day for everyone means a saving of 4400000 meat animals year. Save your ounce The sacrifice Is small, but tho result for your country Is large.
 Sugar is one of the energy foods that we must save. Unless we guard the supply of sugar the supply will run low and the price will be higher. One ounce of sugar, half cup of wheat flour, an ounce of fat each day-it's these little savings that will win the war and the little things we fail to do will lose CT prolong it.
 One million and quarter tons of sugar will be saved the first year if each of us uses one ounce less each day. This will keep sugar plentiful and cheap.
 Give the children syrup, honey, mo- lasses or preserves instead of so much candy. Cut down on tho amount of sugar in your coffee and tea and don't leave any in the bottom of your cup
 Use sugar in putting up preserves, be- cause by eating preserves we save fats. If you eat sugar to furnish energy and not to tickle the palate you won't have
