WOODEN GUNS
FOR SOLDIERS

If someone were to suggest that our
soldiers be sent to Europe with
wooden guns. he would be dealt with
as madman. But there is another
thing that would be equivalent to
sending them out with wooden guns.
and that would be to send them to the
front without sufficient or proper
food. For gun, and ammunition
with which to feed that gun. are not
enough for your soldier. He must
have food too. And he must have
as perfect food as his gun. and enough
of it, If he is to be as efficient as his
gun is expected to be.
But that is not the whole of tho
situation. There are some OF our peO-
pie who, while seeing the necessity OF
feeding our own men at the front.
don't quite see why we should take
over the task of feeding our allies.
yet that is simple enough-just con-
slider this illustration and see:
We are metaphorically, hundred
people in house with hundred
doors. being attacked by a hundred
bandits IL twenty of us or fifty Of
us or eighty of us are strong enough
to do our job of barricading our par
ticular door, all the bandits can still
get in the other doors. II the allies
men are not as strong. not as well fed
as our men, then nothing that our men
can do will save the day. so. unless
we feed all. we are wasting the food
we send our men-yes. wasting our
men too, their bravery. their toll.
their sacrifice. their lives.
Food will win the war. Don't waste
1t. Every ounce of food you save
means an extra ounce for our boys

Card when you are asked.

FOOD YOU SAVE
Will WIN BATTLES

Colorado has done her share in
every appeal made by the government
She answered the call and sent more
than her quota of men to the regular
army, navy, marines, officers training
camps. national guard and national
selective army. She oversubscribed
her share of the Red Cross fund and
the Liberty Loan Bonds.
We have sent our boys to France
to fight side by side with our allies.
Are we going to feed them and their
comrades fighting the battle OF De-
mocracy?
Our Nation and our Allies are con-
fronted with food situation of such
grave menace that its solution re-
1uires the cooperation of every Amer
lean home. The needs OF our Allies
and OF the soldiers we send across
the sea cannot be met unless there
are tremendous increases in our ex-
ports-wheat. meat, sugar and similar
products. Increased demands present
problem that cannot be met unless
in our homes such substitutions in
the customary diet are made as will
conserve our wheat and meat supply.
In order to bring to the people OF
the country a realization of the grav-
paign, national in its scope. will be
made during the week of October 2Sth
to November 4th. During that period
an effort will be made to pledge as
many as possible of the $4,000 900
families TO cooperate with the United
States Food Administration in a pol.
icy calculated to increase our wheat
and meat reserves by means of
larger use OF corn, vegetables and
other products. The success OF the
propaganda depends upon the force OF
the educational drive made
Save the food and help the fighter
fight Eat plenty. wisely and without
waste. Use substitutes for wheat and
help win the war Fat is fuel for
ffghters-save it,
Eat wisely and keep the wolf from
the door Of the world, Feed our
children, Use less cream so that they
may have whole milk. Eat at least
one wheatless meal a-day. Eat at
least one meatless meal day.
