sent the new home card at once, I'm
sure. 1t will tell you clearly just
what your daily service means in
winning this war, and you'll be as
proud as l am 10 be a soldier-wom-
an.
wrote you yesterday about the
first item Of food conservation -
wheat The second on the home
card" is meat. The request for saw
ing includes particularly three
kinds: Beef. mutton and pork. We
are asked not TO use any one Of
these more than once a day. The
reason is given clearly. Says the
home card"
The food animals of the allies
have decreased by 100000 head
since the war began: thus the
source of their meat production is
decreasing. AT the same time the
needs of their soldiers and war
workers have increased the neces-
sary meat consumption. Our meat
exports to our allies are now al
ready almost three times what they
were before the war. The needs
of the allies will steadily increase,
because their own production OF
food animals will steadily decrease
because OF lack of feed for them "
Each person in the United States
must average a saving of an ounce
of meat a day if our allies are 10
be supplied and prices are TO be
sent down TO a reasonable basis. II
seems that the amount of meat eat
en- by each person averages nearly
one-third of a pound of beef and
One-fifth of a pound Of pork daily.
This must be cut down If we are 10
send enough meat 20 keep up the
strength of the allied soldiers in
France. The food administration
makes its drive on beef. mutton and
pork because these meats can be
cured or sailed. when they cannot
be otherwise shipped to our armies
at home and abroad. An additional
reason for reducing our consump-
ton Of meat is the necessity OF pre-
serving the dairy herds TO furnish
the necessary milk. butter and
cheese. The welfare of our young
sters is dependent upon the dairy
COW. as you and ! very well know.
The food experts suggest an
abundance of substitutes as equally
valuable food Chicken, turkey,
goose, duck. Holsters, crabs. shrimp.
fresh and sailed fish; and rabbits
in season are offered as some OF the
perfect protein foods. Besides
these there are eggs. peanuts. but
termilk, cheese and liver
Sounds like goodly array.
