not very favorable 10 a number OF
''hinderers" for no other name Tits the
housewife who sits snugly back ana
declares that she and her family have
been accustomed to three full and
plentiful meals a day and why should
she upset the usual method OF family
living by having a meatless ana q
wheatless day. Indeed not. Inc
amount saved is not enough to war
rant the effort, so why bother. Ons
feels like throwing up their hands in
utter despair when such hinderers
are met up with. One cannot help
wondering If they have not heard OF
the slice Of bread saved at each meal
and the amount Of flour that tarticu'
lar way has OF conserving. Why with
lust a small amount OF intelligence,
three days in each week coul1 be
msatless, fishless and wheauess. To
be sure that means careful thought
and some trouble, but when one
thinks OF the troubles poor, sad
France and England are going through
and to think that by a small effort
on our part We may help in a way
easy to US, that means not comfort but
at least food, 1t is uncreditable to
Imagine any one unwilling to help.
Surely the woman who refuses to cut
down on her meat and wheat is a
curse to her country, for she is not
only a hinderer herself but her ex-
ample 10 q sister who has a wish
bone rather than a backbone, Is In
finitely bad.
The day is not far distant when
such hinderers will find their names
blazoned in large type and the fear
OF ostracism II not OF censure, Will
surely awaken her dormant mind and
bring the realization that she must
do her part. The men are at the
front doing their part. The biggest
thing yet to be accomplished Is TO
bring the American housewife up with
n round turn, and make her conserve
the food supply. Here in Hawaii
where meat Is rather detrimental to
good health, It is a good time 70 start
and see Just what can be done. IL
the markets here took stand (ot
course they would be out OF pocket
and had q certain day in each week
An which they absolutely refused to
sell meat, think OF the saving. 1t
could be done and It may have to be
done. Why then would it not be well
for the food conservation committee
20 approach the meat dealers and
ask them to try this for month?
II would mean four days out OF a
possible 30--a small percentage and
from the way several housewives
have spoken appears to be very feas-
ible.
The hotels in town have a meatless
day and It could easily be ascertained
which is their meatless day and
make that day q general one. Hawaii
has led In so many splendid things
for betterment and humanity, why
not let this be tried, and find just
the pulse beat OF our patriotism and
how much we are willing to sacri.
nee for our country's sake.
The food commission here are work.
ing night and day to try and give a
better understanding OF the meaning
or food conservation and are making
splendid Roadway, but every now and
again some such hinderer as was
spoken Of In the first part OF this
article, is a sad blow 70 those using
every effort to further this work.
