War Savings Certificates.

One Of the most interesting features OF
tho bond bill is the provision for war
savings certificates. These are intended
to meet tho need for a government obli-
cation in small denominations, obviatife
the great amount OF labor involved in
partial payments upon bonds and In re-
mitting semi-annual interest upon such
bonds. The idea is to discount the inter
est for the full term, in the face of the
obligation. Thus certificate for So. nav
able in five years. may be sold for 81.
The rate Of interest and all terms are LEFT
to determination by the Secretary of the
Treasury, except that they may not run
over five years. the total amount out
the amount sold to one person at one
time must not exceed 500 and 1t shall
not be lawful for one person to hold at
any one time more than $1,000 Of them.

greater restriction upon consumption
of foodstuffs In the home than in res

Everyone is asked to maintain rig.

One wheatless day each week and
one wheatiess meal each day; the
wheatless day to be Wednesday. This
means no wheat products.
One meatless day each week which
shall be Tuesday and one meatiess
meal each day. By meatiess is meant
TO eat no red meat-beef. pork. NUT

One porkless day each week in ad-
dition to Tuesday. which shall be Sat

LIST.
On the reverse side Of the card Il a
statement signed by Herbert Hoover.
United States Food Administrator,
and addressed to the househo,ders.
It calls attention to the fact that
the food situation in Europe is far
graver than when the preliminary
survey of the food supply of the world
for this year was made. that there is
abundance of foodstuffs for the coun-
try. The haryests OF the Allies have
proved less than expected an dthe cur
tailmept Of shipping by submarines
has made demand for food that
must be met or starvation on an un-
paralleled scale must ensue.-
Food has now taken dominent po-
sition in the war. and we must ask
the American people to sacrifice far
more than was first thought neces-
sary.
$ The Allies today ask for 25 per
cent more meat and fats tpork, dairy
products and vegetable oils) than we
consider our monthly production per
mits US to send them without trench
ing on our own supplies. or, on the
other hand unless We can consume
less Due to the shortage in shipping.
our available sugar supplies must be
less than normal from the present
time forward
The. statement discusses the need
for absolute elimination of waste. the
simplest living possible. and to sub
stitute other foodstnfIs for that need
ed by the Allies. fgfg
I'VE must not overlook the fact that
Russia collapsed not because of the
Germans upon her borders but large
iv because of the failure to organize
and feed her own citizens. ard. IL we
are to emerge victorious from this
war we cannot risk the collapse OF an
other of our Allies from this same
cause. There Is no waste OF food
