Herbert c. Hoover. head OF Food
Administration, yesterday issued his
official scheme OF conservation by
which he believes every American can
do his bit in winning the war with
Germany. Mr.. Hoover's plan is simple.
1t embodies mainly an appeal for
watchfulness and care by the women.
because they are the mainstay of the
home and handled ninety per cent OF
the foodstuffs.
Mr.. Hoover expects every woman.
every man, every boy and every girl
to do his duty, by keeping ever be-
fore them these instructions:
/. Give the growing children plenty
TO eat; but no surfeit.
2. Eat no more food than Is re-
quired to properly nourish the body
g. Buy food that is grown close to
the home.
4. Eat less wheat, meat, milk, fats
sugar and more fruit, vegetables, ano
foods that are not suitable for ship
ment to the troop camps or to the
firing lines.
What Conservation Means.
General observation of these In
structions, Mr.. Hoover computes. Will
mean that the allies and the American
troops in Europe and in the training
camps will have this much more To
eat:
Wheat, 15o,OoO, 900 bushels.
Meats, equivalent of 100000 cattle.
Animals fats, $4,000 tons.
Sugar, 1,l0C, ,005 tons.

needs of the country now that it is al
war and must focus its attention

food administration's sources Of infor-

every nation have come reports ol
production and consumption, what the
nations ate before the war and during
the war, where they have made mis-
takes, where they have failed to con-
serve and where they have made their
greatest errors. These he seeks to
forestall in this country.
The entire food situation in the
United States has been reported ir
