WAY TO SAVING
WIN THE WAR BY GIVING YOUR
OWN DAILY SEP
VICE
SAVE THE WHEAT

One wheatless meal a day. Use
corn, oatmeal, rye or barley bread
and non-wheat breakfast foods. Or
der bread twenty-four hours in ad-
vance so your baker will not bake
beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on
the table and only as required. Use
stale bread for cooking, toast, etc
Eat less cake and pastry.
Our wheat harvest is far below
normal. If each person weekly
ayes one pound of wheat flour
that means 100000 600 more bush
els of wheat for the allies to mix in
their bread. This will help them
to save democracy.
SAVE THE MEAT
Beef, mutton or pork not more
han once daily. Use freely vege-
tables and fish. At the meat meal
serve smaller portions, and stews
instead of steaks. Make made
dishes of all left-overs. Do this
and there will be meat enough for
every one at a reasonable price.
We are today killing the dairy
cows and female calves as the re-
suit of high price. Therefore. eat
less and eat no young meat. If we
save an ounce of meat each day per
person, we will have additional sup
ply equal to 1900, 900 cattle.
SAVE THE MILK
q The children must have milk.
Use every drop. Use buttermilk
and sour milk for cooking and
making cottage cheese. Use less
cream.
SAVE THE FATS
We are the worlds greatest fat
MASTERS. Fat is food. Butter is
essential for the growth and health
of children. Use butter on the
table as usual but not in cooking.
Other fats are as good. Reduce
use of fried foods. Save daily one
third ounce animal fats. Soap con
tains fats. Do not waste it. Make
your W washing soap at home out
of the saved fats.
Use one-third ounce less per day
animal fat and $4,000 tons will
be saved yearly.
SAVE THE SUGAR
Sugar is scarcer. We use today
three times as much per person as
our allies. So there may be enough
for all at reasonable price, use less
candy and sweet drinks. Do not
stint sugar in putting up fruit and
jams. They will save butter.
If everyone in America saves one
ounce of sugar daily, it means
1,100,0 600 tons for the year.
SAVE THE FUEL
Coal m from a distance and
our railways are overburdened
hauling war material. Help relieve
them by burning fewer fires. Use
wood when you can get it.
USE THE PERISHABLE FOODS
Fruits and vegetables we have in
abundance. AS a nation we eat
too little green stuffs. Double their
use and improve your health. Store
potatoes and other roots properly
and they will keep. Begin now to
can VI uIy all SUI plus SdlueH plO-
ducts.
USE LOCAL SUPPLIES
/ PatrOnize your local producer.
Distance means money. Buy per-
ishable food from the neighborhood
nearest you and thus save transpor-
tatiOn.
GENERAL RULES
Buy less, serve smaller portions.
Preach the Gospel of the Clean
Plate"
Don't eat a fourth meal.
Don't limit the plain food OF
growing children.
Watch out for the wastes in the
community.
Full garbage pals in America
mean empty dinner pals in Ameri-
ca and Europe.
If the more fortunate of our peo-
pie will avoid waste and eat no
more than they need, the high cost
living problem of the less for
mate will be solved.
