WHY NOT A "WHEATLESS WE'D.
NESDAY" IN HOMES?
Now that the large and small hotels
have decided upon Wednesday as the
s'wheatless day." why would it not be
wise to inaugurate the same day in
our homes? ALI that is necessary is

some woman to take the initiative

day be an institution in each home
and thereby do your part not only in
helping our Allies, but in helping our
selves to put off the day when we will
be allowed per capita only SO many
ounces of butter, sugar and flour. 1t

have to have taste of the bitter be.
fore, We earnestly realize that the
work of the food commission is in
earnest. r. 7. y -. =
