FARM SCHOOL HAS
FOOD SAVING DAYS
Y. M. c. A. Preparing Christmas
Boxes for Former Students in
Training Camps

The students and faculty at the
University Farm School are obSerV-
ing the wheatIess and meatless edays
ON Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each
week, in response to the national call
for conservation of these two arti-
cles of diet. Miss Agnes Wig, matron
in the dining hall, has found it en-
tirely possible to prepare meals that
are most attractive as we'll as nutri-
tious with meat entirely eliminated
from the menu and with the con-
sumption of white -four reduced
from 25 per cent to 40 per cent. Stu
dents and faculty, after giving the
system one months trial, are con-
vinced that with the proper prepara-
tion of substitutes for these two arti-
cles that it is entirely possible to
make this conservation program an
entire success. For one meal each
day, sugar is entirely removed from
the tables and approximately Il less
sugar is being used upon the tables
than heretofore.
The message of conservation was
brought home to the people at the
Farm School most strongly when
Miss Lang, who is state leader of con-
dressed the student body on We'd
nesday morning, speaking upon the
urgent need for conservation and of
the splendid work that was being
done at the Farm School along these
lines. Much work has also been done
by the various classes in Domestic
Science in preparing Liberty breads
and various menus eliminating
wheat, meat and reducing the
amount of sugar and fat used. At
the close of the cshool year, it is in
| tended to form a conservation So
ciety and put into practice in their
own homes the methods that are now
being taught at the school.

School are now busily preparing

boxes have been prepared so that
they will reach the soldier boys by
tt--'s4s.iiGtmas. The honor roll iEcludes
"a large number of graduates and
former students who are engaged in
all branches of the service and from
