Rev. A. E. Wilson at the Unitarian
church last Sunday had sermon on food
conservation and gave out to 48 families
represented at church, the weekly report
cards of saving accomplished, according
to the plans Of the u S. Food Admins
tration. His sermon had the title of New
Duties for Home Guards. He said: ''Home
Guards are supposed to protect our homes
from an enemy. They usually are armed
and have regular armament with which
to do execution in time of need. Bel
fast hasn't that type of Home Guard.
Its guard consists of every man, woman
and child who does anything to keep the
enemy 5000 miles away, where it is at
present. Food sent over there to strength
an o,r ol1iac 10 homo Thau paad
wheat, meat and sugar. When man
tells you that he going to eat all he wants
of what he wants and when he wants it,
you can know that man isn't ''Home
Guard" member The Home Guard obey
orders as good soldiers. Present orders
are to eat one meal a day without any
wheat in it, two meals day without any
meat mot including chicken as meat and
three meals a day without any waste.
Can we do it? If so we are of the Home
Guard, for that will be helping France
who helps US. Let everyone try. Eat
more corn; more fish; more rice; more
chicken. Do this as duty; play it as a
game; any way to accomplish the pur-
pose And save third of your in
come, for the government wants it in
Liberty Loans, before July, 1918. If every
person in the U. S. saved six cents a day
more than enough would be saved to pay
for the first National Liberty Loan.
Freshest Wilson recently said, 1T is
not an army that we must shape and
train for war, it is a nation The new du-
ties of the present Home Guard are to
save food and money, for the govern
ment needs both" In the course of his
sermon Mr.. Wilson remarked that he
would be glad to tabulate the food saving
of his own church families, and of any
other church that cared to cooperate
with the government, and even for the
whole city, if word of what each family
had saved could only get to him.
