Through the substituting of different materials than wheat for our own use it can be greatly furthered. The sub stitution of many things in place of what we have always been accustomed to has become of vital necessity to our allies. It is not expected that we will give up our luxuries of food, more than that, we should not do so. It is by using, and conserving for our own use, the perishab1e products and saving the staples for the use of our allies that we will do the greatest service.
