What To Save and How.
| Save the wheat.-One wheatless
meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye
or barley bread, and non-wheat break
fast foods. Order bread "a hours in
advance 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.
Save the meat.-Beef, mutton, or
pork not more than once daily. Use
freely vegetables 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 everyone at
a reasonable price.
Il Save the milk.-The children must
have milk Use every drop. Use but
termilk and sour milk for cooking and
making cottage cheese. Use less
lcream.
Save the fats.--We are the worlds
great fat MASTERS. Fat is food. But
ter is essential for the growth and
health of children. Use butter on the
table as usual but not for cooking.
, Other fats are as good. Reduce use
of fried foods. Soap contains fats. Do
not waste it. Make your own washing
soap at home out of the saved fats.
: 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. Dc
not stint sugar in putting up fruit ant
. jams. They will save butter.
: Save the fuel-Coal comes from {
distance and our railways are over
lburdened hauling war material. He'll
relieve them by burning fewer fires
Use wood when you can get it.
Use the perishable foods.-Fruit'
: and vegetables we have in abundance
e AS a nation we eat too little greer
stuffs. Double their use and imprOv
# your health. Store potatoes and othe
: roots properly and they will keep. Be
gin now to can or dry all surplus gar
den products.
IL Use local upplies.-Patronize you
