HELP UNCLE SAM
1t is said, IL each family in the
United States were to ave only one
piece Of bread per day, seven billion
pounds Of flour would be saved daily.
Not such a small item ms it would
seem and without the usual supply
of flour from Argentine Republic and
our own crop way below previous an
nual harvests, it is emphatically es-
sential that we ave for future use.
A man alone on the desert might
have his pocket filled with money, yet '
il his canteen were empty he would !
die Of thirst. This illustrates what
will likely happen to our soldiers in
Europe, unless we govern our APP
petites at home. We not only need
the money, but food also, that can be
obtained because the supply is not
yet exhausted. Corn meal is not prac-
teal as forming n part of the soldiers
diet. Therefore let US do our bit TO
the fullest possible extent, whether
it be aiding in food conservation or
on the field of battle, it will all count
towards the same end.

of white flour and the need Of con-
serving for the coming winter as much
