HOUSEWIFE RECRUITS
CALLED IN FOOD WEEK

Food will win the war. Biscuits are as
potent as bullets. The little lady who
scrapes the dishes and skmps at the
corners in conserving the food supply Of
her family is doing every bit as much for
Uncle Sam as the red-headed gunner who
sent the first American shell over the lines
on quiet" sector of the western front
the other day
This is food pledge week, and the entire
nation is being asked to concentrate on the
matter Of conserving the food supply in the
battle to beat the Boches Philadelphia Is
doing her part. The President has sounded
the call to the housewives and the response
has been spontaneous. Having just finished
doing her bit in the matter OF Liberty
Bonds Philadelphia is standing by to make
a complete job of the thing by saving as
well as spending
DR. J. Russell Smith, professor ~
economies at the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania and chairman
OF the food supply department of the com
mlttee of public safety. is in charge of the
local campaign. lie was in consulta tion
this morning with heads Of various orpap III
cations TO the city with view to systema
tzing and organizing the work that lies
ahead

this an effective week for food conservation
as Mr.. Hoover had planned.
Mr.. Gratz. OF the school board. and
Doctor CARRIER, superintendent Of schools
are assisting I'm every way they can.
"A letter is going out from the central
Office to each principal urging him to have
every teacher explain the food pledge to
every pupil.
Pledge cards will he sent out from the
city food committee to all the schools, so
that by the end Of the week every pupil in
the Philadelphia schools will be taking
home to the mother of the family a pledge
card and a statement explaining what II
stands for. SO that our registration, in
which you made such a fine mark last sum-
mer, should by this means be made even
more complete"
The peldge cards that are being dis
trlbuted are the same those sent out In
the early days Of the campaign for food
conservation shortly after the appointment
Of Herbert c. Hoover as national food ad-
ministrator. The pledge is addressed TO
the food administration and reads as fol-
lows:
"G am glad to Join you in the service OF
food conservation fer our nation, and
hereby accept membership in the United
states Food Administration, pledging my
self to carry out the directions and advice
Of the food administrator in my home, In
so far as my circumstances will permit"
The actual work OF showing how prac
tical food conservation can be put into
effect will be done largely by the women!
organizations Of the city These organiza
tions have, without exception, taken ar
| active interest I'm the campaign for con
servaton, and there is no doubt that tn
results of the Food Pledge Week" will b
| seen in the eventual winning OF the war b,
