 HOME CARD
 SAVE THE WHEAT-One wheat less meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal. rye or barley bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order bread twen- ty-four hours in advance so your baker will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the tabla and only as required. Use stale bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry.
 c. Ri normal If each person weekly saveJ one pound of wheat flour that means 15O,000,000 more bushels of wheat for the allies to mix in their bread. This will help them to save de mocracy.
 SAVE THE MEAT-Beef mutton or pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller DOT tions, and stews instead of steaks Make made-dishes of all left overs Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at reasonable price.
 We are today killing the dairy COWS and female calves as the re- suit of high price. Therefore, eat less and eat no young meat If we save an ounce of meat each day per person, we will have additional supply equal to 2.20O.OO0 cattle.
 SAVE THE MILK-The children must have milk. Use every drop Use buttermlk and sour milk for cooking and making cottage cheese. Use less cream.
 SAVE THE FATS-We are the worlds greatest fat wasters. Fat is food. Butter is essential for the growth and health of children. Use butter on the table as usual, but not in cooking Other fats are as good Reduce use of fried foods. Save daily one-third ounce animal fats Do not waste 1t. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats.
 Use one-third ounce less per day of animal fat and 375,O00 tons will be saved yearly.
 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 Do not stint sugar in putting up fruit and jams. They will save butter.
 If everyone in America saves one ounce of sugar daily, 1t means l. 100000 tons for the year
 SAVE THE FUEI-Coal comes from a distance and our railways are overburdened hauling war ma terial. Help relieve them by burn ing fewer fires. Use wood when you can get it.
 USE THE PERISHABLE FOODS Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. AS a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and improve your health. Store po- ,atoes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can pr dry all surplus garden products.
 USE LOCAL SUPPLIES aize your local producer. Distance means money. Buy perishable food rom the neighborhood nearest you md thus save transportation.
 OUR PROBLEM is to feed our allies this winter by sending them ls much food as we can of the most nutritiye value in the east shipping space. These foods Ire wheat. beef. pork, dairy pro lucts, and sugar.
 OUR SOLUTION is to eat less of hese and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and o waste less of all foods.
