Your county chairman will tell You
that signing IA pledge card obligates
you in no other way than that you
mean to live up to the promise made
for yourself and family to waste no
article of food II implies that you are
willing TO serve at your table the per-
ishable foods that you have beer put
ting away during the past few months
and thereby render available 20 our
own soldiers and to those Of our allies
over the sea every grain of wheat and
every ounce " -four Il is possible for
this country to spare.
confscatior Lie Nailed.
The Food Admin itration has denied
widely circulated story. probably en-
anating from pro German sources. that
the government Is planning TO conis-
cate all canned goods. in excess of 100
quarts. in the possession OF one fam
i.y. There is "A further elaboration Of
this silly rumor TO the effect that the
government intends TO take away from
American families vegetables and
fruits that have been dried and pre-
served and ship them to England.
This deliberate propaganda Is de-
nounced as an unqualified falsehood
by the Food Administration. The gov
eminent urges that canning be con-
tinued and says the utilization OF this
surplus food means that the general
supply will then be left for dependent
consumers to draw upon.
Kentuckians also are called upon by
Mr.. Sackett to DO what they can III
alleviating a condition that approaches
a sugar famine in France. The French
government has requested the United
States to allow them TO impor, 100000
tons OF sugar during the next month.
lnasmuch as this country only has
sufficient sugar on hand to meet the
normal consumption in this country
until January /. at which time the new
West Indian crop becomes available,
Americans are requested to cut down
their sugar ration and reduce BY one
third purchases OF sugar and candy.
The Food Administration states that II
does not desire to interfere with the
purchasing of sugar for preserving.
and that II the suggestion Is met 10
cut consumption one-third the French
situation can be saved.
Save on Your Bread.
With regard to the wheat and -four
supply, one writer has quoted figures
to show that if the 20,0o0,00O families
in the United States will save just one
slice Of white bread each day, that this
insignificant saving will result in re-
leasing 5000 900 ounces of -four, 937,'
500 pounds daily. or approximately
ALSO barrels.
According to Mr. Sackett. the saw
ing in bread Is only one of numerous
plans for conserving the food supply
that will be issued from time TO time
by the Food adm cistration. lie esti-
mates that i've per cent OF the food
that ordinarily goes TO waste daily In
the United States would feed the State
OF Kentucky. and that ten per cent. II
intelligcntly utilized would be sutii'
Client to feed the tates OF Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois.
Readers will understand from these
figures the magnitude Of the undertake
ing that confronts America. II VIII
