He and his wife felt sure there was no waste in their home and that they were saving every ounce Of food possdble. It was ex- plained to him that no criticism was implied in presenting the pledge: that even in the most economical house. holds 1t was usually found possible to rearrange the bill of fare to free, for use elsewhere, wheat, meat sugar and fats-and he took with him a, card for his wife's signature. 6tdll another visitor. who took time to read his home card carefully so as to thor oughly understand the obligation as- stunned, brought in cards for two households in hts building.
