foods that are not suitable TO be sent
to camps or firing lines. No limiting

close to the home.
Is any of this too hard?
WIN THE WAR BY GIVING YOUR
OWN DAILY SERVICE.
Save the Wheat.-One wheatless
meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal rye or
barley bread and non-wheat breakfast
foods. Order bread "a hours in ad-
vance so your baker Will not bake be-
yOnd his needs. Cut the loaf on the
table and only as required. Use stale
bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less
cake and pastry.
Our wheat harvest Is far below
normal. If each person weekly
saves one pound Of wheat -four
that means 15o,ooo,ooo more BUSH
els of wheat for the allies TO mix
in their bread. This will help them
to save democracy.
Save the Meat.-Beef, mutton or
| pork not more than once daily. Use
| freely vegetables and fish. At the
meat meal serve smaller portions, and
stews instead of steaks. Make made
! dishes of all left-overs. Do this and
there will be meat enough for every
| one at a reasonable price.
We are today killing the dairy
cows and female calves as the re-
suit of high prices. Therefore, eat
less and eat no young meat. II we
save an ounce of meat each day
per person, we will have additional
supply equal to 100000 cattle.
Save the MIlk.-The children must
have milk. Use every drop. Use but
termilk and sour milk for cooking and
making cottage cheese, Use less
| cream.
Save the Fats.-We are the worlds
greatest fat MASTERS. Fat is food. But
ter is essential for the growth ana
health of children. Use butter on the
table as usual but not in cooking
Other fats are as good. Reduce uSe
| of fried foods. Soap contains fatS'
Do not waste it. Make your own WASH
ing soap at home out of the saved
fats.
Use one-thlrd ounce less per day
of animal fat and $4,000 tons Will
be saved yearly.
Save the Suear.-Sugar is scarcef'
We use today three times as much per
person as our allies. So there may DO
enough for all at reasonable price,
use less candy and sweet drlhkS
Do not stint sugar In putting up frul'
and Jams. They will save butter.
If everyone in America saves one
ounce o: sugar daily, 1t means
1905 tons for the year.
Save the Fuel-Coal comes from
distance, and our railways are over
burdened hauling war material. He'p
relieve them by burning fewer hreS'
Use wood when you can get 1t.
Use the Perishable Foods.--bru'IS
and vegetables we have In abundance;
AS q nation we eat too little gre'N
stuffs. Double their use and improve
YOUR health. Store potatoes and o'nei
roots properly and they will keep De
gin now to can or dry all surplus gai
den products.
Use Local suppIles.-Patronize your
local producer. Distance means money
Buy perlshable food from the neighDol-
hood nearest you and thus save tran'-
portation.
