The rapid, almost unoppOsed adj
vance Of the AustrO-German armies has
brought a situation OF great peril TO
italy and one from which relief ap-
parently can come only through assis-
lance OF her allies. The enemy has car
rieo the defences of the Bainsizza pla-
teau, recaptured the city OF Goritz and
many hard won positions in the Ison-
70 valley, and is sweeping on into the
plains OF northern Italy.
Venice lies but fifty miles across the
low, level land Of Nenetla from Udlne.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. Oct. 81
One morning we came 20 a small city
where there had been established a
hospital especially to administer Fam
Srne," the new treatment for burns.
Five Of us-Americans-twO college
professors, two writer's Of books and
myself. had been taken as guests OF
The French government TO visit the
original 'IIindenburg line" and the
French territory laid waste by the
Germans i'm their sO-called strategic
retirement Of last spring.
These hospitals, from the standpoint
81 nursing, are less desirable than
others because most OF the soldier
patients are brought in writhing in
agony and for weeks are CHASTITY OBJ
iecis.
on this side Of the Atlantic "am-
brine" is hailed as the greatest medi-
cal discovery Of the war. An obscure
French physician discovered it, but be-
cause he was not famous enough to

not accepted for a long time.
Now, however, 10 is used by all the
armies on the western front and Is a

fellows horribly burned from liquid

French nurses were busy in the
operating room when we Americans

What You Can Do to Help Win
This War-What You Are Ask
ed to Do for Your Country and
How You Can Do It.

The United States food administra-
tion is urging people the country ov-
er to pledge themselves to carry out
the directors and advice of the food
administration in their homes, in so
far as circumstances will permit. A
part of the work of the food admin
istrator appointed for Robson, Mr..
H. E. Stacy, and the central execu-
tive committee he has appointed, as
mentioned in recent issue ofTheRob-
esonian, is to distribute pledge cards
and home cards to every home in the
county. Those who sign the pledge
cards merely accept membership
in the food administration and pledge
themselves to carry out the direction
and advice of the food administra-
tion. Home cards of instruction are
being distributed which tell what peo-
pie are asked to do for their country
along this line and how they can do
it.

the Allied peoples do not make their
bread atahome; it is all made in bake
ries, and cornbread can not be distri-
buted from bakeries. There is but
one way: we must reduce our use of
wheat. We use now an average of
five pounds Of wheat flour per person
per week. The whole problem can
be met if we will substitute one pound
of corn Or other cereal flour for one
pound of wheat flour weekly per per-
son; that is, if we reduce our con-
sumption Of wheat flour from five
pounds week to four pounds week.
Why we must send more meat
The food animals of the Allies have
decreased by 100000 head since
the war began; thus the source of
their meat production is decreasing.
At the same time, the needs of their
soldiers and war workers have in
creased the necessary meat consump-
ton. Our meat exports to our Allies
are now already almost three times
what they were before the war. The
needs of the Allies will steadily in
crease, because their own production
of food animals will steadily decrease,
because of lack Of feed for them. If
we will save one ounce of meat per
person per day we can send our AL
lies what they need.
Why we must send butter and milk
The decreasing herds and the lack
of fodder mean a steady falling off
in the dairy products of our Allies.
They have been asking for larger
and larger exports from us. Last
year we sent them three times as
much butter and almost ten times as
much condensed milk as we used to
send them before the war. Yet we
must not only keep up to this level,
but do still better.
Why we must send sugar-Before
the war, France, Italy, and Belgium
ed, while England drew most of its
countries. France and Italy are pro-
ducing less than they need, while
England is cut off from the source
of seventy per cent of her usual i'm
ports. These three Allied countries
must now draw 2,000,0 900 pounds more
of sugar than they did before the
war from the same sources from
which we draw our supplies. We
must divide with them. We can do it
by economizing. The usual Ameri-
can consumption per person is just
double that of France.
| Let us remember-Let us remem-
Der that every flag that flies oppo-
site the German one is by proxy the
American flag, and that the armies
fis hting in our defense under these
flags can not be maintained through
this winter unless there is food enough
for them and for their women and
children at home. There can only
be food enough if America provides
it. And America can only provide it
by the personal service and patriotic
cooperation of all of us.
4 The small daily service in substitu-
ton can be done by all; the saving in
waste by the majority, and the les
sening of food consumed by many. This
individual daily service in 20,0O0,00(
kitchens and on 2O,O00,000 tables, mul-
tiplied by 10O,OOO,0O0, which is the
sum of all Of us, will make that to.
} tai quantity which is the solution OF
, the problem.
The Robesonian., 1917-10-29

pie to starve themselves. Eat plenty,
but wisely, and without waste.
Do not limit the plain food of grow
ing children.
Do not eat between meals.
Watch out for the waste in the COM
munity.
You can yourself devise other meth
DDS Of saving to the ends we wish to
stances and with varying conditions
you can vary the methods of
economizing.
And on the other side is the fol
lowing:
What You Are Asked to Do Fer Your
Country.
The men of the Allied nations are
fighting; they are not on the farms
The production of food by these coun-
tries has therefore been greatly re-
duced. Even before the war it was
much less than the amount consum-
ed. The difference came from Amerl-
lea and few other countries. Now
| this difference is greater than eve1
| and lat the same time but little food car
be brought in from the outside ex
! cept from America.
Therefore our Allies depend or
America for food as they have never
depended before, and they ask us fol
it with a right which they have never
had before. For today they are oul
companions in the great war for de
mocracy and liberty. They are doing
the fighting, the suffering, and dy
| 1nO-1n Oi1T war.
Why we must send more wheat
England, France, Italy, and Belgium
taken together, import in peace tim
forty per cent Of their breadstuffs
But now, with their reduction in lar
vest, they must import sixty per cent
We must increase our normal expor
surplus of 88,G0O,OOO bushels to 22O
100000 bushels. 1t can be done bu
in one way: by economizing and sub
stituting. The people Of the Allie
can not substitute corn alone TO
bread, as we can. They are usin
other cereals added to wheat flou
to make war bread, and can thus us
up to twenty-five per cent Of corn TO
wheat. We have plenty of corn t
send them, but, except in Italy, who's
people normally use it, our Allie
have few corn mills, and cornmes

lowing:
Our Problem is to feed our Allies
this winter by sending them as much
food as we can, of the most concen-
trated nutritive value, in the least
shipping space These foods are
wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and
sugar.
Our Solution is to eat less Of these
! and more of other foods Of which we
have an abundance, and to waste less
of all foods.
Bread and Cereals-Have at least
one wheatless meal a day. Use corn,
oat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls,
muffins, and breads in place of white
bread, certainly for one meal and, if
possible, for two. Eat less cake and
pastry.
AS to the white bread, if you buy
from a baker, order it day in ad-
vance; then he will not bake beyond
his needs Cut the loaf on the table,
and only as required. Use stale bread
for toast and cooking.
Meat-Use more poultry, rabbits,
and especially fish and sea food, in
place Of beef, mutton and pork. Do
not use either beef, mutton, or pork
more than once daily, and then serve
smaller portions. Use all leftover
meat cold or in made dishes. Use
soups more freely. Use beans; they
have nearly the same food value as
meat.
Milk-Use all Of the milk; waste
no part of it. The children must have
whole milk; therefore, use less cream
There is a great waste of food by not
r1> nd
milk can be used in cooking and tc
:. make cottage cheese. Use butter
milk and cheese freely.
Fats Clutter, lard, tc.)-Dairy but
ter has food values vital to children
Therefore, use it on the table as US
ual, especially for children. Use as
little as possible in cooking. Reduce
4 the use of fried foods, to reduce the
consumption of lard and other fats
Use vegetable oils, as olive and cot
tonseed oil. Save daily one-third Of
an ounce of animal fat. Waste NJ
soap; it contains fat and the glycer
inc necessary for explosives. Yol
can make scrubbing soap at home
and, in some localities, you can sci
your saved fats to the soap maker
who will thus secure our needed glyc
crime.
: Sugar-Use less candy and sWee
drinks. Use less sugar in tea ant
{ soffee. Use honey, maple slrup, AM
dark sirups for hot cakes and waffle
) without butter or sugar. Do not fros
| or ice cakes. Do not stint the us
, of sugar in putting up fruits an
! jams; they may be used in place 0
, butter.
: Vegetables and Fruits-We have ,
: superabundance of vegetables. Doubl
