Million Women Pledged fo Food
Conservation

.~~S~
Washington, July T. A mil
lion American women, it was
announced today, have signed
pledges to follow the food con.
servation directions of the food
administrator. All will be en-
rolled as actual members of food
administration and from time to
time will be sent instructions on
household economics. Within
the next three weeks the admin.
lstration hopes to enroll virtual
ly every woman in the United
States.
The first list of directions
were sent out today to be pasted
in the kitchens of women who
have joined the administration.
They follow:
"One wheatless meal dav.
Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barley
bread and non-wheat breakfast
foods. Order bread "a hours in
advance SO your baker will not
bake beyond his needs. Cut the
loaf on the table and only as re
quired. Use stale bread for
cooking. toast, etc. Eat less
cake and pastry.
Beef, mutton or Pork not
more than once daily. Use free.
ly vegetables and fish. AT the
meat meal serve smaller portions
and steak 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.
The children must have milk.
Use every drop. Use butter
milk and sour milk for cooking
and making cottage cheese.
Use less cream. Butter as usual,
but not in cooking. Other fats
are as good. Reduce use of
forced foods. Soap contains
fats. Do not waste it. Make
your own washing soap at home
out of the saved fats.
Sugar is scarcer; we use to-
day three times as much per per.
son as Our allies. So there may
be enough tor all at reasonable
prices, use less candy and sweet
drinks.
Goal comes from a distance
and our railways are overburden
ed hauling war material. Help
relieve them by burning fewer
fires. Use wood when You can
get IT.
Fruits and vegetables we
have in abundance. AS a ma
ton we eat too little green
stuffs. Double their use and i'm.
prove your health. Store pota-
toes and other roots properly
and they will keep. Begin now
to can or dry surplus garden
products.
"Patronize your local pro-
ducer. Distance means money.
Buy perishable food from the
neighborhood nearest you and
thus save transportation.
BUY less, serve smaller por-
tions; preach the gospel of the
clean plate; don't eat fourth
meal; don't limit the plain food
of growing children; watch out
for the waste; full garbage pals
in America means empty dinner
pals in America and Europe; if
the more fortunate of our people
will avoid waste and eat no
more than they need, the high
cost of living problem for the
less fortune will be solved"

going on, Yokohama is being kept bus
lily engaged building ships and docks.
Through the efforts Of government
authorities, both Mr.. Asano, president
of the Togo Risen Kaisha, and the
Yokohama Dock Company, have come
to an agreement whereby each will
build a shipbuilding and repairing dock
at Hashimoto.eho, Yokohama.
During recent months Mr.. Asano and
the Yokohama Dock Company have
been struggling for a charter to re-
claim the. front shore of Kanagawa,
for the establishment of shipbuilding
yard, The government has at last medi-
ated the dispute of the two applicants
and forced both parties to yield and
each establish shipbnilding yard.
In order that the two parties might
cooperate and work together, Asano
made a new application recently as a
result of the arbitration and the Yoko-
hama Dock Company on the other hand
withdrew a certain portion of its appli-
cation. Yokohama, win, after all, have
two newly constructed shipbuilding
yards and Mr.. Asano has finally sue
