N|0MEN IAN HELP II MN WAR
 BY HELPING TO SAVE BREAD
By Ida Nj. Tarbell

Few women have any idea of the commercial machinery which makes it possible fot them in every town of any size to get at any time of the day loaf of freshly baked bread. We so take this convenience for granted that we do not exercise even ordinary fore thought about the amount of bread that we order in the morning. We know that if we take two loaves in the morning and find ourselves short to- ward tea time that an extra fresh loaf is easy to get. It is only when our at tention is challenged that common sense tells us that this is no matter of course but the result of large prep aration on somebody's part. What the machinery and efforts are have just been made clear by the government s Council of National Defense.
