A home card" with vital sugges-
tons for food conservation has been

contains many fundamental rules for
winning the war by giving your own
daily services
Some Of Doctrine.
sBuy less; serve smaller portions.
Preach the Gospel of the Clean
Plate
Don't eat fourth vneal
Don't limit the plain food of grow ;
ing children.
Watch out for the wastes in the
community.
Full garbage pals IN America mean
empty dinner pals in America and
Europe.
II the more fortunate of our people
will avoid waste and eat no more than
they need. the high cost of -living
problem of the less fortunate will be
solved.
Conserve on Wheat.
Save the wheat.-One wheatlcss meal
day. Use corn, oatmeal. rye or bar
ley bread and nom wheat breakfast
foods Order bread "a hours in adj
vance SO your baker will not bake be-
You'd his needs. Cut the loaf on the
table and only as required. Use a
stale bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat
less cake and pastry. Our wheat har-
vest is far below normal. + each per-
son weekly saves one pound of wheat
flour that means 1000. 600 more
bushels OF wheat for the allies to mix
in their bread. This will help them
to save democracy.
Have Msatisss Days.
Save the meat.-Beef, mutton or
pork not more than once daily Use
vegetables and fish. At the meat meal
serve smaller portions. and stews in
stead OF steaks. Make made-o over
dishes of all left-overs. DO this and
there will be meat enough for every
one at 2 reasonable price. We are to-
day killing the dairy cows and female
calves as the result OF high prices.
Therefore. eat less and eat no young
meat. If We save an ounce Of meat
each day n person. we will have adj
ditional supply equal to 100000 cat
tie.
Save the milk.-The children must
have milk. Use every drop. Use
huttermilk and sour milk for cooking
and making cottage cheese. Use less
cream.
Saye the fats.-We are the worlds
greatest fat MASTERS. Fat Is food.
Butter Is essential for the growth and
health Of children. Use butter on the
table as usual, but not in cooking
Other fats are as good Reduce use
Of fried foods. Save daily one third
ounce animal fats. Soap contains fat.
Do not waste 1t. Make your own soap
At home out of the saved fats. Use
one-third ounce less a day of animal
fat ana $4,000 tons will be saved
yearly.
Ease.Up on Sugar and Fuel.
Save the sugar.-Sugar is scarcer.
We use today three times as much
per person as our allies. So there
may be enough for all at reasonable
price-use less candy and sweet drinks.
Do not stint sugar in putting up fruit
and jams. They will save better. II
everyone in America saves one ounce
of sugar daily. 1t means 100000 tons
for the year.
Save the fuel.--Coal comes from
distance and our railways are over
burdened hauling war material. Help
relieve them by burning fewer fires.
Use wood when you can get it.
Use Perishabies First.
Use the perishable foods.-F,ruits
and vegetables we have in abundance
As Il nation we eat too little green
,stuffs. Double their use and improve
your health. Store potatoes and other
roots properly and they will keep. Be-
gin now to can or dry all surplus gar
den products.
Use local supplies.-Patronize your
local producer. Distance means mon
ey. Buy perishable food from the
neighborhood nearest you and thus
save transportation.
