the following statement.
Many housewives think that
foou conservation means thrift and
thai the food administration is an
institution founded TO help them
save money. OF course il is true
tina the changes we are making in
cur eating habits may lead to actual
economy without any loss Of bodily
vigor, but the real purpose Of food
ga wing is not money saving
1t is exactly what the term in
dicates-tO save food One OF our
war problems is 10 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 concentrates are wheat,
Reef, pork, dairy products and SUI
gar. The solution of this problem,
in which every American must help.
is TO eat less of these foods and
more Of the foods Of which we have
an abundance, and particularly to
waste less Of all foods.
IF food saving was mere money
saving. there would be no incentive
for well-to-do families to help in
the work the food administration is
directing. Moreover, the country is
so prosperous that nearly everybody
is working at good wages and in
Clined 10 liberal living and extrava-
rance. Be thrifty if you want TO.
but do not get the great patriotic
work of food saving mixed up with
