GREATER CONSERVATION
OF FOOD NECESSARY


PHOENIX, Jan. 2s-In swift re-
Spouse to the presidents proclama-
ton appealing to the nation for
greater conservation OF food In the
interests OF the successful prosecu-
ton OF the war. steps were taken
today by Timothy A. Riordan. fed
eral food administrator for Arizona.
to place into immediate effect a new
program which has been outliped by
Herbert Hoover.
This new program calls for two
instead OF one wheatless days each
week and adds one wheatless meal
for all other days. Every day is
made a fat-saving day and a sugar
saving day and the fuller use OF
fruits. vegetables and potatoes is
urged. The boarding OF food is
condemned One meatless day and
two porkless days week and one
meatless meal for other days are
called for A special rule for Ari-
iona and other western states pro-
yides, however. that all meat with
the exception OF pork and pork pro-
ducts may be eaten until March 10.
Coincident with the announce
ment of new plans an order was
placed with the printer for 10000
new supplemental home cards.
These will be mailed to the 10000
members of the food administration
in Arizona as fast as a large corps
Of typists can handle the work and
at the same time vigorous efforts
will be made in every county to in
crease the number Of signers to the
home pledge card to 10000.
One side OF the home card is de-
voted to a statement by Herbert
Hoover on why We Must Save
Food" and the other side is devoted
to specific instruction showing what
you can no to help win this war"
Monday and Wednesday are desig-
mated as wheatless days and one
wheatless meal for all other days
is called for Food containing wheat
-four, including crackers. macaroni,
etc. is tabooed
Tuesday is designated as meat
| less day and Tuesday and Saturday
as porkless days. One meatless
meal for all other days is prescrib-
ed "Meatless" and "porkless' as
without pork. bacon. ham, lard or
pork products, fresh or preserved
Other instruction are Use
less sugar. AS a nation we have
used twice as much sugar as we
need. Use fruits, vegetables and
| potatoes. These foods are health
full and plentiful and take the place
OF other foods which we must save.
Raise all you can for home use. Use
milk wisely. Use all of the milk /;
waste no part of it," Hoarding
food is condemned as a means Of de.
| feating the aims Of the food admin.
istration.
