HOUSEHOLD


Are you a soldier clad in khaki?
If you answed no. then you are not
worth yonr bacon. This is not meant
to disparage you, but it does mean
that our soldiers must have bacon.
Fats are quite as important in fight
ing this war as guns or ammunition,
and bacon is one of the chief sources
of fat.
H Fats supply energy to the body, and
pork fat is more used in the army than
any other. because IL is more readily
shipped and it Is the meat best liked
by the men working at hard manual
labor.
Without fats, people weaken and
waste away. The armies must have
fats to keep up the fight.
But the American people as ma
tlon need not worry about their own
lack of fats. for the average consump-
tion per person i'm this country is 1-2
ounces day, while ounces is quite
adequate to sustain health and vigor,
and in all probability bettr health
and more vigor will result from a
diminished use of fats.
1t is our soldiers sailors and the al
lies about whom we need worry
France and England are short of fats,
terribly short, and America must
make up that shortage, out of her
own ver-abundance.
If every person in America saves
one ounce of fat day we can ship
fats enough for our soldiers. sailors
aud allies.
One-third of an ounce of fats meas
ured in bacon amounts to Just about
two thin slices of bacon. Giving up
two slices of bacon a morning does
not seem much of hardship when
we realize what vital necessity it is
to keeping the health and vigOr of the
men behind the guns, yet that two
slices of bacgh is one-third of the
ounce yOu are trying to save.
But don't, make the mistake OF
thinking you are. saving animals fats
for the soldiers when you don't have
| bacon for breakfast. If you would not
have had it anyway. Saving means
the actual giving up Of something you
are actually in the habit of using.
Bullets and bacon! If you are not
using bullets then send your bacon 10
someone who is using them.

Once up on a time there was man
cutting grass with a scythe. AS the
people passed by they noticed that the
way he worked seemed to have some
thing to do with what he had had for
breakfast. One morning he would
cut very slowly muttering, Coffee
and Ca-akes-Coff-e and Cakes.
Coffee and Cakes did not seem to be
right. But one morning there was n
smile on his face, for the scythe was
swishing back and forth right merrily
