BAKING DAY
4 HOLIDAY

You really don't want to bake
bread this week, do you? What is the
use when you can quickly stir up
these breads, crackers, biscuits and
mullins of oatmeal, cornmeal, bar
ley? Besides, these receipts use nc
wheat flour, so it's really patriotic

THE FLOUR
OF THE ARMY

Wars are no longer all bullets and
blades; they are also bread and beef.
1t has been the business of an army
to lead in fighting and the business
of civilians to lead in supplying food.
In this war, especially, it is the
proud part of the men and women
at home to lead in food conservation.
We know as never before that the
soldier cannot fight unless he is we'll
fed; that people cannot support all
the abnormal conditions of war un-
less they are we'll fed.
Bread is the foundation on which
we all rest. The most inSistent drive
of the food administration has been
save the wheat" We must send
100. 100000 bushels of wheat over
seas before the first of June. 1t can
not come out of our surplus, because
there is not any. 1t must come out
of our saving.
Who is helping to save it? Are
you? You used to consume 215
pounds of flour a year in pre-war
days. The food administration wants
you to consume only $50 pounds a
year now, so that this imperatively
needed wheat may get to the war
workers and fighters in Europe.
One hundred and fifty pounds of
flour per person a year! But you
must look to your laurels. Our brave
army is leading you on your own
field. The soldier boy in the thirty
two camps and cantonments of our
country is getting .361 pounds of
-four per day. This is at the rate of
131 pounds per person a year. He
is 19 pounds ahead of you, stay-at-
homes! Salute the soldier who is
leading you, but make up your mind
that in this which is particularly
your job, he shall not continue to
stay 19 pounds of flour ahead.
