card to Conservation Of Food Sup.
ply of the Nation.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. H5.-Fol!owing
the issuance OF a proclamation by
President Wilson calling for addi>i0na
food economies, Federal Food Admins
traitor Fred III. Sackett today made
known to the people of kentucky the
contents of the Kitchen Card. This
card, which supersedes the Kitchen
Card distributed during Pledge Card
Campaign Week, October 2Sth to
November 4th, calls upon I'll the peo
pie OF America to observe two wheat.
less days weekly, one mcatless day
and one pOrklesS day, as well as
wheatiess and mcatless meal every
day. Heretofore, only one whectless
and one n3eat!ess day have been con
sidered necessary.
The new regulations are addressed
; particularly to the women who signed
/ the pledge cards, since they promised
to follow the directions and advice
OF the Food Administration" in so far
as their circumstances permit. The
women are expected, however, to in
duce the members OF their families to
| follow these directions also, and the
it plain that the population of America
must respond unanimously and with
a joyful heart if the war is to be won.
No Hardships Imposed.
| Although the new restrictions call
for the abridgment of long-estt,blished
habits, the new Kitchen Card does not
| impose any hardships. AS yet, the
American people still are not required
to make any sacrifices in the matter
of food to win the war The most any
person is asked to do is to suffer some
slight inconvenience.
The new Kitchen Card, which the
President approves and hands to the
nation as a book of rules for winning
the war, is as follows:
THE Food Administration asks
every loyal American to help with
the war by maintaining rigidly as a
minimum of saving the following pro
gram:
'Have two wheatless days CMonday
and Wednesday, in every week and
one wheatless meal in every day.
Explanation: On wheatless days
and in Wheatless meals of other days
use no crackers, pastry, maCaroni,
breakfast food Or other cereal food
containing wheat and use no wheat
-four in any form except the small
amount that may be needed for thick
ening soups or gravies or for binder
in corn bread and other cereal breads.
AS to bread, if you bake it at home, use
| ether cereals than wheat, and if you
buy it, buy only war bread Our OBJ
ject is that we should buy and con-
sumo one-third less wheat products
than we did last year.
Meatless Mea! Every Day.
"Have one meatless day (Tues1ay)
In every week and ono meatless meal
in every day. Have two porkless days
(Tuesday and Saturday, in every
week"
Explanation: Meatless means with
out any cattle, hog or sheep products.
On the other days use mutton and
lamb in preference to beef or pork.
Porkless means without pork, bacon,
ham, lard or pork products fresh or
preserved. Use fish, poultry and eggs.
AS nation we eat and waste nearly
twice as much meat as we need"
make every day a fat saving day
(butter, lard, substitutes, etc)"
Explanation: Fry less less; bake,
broil, boil or stew food instead. Save
meat Grippings; use them and vege-
table oils for cooking instead Of but
ter. Butter has food values vital to
children, therefore, give it to them.
Use it only on the table. Waste nc
soap. 1t is made from fat. Be careful
of all fats. We use and waste two and
a half times as much fat as we need.
Make every day a sugar saving
day"
"Explanation: Use less sugar; less
sweet drinks and candy containing
gugaf should be used in war time. AS
a nation Wa have used twice as much
sugar as we need"
Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes
abundantly."
Explanation: These foods are
healthful and plentiful and at the same
time partly take the place of other
foods which we must save. Raise al
you can for home USE"
Use milk wisely"
"EXplanation: Use all of the milk
waste no part Of it. The children must
use whole milk. Use sour and skin
milk in cooking and for cottage
cheese"
"Hoarding food. ANY one buying
and holding larger supply of food
pow than in peace time, except foo(
canned, dried or preserved in ths
home, is helping TO defeat the Foo(
Administration in its attempt to So
cure a just division of food and the es
tabiishment Of fair prices. The foo(
hoarder is working against the com
mon good and even against the yer!
safely of the country. Hoarding foods
in households is both selfish and un
necessary. The Government is pro
tectinS the food supply of it's people.
