The women Of America. who are
anxious TO do their great part in the
winning Of the war, are now, as u
whole, familiar with the most impor
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Card, both In It's original form
and In the revised edition for 1918
which provides for two wheatless days
one meatleSs day week, In addition
TO wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous campaign In 100000
american homes. An Intelligent and
conscientious observance of the HONS
Cards requirements Is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
Of the country.
The Food Administration has had a
great many requests, however, particu.
larry from the homes OF the well-to-do,
that II should Issue worked out plan
for voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs from two eauses-first, be-
cause II Is far simpler for the house.
wife to save food when she has q con-
crete working plan by which to pro.
coed, and, second, because the loyal
women OF America desire, unselhshIy,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women Of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad.
ministratlon Is almost the same az
that adopted In England for voluntary
Observance. All over the United King.
