Sunday is wheat saving day. The
conservation OF wheat should oe
taken very seriously as it is OF vital
importance. Wheat can be shipped
to the allies and the soldiers
abroad, easier than any other flour.
Then too, the allies do not know
how to use corn meal. oat meal and
some of the substitutes that We
have. Thus it is up to the United
States to do her part and conserve
the wheat supply.

CONSERVATION DAYS.
PLAN CHANGED.

Because of the predominant I'M
portance attached to wheat and
the easing up. of the meat strln'
gency, the conservation days plan
has been somewhat changed.
There are now two wheatless days,
Monday and Wednesday, with at
least one wheatless meal on all
other days. These should be sa
credIy kept, and the patriotic pub
lie should insist upon the keeping
of the days and Of all the other re-
strictions upon the use of wheat.
The meatless program has been
concentrated into one meatlesS
day on Tuesday. 1t is also in
tended that the use of sugar and
fats be reasonably reduced so
that there will be enough to go
around, with no danger of famine
among the fighters or the folks at
home.
