BACON AND BULLETS.

Are you q soldier clad in ~khaki?'
If you answer no, then you are not
worth your bacon. This ID not meant
to- disparage you. but it does mean
that our soldiers must have bacon.
Fats; are quite as important In fighting
this var as guns or ammunition, and
bacon is :ohe.'of the chief. sources OF
fat. 4 ~ ~ r."
, Fats supply energy to the body, and
pork fat Is more used in the army
than any other. because 1t Is more
readily shipped and it is the meat best
liked by the men working at :
manual labor. - :
Without fats, people weaken and
waste away. The armies must nave
fats to keep up the fight.
But the American people as a ma
ton need not worry about their own
lack of fats, for the average consump..
ton per person in this country is )
1-2 ounces a day, while 2 ounces is
quite adequate to sustain health and
vigor,. and in all probability better
health and more vigor will result
from a diminished use of fats. Is,
1t is our soldiers, sailors and the
Allies about whom we need worry.
France and England are short of fats,
terribly short, and America must
make. up that shortage. out OF ner
own. over-abundance. ~ 5,'
If every person in America v
one ounce of fat a day we ship
fats enough for our: soldiers. sailors
and Allies. f
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
n0f seem much If a, hardship when we
realize what a vital necessity it is to
keeping up the health and. vigor of
the men behind the guns. yet that two
slices of bacon Is one-third of the
ounce you are trying to save.
But don't make the mistake OF
thinking you are saving animal 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 to
someone who is using them. 4
