WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
HELP WIN THIS WAR

Our problem is TO feed he AL
lies and our own soldiers abroad
by sending them as much food as
We can of the most concentrated
nutritive value in the last ship
ping space. These foods are
wheat, beef, porkk, butter and
sugar.
Our solution is TO eat less of
these and as little of all foods as
will support health and strength.
All saving counts for victory.
The Food Administration asks
every loyal American to help win
the war by maintaining rigidly, as
a minimum of saving, the follow
ing program:
Have Two Whcatless Days
Monday and Wednesday, in ev-
cry week, and One Wheatless
Meal in every day.
Explanation - On Wheatless
days and in Wheatless meals of
other days use no crackers, pas
try, macaroni, breakfast food or
other cereal food containing
wheat. and use no wheat flour in
any form except the small amount
that may be needed for thicken-
ing soups or gravies, or for a
binder in corn bread or other ce-
real breads. AS to bread. if you
bake ii at home, use other cereals
than wheat, and if you buy it, buy
only war bread. Our object is
that we should buy and consume
one-third less wheat products
than we did last year.
Have one Msatlsss Day (Tusa-

Why even the Judge who tried the Mooney case, who
heard all the evidence who passed the sentence of death
upon him. is NOW convinced that there is grave doubt
to whether justice has been served.
The judges doubt is aroused by evidence which came
up after the trial This evidence tended to the
suspicion that several of the witnesses against Mooney had
committed perjury in order to obtain the $4,000 reward
offered for a conviction.
Yet this very judge is helpless to right the wrong.
He is helpless TO grant trial The LAW stops him
now The LAW says it is too late because the has
already been disposed Of The LAW says the supreme
court OF California cannot order trial. Nor the
supreme court of the United States.
There remains but course to Mooney
fea pardon by Governor Stephens Can he in the face
OF the serious doubts of Moneys guilt. deny it?
Judge Griffin, who tried Mooney has pettoned for a
conditional pardon This would permit Mooney to be
tried II is exactly what Mooney asks-a trial.
The world is watching misunderstanding to see
whether in the of the civilization which hope
peace has brought law triumph fundamental
