Give the children butter on their
bread because they need it, but
don't cook with it. Cook with
fat drippings. Trim your own
meat and melt the trimmings into
fat drippings. UsH peanut oil and
cottonseed oil as substitutes for
animal fat wherever possible. Do
not waste soap. Such fats as can
not be used Tor cooking should be
made into coarse soap for house
hold uses.
Save just as much meat as pos
sible by eating fish, peanut butter,
milk, eggs and cheese. Wheat
bread, dried white beans, dried
lima beans, and dried peas should
not be used as meat substitutes
unless milk, cheese, eggs, green
vegetables or salad are used with
them.
Use a little less sugar in your
tea, coffee and in cooking. Give
your children honey, Inolasses.
syrup, or preserves instead OF
candy.
Do not waste a drop Of milk
and remember that skim milk
should be used in cooking and for
drinking. Use up all the sour
milk by making it into cottage
cheese.
If each of US eats pound less
of wheat -four week we will save
133, 000, 900 bushels of wheat year.
If each of us uses one third of an

servation of food means hunger
and self-denial.
This is not the truth.
: Our government does not ask
any one to give up three good
square meals day or to go hungry.
We are asked, however, to go
sparingly on those things that the
armies and allied nations are most
in need of, namely, wheat meat
and fat. You are simply asked to
readjust your menus little.
Surely this is modest request
when we consider the seriousness
of the worldwide situation today
when we think that in Europe
there are millions Of people who
are slowly starving.
To simplify matters, here are the
things to bear in mind from day
to day and if we follow them We
can be assured we are doing our
duty insofar as food economy
goes:
/ In place of wheat bread eat corn
bread, rye bread, oatmeal bread,
alfalfa bread or barley bread. A
mixture of wheat and oatmeal ms
higher food value than wheat bread
alone.
! Eat 4 baked potato and save .
slice of bread. This is no sacri-
6ce, and potatoes are plentiful.
Eat little or no cake, pie, wheat
takes or doughnuts. When you do

PHI. GARDINER OF LAUREL
TO DELIVER AN
ADDRESS.
Students of College and the
Public Schools as Well as the
Citizens to March.

Hon. Phil II. Gardiner, of Laurel
Miss, who recently spent several
months on the western war front in
France, has been invited to deliver
an address here Saturday, March %,
in behalf Of the War Savings
Stamps campaign.
Prof E. A. Stanley is chairman of
the Lowndes county committee for
the sale Of War Savings Stamps, and
in making plans for the rally on
March 23 he is being assisted by
members Of the local committee
named some time ago to secure
speakers for various war activities.
The local sale of stamps is by no
means up to expectations. Accord
ing to the official allotment, Lown-
des county's quota is from $50O,000
to 100000, and so far the sales
here amount to less than $4,000. An
effort is to be made, however, to
speed up the sales, and it is hoped
that Mr.. GARDENERS address will have
the effect of awakening enthusiasm
among the people.
A feature of the day will be a big
parade, in which the children of the
public schools, students of the In
dustrial Institute and College and
representatives Of local civic and
fraternal organizations are expected
to participate. Members of the
Ladies' Civic League, the Daughters
of tho Cnnfedaracy. the DAUGHTERS
of the American Revolution and 9TH
err organizations will be invited to
Join the marchers and the merchants
of the city will be requested to close
their store. while the parade is in
