QUESTIONS ANSWERED
CONSERVATION
What does conservation mean?

=" udt uOcS CONSERVATISM u0du!
1.-THE preservation of our natural
resources for economical use, so as
to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number"
How can we conserve food?
BY reducing consumption; by cut
ting out waste; by using some other
foods in place of the foods we are
asked to save; by using local prod
ucts and thus saving transportation.
It is true that many people eat too
much?
Probably 80 per cent of American
people either eat or take into their
kitchens much more food than is
necessary.
Does the Food Administration OBJ
ject to teas and refreshments at
parties?
Not if conservation rules are oh.
served; but as a general principle
of thrift it does not encourage the
habit of eating between meals.
How can those people who neither
waste nor eat too much help the
Food Administration?
BY substituting foods that are
plentiful for the wheat, meat, fats,
and sugar that are needed for ship
ping overseas.
How can find out about these prob
lens?
BY writing to the Federal Food
Administrator in your state for the
free publications of the United
States Food Administration.
What are these publications?
A list of them Is given at the end
of this primer
Is food conservation really necessary?
So necessary that we may lose
the war unless we conserve.
Why is food conservation necessary?
Because men have been with
drawn from farm and field in Eu-
rope to fight; because bad weather
had made bad crops; because great
food supplies have been sunk by
submarines; because there is vastly
Increased demand for food for sol.
diers, and people working in war

What is the bread ration in France?
10h ounces daily per person, with
constant possibility of being low
cred.
What is the situation in France in re-.
gard to other supplies?
France is producing l gallon of
milk where she formerly produced
2k. Oils, fats, eggs, and meat are
scarce.
What is the present situation in italy?
There is extreme need of cereals.
meat, and fats.
How dependent is England ON foreign
countries for cereals?
She has to import three-flfths of
the cereals needed.
What are the present needs in Ens.
land?
Meats, fats, and cereals are mr..
gently needed.
Why Is American help vitality neces-
sary?
: Because America is nearest and
best able to supply food with the
= lee1t exposure to submarines. -

Is not the seriousness of the food sit.
uation exaggerated?

Is not the seriousness of the food sit
uation exaggerated?
1t is not; food is essential to win
ming the war. A LOUNGE slice of
bread wasted is a bullet thrown
away; to waste food is treason to
cause and country.
Have the other warning nations been
forced to practice food conserva.
ton?
Yes; if Germany had not done SO
she would be defeated today.
Why is the housekeeper asked ia
shoulder the burden of conserva,

Because so large an amount of
the food raised in this country
passes through her hands.

ers, mounts up to vast sums.
What are some figures showing the re.
suits from small daily savings?
One LOUNGE slice of bread saved
each day in the 100000 homes of
the country would total 9,625,OO
pound loaves saved week-approx.
imately 35,648 barrels of flour saved.
One ounce of sugar saved a day
would total about 26,736 barrels
saved a week.
Will the small Individual savings &C.
tually get to the Allies and help win
the war?
Internationally, yes. Every time
you eat wheat substitute it is OK.
actly as II you stretched out your
hand and gave the wheat you have
saved to some fighter or worker in
trench or field or factory "oveF
there"
why does the Food Administration
ask a person with plenty Of money
to refrain from buying more food
than is absolutely necessary for
health?
Because it is a patriotic duty ia
eat only what is needed for health
so that food may be saved to helu
win the war.
What are the foods which we must
especially save?
Wheat Enthusiastically
Why must we send these particular
foods?
Because they contain the most
concentrated nourishment in the
most easily shippable form.
The cost of the United States Food
Administration for it's first years work
has been less than two cents for every
person in the United States.

PEOPLE NOW FEAR DEFEAT
German Writer AssaiIs Public for
Lack of Confidence.

German Writer AssaiIs Public for
Lack of Confidence.
Amsterdam, Aug. 5.-Count Revent
low, writing in the Tages Zeitung of
Berlin on the anniversary of the fourth
year of the war, says:
The beginning of the fifth year of
the war is marked in large part of
the German press by reflections which
are overlooking with resignation, mel
ancholy and whining"
The writer continues:
"The fearful defeatism which runs
through the German public life these
days, has a perniciously damning
effect, and, more so, because with some
people the underlying view may be
perceived or is extremely stated by
them that if one would end the war it
would, after all be an easy thing to
do, as one need only join Grey and
Wilson in the league of nations

Issues General Order at Opening OF

London, Aug. 5.-Field Marshal
Haig, commander-in-chief of the Brit
ish forces in France, has issued a
special order of the day to the British
troops, dated Aug. 4, the anniversary
Of Great Britain's entry into the war.
The order say, in part:
"The conclusion of the fourth year
of the war marks the passing of the
period of crisis. We can now with
added confidence look forward to the
future.
"The revolution in Russia set free
large hostile forces on the eastern
front, which were transferred to the
west. It was the enemy's intention to
use the great numbers thus created
to gain decisive victory before the
arrival of American troops should give
superiority to the Allies"
