That food may win the war, 1t is
necessary that you have a war gar
den, so as to produce food. II you
have no ground, then rent a vacant
lot. The amount of food which can
be raised on a small lot, II carefully
worked, will surprise you. A few
seeds, little work with the hoe, will
give you many a fine meal.
Many of the school girls who are
taking courses in cooking or domes-
tic science have shown their parents
the value Of the different foods for
the human body.
In selecting your seeds do not for
get to plan for the winter as well
as for the summer. Try planting a
few seeds now and then, so as to
get continuous crop.
Most people eat too much, even
when the price Is high, and it is
from this eating too much, or "stuf-
ting," that the doctor and the drug
giSt make their money.
Try making pies without top
crust.
The able-bodied man or boy who Is
not doing something to win this war
is Stacker. Take your hoe and
help win this war that we all may
not be governed by Germany
