With no "meatlessn days, and -four
to be bought in the proportion Of four
pounds of wheat to one Of substitute,
Kenosha housewives have nothing to
complain about, even though two
pounds of sugar month continues to
be the allowance pei, person.
Kenosha county women who are
are patriotic, will watch the rulings of
the food administrator. They change
often. A true soldier holds himself in
readiness to obey orders instantly and
housewives should act just as quickly
| in following the varying conservation
instructions given to them. It is their
opportunity to help. AS the, supply of
commodities changes and as the condi-
tlonS that erect Gnem change, the I0od
administrator studies the new situation
and gains a knowledge of all the fac
/ tors concerning it. Then it forms new
policies and sends out new rulings to
cover the demands of the new food
problem In this manner, it adapts its
lpolicies to the varying needs of the
! country. IF the administration en-
forced the same rules throughout the
different seasons while new crops came
into market and the supply of certain
meats formerly plentiful became scarce
| it would fail in its function of regulat-
ing the food supply of the present in
order to feed all the allied countries.
