Electricity For
Five Cents d Day

It is impossible, of course, to
say definitely just what Delco-
Digit will cost to operate. This
will vary with the amount of cur
rent used and some people use
more than others.
But we are able to state the
usual cost on the average farm.
This is about five cents a day,
and can be verified by asking any
Delco-Light user in this county.
Can you imagine anything else
that you could buy for five cents
. day that would give you any
thing like as much comfort or
help you half as much in your
work?

CONSERVATION
OF FOODSTUFFS.
PLAN URGED BY WILLIAM ELI.
OFT, FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

The programme for the conserva-
ton of food is outlined in a supple
mental home card which is soon to
be distributed by the United States
food administration for South Caro-
lima. William Elliott, food admin
istrator, is planning to have one of
these cards placed in every one of
the 100000 homes of the State.
Arrangements are also being made
for the distribution of 100000 leaf
lets: DO you know Corn Meal?"
and 300, 900 of the leaflets: DO
you know Oat Meal?" These leaf
lets are issued in an effort to have
the people use more substitute pro-
ducts for wheat. The leaflets con-
tain a number Of valuable recipes.
In accordance with the Presi-
dents proclamation, the home sup
Elemental card provides specifically
for the following programme:
Two wheatless days Monday and
Wednesday-in every week, and
one wheatless meal every day.
One meatless day-Tuesday-in
every week, and one meatless meal
every day.
Two porkless days-Tuesday and
Saturday-in every week.
Make every day a sugar-saving
day.
Use more fruit, vegetables and
potatoes.
More than 100000 homes in
South Carolina have already signed
the pledge card of the United States
food administration. In the new
campaign an effort will be made to
increase the number of signers to
300, 900. All householders who have
not signed the pledge card should
communicate with the Food Ad-
ministration, Arcade Building, Co.
lumbia, 8 G.
The people Of the State are urged
by the home supplemental card to
trade with the merchants display
ing the poster bearing the emblem
of the food administration. They
are also urged to patronize the res
taurants who are observing the rules
of the food administration.
The home supplemental card con-
tains specific directions for food
conservation as authorized by the
United States food administration.
Our problem is to feed the allies
and our own soldiers abroad by
sending them as much food as we
can of the most concentrated nutri-
tive value in the least shipping
space. These foods are wheat, beef.
pork, butter and sugar.
Our solution is to eat less Of these
and as little of all foods as will sup
port health and strength. All saw
ing counts for victory.
