THE METHOD

As military necessity. Ameri-
cans eat potatoes instead OF wheat
dip carefully into the sugar bowl,
make their clothes last longer. save
their income above bare need for
government funds. set their clocks

Allied strategy shapes the food
conservation campaign.
Military urgency gives force to
every food regulation.
All needs bend to army require
