POTATO WEEK.

In order to judiciously administer
the food of our state 1t has been decid
ed to designate the week beginning
April Z, as Potato Week for Kentucky.
A strict account is being kept of our
food supply, and whereas some foods
are distressingly short other foods are
abundant. There is such quantity Of
potatoes left on hand in XIV. that I'M
less the supply is immediately used the
farmers will plant sparingly this spring.
We are asked to help in administer
ing the Food of the county by eating
potatoes three times a day during
Potato week. Use these potatoes dur
ing this week in place of foods that
have to be transported from other
states, and also use them as substitute
for wheat. which is so lamentably
scarce.
Instead of necessitating the labor
and fuel used in making the potatoes
into -four and the flour into bread use
your potatoes as substitute for bread.
Set the example by using potatoes
every meal the week of April 9TH. and
influence every housekeeper to do the
same. Your help is needed to win the
war. Eat Potatoes every meal the
week of April 9TH, and save wheat
flour.

wheat products that can legitimately
be used by each person If the wheat
