comparatively few Americans ever went hungry. The
peril Of plenty has been greater gasronomc danger and
dyspepsia far more prevalent than hunger manutron
Overeang less common than in times past High prices
and war conservation have combined to reduce what
formerly was something Of a national oense But there
are still those who follow closely possible the old
habits of guttony; who live to eat without measuring
the ration by the needs Of the body Such will do we'll to
heed as we'll as hear the appeal Of the food administration

has been done in that direction Less food is being literally
thrown away than before learned that part Of the world

that should be corrected
Further saving without loss Of needed nutriment may

American cuisine has been notably expensive and in many
instances without the excellence the additional expense
should have provided Sugar restricted that the former
waste Of sweets is largely corrected but the saving Of fats
which also important hasn't reached the proportions
II could The frying habit is too to this country
for own good at any time and that fats
in other countries would be we'll to the
habit
With meatless and wheatleN days in months past this
country saved huge quantities of those commodities enough
