PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK.

The women of America. who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning of the war, are now. as a
/ whole, familiar with the most impor.
tant aspects OF food conservation. The
Home Gard, both IN its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918.
which provides for Two whcatess days.
one meatless day week, in addition
to wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er vigorous campaign in l0,OOu,OO0
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance of the Home
Cards requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
Of the country.
The Food Administration has huu a
great many requests, however, particu.
larry from the homes of the wel-to-do,
that 1t should issue a worked out plan
for voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs from two csuses-first, be-
wife to save food when she has a con.
crete working plan by which to pro-
coed, and, second, because the loyal
women of America desire, unselfishly,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women Of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad.
ministrstion is almost the same as
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King
dom, In hundreds OF houses there
hangs In the front window a card with
the stirring pledge, AIN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RIA
TONS"
The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, is
the following:

The Items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case OF milk md cream. as much
may be used as necessary. and chill
dren, OF course, must have their full
allowance OF whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
be used as freely as Is desired.
