TO SAVE FOOD IN IDAHO
WHAT AND WHEN TO EAT
WHEAT, BEEF, PORK, BUTTER
AND SUGAR MUST BE saw
ED TO WIN THE WAR.

BY direction of United States Food
Administrators Herbert Hoover, FEEDER
al Food Administrator r. +. Bicknell's
office today released the provisions of
the United States Administration
Home Card 1918" captioned What
You Can Do to Help Win This War"
The problem is defined as follows.
ITO feed the allies and our own SOL
diers abroad by sending them as much
food as we can of the most concen-
trated nutritive 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 saving
counts for victory"
Call to the Loyal.
The food administration calls upon
every loyal American to help win the
war by maintaining rigdly, as a min
imum of saving the following pro-
gram:
Have two wheatess days monday
and Wednesday,, in every week and
one wheatless meal in every day.
"On wheatless days and in wheat
less meals of other days use no crack
ers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast food
or other cereal containing wheat and
use no wheat flour in any form except
the small amount that may be needed
for thickening soups or gravies, or for
a binder in corn bread or other cereal
breads. AS to bread, If you bake it at
home use other cereals than wheat
and if you buy it, buy only war bread.
Our object is that we should buy and
consume one-third less wheat pro-
ducts than we did last year.
"Have one meatless Tuesday in
every week and one meatless meal in
every day. Have two porkless days
TUESDAY and Saturday. in every
week.
"Meatless means without any cat
tie, hog or sheep products. On other
days use button and lamb in prefer
ence to beef or pork Porkless means
products freshed or preserved. Use
fish, poultry and eggs AS nation we
eat and waste nearly twice as much as
we need
Rules for Idaho.
Attention is called to the fact by
the Idaho administration that the pro-
vision as to meatless day and meatless
meals do not apply to the state of Ida
no until March 10 and citizens of this
state until that date instead of the
usual meatless day are to observe
Tuesday and Saturday as porkless
days.
"The 1918 home card asks that every
day be made fat saving day and peo-
pie are asked to fry less and to bake,
broil, boil or stew foods instead. Sug-
gestion is made to save meat drippings
and use these and vegetable oils for
cooking instead of butter. 1t is said
we use and waste two and a half
times as much fat as we need. But
ter, lard and lard substitutes are not
to be used when their use can be
avoided.
I'VE are asked to make every day a
sugar saving day and to use fruits,
vegetables and potatoes abundantly
and that we raise all we can for home
use.
1.-THE wise use of milk is requested,
by which is meant all of the milk
should be used and no part of it vast
ed. 1t states that children must have
whole milk and the use Of sour and
SKINNED milk in cooking and for cot
tage cheese is suggested.
"Hoardng food is strongly con-
demned and the card states that any
one who buys or holds a larger sup
ply of food now than in peace time
except food canned, dried or presedv-
ed in the home, is helping to defeat
the food administration in its attempt
to secure a just distribution of food
and the establishment of fair prices
The food hoarder is working against
the common good and even against the
very safety of the country. Hoarding
food in households is both selfish and
unnecessary; the government is pro-
tecting the food supply Of its people.
Report to the nearest food admin
istration officer the name and address
of any person discouragng the pro-
duction or saving of food states the
card.
Among the reasons given why we
must save food is the explanation OF
how critical the situation has become
There is simply not enough food In
Europe, yet the soldiers of the allies
must be maintained in full strength
their wives and children at home mus
not face famine the friendly neutrals
must not be starved; and, finally, oul
own army in France must never lacl
needed ounce Of food.
But One Way.
"There is just one way in which al
these requirements can be met. Nortf
America must furnish the food. Ant
we must furnish it from our saving!
because we have already sent our nor
NAL surplus.
1--WE do not need to starve our owl
people. We have plenty for ourselves
