Flour for the Army

Wars are no longer all bullets and
blades; they are also bread and beef.
1t has beer the business Of an army
to lead in fighting, and the business
Of civilians to lead in supplying food.
In this war. especially, it Is the proud
part Of h men and women at home
to lead in food conservation. We
know as never before that the soldier
cannot fight unless he is we'll fed;
that people cannot support all the alb
normal conditions of war unless they
are we'll fed.
Bread is the foundation on which
We will rest. The most fnsiStent
drive of the food administration. has
been save the wheat" We must
send 100, 900, 900 bushels Of wheat
overseas before the first of June. 1t
cannot come out of our surplus, be-
cause there is not any. 1t must come
out of our saving.
Who is helping to save it? Are
you? You used to consume 215
pounds Of flour in pre-war days. The
food administration wants you TO con
sumo only $50 pounds a year now,

Flour per person Il year! But you
must look t o your laurels. Our brave
