It is not the runner who starts off
with a sudden squirt who is most apt
/ to win long race. Rather it is he
who keeps up a steady determined jog
knowing well that he is going to be
able to hold out.
The housewives Of America are now
engaged in an endurance test in food
saving. 1t is not the woman who
practices rigid economy one week only,
to grow slack and permit waste and ex-
travagance the next, who will help the
nation win the food race. Rather it is
the steady, consistent saver who will
accomplish most toward feeding the
army and the allies.
Her enthusiasm and effort must not
sag. She must not let her family grow
dissatisfied with their daily fare be-
cause the menus have become monoton-
GUS or uninviting. 1t takes continued
interest to readjust the eating of ones
family and keep them smiling over it.
One way is to make of it competitive
game. Get the members Of the family
interested in contributing suggestions
for dishes and desserts that will save
food and avoid waste.
And it is a game that must go on as
long as the war lasts. Even if there
is bumper crop this season there will
still be need for saving. We should
store up for possible leaner years
ahead.
