them back. Nn can 10 90 II We wish
to. by saving food for them and tv
Joining thc Red Cross and also knit
ting for the soldiers We ought 10

into a plate and every time q niece of
Tread Is wanted Jus, take 1t out Of the
plate They take q board and put the

dren would save food We VIII II. doing
our bit. Before sugar WAS 80 scarce
some children still continued 3nd some
children have stopped, but the right
il that We must not make ans because
the sugar is needed for TIA" boys and
men who are on the battle field work
ing so hard for US. We should not eat
cake with icing ON X. | used 10 maxi
candy almost every other day. hu.
since the war has begun nave not
made any. Mothy hasn't made any
cakes with Icing OIL it FOR about Il year.
for cakes itself takes up great deal
OF sugar so, now We can help save
food by not eating and making cakes
and candies, for 1t takes up lots of
sugar and cakes take M ilour. too. We
very seldom have l!-a' bread; we have
mostly rye bread and hardly ever have
meat for dinner Or supper or any time
We have mca, about once in two
months and We don't nave none at all
sometimes. We very seldom have fried
food, We have mostly cooked iooo>.
Don't forget to ask your parents TO
buy Liberty bonds and YOU Yourself
buy thrift stamps My father bought
Liberty bonds, and am going TO buy
A thrift stamp as soon rs | have
enough money in the bank. / have
almost enough in tho bank 10 huy one.
SO we must save wheat. meat and
sugar 10 send 10 our boys across the
sea. and Uncle sam Will be proud OF
his little helpers
