All PASTORS

The churches of metropolitan st.
Louis will observe the first Sunday In
April al Liberty Loan Sunday.
There are about i0O parish churches
Of every faith. Protestant. Roman
Catholic and Jewish. but no sectarian
line will be drawn when 1t comes to
the work for Uncle Sam In crushing
once and for all the unbelievable In
EQUITY Of Prussianism.
Quite all that was necessary WAS
merely to suggest April Z as Liberty
Loan Sunday to get the wonderful
response that is coming daily into
headquarters Of the Liberty Loan Or.
ganizatlon. The loyalty Of all the
churches II doubiy assured In these
responses.
The Church Federation Of st. Louis
has a War Committee which is work.

the federation may observe the Sun.

The metropolitan has So parishes In

The Jewish community of 81. Louis
is an important one. comprising about
so. 900 souls. according to a conserva-
tive estimate. Both the orthodox and
the reformed wings of Judaism are in
tensely loyal to their country. Their
rabbis will do everything in their
power to enlist the active support of
their religious followers in the Third
Liberty Loan.
Each of the great religious sects
will, of course, have their own Pc
culiar method Of approach to the
great task. but there Is going to be a

ONE AND ONE-HALF


If we are to furnish the Allies
with the necessary proportion of
wheat to maintain their war
bread from now until the next
harvest-and this Is a military
necessity-we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000,-
900 bushels a month, as against
our normal consumption of about
100000 bushels. In other
words, we must reduce our nor
nal consumption by so per cent.
Reservlng a margin for distribu.
ton to the army and navy and
for special cases leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately
one and one-half pounds of
wheat products weekly for each
person.
Our wheat supply is short;
our supply of potatoes is abun-
dant. Decrease your consump-
ton Of wheat by increasing your
consumption Of potatoes. There
Is no limit on the amount of po-
tatoes that may be used, while
every person is asked to limit
his use of wheat to one and one
half pounds a week.
A chain of hotels in London
has established the practice of
serving baked potatoes at the
tables to guests free, provided
no bread is eaten. This substi-
tuition has proved entirely salts
factory. Do this In your own
home. Let the baked potato
take the place Of bread.
The conservation of wheat Is
the most important duty of the
nation for the next 60 days. Do
your share.
1t is a military necessity.
