I'VE WON'T WIN IF WE WASTE"
Tested Wartime Recipes
FOR USE IN MICHIGAN
(Clip and save these recipes for
future reference-)


Remember. that the recipes which
are being given here. and those which
you will find in other places, are
merely suggestive. They show what
can be done. But recipes alone will
not solve the problem. Winning this
war by food will not be possible unless
you give to the matter your earnest
and sincere thought and cooperation.
The problem is for you to reduce by
one-third the amount of wheat you
have been using. How 1t can best be
done In your household is for you to
decide. But see that II is done.
Below are some tried recipes for war
bread which may be found interesting
and useful. When liquid yeast is used,
cupful may be counted as equal to
one cake OF dry or compressed yeast
and slight reduction must be made In
the total amount OF liquid used.
