breadstuffs amounts to about six
pounds per week and OF meats and
fat to four pounds week for each
person. A reduction In consumption
of less than one-half pound per week
per person in each Of these two great
groups OF foods would accomplish
our purpose. We wish To emphasize.
ment In the use OF milk for children
Some of our homes by reason of
limited income cannot now provide
more food than they should have to
maintain health in the family. They
cannot rightfully be asked TO make
the suggested reduction in consump
ton. But the great majority of our
homes can do more than suggested.
We need even greater simplicity OF
living than last year amongst all that
section of the community to whom
foodstuffs are secondary item in
expenditure.
We estimate that nearly 100000
people eat at our public eating places
hotels, restaurants, boarding houses,
clubs, dining cars and so forth. The
food consumption III these places is
larger than in the average homes.
We are asking the proprietors ana
employees of these institutions to un.
dertake in many particulars a more
strict program than last year, and we
are confident that they will willingly
do this.
This is not rationing-a thing we
will never have If our people continue
to support us as in the past We are
simply making an appeal to the In.
telligence in the homes and public
eating places of America to work out
of saving
This year as last | believe we can
accomplish the necessary ends by
voluntary action OF our own people.
The willingness to assume individual
responsibility In this matter by the
vast majority is one of the greatest
proofs Of the character and idealism
Of our people, and feel II can be con-
stantly relied upon. Our simple
formula for this year is to further re-
duce consumption and waste of all
food. We have 80 arranged the Inter
national Food Program that, except
for moderate substitution of other
cereals in bread, it will not, we hope,
be necessary to substitute one food
stuff for another, nor to resort TO
wheatless and meatless days. What
we need is to reduce directly our
consumption OF ALL foodstuffs, lay
ing especial emphasis on the staples
The Allies are in need of all the sur.
plus of the great staples that we can
provide
1t is necessary that every family IN
the United States study its food
budget and food ways to see if it can
not buy less, serve less, return moth
ing TO the kitchen and practice the
gospel Of the clean plate.
