Keep on saving food! Peace or
no peace-war or no war-keep on
saving food" Miss Elizabeth Cham
berlin, federal food agent, urges on
all loyal Americans.
with the daily reports of good
news from overseas and the seeming
nearness OF peace, there is apt to be
a tendency toward laxness with re-
gard to the food conservation. This
must not be, the war is not yet won
and were the armistice signed and
peace formally declared, we still
have a large and even greater re-
sponsibility in feeding the world
Reports have come to the country
that France is not sorely in need of
food, that the people there have
abundant supplies from which to
draw and that starvation would not
stare them in the face should Amer
lean support be withdrawn. are def
nitely and emphatically denied by
The u. S. food administration. No
piece of deliberate German propo-
ganda could do greater injury at
this time. France is short of food
and would soon be starving if our
help should be withdrawn. This is
but one instance of the need for our
continued conservation" said Miss
Chamberlin. Make your plans for
victory remembering that Americas
contribution will be seventeen and
one half million tons of food.
Whether victory comes in Novem-
Der, 1918 or in the summer OF 1919
America is bound to do her share"
