Food Administrator's Column.

Once more allow me to make an
appeal to you to save flour. The
food situation has become serious.
We have used up all of our surplus
wheat and what we send our allies
and our boys lover there" must be
from our own savings. Our Allied
friends and Ioys over there who are
fighting for you and the peace of the
world must be fed. Just think of
them over there undergoing all kinds
OF dangers and hardships and giving
up their lives for your protection.
Are you going to let them want for
something to eat? Are you so sell
fish and mean that you will not put
:" urself to little inconvenience by
giving them your flour and sugar
when you have so many other
health and strength giving substi-
tutes you can use? Knowing you like
L do l am confident you will gladly
give it to them once the necessity is
called to your attention. If you can
not give them all give them half. 1t
is only until the new harvest comes
ln-only about two months Let's
all get together and make Dillon
county the banner county in the state
for saving for our boys over there.
No More Wheat Bread Until Next
Harvest.
Through the patriotic action of the
club women of South Carolina, thous-
ands of families throughout this
State will abstain from eating wheat
bread until the next harvest. when
the shortage in wheat, so necessary
for Americas Allies, will be reliey-
ed.
AT the Aiken convention of the
south Carolina Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, on April 26. resolu-
tlon was unanimously adopted, pied
ging the club women to buy no more
wheat flour until after the next
harvest
There are more than 1875 federat-
ed clubs in South Carolina, with a
total membership of upwards of S.
900 women. Women control in
the home; and for these patriotic
women, Victory Bread is not the linn
1T OF sacrifice. If Victory Bread will
save some wheat, corn bread will
save more wheat for the comrade
people of Allied countries who are de
pendent upon America for food and
the cry is for more wheat.
Join in with this movement It's
