penalty or given as a
request from the Executive Mansion
in Washington. To achieve this vic
tory over our enemy we must first
have control over ourselves. 1t Is
therefore the duty of every citizen to
put a watch upon his appetite and
govern it so as to control 1t, and hot
allow it to be his master.
The question Of nourishment in
foods does not demand that we should
eat meat and wheat bread all the
time when there are so many other
foods undeveloped in America which
are as nutritive as those we have been
using, therefore in this question of self
control, it is our privilege to win a
victory by taking up new lines Of
food, and as we DO this we are over.
coming the enemy.
If you saw burglar breaking into
your neighbor's home, you would not
hesitate to report the matter to the
police authorities. If you see people
wilfully wasting food or disregarding
the regulations promulgated by the
President of the United States and the
United States Food Administration, 1t
is your duty to report such depreda-
tions to the Food Administrator OF
your county or state, as conscientious
ly as you wHald that of the thief break
ing into your neighbor's home.
Food is sacred; to waste 1t Is to
prolong the war. To save it Is to add
strength to our army. The following
is a paraphrase of Whitcomb Riley's
''The Goblin will get you If you don't
watch out" written by Sophia Kerr:
Little Herbis Hoover's come to our house
to stay,
To make US scrape the dishes clean. an
keep the crumbs away,
An learn us to make war bread. an save
up all the grease
For the less we eat OF butter the sooner
we'll have peace.
For your information there is 4
county Food Administrator in each
county, whose name and address, II
you do not already know. may be
found by inquiry at your postoffioe.
Give him the name of any one you may
find disobeying food regulations, and
he will handle the case in such a way
as to bring about the greatest good
with the least trouble.

Dear Parents:-
have not had very good oppor-
tunity to write to you for some time.
We have now for many days been
on the front and taken shots at the
enemy and have had them use their
cannons on us.
1t is almost impossible to tell the
sensation when the big shells come
over us and when they explode, max
ing a terrible sound.
We had to use our gas masks as
the enemy were trying to gas us,
but we are absolutely safe when we
have these masks.
There is no one in our battery that
have been wounded yet and we are
all being kept we'll.
We have good underground cellars,
where we sleep and get good food and
we are being given the best care.

call them.
