70 It's armies and Allies II, S20, 900 tons
OF food. This year, with no larger re-
sources upon which to draw, they must
ship 17,550,000 tons. This is an in
crease Of $4,000 tons. or practically
70 per cent.
In other words, America this year
must save so per cent more food than
they saved a year ago.
How is this to be done?
1.-THE rigid rules which have been
laid down for public eating places and
which were outlined in these columns
. week ago, show what the food ad.
m1n1strat1on believes it is necessary
for hotels, restaurants, boarding houses
and other places where ready food

'trat1ou Intends to sec that this is done.

But, this affects only about 10 per
cent Of the people of the United States.
What about the other 80 per cent or
more than 90,000,000 people? In other
words, what about saving in the Amer
lean home?
This Is tho answer: The American
housewife must put herself into inten.

her resources as effectively as the SOL
der Is compelled to save his strength
and use it with the most telling force.
She must conserve scientifically and
an the other members of the family
must support her Loyalty in doing this.
All must conserve in the use of every
kind OF food. To eat merely for the
pleasure Of eating, after enough has
been consumed to sustain health and
strength, is to waste just as surely as
TO throw good food into the garbage
can.
Here is typical illustration: A
small boy in Minnesota household.
the other day, within an hour after a
hearty dinner asked for something to
eat. His father knew that he could
not be hungry, that he was merely
asking for food to satisfy his appetite
for goodies His father met his re.
quest with the figures which are given
above and followed that with this
statement: Every mouthful you eat
which is unnecessary for the main
tenance Of your health and strength is
mouthful taken from someone in
Europe who needs it thousand times
more than you do. Now, If as a loyal
young American you feel you can eat
food within an hour after having full
meal, it is up to YOU The boy was
game and refused the food.
But, it is just that kind of thing
that American families have got to
face this year. Eating merely for the
pleasure of eating must stop, If we
arc going to do the right thing by our
sons and other relatives, and our
friends, who have gone overseas to
wipe out one of the cruelest and vilest
groups of selfconstituted tyrants that
the world has ever known, and to make
the world a free and decent place to
live in.
I'VE have subscribed for liberty loan
bonds. We have given to the Belgian
relief, to the Red Cross. to the Y. M.
G. A., Y. w. G. A.. and similar organ
izations. We have contributed Loyalty
In order to make the leave-taking of
our home boys express our determine
ton to support them here at home
while they fight our battles abroad.
All this is good, but we undo all Of
this kind of thing, In q measure at
least, If we do not conserve food.
The phrase, food Stacker will be-
come term of reproach as bitter as
any other to the conscience Of the
American who does not cooperate In
the home food drive that is now before

: II believe, however, that there will
be few slackers in American homes
this winter" concluded Mr.. Wilson.
Americans are too wide awake to
the necessity of saving the lives Of
their soldiers by saving food. They
are too loyal to be careless or indif-
1orent in the food campaign that Is
ahead. But it should be remembered
that
