Public Asked to Reduce Proportion of Produces Necessary to War-SufH- cient Foodstuffs to Be Kept in America by Administration.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-The new home card of the food administration has been issued and will be distributed throughout the country to aid house. keepers in observing the 1918 food conservation program of two wheat less, one meatless and two porkless days a week as pronounced in the presidents proclamation.
 The card carrying an explanation of the plan will go into effect today when the bakers begin making Vic tory loaf, a war bread, containing a 5 per cent substitute for wheat flour. Bakers are to increase the substitutes for wheat flour until a 20 per cent. substitution is reached February 24. At the same time grocers will sell householders wheat flour only when the purchaser buys an equal amount of some other cereal The food ad- ministration card asks "every loyal American to help win the war by maintaining rgidly as a minimum of saving the following program:
 Wheatless Day.
 Have two weatless days, (Monday and Wednesday, in every week and one wheatless meal in every day.
 ''EXplanaton-On 'wheatless' days and in 'Wheatless' meals of other days, use no crackers, pastry, macaro- nj, breakfast food or other cereal food containing wheat, and use no wheat flour in any form except the small amount that may be needed for th1ckenlng soups or gravies, or for a. binder in corn bread and other cereal breads. As to bread, if you bake it at home, use other cereals than wheat and if you buy it buy only war bread. Our object is that we should buy and consume one-third less wheat pro- ducts than we did last year.
 Meatless and PorkIess Days.
 Have one meatless day (Tuesday) in every week, and one meatless meal in every day. Have two porkless days, (Tuesday and Saturday., in every week.
 "Explanation-'me meat1ess' means with out any cattle, hog or sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in preference to beef or pork. Pork less means without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products fresh or pre- served. Use fish, poultry and eggs. AS @ nation we eat and waste nearly twice as much meat as we need.
 Fat Saving Day.
 Make every day a fat saving day (butter, lard, lard substitute etc.,
 Explanation -- fry less; bake broil, boil or stew food instead Save meat drippings; use these and vege- table oils for cooking instead of but children; therefore give it to them. Use it only on the table. Waste no soap; it is made from fat. Be careful of all fats. We use and waste two and a half times as much fat as we need
 Make every day a sugar saving day.
 "EXplanation-us less sugar. Less sweet drinks and candy containing sugar should be used in war time As a nation We have used twice as much sugar as we need"
 The card cautions householders also against hoarding food and gives re- newed assurance that the governm ent ''by it's control of exports will retain for our people a sufficient supply of every essential foodstuff." Warning children also given. The reverse side of the card outline the reasons for the necessity of food saving, emphasiz- ing the Allies absolute need of wheat, meats, fats and sugar.
