This year as last I believe We can

willingness to assume individual re.

majority is one OF the greatest proofs
Of the character and idealism of our
people, and l feel it can be constantly
relied upon. Our simple formula for
this year is to further reduce con-
sumption and waste of all food
We have SO arranged the interna-
tional food program that, except tor
moderate substitution of other cereals
in bread, it will not, we hope, be nee
essary to substitute one fuodstuff for
another, nor TO resort to wheatless and
meatless days. What we need is to
reduce directly our consumption of all
fcodstuffs, laying especial emphasis
on the staples. The allies are in need
of all the surplus Of the great staples
that we can provide
1t is necessary that every family in
the United States study it's food bud
get and food ways to seq if it cannot
buy less, serve less, return nothing to
the kitchen and practice the gospel
OF the clean plate.
The Benson signal., 1918-11-02

Even this program means further
denial of the allies next year. They
are making this sacrifice in the com
mon cause. We must maintain the
health and strength of every human
being among them OF they will be I'M
able to put their full strength along
side our own in the supreme effort.
At the Presidents direction, / have
assured them that sin this common
cause, we eat at common table," and
upon entering these conferences in
Europe we promised them that what
ever their war-food program called for
from US we should fulfill.

our resources are no greater than last

give this increase in food supplies, of
5,730,000 tons over last year, and still
have a margin over the amount neces
Sary to maintain our own health and
