fast food or other cereal food con-
tanning wheat. and use no flour In
any form except the small amount
that may be needed for thickening
soups or gravies. or for binder in
corn bread, and other cereal breads.
As to bread, II you bake It ut home.

you buy It. buy only war bread. Our
object is that we should buy and con-
sumo one-third less wheat products
than We did last year,

day, every week. and one meatless
; meal every day. Have two pOrkless
