 l We are very highly gratified at the l interest which has been manifested thus far in this food conservation drive" said Miss Pederson. state chair man. The food question is to my mind one of the most important of any of the war problems before the coun- try. The noble work of the food ad- ministratino can only be effective in l so far as the housewives of the nation make it effective. The limitations placed on the use of wheat, that the 1 allies and our own army and navy may be supplied, make it all theemore | important that every household should eeonomize and understand different i uses Of food. The government pro- gram wisely carried out. is in no way detrimental to health. but quite the l contrary
