SELLING BONES FOR FOOD

Over in England att the height of the meat shortage and before the pop

on the side walks, waiting, not for their favorite matinee idol to pass, but
for a chance to enter a food shop and buy a small quantity of food. 1t

milk and a box or two of corned beef to be displayed.
Yet owe here in America, bones, hay even fats and precious scraps
of meat are going into the garbage pals! Although in many cities there
were long lines of people waiting last winter for supplies of coal, there

frequently long lines of people on the street, but mostly they are buying
tickets to shows! In the busy streets in towns and cities, shop keepers

A RIFLE

Il cannot carry a rifle but l can
do without wheat" said a hoary-head-
ed veteran OF the Civil War recently.
All the fighting of the days OF '63 was
reflected in his determined look. His
heart was still young enough TO yearn
to be over there with the boys of 1918.
He wanted to do his part in settling
once and for all the Huns insult to
civilization.
But though his heart was young, his
rheumatic joints reminded him sadly
that he could not hope TO take any
active part in today's war. He knew,
however, hat there was a part he
could still play; he could contribute
his share of the needed wheat to
those who are actually carrying the
rifles.
There are many men too old to car
~ rifles. There are some young men
whose physical ills prevent them from
going across Then there are women
and children who cannot be at the
front. But all these can and should

CANNING

Eighty per cent of commercially
canned fruits and vegetables have
been requisitioned by the government
to feed our army and navy, leaving
only twenty per cent for us at home to
depend on for the coming winter. This
means that every housewife should
can all surplus garden vegetables this
summer or run the risk Of being un-
able to buy canned goods at reason
able prices next winter. Every loyal
housewife will do this and in this way
help her government to feed the sol
diers. The goal for 1918 home can

A BUSHEl MEANS A SOLDIER

Do you know that every bushel OF
wheat now saved means the support
OF a soldier on the battle line until
the next harvest? AS no soldier can
live without food, every bushel of
wheat is the actual equivalent OF a
fighting unit. The moral is clear. We
must supply soldiers. But it is use
less TO supply the fighters themselves
withal upon which the soldier lives.
The number of men we can put in the
field is in direct relation to the mum.
