The wide, wide fields are golden,

BEEF is NEEDED FOR
THE FIGHTING MEN
Americans Asked TO Place Themselves
ON Limited Allowance Until Sep
TENDER 10.

To meet the needs of the American
and allied armies and the civilian pop
ulations of France, Great Britain and
Italy, the American people are asked
by the food administration to place
themselves on a limited beef allow
ance from now until next September
Is.
Householders were requested not to
under any circumstances" to buy
more than one and one-quarter pounds
of clear beef weekly, or n and one
half pounds including the bone. for
each person in the household.
Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly, beefsteak more than
one meal weekly and roast beef more
than one meal weekly.
THE demand for beef for our army,
the armies of the allies and their civ
ilian populations for this summer
said the food administrations an
.nouncement. ARE beyond our present
supplies. On the other hand, we have
enough increased supply of pork this
summer to permit economical expan-
sion in it's use. 1t, therefore, will be
a direct service to our armies and the
allies if our people will in some de-
gree substitute fresh pork, bacon, ham
and sausage for beef products.
