CONSERVATION PROGRAM
FOR PUBLIC EATING PLACES

conservation program IOI PuUl1C ee1I
ing places effective October 81, 1915
is announced by Frank H. Brooks,
Federal Food Administrator for Yer
mont. Pamphlets descriptive of this
program will be sent to proprletors
Of hotels and restaurants by the Uni
Ted States Food Administration but
it is important that the general pub
lie should be familiar with this new
program which must be carried out
if America is to provide sufficient
food for the rapidly increasing Ameri
can army in Europe and for the
Allied Armies and the Allied civil
population during this year.
In emphasizing the necessity for
conscientious conservation during
this year, Mr.. Brooks said, During
the year ending July l, 1919, the
United States must ship for the
American Army, the Allied civilians
and armies, and certain neutrals
who are dependent upon America H.
$4,000 tons of food stuffs, which is
5,730,OOO tons more than was shipped
during the year ending July /, 1918.
Directed by President Wilson 20 as
sure the Allies that IN this common
cause we eat at common table, Mr..
Hoover promised the Allied Food Con-
ference that whatever their allied
War-food program called for from
America we should fulfill. He told
them that We by the economy Of our
people, have the reserves i'll food 20
supply all necessities
ITO redeem this promise Of the
American people made through MIR.
Hoover the pTopriet0rs of public eat
ing places must undertake in many
particulars a stricter program than
last year. It is estimated that nearly
5000 900 people eat at public eating
places. And the food consumption in
these places is larger than in the
average homes. Hence in the new
Home Card to be issued for American
households on October % and in the
new program for public eating places
now being sent out, together COM
prising 2 Victory Conservation Pro-
gram, the Food Administration or
phasizes the absolute necessity Of a
further reduction OF the consumption
