America would quit eating third to
half again as much at each meal as

one said today. "In Germany and
England and France they have been

the food supply in Germany has sunk

Government information shows
that what this man says of Germany
is true Of the middle and poorer
classes only. The rich still find op-
portunity and inclination to make
dining room pigs of themselves.
The official referred to makes the
suggestion that American over-eaters
quit their appetite habit voluntarily.

corporal in Company X, but was sent

On the medical staff was Wilbur
