EATING SOLDIERS"

Somebody remarks that the people
who are living now on pure wheat
-four every day are sacrificing soldiers
-"eating soldiers" Mr.. Hoover asks
that we stop this. One wheatless day
in the twenty million families in
America will save, according to Mr..
Hoover three million barrels of flour
month Mt the lowest calculation. At
the same time, graham bread, rye
bread, ETC., is better food than white
flour. Have you tried it? We should
begin at once. Save the wheat for
the armies. Stop "eating soldiers"

own reinstatement and the loss of
all that he has gained since the eman-
