to Play.
These are no days for twaddling
tongues. or twiddling thumbs. We are
at war in earnest. Witness lcngthen-
ing casualty lists. From now on
every one Of US must be prepared to
bear greater responsibilities than ever
before.
II is impossible to conduct our
lives as we did previous to the war.
We must overhaul our whole system
of living and preface everything we
do with the question. rs this helping
to win the war;"
Not until. we have the firm know
ledge tizgsyerNk4as--A.n,
our business affairs, but also In the
home, is helping. not hindering our
victory. can we hope to crush Germany
which for years has governed both the
public and private lives Of her people
| with but one object In view, that Of
some day being strong enough to put
every nation under foot that could dis
pute her supremacy.
Let the woman who hcsitatcs TO put
her cooking on a wheatlcss basis re-
member that 1t is her duty to go with
ont any wheat from now until the next
harvest.
| But" some housewife may say,
the official ration Of wheat Is q pound
and half per person per week. why
should l go without wheat when this
ration is allowed by the food admin
istration?"
This Is a legitimate question, but one
easily answered. After a careful sur
vey of the nations wheat supply the
food administration has estimated that
we can meet the tremendous demands
made on us II every one In the coun-
try cuts his wheat ration to a pound
and n half per week.
But there will be some who can
not possibly do this, much as they
would like to do 1t. These people are
the ones who keep the wheels Of the
nations industry moving. Many Of
these are working extra hours to keep
the nation apacc Of the enormously in
creasing demands Of war. They have
little time to cook at home and must
therefore, buy most Of their food, q
large part Of which is bread.
To be sure. they will buy only VIC
tory bread. but this, at best, must
contain over so per cent wheat in or
der to make 1t durable enough for dis
tribution through bakeries. Hence
these people must in most cases ex-
ceed the weekly ration Of one and one
half pounds Of wheat.
1t remains for those housewives who
do have time at home to do their cook
ing and go without wheat altogether,
in order TO make the average wheat
consumption one and a half pounds
per capita
| Delay and unwillingness to shoulder
\ responsibility that is rightfully yours
means that these days Of horror and
carnage will be prolonged.
II you believe that food will win
the war you have no alternative.
