No Substitute Now

Columbia, No., Mar. % The

strictest observation of fifty plan

follows:
Yin view of absolute necessity
for futher conservation of wheat
and wheat products the entire
country must adopt the fifty. fifty
plan, using only the substitutes
on the original official list for con
sumers. Therefore, states no,
now on the fifty fifty plan and
also states using potatoes as sub
stitutes should enforce the com
plete fifty fifty rule after Mon
day, March II.
we appreciate some states
will have ditficultyin finding sub.
%stitutes. This simply means
that wheat or wheat products
should be sold only to extent
that there are available substi
tutes of equal weight, this re.
sulting in, conservation of wheat
for the Allies. Once more we
wish to emphasize that our more
abundant meals should be snb.
stituted for our less abundant
breadstuffs.
I'm order to eliminate possible
confusion, program for meat un-
til further notice is simply no
beef or pork on Tuesdays. The
whole basis of the change is to
substitute our more abundant
meats for our less abundant
breadstuffS, AS to wheat and
wheat products, the 1913 Home
Card should be considered as
we hope that a temporary reduc.
ton on the meal restriction will
be off set by more rigid economy
in all uses of wheat products.

Women Must Bear Burden

Columbia. Mo Mar % If fnod
conservation is to succe d the
women must bear the burden.
This is the opinion of Mrs.
Champ Clark, wife of the speak.
er of the House of Representa-.
tives, who spoke in Washington
recently Oh food conservation.
Herbert Hoover is the best in.
formed man in the world on food
needs. Mrs. Clark declared, aud
added that the sugar shortage
probably would have been avert
if the country had needed his
warning.
MIR. Hoover will ask from the
American people no sacrifice on
their part which he does not
deem necessary he said. And
the sooner the American people
realize this, the better for all of
US.
Il believe Mr.. Hoovtr's policy
IF taking the country into his
confidence regarding conditions
is a wise one which might be i'm
itated by other governmental de
partments.
Just now we are being asked
to save wheat to meet the re-
q%uirements of England, France
and Italy. If it becomes necess.
ary, there are other things we
in this country Can eat in PLACE of
wheat until our new crop is har-
sted. am willing for my part
that Mr.. Hoover should send the
wheat necessary to keep the
Allies going, even if it does mean
some inconvenience to ourselves,
and hope he will do this, l think
it represents the true American
spirit.
The Food Administrations
new Home Gard says the time
has come for sacrifice. l wish
this might be written in the heart
of every Americ IN housewife.
"Mr. Hoover knows that if say
ing is to be made popular in this
country and waste unpopular it
is the American women on whom
we must depend. think this
is a high compliment Mr.. Hoover
paid the intelligence of the wo,
men of this country"
