Saving f9f Others, Not Ourselves.

We have been told TO economic
so long in regard to saving money
that when it comes to saving some
thing which does not put a single
nickel in our pocket book, we are
apt to feel something is wrong
The food pledge cards, which
have been sent out, ask US to do our
best to save the wheat of the to1n-
try. Graham -four, corn meal, or
oatmeal all cost as much as white
-four we are asked not to use. We
are not saving for our good but are
asked to take very unsel6sh inter-
in our neighbor and fellow citizens
across the waters. We may do this
bS means Of a wheatlcss day or by
cutting down our supplies of wheat
flour In some other way. We ought
to feel that this responsibility is
something We must RI to meet: the
way in which we do if does not mat
ter SO much as the spirit Of loyalty
and devotion which makes Us eager
to help in this big work.
