Special to the Express.
Norman, Okla, Jan. 28.-The food
administration is calling upon the
American people to save this year
an amount wheat equal to one-third
of the quantity used by them last
year. 1t is calling upon them to
save more meats, fats and sugar
A guide for this saving is the new
1918 Home Card This card is Just
published and will be mailed to ev
cry person in the state who signed
food pledge last fall,
This Home Card will hang upon
the wall of every kitchen to remind
the housewives of every meal of the
nations needs Here are the proyis-
ions of the Home Card for 1918.
"The food administration asks
every loyal American to help win the
war by maintaining rigidly as a min.
imum of saving tho following Ere
gram;
Have two wheatless days, Mon
day and Wednesday, every week,
and one wheatless meal each day.
"On wheatless days and in wheat
less meals Of other days use no
crackers, pastry, macaroni, break
fast food or other cereal food con
taining wheat and use no wheat flour
in any form except the small amount
that may be needed for thickening
soups or grayies, or for a binder in
corn bread and other cereal breads
AS to bread, if you bake 1t at home
use other cereals than wheat and II
you buy it, buy only war bread Our
object is that we should buy and
consume one-third less wheat pro.
ducts than we did Last year.
Have one meatless day Tuesday,
every week, and one meatless meal
every day Have two workless days
Tuesday aud Saturday, every week
"Meatless meals should be with
out any cattle, hog or sheep pro.
ducts. On the other days use NUT
ton and lamb in preference to beef
or pork, Pordess meals mean meals
without pork, bacon lard or pork
products, fresh or preserved. Use
fish, poultry and eggs. AS nation
we eat and waste nearly twice as
much as we need.
Make every day a fat saving day
(butter. lard and lard substitutes).
Fry less. Bake, broil boil or stew
foods instead Save meat drippings.
Use them and vegetable oils for cook
ing instead of butter Butter has
food values vital to children, there
fore, give it to them. Use it only
on the table. Waste no soap; it's
made from fat. Be careful of all
fats. We use and waste two and
one-half times as much fat as we
need
Use fruits vegetables and pota-
toes abundantly. These foods are
healthful and plentiful and at the
same time partly take the place OF
other foods which we must have

use milk wisely. Use all of the
milk. Waste no part Of it. The
children must have whole milk. Use
sour and SKINNED milk in cooking
and for cottage cheese.
Anyone buying and holding
larger supply of food now than il
peace time except foods canned
dried or preserved, in the home, is
helping defeat the food administra
ton in its effort to secure just
distribution of food and the estab
lishment of fair prices. The foot
hoarder is working against the com

ty of the country Hoarding food il
households is both selfish and un
necessary. The government is pro
