Pre- pared by the United States depart ment of Agriculture and the food ad- ministration and with the aid of state representatives, the leaflets carry the countrys expert thought on food con- servaiton and utilization translated into popular language. For the mother who may be confused with much ad- vice about her war obligation, as we'll as for the food conservation worker the message of the leaflets should be most helpful.

 Diet for Little Citizens.
 Diets for the children, one leaflet says in big type, should not be skimpy. but wise selection will enable food saving even in their meals. And then, after enumerating model breakfasts, dinners and suppers, the experts make a bid for the child vote with these suggestions:
 Sweets are good for them-the right ones at the right time. Dates raisins, stewed fruits, simple buildings and sugar cookies are better than candy. Give them at meal time. Be- tween meals let them have bread and butter, cracker or fruit. They won't spoil the appetite, and candy between meals will.'
