THE FOOD PROBLEM JN TIIE PRESENT CRISIS. v BY MARY RAUSCII ' .' i (Assistant Professor of Home Economics, University of Washington; , ' Women should not cease1 buying food and clothing now. I It is important that we continue to clothe and feed our' j selves and our children sufficiently, and besides we must j keep on buying in order to keep business normal and fac tories and men employed. We must leam not to be ex travagant, and especial care must be exercised in the con sumption or white bread and meat. Cornmeal and other grains should be used in pjaee of white flour while sub stitutes for meat are urged. Even it it costs more than to buy in the markets, plant a garden. It is a patriotic duty for everyone to grow his own vegetables and leave the crops of the farms for the soldiers and other workers. Women who are careful about waste and who produce as much as they can at home are good soldiers, too.
