FACE the FACTS
ET ui face the facts. The war altuation Is critical.
Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at tneir best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
L
Wheat Savings—»They must have wheat
It is the
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship. W s
alone can spare it to them. By saving just s. little—
leas than a quarter o f what we ate last vear— we can
support those w h oare fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. W s have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Cara o t Plenty— Corn is that food. There’s a
surplus o f i t Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train-
loads o f corn. Fivt hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. AH we have to do is to
learn to appreciate i t Was ever patriotic duty made
ao easy? And so clear?
America’s Own Food— Corn 1 It is the true American
food. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section of our epuntry it
has blong een the staff o f life. How well the South
fought on i t history tells. Now it cAd help America
win a world war.
Learn Semething— Corn! It isn’t one food. It’s a
dozen. It’s a cereal. It’s a vegetable. It’s a bread.
It’s a dessert It’s nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It’s good to eat; how good you don’t
know until you’ve had corn-bread properly cooked.
* Best of all, It’s plentiful and it’s patriotic.
Cora’ s Infinite Variety— How much do you know about
corn? About how good it Ja? About the many
delicious ways o f cooking ft? And what you miss
by not knowing more about ft? Here are a few
o f its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or break
fast. Here are some suggestions)
