SOME REASONS WHY
WHEAT MUST BE SAVED
“A Man Cannot Think. Work or Fight
When He Is Hungry”—We Must
Feed Our Soldiers.
“We have the preservation of the
world on our hands. Every single
living human being in this republic,
from ocean to ocean, should make it
his or her special purpose to save
food.”
These are the words of E. F. Cullen,
personal representative of Herbert C.
Hoover, in a recent address.
"Men will resist any power but the
power of starvation." said Mr. Cullen.
"Hunger in the final analysis, I b the
only force that can weaken a nation
and demoralize an army. Food is
strength, and without a perpetual sup­
ply of strength, the world can stand
in danger of tottering. weakening and
falling into utter chaos. A man can­
not think, work or fight if he is hun­
gry
"The allies today are practically
wholly dependent upon the United
States for food. Upon this nation
rests the responsibility of preserving
the world from Prussianism. This is
the task of the people of this nation—
to produce and save food enough to
keep a steady stream of essential sup­
plies moving towards the front so
long as it shall be necessary to wage
this war. If at any time we fail in
this, we must inevitably go down, with
the allies, to defeat. This is no ex­
aggeration, but a serious tact. It is
the purpose of the United States Food
Administration to bring the realiza­
tion of this fact home to every Ameri­
can man. woman and child, and to en
list the individual aid of our hundred
million people in producing and sav­
ing food. The Food Administration
is not asking you to eat less; it only
urges that you substitute one nutri­
tious food for another equally nutri­
tious food, thus saving the vital sta­
ples needed by our armies and the
armies and peoples of the allies. We
must, during the next three months,
save wheat especially. Our surplus
has already been shipped abroad, and
a hundred million bushels more are
needed. When you eat a slice of bread
less, omit the crackers with your soup,
or otherwise conserve on wheat prod­
ucts, you are contributing towards the
hundred million bushels needed over
there by our fighting man and the
exhausted people of Belgium. France
and England who have for more than
three years been bearing the brunt of
this war, which is our war. Keep this
in mind, and bring it before the minds
of your thoughtless friends and neigh­
bors.”

Ilubhy—What old days, Susan?

“Were you fighting with that boy

“No, mother.” replied Willie Wiggs.
“We were not fighting. I found it nec­

Indiscreet as to put up a show of re­

HIS IDEA
One ounce less of meat each day
for everyone means a saving of 4,-
400,000 meat animals a year. Save
your ounce. The sacrifice is small,
but the result for your country is
large.
1,186.000 tons of sugar will be saved
the first year if each of us usee one
ounce less each day. This will keep
sugar plentiful and cheap.

If you run your household on three
pounds of sugar a month per person,
when fall comes the grocer won’t have
to hang up the sign "No Sugar.”
The second helplug Is getting to be
bad form.
There’s lots of money to go round,
but bacon, beef and wheat can’t make

Waste and want are twin sisters
and neither beautiful.
Potatoes for Patriotism.
By eating potatoes instead of wheat
the people of the United States can
help win the war
We have not
enough wheat for the Allies and our­
selves. We have an abundance of po­
tatoes. Wheat flour Is a concentrated
food and therefore good for shipping;
potatoes are bulky and are conse­
quently not suited for limited shipping
apace, nor are the Allies so short of
potatoes as of wheat. Next to cereals,
potatoes have been In thia country
the mainstay of starchy food, which
supplies energy.
The more potatoes we eat, the less
wheat we need A mediumsized po­
tato, weighing about
ounces, sup­
plies about as much starch as two
small slices of wheat bread one half
inch thick. In other respects also,
the potato measures up wall with
wheat bread and even has the advant­
age over it in supplying certain salts
which the body needs to counteract
the acidity resulting from the use of
such foods as cereals, meat and eggs.

wife can prepare potatoes in many
