Miscellany Feed the Allies by Saving Pound of Flour a Week. The United Slates food administration Issues the following: Your government asks you to use one pound less or' v.-heat flour a week: These I are tho reasons: j The wheat crop of our allies is short. Our allies look to us to save them from a wheat fa mine. They must have 220,-(ma.nnu 220,-(ma.nnu bushels from the United States. Tf famine conies, they can't, fight. Then we would have to carry on the war alone. We have only S$,00n.oio hushels of whfRt more than we use each ypar. This Te can send them, hut it isn't sufficient. We can't send them cornmeal. for it doesn't keep in shipping. We can't .send them corn, for they haven't the necessary nulis to grind it. Where must these t"2.-(jnnjwio t"2.-(jnnjwio other hushels of wheat rnme from? Prom our .savings from you! T lie rp are Kat0aa.fteu nf us, using an average of five pounds of wheat flour a week per person. ! If -yon, by the hundred million, use! only four pounds a week on1 pound less we can ship those l.T2.''fiO,00n bushels of I wheat. And your pound is easily paced:! Ky having one wheatless mepl a day more, if you can en. litis rye bread, corn i bread, barley brand, and other kinds, in- stead of wheat bread, and by serving less ' pie and cake; I By ordering your bread a day in ad- j vance; then the baker will not bake too; much, and have it go stale; j By cutting the loaf on the table as each j slice is needed; then none will go stale: By making into puddings or toasting ! every crust or piece that does go stale. You are the guard over the soldier's ration; he will attend to the enemy.
