South Carolina to lay down for aj.e themselves certain definite and spe^ cific days on which we will save , flour, meat, sugar, and fats. ar" Our National Government has rth come to us asking for the performance of a specific duty. We are asked to save meat, flour, sugar, J and fats. y I urge our people to adopt the V following program: V To use no beef, pork, or mutton > ^ on Tuesdays. On a basis of 7 ounces per person, this will save about ma 700,000 pounds of beef, pork and ' en* mutton per week, or save enough ind meat to feed all of the South Oarolinn cnlHiprs in t.Vie armv. To use no wheat on Wednesdays. ,, This will save about two million ' the i dollars a year, and would supply J 2n* our South Carolina soldiers in the I ^ pie army. America uses now one hun- ! ew dred million barrels of flour. This ' ^ must be cut down to seventy-five : n(j million barrels. ' To use no hog meat on Thursdays. * 0f This will save about 700,000 ponnds 1 as^ or enough bacon and ham to feed < ng our South Carolina soldiers in the 1 ala army- _ . ( ng| To use no cake or sweet desserts * on at least two days in each week. ? ier We can use poultry, fish? and vegay etables. We can have them in abun- 1 )n dance if we will raise them. t in_ We should save fats by broiling, J er boiling, and baking instead of fry- t ng ing. No family is asked to stint, s ay but to save and avoid extravagance I and waste. Elaborate meals should I or not be permitted. v Use no beef, pork, or mutton on Tuesdays, no wheat on Wednes-j Ly days, and no hog meat on Thurs-j iia dfly3 in! The saving of food is a warj D. I measure. If our army is to be fed we must; n- meet the very reasonable demands1 y. of the Food Administration, ss The sacrifice asked at our tables is a small one compared to the price a, our soldiers stand ready to pay in n-1 blood. Remember the women and! I i children of France have not tasted! i I JL UUOUU^y -LA> "V^ Sale 'esses and n Coats last 7 days end This Sale iSSES >r $22.50 or $16.75 )r $11.75 lTERS )r $4.25 >r $3.25 'l en-day Sale NY - 'j ville, S.

President Wilson and Mr. Hoover urge these requests upon our people as voluntary acts. I am confident that South Carolinians, redblooded, and patriotic, realizing that American freedom, liberty, jus- ( tice, and honor are at stake, will respond to this call and will do our part to win the. war.
