The thought uppermost in ( minds now is food conservation a the Hoover food pledge card. Ci 8ervation in the home may be I decisive factor in this war. As 90 per cent, of the ultim food consumption of the country in the hands of the women, it ie ting that we make the first move this food campaign. Many people have the idea we ? to be asked to starve ourselves, 1 the motto of the food administ tion is, "eat plenty, wisely, a without waste." We know that many women not know food values. On the stricted diets many v/ill find ni essary, there will be a great ma of under nourished people, especi ly children. By signing the food pledge ca the women will keep in touch w: the food administrator, who n from time time issue suggestions to substitutes to use, etc. Plis w< derful experience in food distril tion- in Belgium has taught h much. We may not always feel that it necessary for us to follow him, b we must remember that we are t der military orders now and mi follow our commander-in-chief t President. He has asked to ht in this way and it is our duty follow as does the soldier the ord of his commanding officer even tl it does not correspond with his pi sonal opinions. * The first card of directions h been issued. Following are extrae from it: "Save th e Wheat.''-One whei less meal a day. Use corn, oatme? rye or barley bread, and non-whe breakfast foods. Order bread : hours in advance so your baker w not bake beyond his needs. C the loaf on the table and only required. Use stale bread for coo ing, toast etc. Eat less cake ai pastry. Our wheat harvest is far belo normal, if each person week saves one pound of wheat flou that means 150,000,000 more bus els for the allies to mix in the bread. This will help them to sai Democracy. "Save the Meat."-Beef, mutto or pork not more than once dail; Use freely vegetables and fish. i the meat meal, serve smaller po tions, and stews instead of steak; Make made dishes of all left over Do this and there will be me? enough for every one at a reasoni able Drice. We are to-day killing the dair cows and female calves as the resa of high prices. Therefore eat !es! and eat no young meat. If we sav an ounce of meat each day per pe son, we will have additional suj ply equal to 2,200,000 cattle. Many of us do not know the valu of vegetables in the diet. They cor tain material for building the bones for making firm muscles, and pul ting red corpuscles in the blooci and material that helps the diges tion of food. We know that th woody fiber of vegetables acts as cleanser of the body. And so if w give up meat and substitute mor vegetables, we will find ourselve healthier for it. "Save the Milk"-The childrei must have milk. Use every drop Use buttermilk and sour milk fo cooking and making cottage cheese Use less cream." "Save the Fats."-We are thi worlds great fat wasters. F?t i food. Butter is essential for tin growth and health of children. Usi butter on the table as usual, but no for cooking. Other fats are as good Reduce use of fried foods. Soap contains fats. Do not waste it. Mak< your own washing soap at home ou of the saved fats. Use one-third ounce less per daj of animal fat and 375,000 tons wil be saved yearly. "Save the Sugar"-Sugar ii scarce. We use to-day three time! as much per person as our allies So there may be enough for all ai reasonable price. Use less cand^ and sweet drinks. Do not stint su gar in putting up fruit and jams They will save butter. If every one in America saves one ounce of sugar daily, it means 1,100,000 tons for the year. "Save the Fuel"-Coal comes from a distance and our railwayg are over-burdened hauling war ma terial. Help relieve them by burn ing fewer fires. Use wood when you can get it. It would be possible for many people to close rooms in their houses this fall and winter to save fuel. "Use the Perishable Foods." Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and improve your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can or dry all surplus garden pro ducts. This is one of the most impor tant suggestions made, as we should use this summer, the foods which cannot be stored. "Use Local Supplies-Patronize your local producer. Distance means money. Buy perishable food from the neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation." The Report of the Treasurer of The Johnston High School for the Year 1916-17.
