PEOPLE MUST SAVE FOOD. i ? Hoover Outlints Programme of Con- 1 serration.?Every One to Assist. < Washington, Sept. 21.?Food Administrator Hoover, in a statement issued today, outlining the food conservation programme, recommended for the American people during the coming year, said the United States was prepared to ship 5,730,000 more tons of foodstuff to its armies and allies than last year and still have a margin over the amount necessary to maintain health and strength at home.' This great undertaking can not be accomplished, however, Mr. Hoover emphasized, without due regard to ^ the importance of. saving by every * person. I Even under this international food ' programme, which means further self-denial by the allies, the allied table at best, Mr. Hoover said, will be less than ours, for their people are denying themselves more in order to transport our soldiers. "We can do no less than fill the " ships they send us," he added. With no prospect, as he saw it. of a proper ending of the war before the ; summer campaign of 1919, the food f problem, the food administrator de- ; * clared, is no small part of the issue. The allied civilians and armies, the American armies, the Belgium relief and certain neutrals who are dependent upon the United States, will re- I quire 17,550,000 tons of'foodstuffs ! for the year beginning July 1. This, in round numbers, will include meats and fats, 2,600,000 tons; breadstufifs, 10,400,000 tons; sugar, 1,850,000 J tons and feed grains, mostly army , oats, 2,700,000. There will be no food rationing in tk5' lr?r>cr oc tho npfinlp IU1S kUUUUJ OU 1WU9 UM n?v rvvr.-> ^ conserve as in the past, Mr. Hoover / said, nor will it be necessary, he , hoped, to resort to wheatless and meatless days. * - Will Have Necessities. ^ "Of our imports," Mr. Hoover said, "we apparently have sufficient sugar , to maintain the present consumption and take care of the extra drain of i the allies from our markets instead of compelling them to send their ships to theFar West. We can secure in >, sailing vessels the coffee we need, if no one makes an overhrew. Of our I own products we must secure a re- , duction in consumption and waste in the two great groups of, first breadstuffs, and second, meats and fats? , f. that is, in all bread and cereals, beef, J pork, poultry, dairy and vegetable oil products. The average consumption of our people of breadstuffs amount to six pounds per week and of meats and fats to four pounds a week for each person. A reduction in consumption of less than one-half pound per week per person in each of these two great groups of foods would accomplish our purpose. We wish to emphasize, however, that we do not want curtailment in the use of milk j ^ for children. "Some of our homes by reason of j limited income can not now provide j more food than they should have to maintain health of the family. They ' ^ can not rightfully be asked to make the suggested reduction in consumption, but the great majority of our homes can do more than suggested. "We need even greater simplicity of living than last year amongst all that section of the community to fftnHctnffc aro a cpnnndflrv item v in expenditure. "We estimate that nearly 9,000,000 people eat at our public eating places ?hotels, restaurants, boarding houses clubs, dining cars, and so forth. The food consumption in these places is * larger than in the average homes. We are asking the proprietors and employers of these institutions to under* take in many particular ways a more strict programme than last year and we are confident that they will willingly do this. Rationing Not Needed. "This is not rationing?a thing we will never have if our people continue to support us as in the past. We are simply making an appeal to the intelligence in the homes and public eating places of America to work out for themselves the means and manner of * saving. "This year as well as last, I believe we can accomplish the necessary ends by voluntary action of our people. The willingness to assume individual responsibility in this matter by the vast majority is one of the greatest proofs of the character and idealism of our people, and 1 feel it can be constantly relied upon. Our simple formula for this year is to further re duce our consumption and waste of all food. We have so arranged the international food programme that ^ except for a moderate substitution of ^ ' other cereals in bread it will not, we hope, be necessary to substitute one foodstuff for another, nor to resort to wheatless and meatless days. What we need is to reduce directly our consumption of all foodstuffs, laying special emphasis on the staples. The allies are in need of all the surplus of the great staples that we can provide. "It is necessary that every family in the United States study its food. :o buy les?, return nothing to the \ iitchen and practice the gospel of the I >udget and find ways to see if it can j dean plate." fl It Helps! p!
