What You ( an Do To Help Win This War
??I K PIP'BLKM Is to feed our Allies this winter by Mending
them hs inu* h food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive
value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef,
P >rk. dairy products and sugar.
? ?i It S' 'l.l'TH ?N I? to eat less of thOM gild more >f other fOOdl
of which we have an ahund ?nee, and to wn. to |sssj of all foods.

As to the white bread, If you buy from a baker, order it a day
In >?; th?n h? will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf
on the table and only as required. Use stale bread for toast and
cooking.
\l DAT. Use more poultry, rabbits, and especially fish and sea
fo. d ii (ine of beef, muttonand pork. Do not use either heef,
muiton or pork more than once dally, and then nerve smaller por?

more freely. 1'ne beans; they have nearly the same food value as
meat.
MILK?Use all of tho milk, waste no part of It. The children
mo t h tve whole milk; therefore, use less- cream. There is a great
waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk. Sour milk can
ssjed in rooking and to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk
and cheese freely.
r VTfl (BUTTER, UHD, ETC.) Dairy butter has food values
vital to 'hihlren. Therefore use it on tho table as usual, especial?

United States Food Administration
What You Are Asked lo Do For Your Country
The men of the Allied Nations are fighting;; they mo nut on the
farms. The production of l?-o?l by these countries has therefore
b en greatly reduced. Even before the war it was much less than
the amount consumed. The difference came from America an I a
few other countries. Now this? difference is greater than ever and
at the same time, but little food can be brought from the outside
except from America.
Therefore, our Allies depend on America for food as they have
never depended before, and they ask us for it with a
right which they have never had 1 cfore. Tor today they are our
companions In the great war for democracy and liberty. They are
doing the fighting, the suffering, and dying?in our war.
why Wi: MUST SEND MORE WHEAT.?England. Franc*-,
Italy and Belgium, taken together, import in peace time 40 per
cent of their breadstuffs. But now, with their reduction in harvest,
they must import 00 per cent. We must increase our normal ex?
po, t surplus of SS,000,000- bushels to 22 \000,000 bushels. It can
be done but In one way: by economizing; and substituting. The
people of the Allies can not substitute corn alone for bread a*; we
can. They are using other cereals added to wheat Hour to make
war bread, and can thus use up to 2't per cent, of corn for wheat.
We have.plenty of corn to .send them, nit, except In Italy, WhOSS
people normally use it, our Allies have few corn mill3, and corn
meal is not durable enough to be shippf d by us in targe quantities.
Moreover, the Allied peoples do not make their bread at home; it Is
all made in bakeries, and corn bread cannot be distributed from
bakeries. There is but one way: we must reduce our us-e for
wheat. We use now an average of five pounds of wheat per per?
son per week. The whole problem can be met if we will substi?
tute one pound of corn or other cereal flour for one pound of
wheat flour weekly per person; that is, if we reduce our consump?
tion of wheat flour from five pounds a week to four pounds a
week.
WHY WE MUST SEND MORE MEAT.?The food animals of
the Allies have decreased by :>o,000,000 head since the war began;
thus the source of their meat production is decreasing. At the
same time, the needs of their soldiers at 1 war workers have in?
creased the necessary meat consumption Our meat exports to our
Allies are now already almost three times what they were before
the war. The needs of the Allies will steadily increase. bOCagM
their ?>wn production of food animals w 11 steadily decrease be
caust <?f lack of feed for them. If we will save one ounce of meat
per person per day we can send our AU es what they need.
why WE mi"ST send butter AND MILK.?The decreasing
lo r ds and the lack of fodder mean a steady falling off in the dairy
products of our Allies. They have been asking for (arger tnd
larger exports from us. East year we Rent them three times as
much butter and almost ten times as much condense,i milk as we
USCd to sind them before tho war. Yet we must not only (COOP
up to this level, but do still better.
\VII\ WE MUST SEND BUOAR.?Before the war France, Rely
ami Belgium produced as much sugar as they used, while Rngll ml
drew most of its supply from what are now enemy countries.
Prance and Italy are producing less than they need, while Rngland
is cut off from the source of 7.r? per ce it. of her Usual import:?.
These three Allied countries must now draw 2,00#,ttt pounds
more of sugar than they did before the war from the same sources
from Which we draw our supplies. We must divide with them. Ws
can do it by economizing. The u.uiai American consumption per
person Is just double that of France.
LJET i s REMEMBER.?Let us remember thai every Hag that
dies opposite the German Isby proxy th< American nag, and thai
the armies fighting in our defense undei these iia?:s cannot be
maintained through this winter unless there is food enough for
them and their women and children at home. There can only be
food enough it America provides it. Am America can only pro?
vide it by the personal service and patriotic cooperation of all of
us.
The small dady service in substitution ?an be done by all; the
saving In waste by the ma jority, ami the lessening of food consumed
by many. This individual dally service in 20,000,0041 kitchens and
on 20,000,000 tables multiplied by 100,000,000, which is the sum
of all or us. will make the total quantity which is the solution of
the problem.
