TL SAVE WHEAT AND 7.1 EAT; HOW IT CAN BE DONE COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 1, 1917 * j.To The Women of the Cou wil of Defense: Mrs. F. Louise Mayes, of flveenville, Chairman of the South Carolina Woman's Council of Defense, has seat out the following instructions for your information. The I'Vxxl A<1n inislr.uion will he k'?uI if you will carry these out in your community. "Now that the conser\ai?on pledges have been made by tin1 women of our State, it is imperative to foilow with suggestion that may prove helpful to the housewives in their attempts to keep the pledge, and still provide tempting and nourishing menus for their families. if we take from a child a cherished toy we disturb the equilibrium of i'.s happiness until it is restored by newer or more attractive playthings. Men and women are but children of a larger growth, and we all know from personal experience that unt'l the necessity is urgent our husbands, brothers and sons do not fancy giv u|> inni 11 *' i wiM" nil, runs iUHI roast. Those wiser than we, with a world-wide vision of our own and our Allies' needs, have prescribed a meatless and wheatless day, each week. Some of us know that in families, not vitally connected, with the army by the tie of brother, husband or son, that there is some resentment felt toward this disturbance of their time honored menus. " 'Tis true, 'tis pity; 'tis pity 'tis true," but nevertheless, we must face the facts that exist, not ideals, that should prevail. It is with the hope then of assisting the housewives in keeping the peace of the family, that enclose some war recipes which have been prepared to meet this need by Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn. We have tested them, and know they are tempting and nourishing. Try them for yourselves, and then if possible, get the co-operation of your County demonstrator and give demonstrations in the town and country school houses. Again may I ask the co-oneration of the South Carolina women in serving re fresh men ts at social functions, large or small. !f we would use fruit salads and crackers, with whatever beverage we prefer, there would be an immense saving of wheat and ' meats. We are accustomed to use sandwiches, to a large extent at social functions, and there is always waste connected with sandwiches. 'Tis true the creackers are wheat, but those left over are in perfect condition, which is not the case in the sandwiches. I'rge too the winter garden. It is moiv important now than it .as ;n the Spring. Now is the time to plant English peas for early use. Onions, spinach, kale, mustard and radishes can all be planted now to great advantage. Don't let's leave the hack yard empty, when we can sunnlv our I tabh's from them now, as we did in the Spring. We must keep preaching; the j;osptd of economy and thrift. Plant a larjrc l>c<| of turnip rooted radishes for your chickens for their wheatless and meatless days. You will he surprised at the eagerness with which they devour them, and the jjood results you will obtain. This su^jrestion is for those who have not the space for rye." .Jok SPARKS. Executive Secretary. J The mcnucs referred to which provide meals without wheat and meat ^ will he published next week. \ SAVE SOWS Mr. VY. J. Tiller is in reciept of a letter from .Mr. \V. W. I.onj; in which he says that the campaign to sow wheat has home (rood results and a lar re acreage has been seeded. He now emphasizes the importance of all the farmers saving all the hot;s they can for breeding purpf a-s.
