STOP WASTE OF FLOUR

“I appeal to the bakers of the United States 'to quit making pastry during this emergency. "“I appeal to the housewives of American to stop buying pastry of bakers who do continue to make it. And I appeal to housewives to stop making pies, cakes and cookies in their own kitchens.” This is the plea of Dr. Gurli Mellenthin, who has just started a nationwide propaganda against the use of pastry as a means of conserving flour for the needs of our allies as well as far our own use.
