CARRY THE MESSAGE

Do* Your Bit in War and Talk About lt.< . .. , - ... Save Wheat, Meat, Fats and 4 Sugar, and Ask Others If They Are Doing Same. Washington.—Fight the war with food —and talk about it! Do not hide your light under a bushel If you are helping win the w’ar against Germany by following the teacifl nits of the United States food administration. Practice the doctrine of saving the wheat, rho meat, thg fats and the sugar and ask others if they are doing the same. Tell them what you are doing and how. Tell it in detail, by casual reference, humorously, seriously, intimately, or in public addresses. Tell them directly or by insinuation, as may be your method, that you think those who are not fighting through the kitchen are slackers.

, Bring home to everyone within the sound of your voice the, fact that we are as deeply involved in war as any other nation and that we must furnish food for our armies and our allies. Tell them of the hungry children in Europe who are growing daily more tifin and bloodless, losing all their childish gayety and joy, because of lack of food, added to horror and shock. Impress on your audience, be it great or small, that if love of humanity will not make them save food, the instinct of self preservation should. WE MUST HAVE FOOD TO WIN THE WARI
