Following Directions. , “Everyone must help if we are to win. The soldier must obey orders or there will be no army. The people must be one or there will be no nation. So that we win, all of us must follow directions. This is your war guide for use in your home. It tells you what foods we must save to provision ourselves and our allies; it tells how we can stretch our supplies so everyone will have enough without any hurt to your health of your strength. “Your government does not ask you to give up three square meals a day—nor even one. All it asks is that you eat less of the food we need to keep the armies going and eat all you want of the other things that we have in plenty. “Eat plenty—keep up your strength and your vim to help win the war. You have dedicated to the nation everything that you have; you are asked now to give up—just some habits of the kitchen and table. “America and her allies must not run out of wheat, meat of fata. If we let that happen, Germany will win the war. “We must save sugar, use every drop of milk, and we must learn to follow directions.’’ “Food is ammunition —Don’t waste it.”
