IXDIAN'ArOLIS, Ind., July 31. "Cooks who guard the larder are true soldiers," declared Harry E. Barnard, Indiana food and drjp commissioner, today, in an appeal addressed to housewives of the state, asking their cooperation In the food conservation tampaign. "Every cook whs contrives a way to save food is doing just as patriotic a service as if she were enlisted in Red Cross work, and in her efforts to

reduce the wast of fats or to use other cereals instead of wheat flour, she is helping the Sammies in Prance quite as surely as if she were knitting socks," Barnard said. "There i3 no doubt at all as to the value of kitchen thrift. The difficulty cornea with bringing: home to the cook fcerself the vitally important part she is playinp In putting: the excellent suggestions showered upon her into practice. "But we know now that the crops our fields are prowinp must sufiiee not only for cur own needs and the heavy de--niands of the boys whom we are sending 3 000 miles to the trenches, but perhaps the most important task ahead of us is feeding the armies of our allies in the field and the civilian population in France. Belgium and England. And so every pound of food we save from wasteage is ammunition that will do its part in bringing the war quickly to an end. It does not matter where the saving: is made. The little economies of the working man's wife, who is alreauy at her wits' end to feed her family, r.nd the large savings in the household of the millionaire are both needed. Xo doubt the housewife who puis on her gingham apron and groes into the kitchen to superintend the preparation of food can do more real service than the women of wealth whose desire to help is handicapped by the very size of the retinue of servants she employs. But there is need for every form cf economy that will save an ounce of food, and every cook is draft-id to the universal service."
