The goodness of Penina reaches out to every land and to all people.

THE AIMS By willing' service of a fre people to do theee things: To feed the Allies that they may continue to fight. To f9e1 the n3ey In r.el?i'Jm and ether la.a -Jt tacy r..E.y ccr.tinue to live. To fed our own soldiers overseas thai they may wajt .ictr.lnjr. To keep pricea steady and the flow of distribution even that the poor at home, may be nourished r.cr feel the pinch of hunger. THE METHOD A a military necessity. Americans eat potatoes instead of wheat, dip carefully into the sugar bowl, make their clothes list longer, save their Income above bare need for government funds, set their clocks an hour earlier, cultivate the home

garden, preserve fruits against the I

winter, calculate their household 1 provision, regulate their expenditures of money and food and energy. Allied tttratery shapes the food conservation campaign. j Military urgency gives force to

every food regulation. AM needs bend to army requirement.?. Moving the army, equipping the army, supplying the army, sustaining the army the army's needs always come first. Food. iron, wool, leather our labor, our strength, our hopes, our prayers the army has first claim on all. Veasel room limits the number of men we can send; cargo space limits the food and equipment we can give them, the munitions we can put in their handa. War dictates all exports and import. War governs our ehipmentu of wheat and meat, our consumption of sugar, our allowance of coffee. War needs rule our eating and going without. War needs fix what we shall wear, what we shall spend, what we shall save. War needs direct our llvinx to the last detail. Carrying capacity sets the margins for using or giving up.

EUROPE'S NEEDS In falr.tir; r:clrr;um. 1.500,000 stand daily In Kne for a morsel of bread end a sup of soup. In France, th? bread ration, which is half the.r li lr.g, is cut down one-third. Er.gl.ind has cut down sugar one half; France and Italy ailow one pound a month for each person. All European countries are eating: war bread mixed with all the substitutes it will stand. Meat, in all countries Is strictly rationed U3Tial!y aho.it on-j pound a week for each person. Miiltitudes some estimate 4.000.000 in Kurope have dieri for want of food since war began. All Allied Europe depends on food from America.

America Is giv!r.g up wheat that war needs may be met every grain the ships can carry is needed to hold iniact the armies of France ;ind England and Italy and to save Belgium from starving. America la sending beef and poric to the limit of shipping capacity to sustain the armies and the allies. America ts denying herself coffee, doing without tropical fruits and oriental luxuries to release shipping for war. Americans ar shaping the!r traffic: to supply the nation's needs, to maintain the Ftrenfrth of millions without waste, to provision the community at the least cost. Nations at war have been learning and doln? these thlnsrs through three terrible years. America clso is learning and doing.
