MOVER CARDS WILL PREVENT WASTE OF FOOD N Survey Precludes Issuing Cards and Limiting Food Consumption.

Because of prodigious waste both la food consumed and thrown away, It became necessary for foreign gov. ernments engaged In war to establish very strtngest regulations for the distribution of foodstuffs. Bread cards were issued and limited rations of 'sugar, meats and other staples enforced. These 6teps were as much for the security of the civil population as for the effectiveness of the army. It is to prevent the necessity of these extreme measures that the United States government agents are asking everyone to practice economy, avoid waste and help by acting on the suggestions that are coming from Washington and will be followed by more explicit suggestions from Mr. Herbert C. Hoover, who has become national food administrator since congress finally has enacted the long delayed legislation. In the meantime until the more explicit directions are promulgated, everybody and more especially the housewives are being asked to enroll by signing the Hoover cards and get themselves in readiness to do what Mr. Hoover knows must be done to rrevent conditions developing1 here

such as will call for public rationing,

end the issuance of bread cards. Food Survey Needed The government must maintain a complete survey of the food in the country in order to regulate prices and distribution. That is the reason why Mr. Hoover Is asking that the pledge cards for canning and preserving be signed without delay. It is desired to stimulate conservation as much as possible, and the women of every household are Urged to increase to their maximum, the amount of food preserved, so that the supply from all sources, next winter, will not run short. It will be possible for Mr. Hoover, after the pledge cards have been filed, to ascertain Jiist how much food must b,e Bhipped into any given point in the country, in order that there be no suffering among the people. m , . Complete Census . The service cards offered for every Indiana woman 13 to complete the census figures by showing Just what experience every woman has had, that might be valuable should it become necessary to replace men In business, professional life Or in industry, in order that the war may be prosecuted with all vigor. v No obligation Is Implied in the sipming of the cards and no woman will be forced Into any activity except that for which Bhe may be qualified and willing. But Uncle Sam wants to know who can be depended upon in a pinch, and what they can do. He doesn't expect to have to call on them all, but if he needs them well, he'll know where to find them, even in the ranks of the women.
