Oh, I pray that all American mothers who have little tots like me, realizing what it means for them to "just be hungry'," will think of the millions of Belgian babies who are "starving" to death, and then do as their good country requests use just one pound less of wheat flour in a whole week, so that we our mothers and hungry soldier daddies may have bread enough to keep us from an awful death by starvation we haven't much food now, and America must send us some quick if we are to live. Baby Belgium. This pathetic appeal, coupled with the fact that food is the nation's "first and most vital ammunition," is reason for every human soul in this Country to fall in line with the government's request in the conserving of foods. If each person will

Use One Pound Less of Wheat Flour a Week America can send one hundred and thirty-three million bushels more of wheat each year to the starving Allies their families and our own soldiers. This means two billion loaves of bread The pound of flour YOU spare may save a life Serve your family with an extra potato a day oatmeal and things you can make from corn, barley, rye and buckwheat they won't miss that pound of wheat flour. Put the loaf of bread and knife on the table slice as needed you'll be surprised at the saving. Society will excuse this apparent "social blunder" under these war conditions. Humanity Pleads That You Conserve Food
