IS FOOD RATIONING TOO STRICT? - The citizens of this great nation enjoy one privilege not

enjoyed by the citizens of most other countries m the world. This is the. privilege to complain (without going to jail) :tbout their government, the weather, OPA regulations .my thing they want to complain about. Sometimes they have n reason; sometimes they complain out of habit. But it is iheir privilege! At the present time many , Americans are exercising their privilege to complain about the stringent rationing of food. They may think they, .have good reason for so- doing.

However, Ave believe that thev will realize the unsoundness

tf their point of view when they consider th military demands for food in Europt just one theater of our global war. , A recent cable from General Eisenhower to General Som

?rvell included the following needs for food for the European

Theater of Operations: .

' . Before the end of March 1945, 3,500,000,000 pounds of food must be shipped from the United States. It will take the equivalent of 3 10 fully loaded Liberty Ships to transport this much food. 'Examples of certain individual items required for '-this period .are; 132,000,000 lbs. of fruit juice, requiring 13 ships; 311,000.000 lbs. of milk, requiring 33 ships; .525,000,. Out) lbs. of fiesh meat,, .the equivalent of 50 ships; 304,000,000 lbs. of flour, requiring 41 ships;. 360,000,000 lbs. of canned vegetables, equivalent to 31 ships; 67,000,000 lbs. of canned .omatoes, 6 ships; 205,000,000. lbs. of canned fruit, 20 ships; iw if the war in Europe extends beyond the middle of 1945, a much larger shipping program will be. necessary. . .. A. total of 1,500,000 head of cattle or , approximately 4,000 every day throughout the . entire year, must be slaughtered to 'meet an ETO beef requirement. The requirements for dehydrated eggs are equivalent to 2,500,000,000 fresh eggs for the year, which amounts to a daily requirement of 6,500000., Butter is consumed athe rata, of several tons per meal frylhe- U. S. First Army in Germany. Sngar for coffee and cooking purposes daily amounts to thousands of pounds. . . Tli e average soldier, because of his more active life, eats over a pound of food a day more than the average civilian. A long suspected fact has been proved consumption of meat depends more on the income than on the appetite. The average yearly consumption of meat per person' from 1935 to 1939 was 125.6 pounds per person,' and there was no rationing. In 1910, with' increased incomes, consumption jumped to 111 pounds per person; in 1941, it was 141.4. Under rationing it dropped to 137.9 pounds in 19 12, then to 136.2 pounds ii 1943. When rationing regulations were relaxed, it jumped Lo 1 1S.2 pounds 'in 1911. and it is estimated that with high wartime incomes the demand would have reached 170 pounds 'iad the meat been available. No one can say just when supplies of meat, will coma 'dose to meeting the demand again,, but until they do,, each American can play a major part in the war effort by helping to make rationing work. L;iye up to the. letter and the spirit of rationing rules and request only such rations as you need.

One lady said recently that her

stomach used to be like a "gas; factory." When she ate a meal iti

seemed to turn right into gas. She was always bloated, had daily headaches and badly constipated Now, however, this lady is FREE of STOMACH GAS and says the change is due to taking ERBHELP. Her meals agree with her.

No gas or bloat. Headaches and wno

constipation are gone. ERB-HELP contains 12 Great Herbs; so don't go on suffering!
