Many of us have been endeavoring to perform such service by preparing or purchasing packages of food for overseas shipment. In borne cases the packing and extia freight involved adds 100 per cent to the cost. The A. R. A.-is solving this difficulty through the "Food-Draft" plan. In many impoverished sections of Europe a single ham, outside the ration system, sells for as high as $150. "Tho only hope of pre venting large sections' going into sheer anarchy lies in their again obtaining food supplies on some basis of support from America," says Mr. Hoover. The sum total of food now available in Central Europe is IN SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE PUBLIC ALIVE. Under these circumstances money becomes just so much paper so far as nutri tion is concerned. A hungry man, woman or child wants food, not money, and under Mr. Hoover's "Food-Draft" plan we have tho best means (in America) for supplying the need and getting tho maximum results with our money.
