SOLDIER WOMAN TELLS OF HER PART IN BATTLE Writes on Her Co-operation With U. S. Food Ad ministration Washington, D. C. Dearest Edy:—A neighbor f mine told me this morning that she didn't see any use signing the Food Pledge now because she didn't do it when the Food Administration first pub lished the card in the newspapers a month or so ago. Did you ever hear of such an ab surd excuse? Suppose some soldier would do cline to fight because he wasn't In the first draft! There would be Just about as much sense in it! Of course the right time for every woman to have signed the Food Pledge was when the Food Adminis tration first asked it. for the request was not made until the need was vital. Bvit that does not affect ITio fact that the need grows every day. It will never be too late to co-operate with the Food Administration as long as the burden of feeding the world rests upon America. That's Koing to be not only the length of this war, but through the years of reconstruc tion after the war. Unless every housekeeper does her part, the world is going to actually suffer for food. It seems to me there is quite enough suffering now without adding tlie hor rors of starvation. To prevent such a thing - we have got to study the "home card" suggestions and follow them as closely as possible. Every body ought to know that they were not made lightly. They are all based on the accurate calculations made by fcod experts of tho world's food needs. Out of the long list of food prod ucts we use daily it does not seem much of a hardship to economize in five. Do you think so, Edy dear? Specially since we must have these five things to feed our soldiers In France; to feed the soldiers of our allies; to insure the liberty of the world. The new 1 home card" tells the whole story in its first paragraph, which Buys: "Our problem is to feed our allies this winter by sending thent as much food os we can of the most concen trated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and sugar." The Food Administration makes it clear at one" that this is to be accomplished not by hoarding or by skimping but by substituting food products that cannot be sent to the soldiers In the trenches for those that can be sent. We are not asked to limit ourselves in any way that will affect health. Neither are we asked to greatly change our food habits. "Our solution is to eat less of these (wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and sugar) and more of other foods ot which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods." The schedule for doing this brings no hardship to any one. To begin ■with the wheat; We must send more wheat to our allies because "England, France, Italy and Belgium taken to gfther import, in peace time, forty per cent of their breadstuff.-*. But now with their reduction In harvest they must import sixty per cent. We must increase our normal export sur plus of 55.000.000 bushels to 220,000,- 000 bushels." The Food Administra tion goes on to remind us that it can be done in but one way,—by econo mizing and substituting. The plan for this is to have one wheatless meal a day; to use corn, oat;--, rye, barley or mixed cereal rolls, muffins and bread in place of white bread, certainly'for one meal and, if possible, for two. We are asked to eat less pastry. In the case of or dering white bread from the baker, it us urged that we do so a day in advance that he may not bake beyond his needs. We are told to cut the loaf on the table and only as re quired, and to use all stale bread for toast and cooking. If everybody in the United States uses Just one pound less of wheat flour per week the Food Administra tion assures us that there will be no difficulty in meeting the wheat need of our ullies. Well, dear girl, I can do "my bit" in the wheat conservation plan with out much trouble to myself, and with Certainly no inconvenience to my family. To-morrow I'll write you more of the new "home card." In case you do not understand my use of the word "new" let me tell you that the new card differs in no essential from tlie original card which was distributed by the Food Administration In the early summer. The need was at that time presented in "Six Saves." Some women construed "save" to mean hoarding—which was not. and is not. tiio idea at all. The new "home card" tells just what the American woman Is asked to do to help win this war, end tells it so clearly and helpfully that no one ran fail to see that the ■whole program is merely one of sub stitution, without any necessity to eklmp or to hoard. In every instance the substitution asked is simple, and makes no hard ship,—a mighty good thing for every woman to know, war or no war! to Will and the babies, from Your devoted sister, (Signed) FRANCES. 1 Catarrhal Deafness £ | May Be Overcome • * C If you have Catarrhal Deaf- 2 J ness or head noises go to your # S druggist and get 1 ounce of < J Parniint (double strength>. and S 4 add to it '/4 pint of hot water i 2 and 4 ounces of granulated i f sugar.
