Whether it were better to to take up knife and fork an<V assault a piece of bacon, defying: Hoover, or to wait for orders more precise. It was the recent bulletin calling off the meatless meal each day which upset many housewives. This re cent release also eliminated porkless day on Saturday. Plain enough, after- one understands, but a little confusing when so many different instructions have been issued from time to time. "If you are allowed to have meat everyday, then we can have bacon for breakfast, can we, and cut out meat the rest of day," inquired a number who called up for informa tion. "No" was the prompt response from the food administrator. "This is meatless Tuesday and it is to be observed just as stricUy as before. Only the other six days are included in the new instructions. "Oh, how I wish I had a figure like hers!" Have you ever slid tliis when you saw a woman whoso fig ure appealed to you? Do you know that you CAN have a good figure?
