Driving It Home
Let us drive home to you
the fact that no washwo-
man can wash clothes in
as sanitary a manner as
that in which the work is
done at’our laundry.
We use much more water,
change the water many
more times, use purer and
more costly soap, and keep
all the clothes in constant
motion during the entire
process.
It is simply a matter of having
proper facilities.

The patriotic Pennsylvanian
loin hands with Mr. Hoover
Mr. Heinz ip their effort to
jugar, in order that our allies
n Europe may be supplied with
that very necessary article of diet.
After all, the task set for the con-
sumer is not a heavy one. “Cut your
use of sugar about one-quarter,” said
Howard Heinz, U. S. Food Adminis-
trator for Pennsylvania, to an audi-
ence of Philadelphia housewives a
few days ago. Surely not an onerous
requirement.
To the manufacturer of certain
products containing sugar the Food
Administration says:
“Limit your use of sugar to 8v per
cent of normal,” and even to this rule
there are exceptions in favor of man-
ufacturers who produce such neces-
os fruit and
saries vegetable pre-
serves, catsup, chili sauce, canned
milk, jams, jellies, ice cream, médi-
cines, apple butter, honey, and meat
preparations in which sugar is used
for preservation.
For the housewife who desires to
lay away preserved or canned food
supplies against the future, special
dispensations have been made. A
simple system of sugar certificates
enable her to obtain sugar in 25-pound
lots’ from her regular groeer for such
purposes, as well as the usual supply
for current table and cookery use, in
lots of 2 to 5 pounds at a purchase
for residents of towns and cities and
in 5 to 10 pound’ lots for country
dwellers. To obtain these small cur-
rent supplies no certificate is requir-
ed.
There is plenty of sugar in Cuba
and Hawaii, but enough ships to trans-
port it ‘all cannot be had, but your
Uncle Sam has arranged to give the
American public 80 per cent of the us-
ual amount and that’s enough. Just
“do your bit” in this sugar matter—
the little bit the government asks of
you—and the problem will be solved.
Save a teaspoonful here and a table-
spoonful there, and help to whip the
Hun.
USE A LITTLE LESS
MEAT IN YOUR DIET
Reasonable Reduction of Gun-
sumption Necessary to Aid
in Stuppiying Cur Allies.
‘While the Englishman has been lim-
ited to two pounds per week of any
kind of meat, the dweller in the good
old Keystone State has been permit-
ted for the last two months to “eat
his head off” if he felt like it. Now
peor old John Bull must pull his belt
a little tighter still, for his weekly
ration has been cut to less than a
pound a week of such flesh as beef
pnd other “butchers’ meat,” and 2a
small additional quantity of bacon,
fowl, rabbit, venison or horseflesh.
Pretty tough for John; for you will
remember that he has always been a
heavy meat eater, and the “roast beef
of old England” is famous around the
world. .
But John Bull is at war and we are
fichting with him, shoulder to shoul-
der. In the matter of food, we are
better off than he; it is our good for-
tune, not our right, in this world cri-
sis. We would have no real cause to
complain if we were compelled to take
pot-luck with hin. How much less
cause. therefore, for any American to
quibble or whine when the Food Ad-
ministration asks him to cut down his
consumption of meat a little—just rea-
sonably—to meet the demand for
shinment abroad to hungry John, who
right now has mighty little of his fa-
vorite food and who, as our ally in
arms and messmate, is entitled to this
slight consideration? .
Meat once a day is enough for most
of us. Smaller portions and less
“heavy feeding” would make most
men and women healthier, wealthier |
and happier. In this country right
now the supplies of othef food than
wheat, meat and sugar are greater
‘han ever before in history. Utilize
‘his condition of abundance to aid our
Allies and save the world from the
domination of the Hun.
FOOD CONTROL
RESTRICTIONS 8
One thing that people are be-
ginning to recognize is that the
Food Administration will be just
as ready to raise the restrictions
upon the consumption of food
when conditions warrant as it
was vigorous in applying them.
The Food Administration is a
war agency. It is not an agency
for carrecting the habits of the
Av.erican people, or for reform-
ing American economic practices.
It is co-operating with the Amer-
ican people to help them to win
the war.—AMERICAN GROCER.
<->
Battles in Kitchens.
The most momentous battles of the
“Great War” will be fought and won
n American kitchens. The American
woinan has in her keeping the desti-
nies of the world and will fight the
decisive conflict for a free earth. In
her own kitchen with no other uni-
‘orm than the litchen apron and sur-
rounded by her little ones she will
*=g over the top’ to victory.
Barberry is a Hun—Kill It. -
The tall barberry is an enemy of the
United States, because it is an enemy
of wheat. Wheat rust is spread with
ihe pellen from the barberry flower.
Dig out the barberry by the roots be-
fore it has time to bloom.
This is one way to fight the Hun.

WOMEN'S RESERVES
CALLED TG COLORS
In Garden and Kifchen They
Must Back Up the Fighters :
in the First Line,
In this great crisis of the world's
history it is necessary that women live
greatly. At the battle front they
have performed prodigies of valor and
have been decorated with the Cross of
War for heroism under fire. The
American woman, too, would like to
drive an ambulance and bring out the
wounded under shel fire; but the
work behind the lines is even more
impostant. It is not the single act
of heroism that will. win the fight, but
the steady sticking to the job.
It is not a new ‘ask to which the
woman is called, but the age-old task
of feeding the family. Like the tri-
hal women of old, we have sent forth
our men and children to war, and w2
must take up the great first task of
fending for the family. But “unlike
that tribal woman, whose horizon wus
| bounded by the tribal hunting ground,
{eur horizon is the world. Our family
that must be fed is made up of the
great nations whose armies united un-
der a single leader are facing the
(enemy. For those women who have
eyes to see this is the coming back
into a lost Kingdom.
This year’s campaign is a struggle
of reserve against reserve; America
is the last reserve; in overwhelming
numbers our forces are being moved
to the front; and behind the lines the
women are asked to bring up their last
reserves of energy and intelligence in
the practical carrying out of food
orders.
| The food situation must steadily de-
generate as long as the war lasts. It
is therefore of prime importance to
add every item to the total production.
No woman with a foot of growing
space at her disposal! can afford to be
merely a destroyer of rations, a de-
pendent on the food supplies of a
starving world. The Allied nations
look to America for food. One object
of the Food Administration is to
bring as much food as possible under
| control and distribute these supplies
where they are most needed.
America is today the careful guar-
dian of the needs of the world. As
the Food Administration anxiously
counts the dwindling bushels of wheat,
it asks of every woman. “To what
extent can you make your home inde-
pendent of this common store?”
How many potatoes and how many
beans will you need? How many jars
of tomatoes and how many of peach-
es? Sit down with pencil and paper
and make a definite plan, remember-
ing that every woman’s real war work
| is to make the home pantry as inde-
| pendent as possible of the world pan-
try. Take stock of what you used
during the winter and of what you
have left on hand. Make an estimate
of your grocery orders for the past
| winter and plan this year to reduce
| these to a minimum by substituting
| your own products. For instance, for
| sugar, substitute sorghum syrup and
[honey if they are available: for can-
dy, home-made crystallized fruits and
| fruit pastes; for raisins, dried cher-
for tropical fruits, native fruits:
| for Brazil nuts, walnuts and hickory
[nuts ; for canned meats, home canned
| meats; for shipped breadstuffs, neigh-
| borhood meals and flours.
To sum it all up—stop eating freight.
| Transportation is the greatest prob-
{lem of the war and shipping space the
most precious thing in all the world.
Above all, don’t eat from the pantry
| of the hungry Allies. With a little
| planning and much hard work you can
fill. your pantry with home-grown
foods.
