SAVE THE FOOD
Help Win the War By Cutting
Down Your Menus,
The Pennsylvania Committee of Public
Safety is waging a campaign for house
hold economy, conservation of food, and
personal consideration of others. - Penn
sylvania is to contribute its one-tenth
in the saving of wheat, meat, sugar and
fats so that the men fighting at the front
and the civil population among our allies
will have plenty to eat.
The average person is apt to say, “What
will my little saving amount to; even if
1 do cut down on my bread, whom can I
benefit?”
“It is the aggregate that counts,” point
ed out one of the officials connected with
the Federal Food Administration’s office.
“A hotel man gave us an illustration that
is right to the point: One of his guests
ordered for breakfast grape fruit, cream
of wheat, white rolls, lamb chops, four
slices of bacon and a plate of wheat cakes.
Notice the amount of white flour and
wheat in that list. Also notice the fat. >
It is safe to say that the man did pot
need all hat food.
“Any man of sedentary habits who in
these days of food conservation consumes
double the amount of food he should is
an unpatriotic glutton. Any man who
ruthlessly disregards the request of the
United States Food Administration to
save food, especially wheat, is not help- :
ing to win this war. It has been said
that fifteen per cent, of our people eat
enough to feed another ten per cent.
"It is the little share that everybody I
contributes that will make Pennsylvania’s
aggregate of saving really enormous.” j
The other day a woman visited an ac
quaintance who is connected with the,
Federal Food Administration, saying:
“I haVe been lucky enough to pick up
ten pounds of sugar after visiting several
grocers, but that is not enough. You
ought to know where sugar can be had :
and 1 really would like to get a hundred
pounds. Won’t you please help me.”
The food administration official looked
at her a moment, then replied:
“You are very lucky that you are not
living in France, or England or almost
any other European country. If you were,
the chances are that you would be locked
up and I am sorry there is not a similar
law in this country. The best advice that
I can give you is that you take eight
pounds of that sugar back to the grocers,
keeping only two pounds for yourself:
then take your chances with the rest of
your follow citizens in getting small
quantities as you need it.
“Not only are you doing yourself an 1
injury by hoarding, but you are doing '
your neighbors a harm and you are not
patriotic. Hoarding will force up prices
quicker than anything else and if every- ;
body did as you have been doing the sup
ply of food would be quickly exhausted.” |

the general misconceptions due to the

worse than useless to their countries

youths who went across the sea as he
roes; who succumbed to the evil in
fluence of communities where their
leisure hours were spent; and who,
because of veneral rottenness , will
never fire a gun and will never, many
of them, return to the home land—
which they have sadly hurt instead of
serving. “ Every man and woman in
America is concerned in this War
Camp Community Recreation Service,”
said Mr. Mulholland, “for any one of
you may have to decide, after the war,
whether your daughter shall marry a
returned soldier. What American would
hesitate to give $3 for his future son
in-law, or his own son, or for his neigh

fit to fight, fit to carry America’s best
ideals into the battle fronts of Europe,
fit to rule America after the war, fit to
give us children and grandchildren who
are clean and wholesome?"

THE GUARD DIES—BUT NEVER
SURRENDERS.
(By Sergeant E. J. Radcliffe,
109th U- S. Inf., formerly Ist Pa. Inf.)
When the tide at last had turned on that
, day at Waterloo
And the faithful Old Guard was asked
what it would do.
History records how its brave and true
commander
Answered: "The Guard Dies, but Does
Not Surrender!”
And how the gallant little band was wiped
out to a man,
Yet lives in mortal annals to inspire as
courage can.
The Old Guard first won its name in
other dark days of France,
Quelling riots on the streets of Paris with
shot and lance,
And there is no more fit battle cry for
the Guard today,
When it takes its place on the western
line far away—
To fight with a spirit that Freedom e’er
engenders—
Than the immortal: “The Guard Dies, But
Never Surrenders!”
