A little bit of saving in food means a tremendous ag- gregate total, when 100,000,000 people are doing the sav- ing. One wheatless meal a day would not mean hardship ; there are always corn and other products to be used. Yet one wheatless meal a day in every family would mean a saving of 90,000,000 bushels of wheat, which totals 5,400,- 000,000 lbs. Two meatless days a week would mean a sav- ing of 2,200,000 lbs. of meat per annum. One teaspoonful of sugar per person saved each day would insure a supply ample to take care of our soldiers and our Allies. These quantities mean but a small individual sacrifice, but when multiplied by our vast population they will immeasur- ably aid and encourage the men who are giving their lives to the noble cause of humanity on which our nation has embarked.
