By Herbert Hoover. U.S. Food Administrator. 



Save the Wheat. — One wheatless meal 

 a day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barley 

 bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. 

 Order bread twenty-four hours in ad- 

 vance so your baker will not bake 

 beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the 

 table and only as required. Use stale 

 bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less 

 cake and pastry. Our wheat harvest is 

 far below normal. If each person 

 weekly saves one pound of wheat flour 

 that means 150,000,000 more bushels of 

 wheat for the Allies to mix in their 

 bread. This will help them to save 

 DEMOCRACY. 



Save the Meat. — Beef, mutton or pork 

 not more than once daily. Use freely 

 vegetables and fish. At the meat meal 

 serve smaller portions, and stews in- 

 stead of steaks. Make made-dishes of 

 all left-overs. Do this and there will 

 be meat enough for everyone at a rea- 

 sonable price. We are today killing the 

 dairy cows and female calves as the 

 result of high price. Therefore, eat less 

 and eat no young meat. If we save an 

 ounce of meat each day per person, we 

 will have additional supply equal to 

 2,200,000 cattle. 



Save the Milk. — The children must 

 have milk. Use every drop. Use but- 

 termilk and sour milk for cooking and 

 making cottage cheese. Use less cream. 



Save the Fats. — We are the world's 

 greatest fat wasters. Fat is food. But- 

 ter is essential for the growth and 

 health of children. Use butter on the 

 table as usual but not in cooking. Other 

 fats are as good. Reduce use of fried 

 foods. Save daily one-third ounce ani- 

 mal fats. Soap contains fats. Do not 

 waste it. Make your own washing 

 soap at home out of the saved fats. Use 

 one-third ounce less per day of animal 

 fat and 375,000 tons will be saved 

 yearly. 



Save the Sugar. — Sugar is scarcer. 

 We use today three times as much per 

 person as our Allies. So there may be 

 enough for all at reasonable price use 

 less candy and sweet drinks. Do not 

 stint sugar in putting up fruit and jams. 

 They will save butter. If everyone in 

 America saves one ounce of sugar daily 

 it means 1,100,000 tons for the year. 



Save the Fuel. — Coal comes from a 

 distance and our railways are overbur- 

 dened hauling war material. Help 

 relieve them by burning fewer fires. 

 Use wood when you can get it. 



Use the Perishable Foods. — Fruits 

 and vegetables we have in abundance. 

 As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. 

 Double their use and improve your 

 health. Store potatoes and other roots 

 properly and they will keep. Begin 

 now to can or dry all surplus garden 

 products. 



Use Local Supplies. — Patronize your 

 local producer. Distance means money. 

 Buy perishable food from the neighbor- 

 hood nearest you and thus save trans- 

 portation. 



General Rules. — Buy less, serve 

 smaller portions. Preach the "Gospel 

 of the Clean Plate." Don't eat a fourth

 Strength 



is not only in the 

 mailed fist but in the 

 hand of industry — -the 

 hand of health. It be- 

 hooves all of us to be 

 strong and keep strong, in 

 order to carry the present 

 day burden.
