"If the war goes on long enough," says Dr. Cannon, "pro-

Dehydrated Foods to the Fore 



The problem of augmenting the food supply of Europe is 

 a big problem now, and it will be a far bigger problem after 

 the war. It will tax production, and tax transportation even 

 more severely. Two of the most effective developments in 

 waging the fight for Victory today can be the most effective

The two most expensive cargoes America has shipped to
