Without the fooi which America■eat overseas during the past twelven.ontna, the Allied cause would havebeen imperilled, If not lost.

s too much time putting himselfo-i v.:e back for saving Democracy, heis go.ag to get a new Home Card from•Ue Fcod Administration showing himwhy he must save and ship fifty percent, more food this year in orderto keep Democracy sate. The mainrca on is that there are already twom.i..on Sammies over in France—anat my still growing by hundreds ofthousands and for reasons whichheed hardly be explained to the peopleot .Maryland, the Food Administrationis going to send them all the food theynie.i owen if we at home have to eatwisely instead of wastefully in orderto do so.

A lotof that is still In the corn cribs, a lotstill In the pastures and the hay stacks.It has to be eaten by animals before Ittprns into the kind of food our armiesneed, our Allies ask, and we ourselveswant. The meat must be so handledthat although a million tons is shippedmore than last year, the herds willcontinue as large as ever. For need-less to say the U. S.
