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 saving 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 immeasurably aid and
encourage the men who are giving their lives to the noble cause of
humanity on which our nation has embarked.
