STAR—MONDAY, OCT 29, 1917. PAGE 6 Written Especially for The Star BY HERBERT HOOVER United States Food Administrator. I wish I could talk personally to every home in America about Food Pledge Week. IT IS SUCH A VITAL THING, and such a simple thing. It means 80 much to our success in the war, and it asks so little of the individual. Tas! It means, briefly, that if our 22,000,000 homes will follow the course laid down in the pledge cards and will make the few simple changes asked in our eating habits, our allies will be fed and their hearts kept high for victory. It means that if our homes do not do this, our allies will go hungry and be tempted to discouragement. While this service is a major service from our women, we are not asking them alone to bear the bur den of conservation. We are asking that the men support it and that every hotel, restaurant and factory practice it. That ounce of meat, that slice of bread, that third ‘of an ounce of fat, that ounce of sugar we ask each person to conserve each day, will weigh heavily in the Seales against the kaiser. Please think of that when syou go into your kitchen to prepare your meals It looks small; it seems triYling, I kr But so does the acorn. Yet in a basket of acorns is a mighty forest. So, also, IN OUR OUNCES OF SAVINGS IS THE GERM OF AN ALLIED VICTORY. We do not ask you to eat less, merely to eat dif- ferently. We do not ask that you cut down quanti ties, merely that you substitute different varieties. Wheat, meat, fats and sugar are the most ef- ficient foods and the most easily shipped. No one in the world has them to give but America. They can be supplied from no place but the in- Huckleberry Finn, boy adven: ORTHWEST LEAGUE OF NEWSPAPERS! turer of fiction, had nothing = on the boyhood career of B.
