FOOD FACTS
WHO PyiiGH
-1 !
The following excerpts' are tak
»a from recent presa releases of the
United .States Food Administration:
One ounce less of meat each, day
for everyone means a hay tag of 4,
400,000 meat animals a year. Save
jrour ounce. The sacrifice is
small, hut the result for your coun
try is large.
1,185,000 tens of sugar will be
ja-ved the first year if each of us
us«e on» ounce less each. day. This
will keep sugar plentiful and cheap.
IP EACH HOMES SAVES—
One ounce of meat daily it means
465,000,000 pounds annually.
One slice of bread, 365,000,000
loaves annually,
One piece of butter, 114,000,
000 pounds annually,
One cup of milk, 912,000,000
quarts or the product of 400,
000 cows annually. Let us do
our part.
N"ow is the hour for our testing.
We muBt save, serve and sacrifice.
If we are selfish or eveu care
less. we are disloyal; we are the
enemy at home!
Let mea'.less and wheatless be kick
lees and whineless
Lest all days to come be coulless
and spineless.
When meat packers and hotel
man &oast of tons of meat saved
on Meatless Tuesday it is time for
ever)" private citizen to tally his
ipounds.
He that wasteth. today will be
hungry tomorrow.
He that wasteth in hie own house
Increases tha price of his neighbor's
dinner.
Wasted materials belong to no
one, but might belong to all.
If I could have what the nations
waste in one day, 1 would be rich
for life.
The mother of a family who does
not economize today is taking to
morrow's bread out of the mouth of
her children.
The man who laughs at you to
day for saving, may eiivy you to
morrow.
The stomach Is a greater cause of
poverty than the sword.
Go back to the simple life, be
contented with simple food, simple
pleasures, simple clothes. Work
hard, play hard. Work, eat, re
create, sleep. Do it all courageous
ly. We have a victory to win. —
(Hoover).
Over 396,000 tons would be sav
ed In America in a year if every
one used one-third of an ounce H'ss
of Fats and meats a day.
•.. Dont' waste soap which is made
of Fats.
Eat a baked potato instead of the
other slice of Dread when potatoes
ire plentiful.
Cut down on pie and cake. Use
jornmeal in making them. The
wheat flour you save will keep aj
raldler in the trenches.

"ORAZY QUILTS"
Much enthusiasm is being mani
fested in the Red Cross department
over the making of patches for
"crazy" quilts. A request, which
is eagerly being carried out, has
come in for these quilts, for the
relief of Belgians. The sophomore
and Junior girls »re endeavoring to
make an entire quilt by themselves,
recess periods and spare moments
being given to the ta3k.

very fiue specimens have been
hrwught in by members of the class.

der the stress of war, as well aa su
pervising 260,000 miles of rail
road system is being accomplished
by one man, Mid that one man is
William G. MoAdoo.
In personal appearance ho is
described as "the six-foot, 165
pound, young looking executive."
He is 54 years old, but is the kind
of a man -who grows old by{ the cal
endar. He has the faculty of win
ning friends quickly and easily, and
he does it because he has a large
heart and a sympathy for the other
man's story. «
It is said he first won Presi
dent Wilson's daughter, whom he
maj-ried, by his grace as a dancer.
He owes his superb physical ocn
iiaioa to the fact that he neither
smokes nor drinks, and usual'iy re
tiree not later than midnight.
Mr. McAdoo studied law at the
University of Tennessee, and prac
tised his profession in Chatanoosa
until 1892, being admitted to the
bar when 21 years of age. He at
tempted to run a street railroad in
Knoxville, but later he went to New
Fork where he again took up his
law practise. His interest in rail
roads was again awakened when he
saw the need for a railroad along
Ae Hudson. Under h.im the tun
lel which now bears his name was
Jullt. The experience thus gained
serves him well in his present ca
pacity as Secretary of the Treasury
ind Director of the Railroads.
