Saturday to Be Porkless. "Meatless means to eat no red meat, such as beef, pork, mutton, veal or lamb and no preserved meat beef. bacon, ham or lard. The world shortage of pork and pork products, which Is becoming increasingly grave, has caused the administration to ask for the observation of a "Porkless Day," whick will be Saturday of each week." Onhls day no fresh or salt pork, bacon, lard or ham is to be used. "The most material reduction of the consumption of sugar can be made by a reduction of the amount of candy and sweet drinks consumed. This may be easily accomplished without any attendant hardships or additional sacrifices. Every en deavor is to be made to see that the country 4s provided with a supply of household sugar on the basis of three pounds of sugar for each per son per month. Individual consump tion should be guarded so that no more than this amount will be con sumed. Supplies Scarce In Europe.

'F. W. LEONARD, Manager The service .Is voluntary but . it Is believed that no patriotic person seeking success for this Nation in .tile great war will fail to observe these new "requests. "The increasing gravity of the world food situation has caused the administration to ask for greater sav ing on the part of the American peo ple. The meat supply of Europe is at its lowest ebb, as is the supply of sugar. The pork situation in this country is such that even the pjans of the Government for feeding our own soldiers is being jeopardized. Wheat is in the greatest demand and the surplus supply has been exhaust ed. Help of All Persons Needed. "Success in the war will come only from well-fed, well-cared-for and efficient fighting forces and we can not permit our own Armies and those of our Allies to become weak and inefficient through gluttony, self ishness and wilful wasting of food on our part. We must do everything that is within our power here at home so that the men who are on the French front may not suffer through our neglect. The Federal Food Ad ministration for Missouri feels confi dent that the new requests of the national administrator will be ob served religiously by every patriotic Mlssourian." The new instructions are to be dis tributed through the county food ad ministrators of the state to every home in Missouri as a supplement to the "Home Card" issued during the Family Pledge Enrollment campaign. On one side of the card are the new Instructions and on the reverse sMc a comprehensive and simple stitt ment of the food situation of the world by Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator. m ;mm .'
