WHEA1LESS AND
NEATLESS DAYS
NEAN BIG SAVING
Idahoans Will Be Called
Upon to Make Sacrifices
to Help Conserve All Its
Resources.
Strict observance by the citizens of
IdVio of one meatless and one wheat
day each week, will together with
a like conduct on the part of citizens
throughout the country, go a long ways
toward helping to win the war, in the
opinion of R. F. Bickncll. food admin
istrator for the state of Idaho. Mr.
Ricknell bases his opinion on a rough
ly estimated expression from the sta
tistical division of the food ndmlnis
.ration at Washington.
In a wire received from the depart
ment, it is estimated that the saving
from one meatless and one wheatless
lay each week would in a year amount
to between eighty and ninety million
bushels of wheat and two billion two
Hundred million pounds of meat. ThePe
calculations are made by the food ad
ministration, based upon the normal
per capita consumption of these com
modities in this country.
Administrator Bicknell calls atten
tion to the fact that little or no indi
vidual hardship is entailed in following
out the government's program.
Since the savings in these staples
ttill result in releasing to our nines
such tremendous quantities of neces
sities. Mr. Bicknell believes when our
citizens have brought home to them
what great good may be accomplished
with a little self denial, that Idaho,
always in the forefront in patriotism,
will cheerfully deny itself meat and
wheat one day each week and that
many will probably volunteer to ab
stain from the use of these things two
days each week.
