The ladies of the Committee have . distributed from house to house the leaflet given below and have sold numbers of the booklets of the National Food Economy League ( 3 , Woodstock Street , London . W. 1. ) . giving valuable hints and recipes . The windows are beginning to show the Voluntary Rations pledge cards issued by the National War Savings Headquarters ; and many more are only await- ing a fresh consignment of cards . Since the leaflet was written still greater stress has been laid by Lord Devonport on the importance of saving bread . The gravest speech that he has so far made was delivered in the House of Lords on Wednesday , April 25th . He said to the nation , " If you reduce your consumption of bread we are safe , Go on eating with no diminution , and there will be bitter times be- fore next harvest comes . I do not know that I can make it plainer . That is the real situa- tion . " He added , " It is immediately neces- sary indeed it is the absolute duty , of the whole population to concentrate on the saving of bread and bread stuffs . Those who can afford a wide variety in their dietary leave bread severely alone , so that it may be available for those who depend upon it . " must The leaflet referred to above is as follows : To the Housewives of Kington . Dear Fellow Housewives , We have been told by the Prime Minister that the shortage of food in this coun- try at this moment is very serious - greater than has ever been known . But we English are unimaginative and find it hard to believe . We think that if it were really true , we should be put on compulsory rations at once .. But the reason why that day has been put off is that if only the rationing can be done voluntarily it will save the country an immense amount of labour for organisation , at a time when labour is sorely needed for other things . It is up to us housewives to show that it not only can , but shall be done voluntarily at once . The matter is urgent Voluntary rationing was started by the Food Controller just two months ago Thousands of housewives have responded , with the immediate result that in London less than three - quarters of the usual amount of meat . was sold per week in Smithfield market .. But the establishment all over the country , in the T. R. Johnson last week or two , of these " Local Food Con- AND D. F.

FOR BEST We all know what is asked of us : To con- sume not more than 2 lbs . of meat , 4 lbs . of bread ( or 3 lbs . of flour ) , and lb. of sugar per head a week . As Lady Chance has well put it , " It does need knowledge and a lines , but after one has done it for a time it comes almost without thinking . I warn people that to economise merely by using less . means loss of health , strength , and efficiency . " We have , therefore , to study the nourishment supplied by various foods , and for this purpose MONUMENTAL WORK the booklets of the " National Food Economy League " of which Lady Chance is organiser- are invaluable .

All of us can display the Ration Cards , what - rants admitted ever our means , for those who cannot afford . the full ration of meat are specially allowed more bread and yet it must be remembered that saving of wheat flour is of even more im- portance to the country just now than saving in meat . To come first within , and then be low , the ration in bread and flour needs all our ingenuity , and how we can do it will partly depend on how much we can bake at home , on what substitutes we can afford , and what are availabe at the time . Oatmeal porridge and oatcake give more nourishment for our money than bread , and " cheese is far better value than beef or mut- ton , while lentils , haricot beans and peas are more than three times as good value as meat . " It will be found easiest to ration by means of tables , such as that given overleaf . At the end of each week , if one has come below the rations , one many pounds and ounces of can write down how meat and of sugar one has saved one's coun- wheat flour , of try .
