ON BEING ECONOMICAL AND PATRIOTIC AT THE SAME TIME Who does not sigh for the fairy table that comes at the pressing of a button?
It is invariably laden with the most tempting viands, satisfies beyond words, and disappears when the meal is over, leaving behind no problem of leftovers or planning for the next meal! No money, no work, no thought, only sheer enjoyment.

Alas, how different is the world of fact! Even if we have plenty of money we cannot escape from the thought of food today.

There is imperative need for saving of food materials; at best there will not be enough to go around, and all the world, ourselves included, will suffer in proportion as we neglect the duty of food conservation.

To be economical in the use of food materials according to the program of the Food Administration may, probably will, demand the spending of more money, time, and thought upon food.

If we have the money and time to spend, well and good; but if we have not, how shall we do our share in sending more "wheat, meat, sugar and fats to our soldiers, sailors and allies"?
Thousands of people had to practice strict economy before the war began.
They have no more money than they had then and the cost of food has increased.
