5,500,000 pounds, or more than 28,000 barrels. If this saving was made
three times a week, it would amount to 858,000,000 pounds, or 4,377,000
barrels in a year.
You can do your share in effecting this saving and really help to win
the war by omitting white bread from one meal today and taking in its
