ity and Honor to Men.

ministration announced that Its 500,
000 volunteer canvassers aro busy
with tho campaign of food pledge
week; which will end November 4.
Tho canvassers report that they ex
pect to get tho slguutures of 13,000,000
American housewives to tho food
pledge. A million and n quarter wom
en have already signed the card prom
ising to conserve food. This leaves
between seven and eight million ns
yet unaccounted for.
Sunday was marked by war-food
conservation sermons In .churches all
over the land.
Tho food pledge Is not nn effort to
get people to eat less. It asks them
to substitute those foods ot which this
country has an abundance, for those
urgently needed by tho peoples of
America's allies and their armies and
ours.
President Wilson, In a letter to tho
food administrator, has said:
"In no other way can Amcricnn
women so greatly assist aB by enlist
ing In the service of tho food adminis
tration nnd cheerfully accepting Its
direction and advice. By so doing
they will lncrense tho Biirplus of food
available for our own army and for
our allies.
To provide adequate supplies for
tho coming yenr is absolutely vital to
tho conduct of the wnr and without a
very conscientious elimination of
waste nnd very strict economy In our
food consumption, we cannot hope to
fulfill this primary duty.
"I trust, therefore that tho women
of tho country will not only respond to
your nppenl and ncccpt tho pledgo you
are proposing, but that all men en
guged In tho distribution of foods will
co-opernte with tho snino curnestness
nnd in tho sumo spirit."
