ASKS THAT NO FOOD
HE SENT TO SOLDIERS.
Tho Council of National Defense,
State Councils Section, hits sont tho
following letter to all Stuto councils:
"Wo onclose copy of a resolution by
which tho Council of National Defense
asks tho public to discontinue sending
food to tho camps. In tho Jntorost of
food conservation and health you will
appreciate tho importance of giving
wide publicity to UiIb message in your
State. The waste referred to can bo
checked only by getting each soldier's
family and friends to realize that they
individually aro tho persona askod to
stop. Tho Council of National De
fense desires to inform tho people of
tho country that abundant food Is sup
plied to tho soldiers and satloni in tho
camps and-cantonments and that tho
sondlng of food to theso mon by tholr
friends and families Is not In nny re
spect necessary; that the nggrognte
quantity of food thus privately sent is
enormous; and that much of It having
been conveyed long distances In heated
oxpross or mail cars is more or less
spollod and consequently injurious to
tho health ol the, men. Therefore, In
thointerost to tho conservation of food
nnd also tho health of the men tho
Council of National Defense request
tho public to discontinue tho sondlng
of food stuffs to tho camps?
