Tre appeal to conserve so that more food would be available for our Al- lies and our" armies met with a generous response on the part of the Canadian people. We have learned to do with a lessened sup- ply, and have not suffered as a con- sequence. Foods are not cheaper than they were a year ago, but the amount spent on 'account of food has been decreased. . For instance, no one would have the hatdihood to claim "that sugar is cheaper to-day than it was a year or so ago; but the total amount of money spent on it hag been reduced--due, of course, to the voluntary and 'involuntary re- strictions placed on its consump- tion. Sugar, with its rationing sys« tem throughout the country, is far in the lead of the manufactured foods showing smaller consump- tion, The thousands of war-gardens throughout the country have simil- gpent on vegetables by more than 60 per cent." But a head of cabbage is no cheaper to-day than a year ago. 'Conservation has been the means of greatly reducing the total amount of money spent on food, ldaving funds available for other 1, of the Canadian Of- is at hand. This new ording to the official announcefient, is "published by the director of public information, to record the activities various de- partments of the govefnment, com- missions and committees organized for war purposes, fufider authority of order in council" . This looks like an ambitious! programme, re- quiring a valine and highly organized staff of editors and writ- ers, the expenditure of a vast amount of money on composition and press work and the use of many tons of newsprint. To all of this, of course, must be added the cost of distribition -- no inconsiderable item, as all newspaper pjiblishers know.
