FOOD CONSERVATION PROGRAM The Food Administration has asked the peoplé to set aside this first week of 'Decémber 'for the consideration of changed conditions in the food program and: rededicati ofi of them- sely Lmosts LESS servation of all food for many months to come.' Mr. 'Haovet is in Europe studying conditions ..and will soon send us word as.to. what we are asked' to do Specifically. However there are two requests which are be- ing made. at, present--first restric- tion in; use, of butter;and cream; and second elimination sof the fourth meal, whether afternoon or evening, in so far as it includes food of any nourishing value. 'An occasional social cup of tea in 'homes, accom- panied by the merest wafer, is not frowned upon, but we are asked to go neo further than that. Mr. Hoover's letter which may be found on_the Bulletin boards of the War. Emergency..Union at the Sta-! tion and at the "Postoffice, should be readin full by every ane. He appeals to the American people to feed not only the suceéring Allies who could be reached before November 11, but also the 200 million additional people who "are facing actual starvation in countries just released from our enemies. He says, "The determining factor for the success of such an en-, larged appeal will be the vivid con- sciousness in every individual in 'each; commfmity of «obligation and oppor- tunity. : She; (America) has establish- ed the foundation of government by! the people throughout the enemy! countries; and this is the real bul- Wark of world peace. No government: nor, nation can: stand ifyits people are starving. We, must doy our par if the world be not consumed in a flame of anarghy.)

If these people' fet anything interfere with hearing, Mrs. Hale, they will miss a rare opportunity to-receive a positive, inspiration for their future' conserving. In Mrs. Hale's speech at Orchestra Hall, Monday evening, she"scarcely mentioned. specific articles' 'of food, but gav AN, interesting description of varied conditions" in thle whole of Europe, and pointed the way along broad Mines, by which we 'shall have an opportunity tod 'serve the starv- ing nations who, without our food, with" weakened bodies and wills, 'are in grave danger of being over run with Bolshevism, until they are in the position of, forty million people in Russia today--unable to receive food from any source because of the lack of transportation facilities.
