Meatless Days Have Helped Allies in
A Big Way—Wheat Shortage
in United States Prevents
Helping This Year
Royal A. Gunnison, Federal Food
Administrator for Alaska, in a cable
gram received by Attorney L. V. Ray
last night has the following to say
regarding food conservation and its
enemies:
“Herbert Hoover, National Food
Administrator, advises me that the
circulation of unwarranted and mali
cious reports in Chicago by parties
interested in exploiting the sale of
meat and protesting against wheatless
and meatless days as unnecessary
sacrifices by the American people,
are utterances foolish and unpatriotic.
“Mr. Hoover says thast owing to
the critical situation of the world’s
food today, opposition to the govern
ment’s conservation measures is com

parable to the opposition to the draft.
The failure in saving food means a
direct and immediate loss of life aside
from the serious interference with
our war measures in feeding our al
lies. As a result of meatless days'
the United States, has for the
first time, created a visible supply to
allow us to partially comply with the
quantities requested by the Allies for
shipment during December. I urge a i
continued devotion to food conserva
tion. We have been unable to help|
our Allies with our wheat because of
the demand of our own people and
we have restricted the export of
wheat so as to retain in the United!
States sufficient supply to carry us!
over until next harvest. At that we
are still unable to load over four hun
dred thousand tons of foodstuffs ur
gently required by the Allies this
month.” If

at noon today for business. Xo lunch |
tables have been arranged as yet and ;
the cooked food, steaming hot, is toj

that home cooked flavor. The deli-|

My prices are uniform as near as pos
sible. I don’t advertise specials to sell at
no profit. If I did, I would have to add the
cost to other goods.
I do not ask 50 per cent profit to other
goods to sell some at cost in order to make
the public believe that I am giving them bar
gains. The size of the package or can will
speak for itself.
Conservation means “Quantity and
