DEFENSE BEGINS
IN THE KITCHEN
IjEFORE we get too deep into, the

munition.

helped the Germans to make up their
minds to holler “Uncle” in 1918.

Battleships, tanks, planes, anti-air
craft ... yep, weVe got all those.
Bullets and stuff? Yep, we got those
too, and plenty more coming up.
How about men? Well, guess we don’t
have to worry on that score.
But it never does any harm to have a
look in the potato bin and the bread box,
so maybe we’d better have a look there
too.
After all, it was pain from an empty
stomach that inspired old Napoleon to
tell the world, “An army marches on its
stomach.” '

And Washington never did seem to be
able to get the boys fed well enough so
they didn’t look starved to' death, even
when they were posing for pictures, the
ones in the history books, anyway.
And the sight of the new, well-stuffed
So we better be sure about our eats. Well,
what does the fellow in charge of the cel

ture have to say?
A huge canning program, designed to
provide the greatest supply of canned
vegetables in the history of the country.”^
“Despite taxes and restrictions, involve
ment in war will not retard the continu
ing improvement in agriculture in 1942.”

in-1941, yes, 1940, 1939-We had no

She plans well-balanced meals, serves
them appetizingly! nourishes her family
as families of no other nation are nour

Our American housewife is a good man
ager ... a scientific engineer of cooking,
who knows he? vitamins, her proteins ^nd
carbohydrates. She keeps up with mod

WAR HAS BROUGHT ^ A NEW
PROBLEM—it will be solved if
everybody co-operates!
America’s food supply is entirely ade
quate to>«pply normal demand for ev
ery kind of staplS‘^and delicacy. Your
receipt of the foods you need is entirely
dependent on already overloaded trans
portation facilities . . . and when folks
start to “stock up,” it js your local sup
plier who runs out, not the farmer, pro
cessor or canner.
It’s up a patriot, intelligent
buyer, to see th^ your demands stay at
normal. Then^lle orderly process—from
grower to processor to shipper to your
grocer—will go on, and you'll have all
the food you want!
Good American cooks—^and the Caro-
linas have the best there are—will feed
their folks with you and your grocer’s
help! But remember: It*s smart and!
thrifty to keep your food demands nor^
mal!
CO - OPERATE!
CONSERVE!
