It is to be hoped that more people will insist on remeuial legislation when tiie general assembly meets at Raleigh in pji'j. 'ihe time to ag itato is now. The great controversy that has raged between those military men who favored the western front has several angles of interest, but it is well to bear in mind that coalitions are difficult to maintain, and that the westerners in England were serv- g tne cause of the al he. well, when they insisted on giving France . . ... every dh or help possible. Today France is positive that the British are with it heart and soul. A di version of large forces to other fields might have created difficulties for the diplomats. PLENTY OF GOOD 4. lie iiecord irusts that the public .4.4.9 observed that only the bad spots in the war department linen have been exposed to the gaze of the world thus far and that the full cloth has not been shown. Americans, French and British wash their linen on the housetops, while the Germans was theirs in the cellar. That is the difference, but we are content that it is this way. The public has a right to know. Secretary Baker seems to have taken hold of his work with a aeal that has made up for lack of ex perience with large affairs and un prejudiced observers say he has done remarkably well. General Crozier, in his testimony last week, made the point that England was very slow in preparing and that France was almost as backward. The United states has done better, even if mis takes have been made. The Record would not want Secre tary Baker vindicated if he ha oeen incapable of attending to the many duties that confront him. xhis paper would want to see him removed in a minute, because na tional success is more important than any individual or party. We haven't heard Mr. Baker's side yet, but we do know that war prepara tions have gone on apace, and what the army commanders and the secre tary himself ?ay will be more to no point.

From New Britain, Conn., comes the news, by way of the Hartforu Coufant, that numbers of negroes who came to that town last spring from North Carolina, lured by high wages, have been driven by the bitter cold weather of the past two weeks to return to the south and the Courant observes that the shortage of labor in the north will be more acute next spring, that negroes will come north again and that again , reduce the amount of meat we eat they will be frightened away when without harm. iieTir&Au & I , - - - may after all be wise in preferring1"1 than Is necessary, physical comfort to a bank ac- Of the carbohydrates we can just count." That is not high praise as well consume corn, oats and other of the negro race. White men of cereals as wheat and we have abund- all ages have braved weather con- dition3 and have erected new civili zations under the most discouraging conditions and many white men of the present time leave the south- ern for northern states of this re- , publio and usually they stay, thousands of southerners are living in New York and other northern cit ies and an important part of the population of such states as Indiana, Illinois and Missouri are of southern birth. If the negro is unable to endure thfl climat.in ricrnra nf nn.fVnn ---- - - e v VA iivibuciii I United States, it follows that he is! physically inferior to the southpm white man and the conclusion seems io oe impnea tnat if he can not live except in a restricted area oi this country he can never hope to oc cupy a place of equal influence and power with the white people. Wlhile we are sure that nnr friend, the Courant, does not so in tend it, its suggestion that the ne groes had better seek comfjort in preference to a bank account is hardly kind. The Courant and all other well wishers of the negroes h?

SAVE AND SUBSTITUTE SAYS HERBERT HOOVER At Least One Meatless and Wheatless Meal Each Day is Requested in Statement From Mr. Hoover Vital Suggestions Given Food Instruction Card for Every Household in Entire State. Raleigh, Dec. 22. The State Food Administration has just let contracts for the printing of 400,000 supplemen tary home instruction cards to be dis tributed one for each household in the entire State. The issuance of thesa additional instruction cards is prompt ed by the increased seriousness of the food situation in Europe both from the standpoint of military necessity and for the relief of hundreds of thou sands of Europeans who are threaten ed with starvation unless immediate relief can be given them. The supplementary instruction card calls for a "porkless" day each week in addition to "Meatless" and "Wheat less" days, and for a wheatless and meatless meal each day. The con sumer is urged to use sugar on a basis of not more than three pounds per per son per month. Mr. Hoover, on one side of the card, frankly and impres sively presents the food situation as it is. "As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent more protein than we require to maintain health," the directions de clare. "Therefore, we can reduce the amount of meat we eat without harm. We eat and waste 240 per cent mora fat than is necessary." What Is Called for Now. Aside from the general directions contained In the first home instruction card the new card asks everyone to maintain rigid economy of at least: ONE WHEATLESS day each week and one WHEATLESS MEAL each day, the wheatless day to be Wednes day. By wheatless we mean to eat no wheat. products. ONE MEATLESS DAY each week, which uhall &c Tuesday and one meat less meal each day. By meatless we mean to eat no red meat beef, pork, mutton, veal, lamb; no preserved meat beef, bacon, ham or lard. ONE PORKLESS day each week in addition to Tuesday, which shall be Saturday. By porkless we mean no fresh or salted pork, bacon, Jard or ham. SUGAR You can materially reduce sugar by reducing the use of candy and sweet drinks. We will make ev ery endeavor to see that the country Is prevlded with supply of household sugar on the basis of three pounds of sugar for each person per month. Do not consume more. We Are a Wasteful People. Human foodstuffs comprise three principal elements: PROTEIN: Mainly present in meat, beans, fish, poultry, milk, and to some extent in grains. TATS: That is, butter, cream, lard, bacon, margarine, cooking fats, beans, cetton seed oil and other vegetable eils. CARBOHYDRATES: Grains, sugar, potatoes and other vegetables. As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent more protein than we require to maintain health. Therefore, we can ant clmnHa nr nntan an Too.to. bles. Do not limit your supplies of milk and table butter, but consume it all. Don't waste any. Yeu can reduce the consumption of fats by reducing pastry and fried foeds. Remember the Gospel of the Clean Plate, the serving of small portions, the purchase of less supplies. What Hoarding Dees. Any person iu the United States who buys more foodstuffs than he custom- arily keeps at home in peace times Is defeating the Food Administration in its purpose to secure a just distribu tion of food and in its great endeav ors to reduce prices. The hoarding of food in households is not only unneo fcBsnry, as the government is protect ing the food supply of our people, but meantime, to the white friends oi the negroes in the south than the everlastingly maintained attitude of northern men that all parts of this country except in southern states are a little too good for the negroes. While it is nnt- -Pnv tkn Cfon nwacli tr r,M . t NORTH CAROLINA it is selfish and is a cause of fcigi prices. Such actions multiplied by thou sands increase the demands upon our railways for cars and already, because of our military demands, it is with ex treme difficulty we cam now move the vitally necessary food to market. There is much insidious propaganda in the country against conservation and increased production. All oppo sition to these services is direct as sistance to the enemy. The Situation Grave. The reverse side of the card carries a message to those who have signed the pledge card of the Food Adminis tration. It is as follows: To Members of the United States Food Administration : The food situation in Europe is far graver than when the preliminary sur vey of the food supply of the world for this year was made. We have an abundance for ourselves, and it is the firm policy of the Food Administra tion, by the prevention of exports, to retain for our people an ample supply of every essential foodstuff. The har vests of our Allies have proved less than we had contemplated, and the great curtailment of shipping by the submarines during the last few months has further prevented them from access to more remote markets. Beyond the demands of the Allies there is a call upon us by the friendly neutrals for food supplies, and if we cannot at least in part respond to these neutral calls, starvation on an unparalleled scale must ensue. Greater Sacrifice Necessary. Food has now taken a dominant po sition in the war, and we must ask the American people to sacrifice far more than was at first thought neces sary. We have exported the whole or ; the surplus of the wheat from this harvest after reserving to ourselves an amount sufficient for our normal con sumption of seed and flour until the next harvest, and therefore the amount of wheat flour that the United States can contribute to mix with the war bread of our Allies during this winter will be simply the amount that our people reduce their consumption i month by month. In other words, ev- ery grain of wheat or its products that ! the Allies receive from the United : States from now until the next harvest will be exactly the amount which our people have saved each month on their behalf. The Allies today ask for 25 per cent more meat and fats (pork, dairy prod - uets and vegetable oils) than we con- sider our monthly production permits 4.. .3 41. ill,...; v.tn us lu aeiiu mem wuuuui ucucuiug uu our own supplies, or, on the other hand, unless we can sonsume less. Due to the shortage in shipping, our avail able sugar supplies must be less than normal from the present time forward Every Particle Saved Will Count. Thus every particle of diminished consumption by the American people is one particle more for the soldiers, men, women and children of our Al lies and for the starving people in oth er countries. This is a personal obli gation upon every one of us toward some Individual abroad who will suf fer privation to the extent of our own individual negligence. If we are to reduce the consump tion of the few products which we should export abroad, we will need to eat a larger proportion of many dif ferent foodstuffs which we cannot ex port and which we have at home. For this reason we MUST NOT waste ANY foodstuffs. A great many individuals in our population eat far more food than is necessary to maintain their health and strength. In this emergen cy only the simplest of living is patri otic. We want no person in the Unit ed States to eat less than is required for good health and full strength, for in this emergency America requires every atom of the productive power of our people. While many can eat less, all of our population can substitute other foodstuffs for the few that are vitally needed for export. We must not overlook the fact that Russia collapsed not because of the Germans on her borders but. largely because of the failure to organize and feed her own citizens, and, IF WE ARE TO emerge victorious from this war, we cannot risk the collapse of another of our Allies from this same cause. There Is no waste of food among any of our Allies there is the most drastic reduction in their con sumption; there is actual privatlot among their women and childreaf there is starvation In Belgium. Problem for Individual. We have already Issued a series of suggestions in the Home Card a card that is now hanging in over ten mil lions of homes. These suggestions have already shown important results, and to these we now add others. The problem of saving in food is a local and individual one, so that more pre cise and definite rules just to all can not be formulated. It is a matter for the conscientious consideration of ev ery individual that he or she should eat only that which is necessary to maintain bodily health and strength and unselfishly to select those food stuffs the use of which relieves inter national necessities. In this winter of 1918 lies the period when there will be tested in this great free country of ours the question as to whether or not our people are capable of voluntary Individual self-sacrifice to save the world.
