Germany's land- sturm women fight at home against the blockade while tho land.sturm man attacks the enemy at the front. A Germanhausfrau can't go to the shops or market now and get what she wants. She -cannot oven get sufficient "of soma things she needs. She can buy only one-half pound of meat a week for each person.' If aha gets pork she grinds it up fine and mixes it with bread crumbs. This loaf she roasts. One-third of this she serves for one meal. Next day he does without meat. The third day she serves another third. The fourth day she has fish and the fifth day she boils what is left of the meat with tailk and has creamed meat on toast. Potatoes are scarce, but with more bread and incoming spring, vegeta bles the cook makes some kind of a new dish. ' - The world probably never has seen such resourcefulness displayed by j t;ariiz?d society as Is evidenced in Ber- n today.
