Advertising
Stern economy is required to make our supplies of bread and wheat flour last till next harvest. Every person must eat at least one pound of BREAD less per week than hitherto, and set his or her face relentlessly against wasting a single crust. This is a simple form of National Service in which every- body in the land, rich and poor, young and old, can play their part. If every man and woman will eat i-lb. less bread per week than he or she normally consumed we shall frustrate Germany's attempt to starve us out, and can laugh at their submarines.
