The chart is based on figures precared by the food commission, showing Hawaii's normal consumption of wheat flour by purchases for home cooking to be bags per month. Beginn-ng last October, the savi has grown steadily, except for one month. In October Hawaii saved 10 per cent i from this normal consumption.

Last month April the fine figures cf CO per cent saving was reached.

The Allies' home supply is at Its lowest. Their need for outside help Is at Its highest. The Allies cannot hore to meet the crisis on the first line trench unless we assure them help in the food crisis that threatens their rear guard of brave men. women and children left behind to build ships, make munitions and prepare clothing for those at the front. This Is the reason the call has come that we must save still more wheat to give the Allies.

This Titanic struggle is more than a conflict between men In arms. It a trial of strength between nations, testing them in every uart. Kvery resource rnuat be drawn upon. The men in uniform represent but a small part of the contending forces. They are sent to the front; their burdens are the heaviest; their sufferings the greatest.

But we who stay at home are also In the fight. We are either helping to win or helping to lose. What will victory mean to us? What will It mean to our children? What would defeat mean? Io we realize the sacrifices that already have been made? And who can conceive the sufferings yet to be endured before victory can be ouis? For win we must, and the victory must be decisive. Yet aud this Is the crucial point the German nation cannot be beaten by that fraction of an army that can be put under arms. Ten million men in khaki; a hundred million people at home.

To win we must call upon the strength of the entire nation. Cur responsibilities, then, are plain, our duties obvious. And of these duties none is greater than to feed the men who are doing the fighting, to make sure that tney shall not be beaten because of lack of food. The danger of such a defeat Is not a mere idle fancy conjured up to stir the imagination. Mr.

Hoover sends word that the situation is serious, though by no means beyond control. Yet the fact remains that there is not enough wheat both for them and for us. They must have It or we are beaten. We do not need it. We have food in plenty other sorts, palatable, nutricious, healthful.

To use these foods means enly a little self-denial, some bother, a little extra expense. But not to use them in place of wheat is to invite do-feat. The more wheat used la America the smaller the army we can feed at the front. TO EAT WHEAT IS TO INVITE DEFEAT. TO SAVE WHEAT JS A PRIVILEGE.

MACFARLANE. Women's Committee of the Territoral Food Commission and Federal Food Administration. USE 10 WHEAT IF Women of Honolulu Heading Food Saving Activities and Urging Wheat Substitutes HERE ARE RECIPES WHICH WILL AID HOUSEWIFE TO SAVE WHEAT Washington and Hawaii the federal and the territorial government are working together on a great propram of wheat flour saving. The home economics department hat been conducting a series of experiments with the result that they have evolved a number of excellent recijes which are 100 per cent substitute cereals. These are thoroughly reliable, having been tested In the most careful manner.

The recipes herewith are not only "according to Hoover" but are Indorsed by the women's committee of the territorial food commission. 21.000,000 bushels per month, a reduction of 50 per cent in our normal consumption, according to Mr. Hoover, who has just Issued a new appeal to the American public and outlined a new wheat conservation program. "This is a military necessity," says Mr. Hoover.

"The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifice in the consumption of wheat products than can the FOOD CONDITIONS ARE MORE CRITICAL (The last paragraph of a letter from President Wilson. Jan. 38. 1918): 1, therefore, in the national interest, take the liberty of calling upon every loyal American to take fully to heart the suggestions which are being circulated by the Food Administration and of begging that they be followed. I am confident that the great body of our women who have labored so loyally In cooperation with the Food Administration for the success of food conservation will strengthen their efforts and will take It as a part of their burden In this period of national service to see that the above suggestions are observed throughout the land.

WOODROW The White House. Jan. 18, 1918. Conditions are more critical today than in January. The need of saving wheat Is much greater now than thetv What Food Sayiog Accomplice (From N.

Y. Times, April 7. 1918) As a result of conservation measures adopted and tle cooperation of the people the United States was able In March to export 1,100,000 tons of food stuffs to the Allied nations. This was a Jump from 750.000 tons in February, where the ability of the nation to respond to the call of the Allies, who set 800,000 tons as the minimum needed, was held In check by the severe weather and the lack of trans portation facilities. The 1,100,000 tons of foods shipped last month, according to an official an- nouncement by the Food Administration, represents 15,500,000 bushels of wheat and Its products and 16,200,000 bushels of other grains.

80,000,000 pounds of beef and beef products and 200,000.000 pounds of pork and pork products. The Food Administration has Issued the warning that a sufficient quantity of wheat can be shipped from now until the next harvest only in theV event that the consumption in America is cut in two. The response which has met the appeal has made It appear certain that the crisis will be safely passed. continue to reach the Food Vdministration today from all parts of he country telling of. the extreme neasures which had been voluntarily 'dopted by the people to save wheat.

Let all who can, go without wheat. Now is the hour of our testing. WHEAT ia the TEST. Food will win the warl Food today neam first of all WHEAT. "Make your acres tote double," saya he Progressive Farmer.

Now is the hour of our testing. Let 3 make It the hour of our victory ictory over ourselves; victory over ihe enemy of freedom. Home 1918.

The wheat substitute recipes given below show that a wide variety of combinations is possible even when limited to the use of a few substitutes. All of the combinations are good. In nearly all cases a combination of substitutes makes a better product than the use of only one substitute.

Muffins containing oats have a particularly pleasant flavor. Other substitutes used with buckwheat will modify the color and improve the flavor of the product. The use of molasses will also do this. 1. Combination Substitute Muffins.

We should discourage the use of wheat to the fullest extent without Interfering with the health of Individuals. We should urge all persons who are well-to-do to give up wheat.

Doubtless, it will be necessary to use Liberty bread in households where women cannot make quick breads and where the menu Is limited. We must, however, use every effort possible to secure a large volunteer army xo abstain from the use of wheat. Our program is clear, there-tore, to teach housekeepers to make good breads from substitutes where they can be procured. Our potato campaign is helping materially in this respect. We can urge the use of potatoes instead of wheat Just as forcibly as possible.

There is the truth. What can you do? Just do what the United States Food Administration asks you to do. It's not hard, but it Is necessary. GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SPEECH TO THE CONGRESS COMMITTEE Jan. 28, 1778.

"Unless ample provisions are laid up in the course of this winter and the approaching spring nothing favorable I3 to be looked for from the operations in the next campaign; but our arms, enfeebled by the embarrassment of irregular and fluctuating supplies of provisions, will reap no other fruits than disgrace and disappointment!" Do not help the Hun at meal time. That idle acre is a German missile tor an American heart. We'll substitute corn for wheat and victory for defeat. Bread is the staff of life, but very few Americans need a staff.
