HELP SWING THE NEEDLE TO DEMOCRACY

DESTRUCTION
WILL ENSUE

Unless there is a hearty response through Conservation,
Uncle Sam has placed you on your honor to conserve food.
Uncle Sam will discontinue this privilege unless there is a real change in your daily food rations.
Uncle Sam is about to send you a card of caution against hoarding food.
Some are still eating Meat Three times a day and he is aware of the fact.
A ration of Seven pounds of Sugar has been allowed for your personal consumption per Month.
A ration of Three pounds per month will be your allowance if you don't save it.
You are still at liberty to eat what you desire.
Conditions do not remain so with our Allies at the present time.
Uncle Sam has an abundance of food and he will not hoard it while our Allies are suffering the pangs of hunger.
If you do not heed to a few conservation requests, you are doing an injustice to your Country, to our Allies and to yourself.
You Must Save Food.

Food and Men Will Win The War.
