It is diflicult for us in this land of plenty to realize such a situation and we may not fully realize it until we find sollie day that our own sons over in_ France and in Eng - land have had their rations shortened, havebeen obliged to gd without bread or beef or both because these things have giv- en_out. Should we make this discovery we might well look with troubled conscien- ces and little enjoyment upon our well fill- ed tables, might well regret the food we had wilfully wasted or thoughtlessly used, when something else would have answered our purpose and these might have been sav- cd for the boys. If we try conscientiously to realize the situation as it actually is and as it threat- cns to be wc shall take the warning now and economize especially upon those foods which may be used for the soldiers and in thc cdties that arc depending upon us for supplies. The Food Control Committee is asking for a pledge from every householder in the province that they shall practice economy, especially in these three articles. The pledge is to be signed on the 29th inst., and we have no doubt that everyhouseholder in the province will gladly sign it, consci- entiously believcing that they will carry it out. Many of us believe we are very econ- omical now, but there are few homes in the province that could not cut down their use of these three staples to the extent of a few cents per day. In the aggregate this _saving would mean a_____gr_eat dea1,__might mean to our soldiers the differeiccbctween plenty and want. If every person in this province saved one cent per day on their food consumption it would mean a total saving for the year of over $350,000, which would mean even at the present price of flour about 30,000 barrels-quite a saving for a little province like this, and this is putting our economy at a very low rating". Without depriving ourselves of any neces- sary or any comfort we could more than double this saving andwith a little sacri- fice we could swell it to a supply that would do more than we can imagine to av- ert the famine and the want that are cer- tain to come if we do not do our shaile to avert them. The pledges will shortly be distributed, and when signed will be displayed in every household. They will serve as a reason, not an excuse, both to the family and to visitors, for certain restrictions in meals, pink teas and other former unnecessary in- dulgences. The pledge will represent the family’s word of honor that no waste ,or unnecessary expenditure shall be tolerat- ed-; it 'will be the family’s patriotic reason for restricted meals, for substituting war - time dishes for former conventional menus. Guesm will expect that _the pledge shall be faithfully kept and, if- loyal themselves, will respect the loyalty of their hostess in adhering to her pledge. In asking our people for this little econ- omy, this little sacrifice--if sacrifice it may` be called-the Committee is not asking for much, but it will mean very much if acted- upon. Think of this little province provid- ing, without feeling it, 30,000 barrels of flour for our own sons who may before long _have their bread ration shortened! Think _what we could do if we economized to the extent of feeling it, if we made a real sac- 'rifice in connection with our eating and feasting! lo( I)()LLAI{ I).'\Y -Next Thursday, October 25th, -will be Dollar Day in Charlottetown.

In addition to removing the license charge the city gives, free of wharf- age charges, the city wharf to _any and'all vessels selling 'food products. This is a move in the right direction.
