ing guide for every American.
It is the simplest interpretation
of vast research conducted by
eminent nutritionists which proved
that more than any other factor the
right food Is responsible for strong
bodies, sound minds, and calm
nerves. The net result is the high-
est state of human efficiency which
in itself is one of the most vital
contributions to national defense,
and applies with equal importance
to the man at the front, the worker ,
speeding up production of war
materials, and the woman at home
who is running het household with
one hand and contributing to de-
fense activities with the other.
Every American by eating the
right way every day makes a per-
sonal and important contribution to
our national defense. Start your
contribution today. Be sure that
your three-meals-a-day include the
number of servings of each food
suggested on this chart. This will
be available soon in your retail
grocery store. In the meantime
clip this and keep in a conspicuous
place in your kitchen as a con-
stant reminder of a daily defense
job. Tell members of your family
and friends the personal contribu-
tion they can make by following
our Government's rules of good nu-
trition.
The following menus for a day
show how simple it is to incor-
