Mr. Hoover believes that the effort to make eves this saving 1s import- ant. This fart In itself shows how g rave the food situatio■ Is in Eu- rope, aad hew critical will be the seat few months. If It is presented t. the people as a patri.tic duty to eat a pound of whale meat a. year, there can ire no doubt of the re- spoaae. The man who could not get away with a pound in the course of • year must be either a pacidat •r s pro -German. Undoubtedly there does exist • popular prejudice agal at regarding weals as asytblsg but a source of valuable oil sad the raw material for women's stays. Many people suppose that lbs whale la constructed of whalebone and whale oil to about 05 per cent. of his person, the other s per cent. being the space advertised 1n the story of Jonah. But the fact 1s that whale is about 95 per Best meat teed. in Japan, where whale meat is a popular article of diet, the whale is hunted and killed for his meat. Is the United States and else- wtrere the whale 1a killed for hie blubber and for whalebone, the leak being used as a fertiliser. It is this meat, hitherto used as a fertilizer, that Kr. Hoover purposes to have for food. The sotto' that the whale is not fit to be eaten is die to the feet that the whale with which people along the Atlantic coast are remitter. namely the sperm whale, the so-call- ed right whale, and the towhead are net fit to eat. But just as there are Pigs and pig,' so there are whales and others. The hump -back, the Osback, the sei whale and the blue or sul- phur -bottom whale are altogether a different kettle of flab. Mr. Ray Chapman Andrews, as- sistant curator of mammals at the America' Museum of National His- tory, who has heeled and photo- graphed and eaten whales for years, says that whales contrary to gea- eral oplalos, have no fishy lavor. and he also explodes another bombshell to the erect that whales do not eat fish. Now, the notion that whales 'teed exclusively upon little fish, which they strain through an es- tremely small throat into an extreme- ly large stomach, is eves more wide- spread than a dlst?ellef In the story of Jonah. Mr. Andrews says that the whale, when extremely hungry. will peck at a few million sea her- ring. but his real staple diet Is com- posed of shrimps. in the mattes of diet few animals that we now eat are so particular as is the whale. He does not devour every Tom, Dick and Harry that be meets In the sea, but only a favored few. He would not swellow a man unless he know well. his antecedents, a fact which seems to put another dest In that story about Jonab. It would neem that the argument that the friends of the whale put forth In favor of it being este■ 1s perfect it Is good to Rat, it is cheap; it is said to look like venison and taste like beef. Mr. Andrews, who appears to have acquired the habit of eating a whale a day, says that he has frequently had whelp nerved to his dinner guests, as when mas- queraded as venison oto bear It has fooled nine out of tee._He admits that there la au oiliness about the meat, but this can be abolished by putting a dash of soda in the water be which the meat la boiled. The whale will be devoured chiefly is the form of steaks and chops. It is recom- mended that the meat should be rut thiel --about two Inches and a half flick—in the case of a steak, and that plenty of seasoning should be used. The tongue of a whale is supposed to be the fid -bit. There la this dif- ference between a lark's tongue and a whale's that the latter la consider- ably larger. In fact, tbs tongue of tire/ whale weight about a ton, sari J It Ie sot employed in fruitless ear trovers-. it 1a tender. Apart from the tongue, the back Is the next hest chow. The hams, haunches sad shoulders are not eaten In the best circles. The canning of whale meat Hi a well-recognized Japanese ledur try, and a similar Industry has bee. established Is the United State*. Doubtless canned whale, which is sail to reeulre little cooking. will make lta appearance In Canada, if mot from the American whaling Ma - tons then from those os our owe Palle coast. The whales will be the product. not of the deep sea expedi- tious with which most of ns are familiar is books, but of the no-ealled "off -..bore" industry, which provides most of the Pacific coast catch.

( the strength of each of the allied nations must be put forth to meet the organized, \ trained and disciplined efficiency of the Central Powers—that gigantic, ruthless force which is the result of fifty years of planning and preparation. And every ounce of every allied nation's strength is in the hands and brains and hearts of the individuals of each nation, because they are free peoples. Ncsw the individuals of each nation must live as well as fight, therefore a proportion of the effort and material of each nation must be diverted from war purposes to living necessities, So the less each individual takes for himself or herself for personal use the more effort will there be left for fighting and winning the war. Every cent you spend represents that much effort be- cause somebody must do something for you in order to earn that cent —somebody's offort must be given to you instead of to the war. Therefore the less you spend—the less of somebody's effort you take for your individual use—the more will you leave in the national surplus for war effort. The war can be won only by the surplus strength of the allied nations. The money each individual saves represents that surplus strengt . So the truly loyal Canadian will use less, spend Bess, and save more, to help to win the war. Published under the Authority ei The Minster el Finatos d C.sada. 4 iii 1
