The following six letters have been selected with care from some thousand and three received during the week. The others are at the service of any enterprising editor, or Lord DEVONPORT can have them if he will send a waggon to take them away. They should make pleasant week-end reading.
AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.
SIR,—What we plain men want to know and what we are entitled to know is—What does Lord DEVONPORT eat? What does Mr. KENNEDY-JONES eat? What does Mr. ALFRED BUTT eat? It would make a vast difference to the success of the food campaign if each of these administrators was visible at his meals, doing himself extremely ill. I suggest that a prominent shop window should be taken for each, and they should have their luncheon and dinner there in full view of the public.
Yours, etc.,
COMMON SENSE.
THE POWER OF BRITISH HUMOUR.
SIR,—If the Food Economy posters were more carefully thought out the trick would be done. I suggest, for example, something really pithy and witty, such as—
| IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ONE OR TWO DAYS TO BE MEATLESS DAYS. YOU SHOULD SEE THAT ALL DAYS ARE EAT-LESS DAYS. |
Something like that would soon drive the fear of England into the [unprintable word] Germans.
Yours, etc.,
DOWNRIGHT.
