<P> During the time of the administration, the United States was short of nearly everything during their time of need . All citizens were asked to donate any weapons, horses, and ammunition they possessed to help supply the army, with a small hope of the items being returned . The rationing was done during this time of National need so that food for soldiers, and citizens, wouldn't be an issue . Concepts such as "meatless Mondays" and "wheatless Wednesdays" were also implemented to help ration food, so that essentially the government had one less thing to worry about . </P> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul>
