This German wartime call to action asks readers to save fruit stones and gather the kernels for pressing into oil. By 1917 the British naval blockade had cut Germany off from imported fats and oils, so the government and local groups turned to whatever domestic material they could collect, and schoolchildren were often enlisted in these drives. The plain, instructional wording reflects how the home front was mobilized in these years, when even the stones of plums and cherries were treated as a resource.
