AVOID WASTE.
The necessity for food conservation
during the war period cannot bo too
strongly impressed upon the people of
this country in view of the trials we
are about to face and the tremendous
responsibility resting upon us as the
principal food producing nation of the
earth to which a large portion of the
human race is compelled to look for
sustenance.
This does not mean that anyone
must deny themselves an ample sup
ply of food. Par from it. There Is
food enough In the United States to
supply a.ll possible needs of the popul*
ation with an immense overplus to
divert to others. And there will,
doubtless, always be plenty to suffice
for ourselves alone as long as our
economic resources remain as they
are and have been for years past.
There is not the silgthest danger of
anyone starving as a result of food
shortage.
Tint, although we may consider our
selves far removed from possible star
vation, we have a duty to perform for
others which makes it imperative that
we do all that we can to husband the
national food supplies as far as is
consistently possible.
Not alone have we a duty to per
form but we alRO should not lose sight
of the fact that the more we save the
less we will have to buy.
Every ounce of food the housewife
saves from being wasted represents
just so many pence op cents In hep
pocketbook in addition to lessening
the draft of the household on the fait
from sufficient food impplies of tho
world And always It Bhould be re
membered that with a lowering of
demand such as would occur If waste
were eliminated from the homes of
the land there would also he a cor
responding lowering in the prices of
food commodities.
As has so frequently been pointed
out of late, food waste Is not the least
of the factors contributing to the high
rost of living.
Tho amount of food wasted in the
(average household may not appear
significant until it Is remembered that
the collective loss of food due to
waste In the twenty milion homes
of the United States represent many
Ions of food commodities.
An ounce a day wasted in each of
our households means that more than
a million and a quarter pounds—
enough to feed an army of nearly a
half million men if apportioned in the
Rome ratio as army food rations—will
he lost each day. And not alone Is
this vast quantity ,of food lost to
human UBe but with it is wasted the]
labor of many hundred producers.
As pointed out by the secretary of
agriculture in a recent appeal to the
housewives of the nation, every woman
can rentier important services to the"
nation In the present great emergency
by practicing effective thrift In her
household. She cannot only help to
feed our armies but can also help to
feed those millions of hungry mouths
across the seas which are looking to
as to supply their needs.
By seeing that nothing nutritious
is wasted she can perform a noble
and useful service for her country and
all humanity.
