OUR NATIONAL SIN
We are continually reminded
of the need of conservation of
our natural resources—forests,
mines, water powers and the
like—and action in this direc
tion is highly desirable, if not
even now absolutely necessary.
Given sufficient time, the for
ests may be increased .the wat
er powers extended from a
few months to the entire year,
and dying soils revived. But
there is a yet more important
waste that is nation-wide, and
is found where t lie re are neith
er forests nor mines, nor water
powers. It exists in every
state and is growing all the
time, not only by reason of
large population, but at an in
creasing percentage as well.
This is the waste in the homo
kitchen.
As a nation we have practiced
extravagence from childhood;
really a natural and logical
sequence in a land of appar
ently inexhaustible resources,
where valuable hardwood trees
were burned to clear the land
for cultivation which same land
later produced so bountifully
that the corn was often used
as fuel because it was loo
cheap to sell. Those days have
passed, it is true—never to re
turn again in the United Slates.
But the condition named was
only one of many, incident to
the growth of this country; and
however justifiable such wastes
may have been in this way, and
while not practiced at the
present time, they nevertheless
contributed to the growth of
a spirit of reckless wasteful
ness which has now pervaded
all classes. Even the most
thrifty immigrants, born and
reared to exercise the most ex
treme economies, soon lose
much of it after a few years in
America, which throws away
every day in the year enough
food alone to feed, and feed
much better than some are
now fed, a nation of 15,000,
00O souls; as for instance, the
combined population of Euro
pean Turkey and Persia, or all
of Manchuria. Perhaps we
will comprehend it belle’’ in
terms of our own cities; that Is
enough is wasted through care
lessness or ignorance in pre
paration, or thrown away after
cooking, to actually feed—
though perhaps not quite as
well as they are fed, but to
sufficiently feed—the combined
population of the following
'cities: New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St.
Louis. San Francisco, New Or
leans, Los Angeles, Omaha.
Denver. Portland, Ore., St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Detroit,
Milwaukee, Cleveland, Buffalo
and Kansas City, Mo., Seems
impossible, but the figures are
junder rather than over esfitna
j ted.
Just think of it; enough
nourishing food absolutely
wasted in this country every
day to feed every man, woman
and child in 18 of its largest
cities! Part of this loss Is due
to ignorance and carelessness j
of servants, but a very large
porton is waste for which the
housewife is responsible. At
only 10 cents per meal the a
bove loss amounts to $4,500,
000 per day, or $1,042,500,
000 per year.
The only wonder is the ‘ high ;
'cost of living” is so low.~Kx. '
