The average order served in a
puhlie ealing' place, part ieularl>
if u is a "inrrrhanls' lunch." nr
a dinner, contains enough food
for two or more persons, and
these exl ra\aganeies are as pro
nounced in homes as they are in
puhlie eating places.
II is probably true llial Ihe av
erage person, man or woman,
consumes twice as much food as
one person should consume: and
tlmre are lliei leavings of I tie meal
which will si ill further emphasize
this element of waste in our daily
life. If many men and women
eat twice as much as they should
cal. they also order or rook much
more Ilian they are able to eat,
and llial increases I lie table
waste.
The d,cavings from American
tattles probably would feed most
-of Ihe hungry people in this
connI rv.
(lerlainlv if we could add to
these leavings I In* vast quantity
of food gonrniandixers consume
over and above a fair and whole
some allowance, we would have
food lo supply every hungry per
son in this country.
Mow much these wasteful and
physically harmful pearl ires have
added lo the nation's food hill,
there is no way of telling: but Ihe
amount is not small, and, besides,
this habit of over-eating lias al
so increased Ihe drug hill, and Ihe
doctor's hill, and in very many
instances Ihe undmrlaker has
come in for his share of the pro
fits.—Seal tle Sun.
TOO BIG A JOB.
While President Wilson is en

and will possibly make much of
the work of the session abortive
unless I lie session should lie un
duly prolonged.
Through I lie veto III' the so II
drv civil apprnprial ion hills by
ProsiilenI Tall it is certain Hull
the extra session will have at
least one big job on its hands
other than the I a rill', and there
is little reason to believe thill llli'

al llie special session. Currency
reform is a big ipiest ion upun
which 1 here is a divergence of
views, and if Ibis i|mJslinn comes
before Congress il will see a large
pari of llie lime of llie session
wasted even though im actual
