Don't Waste Foods,

Statisticians claim that $4,000, 900
are wasted every month IN this city
on foodstuffs that are thrown out by
careless servants. Recalling this
waste, a pathetic case Of restitution
was brought to the attention of the
authorities this week when two half
starved children were found cooking
potatoes in a vault In a deserted GEM
etery. The children were Sophia and
Margaret Green, aged twelve and four :
teen. They were so weak that they
could scarcely walk. Later, the police
found their mother Mrs. Mary Green.
so nearly famished she had to be
taken to hospital. The children were
sent to a charitable institution.
Mrs. Green, the mother, left desti-
tute by the death Of her husband in
mine in Shenandoah, Pa, went with
her girls to Paterson in the hope IF
finding work in the mills. All her
savings went for railway fares. She
and the little ones slept one night III
the park, two nights under a stoop
and then found the cemetery vault
They had nothing to eat except what
they could beg. The children picked
up the potatoes in the street, after
having gone without food for three
days. Mrs Green had two slices OF
bread, which, despite her own hunger
she was saving for the girls.

years ago Smith came East on a visit

- still loved her as In the old days
and that he had been writing to her
regularly. Soon after he returned
west, the woman confessed to her
husband that she loved Smith and de-
sired to join him in Denver. With n
sense of self effacement and chivalry
that is rare, the startled husband fur
nished her with her fare and sent her
on her way. Apparently Smith did
not relish this unexpected develop
ment in the woman for she tele-
graphed back to her husband the day
after reaching Denver advising him
that she had made a mistake and ask
ing him to forward her money to pay
her way back. Miller forgave her and

nothing had transpired to shake his
confidence in her. A year later she

her railroad tickets once more and
bade her god-speed. adding however.
THAT he would not take her back the
second time. She is supposed to be
with Smith in Denver at this time,
although nothing has been heard from
her since she left home. The case
is one of the oldest of it's kind that
has attracted attention here for many
years.
