LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
P-cs:dert Aus-vcsn Society for Thrift

French household is nothing but a
tasty stew, made of left-overs-meats
and vegetables which would otherwise
be wasted. -
The pot All feu we'll known in
France and occasionally served here
in restaurants is a most nutritious and
palatable dish. It's basis is soup
stock in which beef and vegetables
have been boiled and it is served in
a brown earthenware pot First tina
soup is poured off and forms the first
course. of the meal, then the. meat
and vegetables are drained off and
there IS your second course, which.
with cup of coffee and bread forms
substantial meal at a small cost.
The glittering powder of many hues
we see worked into the designs on
wall paper is made from the waste
lining of sea shells extracted by thu
button makers. Formerly it could not
be utilized for any purpose, but now
it is turned into fine powder, colored
any shade desired and used for great
many purposes-in the manufacture of
artificial flowers for one thing.
The value of waste paper is SO great
that the collecting of it affords a good
livelihood for hundreds of people in
every large city. Nearly every print
ing Office in the country finds the
saving of waste paper sufficiently
profitable to invest from $50 to $3.50
in machines for pressing this waste
paper into bundles ready for market.
It is used in many ways. For one
thing it is used in the making of
papier rnache.
Thus we find manufacturers and
owners of large concerns all over the
world, practicing economy in many
ways that individuals would do web
to emulate.
