Waste from Tnblcs.

will not your paper, which is already

which the good food which is thrown
away from the tables OF hotels, restau-
rants. tearooms. and private houses

main that nothing be lost in this plan
OF plenty, of marvellous wealth, and
great waste. ECONOMIST"
First. mako sure that food deserving
the name is really thrown away Few
restaurants and hotels are prodigal in
this respect. Strict watch Is kept upon
the disposition Of "leftovers." Employees
in eating houses could confirm this
statement. Big establishments that buy
provisions by the ton could teach pri-
waite families a thing or two upon this
head. Personally l have many moro
misgivings as to the contents OF the in
dividual garbage pals than economical
speculations concerning the refuse of
the hotel kitchen. Still, invite COM
municat!ons upon this head from wiser
economists who may be posted with
facts and statistics. Not a dab" or
butter or slice OF stale bread should
see the garbage can at this juncture OF
national history.
