TALKS ON THRIFT

When a calamity such as the
San Fransisco earthquake, the
Dayton food or the sinking of the
Titanic occurs, the world stands
aghast at the frightful waste of
life and property as measured in
dollars and cents, and the whole
worl& pays the penalty. But these
happenings cannot be averted.
They are costly but infrequent-
part of the price of our modern
civilization, and constitute but
small fraction of the waste cost
of the world.
We wouldn't burn forest
knowingly, but we would burn the
lumber that comes out of it. Ma
tons do not waste their big
things willingly. Only a great
war can bring a nation to the
point of destroying life and prop
erty recklessly, as a part of the
game. But there is waste that
is going on constantly that is
more costly even than war, as
costly as war may be; for war
accomplishes something-at least
it settles a quarrel. The waste
we refer to is the waste Of little
things, for these in aggregate
prove as costly, although less no.
ticeable, than the waste of larger
ones,
While little indulgences, such
as drinking, smoking, candy and
sodas, are not particularly waste,
they are not profitable expendi-
lures. They get us nowhere and
do no particular good. But even
passing these as permissible, the
most ineXcusable waste is in the
line of food. 1t is not what comes
in the front door, particularly,
that counts, but what goes out of
the kitchen.
The total cost of food in this
country cannot be even approNi-
mated, but eminent authorities
place a dollar a day as a fair av-
erage for the food value Of the
American people. This means
cost of about $5,20O,OOO,OOO each
year. So eminent authority as
Doctor Wiley estimates that at
least one-quarter of this is wasted.
And this is entirely possible. No
tice as you dine at restaurants
how much untouched food goes
back to the kitchen-not to feed
some poor mortal, but to go out
into the garbage. 1t seems so
perfectly natural for some people
to merely play with a dinner,
sending choice cuts of meats and
fowls back to the garbage can.
We waste more than we eat. If
the Doctor is right this means a
food waste Of $1,300,O00,O00 a
year and the pity Of it is that it
does no one any good-not even
the pigs, for they would thrive
better on less costly diet. One
large country hotel a few years
ago lost most of it's herd of 300
hogs from feeding "swell swill. :"
This food, if conserved, would
feed all the poor. 1t would
build ten battleships. 1t would
buy all the land in some states. 1t
would pay off the national debt
in single year. 1t would run the
government for twelve months.
The waste Of money cures it.
self, for soon there is no more to
waste. There comes a time when
the bank runs dry and the easy
money flows no more. But this
frightful waste Of food can 90
on year in and year out, and yet
we wonder why living costs so
high.
1t takes four years to raise a
porterhouse steak, and to send
half of it back to the kitchen is an
