when many persons allow themselvs~ 10

Of tile waste that takes place in millions
Of these homes.
In reading = magazine the other day.

which not only interested but also smsz-
81 Inc greatly. The article was - fol-

II each home wastes just one slice al
bread day regularly for one year, it will
amount To three hundred and ninstr-n
million pounds of -four. Enough 20 ill
mp one and one half million four barrels

who would have thought II? Again W.
are told that II every one of these twenty
million homes wastes just half OF q cup
vi milk q day. in one year it would
amount to over 9l2 million quarts. In
other words, it would require nearly one
and half million cows To give this much
milk for the people to waste. liz is th.
same way with butter, coffee, tea and
sugar. Think of the sugar left unstirre.i
IN each cup of coffee or tea only to b-

held and you are compelled To be inter
estsd IN coal and IN the coal business
becanse most of your hn-bsr-4s are in

this part Of our great STATE must b,
much concerned about the coal cuisines,
whether We wish.to or not, for We mu-,
all depend on the coal business.
III you read n r papers. you will notice
that all over this country there 10 an aw
fni howl for coal? Now why is this? II
10 because labor is scarce and many VIII.
were mining has gone TO the front. TIN.
means that the men who are in th aine-
must do all they can and get out a.
much coal - possible You women car
do much 20 help by urging the men e.
make every day count by sticking at III.
coal, and cut out 30 mech laying off un-
ir-s IN case of sickness. You must do
your part in showing such men that il il
wrong to idh:sway precions tim. and hang
around doing nothing. when not onl =
their own country but the whole world is
crying TO them for coal. Yon must help
by showing these men that your country
! must have this coal.
II they can't get out the coal. then
they can't make the steel, and If they
can not make the st-el, what on earth l.
% become of US all? The safety Of every
woman and child in this country rests ina
the hands Of you men who yet out the
coal, and II you fail TO get IL cut. a. n
IN heavens name what will We do? a.
you fail u get out the coal, then our
country will ret whipped, for il they can
not get the coal, then they can not grt
