EATS
TOO MUCH
That's What Hoover Says and That's
What He viii Try to
Put Stop
by Robert J. Bender, United Press
staff Correspondent

TBy Robert J. Bender, United Press
staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Americs
eats too much.
On the heels of his appeal to the
housewife of the country for foot
economy, Herbert Hoover, new food
administrator today gave his views
on eating in the United States. Here
are some of his conclusions;
Every one in the country eats more
than is necessary.
Practically every household wastes
foodstuffs.
Women control ninety per cent OF
the food consumption and should in.
troduce a spirit of sacrifice for the
good OF the country.
Women should learn the fundamen.
tails of dietics.
: Hotel waste is one of the worst in
the country.
The fourth meal'-the late sup
per-is one of the worst extrava-
gances in the country
There are numerous directions
about waste" Hoover said, "but it is
only by the getting down to the volun-
tary effort of every household that
this can be eliminated.
Hotel waste is one of the worst.
1t is SO much worse from the
special standpoint that fifteen per
cent of our people duplicate the feed
ing facilities of the country by eating
IN public places. In public places a
man eats and destroys twice as much
as he does in his home
Then there is the question OF the
fourth meal in the day, the late sup
per which is one of the worst pieces
OF extravaganza we have in this
country. / do not propose any legis-
iatlon in this connection. l think it's
one Of the most hideous things, but
on the other hand. If we get at the
food problem with sufficient intensity,
we ought to be able to establish
public opinion against these things
mat will in large degree eliminate
them"
Hooyer's remedy for tendency to
waste follows:
By sufficiently extensive organi-
eaton of committees in states, coun-
lies and townships. and by the use of
women all over the country-by the
way, women control ninety per cent
ol the food consumption-we might
introduce into every household a
feeling of sacrifice in the interest of
the country in this war.
we ought to teach the women the
rudiments of dietetics. Any intelli-
gent woman can grasp shem In an
hour Things like proteins, fats, car
po-hydrates and calories should be
made as much household wSids as
peas and beans.
once the women get the theory Of
uletetics fully grasped, buying would
reVolutionize itself IF we could
teach the women what they might
substitute for wheat, pork products
ana then some subsidiary articles, we
would increase Our export balance"

A Real Auctioneer

Col. Fred Marshall is fast gaining
a reputation as an auctioneer and
is getting about all of that class of
work that he can handle. Fred can
cry 'em in big round, clear tone
of voice that causes THE bidders to
hike right along and run the prices
high and fast and that is what is
expected of an auctioneer. He last
week cried sale for the Kinman
estate and will next week cry big
cattle sale for Mr.. Laubach, of the
Coolidge country. If you have any
thing in this line you will make no
mistake by taking the matter up
with him, as he's some auctioneer.

have often heard it said of a certain

tame grey hound proceeded to take
him down the line.
