Waste of Bread

Scarcity of wheat and high prices
of -four are calling attention to the
all too common waste of bread. Any
waste of bread is inexcusable when
there are so many ways of using stale
bread. In many households one or
more slices of bread daily are thrown
away and not used for human food.
Sometimes stale quarter-or half
loaves are thrown out. Yet one good
sized slice of bread-such as a child
likes to cut-weighs an ounce. 1t con-
tains almost three-fourth of an ounce
of -four
If everS one of the country's TO-
100000, homes wastes on the aver
age only such slice of bread a day,
the country is throwing away daily
over 100000 ounces of -four
over 875, 200 pounds, or enough -four
for over a million one pound loaves a
day. For full year at this rate there
would be waste of over 319,000,000
pounds of -four. 100000 barrels of
flour, enough to make 365,O0O,000
loaves.
AS it takes four and on-half bushels
of wheat to make barrel of ordinary
-four, this waste would represent the
flour from z 900, 200 bushels of wheat
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels
of wheat on the average are raised
per acre. 1t would take the fruit OF
some 100000 acres just to provide {
single slice of bread to be wasted dai
ly in every home.
To produce this much flour call
for an army of farmers, railway mel

Protect the Poor

The cost of living is becoming in
tolerable. Upon even the fiiniest ex-
cuse prices of foodstuffs are raised,
and if no excuse exists they are boost
ed on general principles. Millions of
people who are dependent upon their
daily labor find it almost impossible
to keep soul and body together. In
hundreds of thousands of cases their
vitality is slipping away from pure
lack of sufficient nourishment- Yet IN
the very face of this, Unsuitable food
spectators and profit grabbers are
turning the screws tighter every day.
There appears TO be but one way in
which this sucking of blood of human
ity can be stopped, and that is for
the government to take propmt action
and fix the maximum price at which
every article of food is to be sold,
and IN fixing the maximum the price
should first be scheduled down to nor
NAL. The fact that scarcity IN food
stuffs exisistS should not be an excuse
for allowing prices to remain at their
present outrageous figures And the
same action should be taken with ref
erence to every article Of necessity
that we use.-Salina Journal

With a foreign war on our hands
and possible famine staring Us IN the
face, every man in the United States
who is physically and mentally able
should be required to either fight OF
work. If cheonie loafer is found
who will neither fight or work, then
it is incumbent upon authorities to
take him into custody, put him IN a
field and compel him to aid IN the pro-
duction Of the vast quantities Of food
stuffs that are required TO keep the
wolf from the American door. No SEN
timent or friendship should be allowed
to sway these whom we have placed m
