MUST ELIMINATE WASTE
Real Hardships During Winter Unless
Rigid Economy Is Practieed.

Boston, July 3.-"There will be real
suffering in Massachusetts, before the
coming winter is over unless rigid and
persistent economy and elimination OF
all waste is practiced by all" said Henry
b. Endicott, state food administrator, in
statement Saturday night urging
householders "to save the crops so that
they will be available next winter when
the pinch may come"
II am not a pessimist," he said, but |
believe that we should not shrink from
the facts, and the facts are that while
we shall probably have large crop in
this country, we have so many more
people to feed than ever before that
scarcity is bound TO occur in the latter
part of the winter unless we act quickly
and act now, and that means eating so
far as possible now the things which
cannot be canned, dried or preserved, and
canning, preserving and drying every
thing else
Mr.. Endicott added that he was Sur
prised and pleased to find how univer-
sally people are trying to do their share
by conducting their households on bust

THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Pure blood Is the body's first line OF
defense against disease.
Healthy blood contains small
amounts of antitoxins that neutralize
the poisons of invading germs or de-
stroy the germs themselves. That is
why so many people exposed TO dis
ease do not contract IL. Those whose
blood is weak and therefore lacking in
defensive power are most liable TO in.
lection. Everybody may observe that
healthy, .blooded people are less
liable TO attacks Of cold and the grip
than are pale, bloodess people.
To build up the blood there Is one
remedy that has been a household
word for u generation, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of
sunlight, good wholesome food and
fresh air will do the rest.

Two points made by President Wilson
in his letter are particularly important:
Every bushel of potatoes properly
stored, every pound of vegetables prop
erly put by for future use, every jar of
fruit preserved, add that much to our in
surance of victory, add that much to
hasten the end OF this conflict To win
we must have maximum efficiency in all
directions. We cannot win without com.

Also
ave must aim to consume these things
locally so far as possible and thus re-
lieve the pressure on transportation
agencies, freeing them for the more eff
cient handling of products required for
military purposes. What we cannot pres.
emily consume we must conserve"
The particular vegetables that have
been raised in home yard gardens in
cities and rural communities, as well as
by farmers, and which are threatening
vast waste from their abundance are
Tomatoes, beets, potatoes, beans, cab.
bage, onions. sugar corn, peas, carrots.
The fruits are; Peaches, pears, apples,
and in some of the states blackberries.
The resources of the government with
the volunteer help of neighbors to each

to be asked first to put by food for their
own consumption, and, second, to devise
the best methods of marketing their sur
plus products locally.
Owing to the shortage in the supply of
tin containers, most of the preserving
and canning will have to be done in glass
jars, of which 100000 gross, of the Ma
son jar type, have been distributed
through the manufacturers for the pres
ent seasons needs. The total manufac-
turing capacity of this type of jar, which
will be increased by the manufacturers
as necessary is approximately 5000 gross
per day, or 100000 jars during the
next 100 days.
