One good way to conserve food is to
have prepared for your meals only suf-
fcient amount for the meal. See that
nothing is left over to throw away. If
YOU feed dogs, take into consideration
of whether or not the dog is worth the
feed you give him. You who arc more
financially able need not think that yo1
have a privilege to waste. Think that
all you can avoid using will surely be
turned to others who need it. Wealth
should not interfere in the conservation
