DON'T WASTE GOOD FOOD

Scarcely secondary 10 the produce
tlon Of food is that OF making the
best possible use OF that produced.
Many families in country and city
alike waste more food than they eat.
They may justify themselves by
saying that the pigs, chickens, dogs
or cats will get il, but this is a poor
Use To make Of something so valua-
BILE as human food when such a
crisis faces the world as does now.
The pigs and chickens should only
get chance at the food when peo-
pie have used all they can Of it.
Food should be cooked in such
quantities that the waste will be
small
However, with the best OF manage
ment some food will accumulate
that is III only for pigs or chickens.
In every possible case some hogs or
poultry should be kept to make use
Of this. Nothing should be thrown
away that could be used to help in
crease the worlds food supply.
Nothing is more important than this
strict economy that will make what
We have 90 as far as possible.
II all Of the people Of our nation
would make the supreme effort TO
help their country by giving up
their servants when the call comes,
millions would be set free TO help
in munition plants. in helping in
taking care Of wounded. in necessary
manufacturing interests. to help in

War is no frolic and no duty that
can be delegated to paid army, but,
on the scale that il is being waged
in Europe. it is a gigantic. supreme
struggle Of nations Of people in
which all from the lowest to the

fort TO save their civilization. As

actively that must be the spirit.

HOW DID you FIGHT

o, troubles ton, or a troubles an
ounce,
Or trouble is what you make ii,
And il isn't the fact that you're hurt

But Only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well,
well, what's that?
Come up with a smiling face,
It's nothing against you to fall down

But TO lie there-that's disgrace
The harder you're thrown, why, the

HOW MUCH FOOD STUFF IS USED
IN MAKING LIQU0Rf

1896 bushels; Barley, ii,232,599
bushels. This amounts to total If
2,26O, 266,ii6 pounds.
These seem to be the latest posi-
tive figures available. The ma
terials used in 1916 may be estimat-
ed as follows, though there is
possible margin for error. The pro-
duction G fermented liquors for
the year 1900 was 3s,64l,58i barrels.
BY 1916 il has risen to 58,633,62i
barrels (see Report of Commission
err Of Internal Revenue for 1916, p.
ii5). The production increased 5i.8
per cent. Assuming an increase OF
at least fifty per cent in materials
used, we get 3,39O,2i9 pounds.
Combining the figures for the
manufacture Of fermented liquors
and distilled spirits, we get a total
Of 6,99i,3ii,i35 pounds Of grain and
molasses.
This omits all minor ingredients
and says nothing about the fruit
and glucose used in the production

The Significance Of the whole
Natter
However, the significance of the
whole matter lies in this:
The minimum estimate places
the waste at approximately if,0OO.-
600 loaves of bread a day and 1t is
probable that the waste is at least
100000 loaves a day. There is
no getting around that fact. The
waste Of grain in making liquor
cannot be minimized. II the entire
amount Of food destroyed in making
liquors each year were saved, the
people would secure ten per cent.

cessory to sustain life. That bare
fact is all the people need on which
to base opinions and actions.
