Waste Prevention.

Il needed none risen from the dead
nor even a very much alive Herbert
Hoover, to tell us Americans that waste
has always been, nationally, our beset-
ting sin. A bad habit so firmly fixed is
not easy to reform. but the only way
to end it is TO begin to try. The late
John Sherman said that the way to re
sumo specie payments was to resume;
the analogy holds perfectly good.
To-day we hear Of two channels
through which concerted effort viii bring
good results in this matter Of the pre-
vention Of food waste, which Is the pri-
mary manifestation Of our traditional
failing. The hotel keepers and the
churches now announce programmes cal

The church campaign has its start in
where q committee repre-
-entiug virtually every denomination in
the United states has been in consults-

Every new force that is placed in the
line against the Germans is subjected to
a furious attack by the Germans. 1t
was so in the Newport region in Bel
GUM, where new British forces replaced
the French marines who had held the
line ever since the German advance to
ward Paris was stopped in the first year
of the war. II will be so when the
American army takes its position some
where in the long line from the North
sea TO Switzerland General Pershing
may expect to receive a tremendous bsp-
tism of fire just as soon as the German
forces learn that he and his men are op-
posing them. Such an attack seems to
be the usual method Of the Germans to
endeavor to intimidate the new soldiers.

GARBAGE COLLECTION.

The Times would like TO emphasize the
| statement OF the health committee oil
the city council that all householders
who wish TO have refuse moved from
their premises should determine the ex'
act days ON which collections are to be
made and that the refuse should not be
placed on the curbing until the evening
before the collections. Since the gar
bage collection system has been In vogue
in Barre there have been numerous in
stances in which unsightly piles OF waste
materials have been allowed to stand on
the sidewalk because, perhaps, OF irregu-
larity of collections or because the house
holders were not aware OF the stated
time Of the passing OF the collection
teams. Oftentimes these piles of old
materials have remained on the side
walks, or next to the eurbing, for days
at time, lending a decidedly untldy
and slothful appearance to those parts
of the city. If householders become ia
miliar with the schedule of collection
and ii the collectors maintain that SEIZED
ule it will be possible TO reduce the time
in which the piles of waste material re
main in the public thoroughfare TO the
minimum. All will agree that this would
work great improvement.

lily is accomplishing in saving necessities.
Pastors are to be asked to keep their
congregations constantly alert to their
duty of food saving, Systematic weekly
reports are to be made upon cards in
form suitable for filing and detailed sug-
gestions as to meatless and wheatless
meals and meals made from left-overs
are included in the plan; ii is only rea.
sonable to expect that intelligent people
will be glad to follow these hints, which
are the result Of an enormous aggrega-
tion of expert knowledge and experience.
The work Of the hotel keepers has its
handspring here in New York, in a sug
gested scheme OF action offered to Mr.
Hoover by the New York City Hotel as
ISOLATION. The plan has been laid out
along lines suggested by him in various
announcements, and in
cludes the use of certain percentage
of other than wheat -four in the bread
served; bread and butter service Of uni.
form weight the elimination Of beef
from the menu on one day in each week
besides Friday; the encouragement of
the use Of sea food and fresh vegetables
and fruits; encouragement of the serv-
ice of veal, lamb and sucking pig and
OF fresh pork; broiling, roasting. brais-
ing and stewing to be encouraged, and
frying discouraged to conserve butter
and lard.
Various other easy and obvious details
appear in the plan, all of which are in
telligent and reasonable and point to the
end desired. We suspect that public at
Lention need only be called to these pro.

this work JEFF" has heart as big as

CURRENT COMMENT
Not a Fair Comparison.

The worst tommy-rot in the way of
comparisons is to put Nevada at the
head of the war service honor list and
Vermont at the bottom. As a matter OF
fact, with its National Guard organiza
ton Of over 1000 men, several hundred
men in the navy, nearly 200 in the regu-
lar army, and numerous Others in va
rious branches Of service Vermont has
furnished more men for war due in pro
portion to population than Nevada, and
in fair count is in the front rank OF
the patriotic states Of the nation. Ne
pada has no National Guard and all its
men who enlisted are accredited to the
regular army -Brattleboro Reformer.

With the st. Adams Messenger, we
regret that the contingent OF New York
state hotel men who visited several
places in Vermont recently did not ex'
tend their visit TO some other we'll known
cities and towns other than the few that
were called on. The st, Adams eontem'
porary remarks that they would have
found a comfortable lodging in one of its
hotels; and we say that the men from
New York would have found hotel in
Barre that measures up to the best
standards OF New England. So, II the
New Workers were simply out looking
up good hotels in Vermont they sighted
some of the best prospects along that
line.

II the entente allies have any prayers
to offer they should direct them to the
god of industry in Russia, that Russian
munition shops shall continue to turn
out all the materials which the brave
Russian armies need for the continuation
of their great offensive in Galicia Shells
and then more shells are needed. There
is no lack of Russian soldiers to sweep
Austria Hungary off the war map and
threaten the same for Germany.

The official figures of regular army
enlistments in Vermont, as given out in
Washington, do not square with the fig
ures sent by the war department to Ad-
iutant General Lee S. TilIotson of the
Vermont military department. There is
quite discrepancy between IS and 205,
the respective figures; and the reason for
the difference ought to be explained by
the war department.

Beside Of what Barre has already done
in contributing men for war service. the
draft quota of 65 men tunofficiail seems
a comparatively light sacrifice. II is
probable that well toward 200 Barre men
are already in the service OF the United
States, to say nothing Of the many who
have enlisted from time to time in the
Canadian and English armies Il has
been said that voluntary snlistments
prior to the operation Of the draft would
count to the credit Of . community in the
draft itself In Barre's case the volun
tsry enlistments surPass the unofficial
draft quota By considerable margin.
