CUTTING LIVING COST.
Editor EI Paso Herald:
have seen lately in your esteemed
paper much discussion OF the high
cost OF living.
Now let us commence on the bread
question Everybody, without excep-
ton, cut off the two short ends of the
leaf and throw them away. Why? Be
cause II is hard? Then why don't you
throw away the top of the bread.
which is harder, or because it is
dirty? Then why don't you cut off the
two long ends and the bottom2 It
is a custom and nothing else You
know how much waste comes from
that2 Let us calculate.
We cut every ten-cent loaf in IL
slices; we throw away two Of them
Now suppose there be 10000 popula-
ton in FL Paso. Take out 10000 Mexi-
cans, who eat the cuts or ends, and
We have remaining $4,000, five per-
sons to family Of 10000 families,
one loaf to family per day, and We
throw away one-sixth of a loaf. which
is equal 10 1856 loaves of bread every
day in FL Paso only Isn't it awful?
The two narrow ends Of the loaf are
as good as the rest, and we should
eat them, especially now when we
expect hard times
Now let US go to another thing In
our coffee or tea we drop four tea
spoonsful Of sugar; We find II bitter
and we drop another spoonful of su-
ear-never stir it-and when we get
through there is an inch of sugar in
the bottom of the cup That much
waste OF sugar is not & necessity but
a custom, as in the waste Of bread.
Here Is the way to sweeten the cof-
fee or tea: Put one spoonful OF SUI
gar, stir and taste it: If It isn't sweet
enough add a little more till II suits
the taste Besides, BY adding too
much sugar, you lose the taste OF tbs
coffee. First quality coffee needs but
little sugar and you see this is an
other huge waste in the consumption
OF the sugar. which we have TO avoid.
The calculation OF the above would
be tremendous.
How about the peeling Of potatoes2
You have TO teach the people how to
peel them Don't let them throw away
the one-fourth instead one-tenth. be-
sides everybody admits that the out
side Of the potato is the best A small
sharp knife will peel the potatoes
fine. It requires more work and pa
thence, too, but saves money.
So far as meals are concerned peo-
pie must learn TO eat some stews, too.
which are cheap-not only ham and
eggs, bacon and steak Hamburger
steak is the cheapest, and a fine meal
too, il you know how to cook it
