High cost of living? Why not call
1t the penalty of utter wastcfulness? IL
willful waste does indeed invite woe
full want, then the responsibility for the
present cost of living is national. No
one class OF citizens should be held ac-
countable. All Of us are implicated.
BY our conduct, active and passive,
we waste 10 billion dollars annually:
This means that out of every 81 earned
40 cents counts for naught. Indeed.
II is not unlikely that this amazing
wastage may be even greater rather
than less. And yet we wonder why
turn.
The public must have been shocked
the other day when It learned that the
annual food wastage in New York city
alone amounts to millions of dollars
Indeed. in November the bureau OF
foods and drugs condemned 1,467, 600
pounds of foodstuffs and in 1918 the
shipments received and destroyed be-
cause they were unfit for use totaled
1S,419.000 pounds Of food. Most of
this immense loss was unquestionably
the result of poor methods in packing
on the part of the shippers.

ture estimates that there are 100000
acres Of land in New York state that

PLAN ABANDONED

Peking.-President Ii Yuan Hung
has abandoned his plan to establish Il
council of elders. similar to the elder
statesmen, or genro, in Japan.

Gil was to be created aroused much OPP
~ among the military leaders. who re-
scented the effort to create q special
council Of advisers to be appointed by
the president. The proposed body was
also opposed to by young reformers,
who are unfriendly to many Of the old
er Chinese, who had been suggested as
possible members of the council.
