When we learned how to separate

Therefore we used and wasted paper
as we used and wasted food-reck-
lessly. The family rag bag, on which
the paper industry OF the country had
previously rested, disappeared. Rags
were still needed for tho manufacture
of writing paper. but we imported
them. Altho Europe found 1t worth

ORIGINAL MATERIALS SCARCE

Housewives, save your rags; also
your waste paper. This appeal. is
sued n year ago by the bureau OF for-
eign and domestic commerce, is more
urgent than ever today. We are now
at war and both wod and rags are
war materials. Every puff of ~
centimeter gun dissipates whole baia
of cotton into thin air; therefore we
cannot afford to waste shred OF cot
ton fiber.
Wood Needed Elsewhere.
Wood is needed in enormous quanti-
ties to shore up trenches, for tenn
porary buildings, and to replace yes
sells sunk by submarines.
The better quality of wooden rags
can be reduced to their original fibers
and used. in combination with new
material, to clothe the troops. Both
the British and Canadian governments
have appealed to their women citi-
zens to save every scrap of these pre-
cious materials. The American women
will not lag behind in patriotism.
But let not the saving end with the
war! As n nation we have been reck-
lessly extravagant in our use of paper
and our waste of paper materials. lf,
as the result of these distressful days
we succeed in acquiring more frugal
habits. they will not have been alto
gether in vain.
Most of us have been In the habit Of
thinking of this Indispensable and
ubiquitous material as something that
happens of its own accord. like air or
water But, as a matter of fact, 1t Is
only within the memory of persons not
yet very old that 1t has been possible
to speak of a "scrap of paper" as the
most triflng of human products. And
