Whatl you cont believe us?
Listen, then, to the facts:
The approxim ate total gar
bag collections last August
from twenty-one million people
living in our lar gest cities was
193,357 tons. Now, of course,
part of this garba. &c was legiti-
mate waste. But, say one-tenth
was good food thrown away.
This meaas that the American
food handlers and chiefly Am
erican housewives threw away
1888 tons approximately of
good food, or about four ship
loads. In other words, last Aug
ust they summarized and sank
four shiploads of food. For
what do the Germans care
whether food goes into our gar
bage cans or is sunk in the bot
tom of the ocean so long as it
does not help feed our own sold
iers in France and those fight
ling alongside them?
So, if we continue to throw a.

Are the American women go

This is the question thought
full people are anxiously asking.
And we'll they may, for on the
side that the American women
throw their energies--on that
side will the scales in all proba-
bility tip toward victory. But,
you exclaim, "of course the Am

that they would send husbands,
sons and brothers to fight ag-

they, themselves, turn around

less, it is grim the truth. The
