MIND THE MILK BOTTLE

Sometimes, you know, in these days
women are so taken up with the big
sort of war work outside that they
forget the little war work that might
be taking place within their own
homes. or. to I've quite specific. right
on their own back door steps
What enthusiastic war worker
thinks it is worth while to inquire
about the milk bottles in her own
house,? Yet that woman of sense
and public spirit now would not do
her bit toward keeping down the
price OF milk? Nothing could be more
laudabIe it would SCENT when one
considers that milk is the food of
small children and that because milk
has gone so high in price in Europe
the morality among children and
ba bies has been greatly increased
It has recently been pointed out
that the high cost of milk bottles is
one OF the contributing factors toward
the increase in the price of milk. II
every housewife made 1t her solemn
duty to see that the milk bottles were
got back into the hands of the milk
dealer then automatically the price
OF milk would go down. But at pres
rather pay more, and would rather
force those who can i'll afford to pay
more. than take the ounce OF proven
ton and care that would he needed
to preserve the bottles. Some of the
bottles are ruthlessly broken. Others
are thrown into refuse, and others
be IL whispered-are calmly with
drawn from circulation by housewives
who feel convinced that quart
milk bottle makes an ideal container
for tomato catsup or other home made
preserves.
Not long ago il was discovered in a
small suburban town that two milk
companies lost usually about eight
hundred bottles week. and that these
bottles cost the companies about Z
cents apiece Needless to say. since
the milk companies are not charit-
able associations. 1t is the consumer.
and the buyer Of milk who pays the
bill.

are the selfish owners who will not

campaign, who allow their engine;
to run idle at the curb even in warm
weather when a single push of the
starting button will serve to save n
Eatlon OF gasoline a day; who drive
"thout regard for the rights of 9th
ers' who take criminal chances in the
endeaVor to pass car on the wrong
side OF the road on blind turn or

nights and days hideous in peaceable
communities through the absolutely
unnecessary use of that one remain
ing evil of the modern motor car the

Such motorists are a menace to the
safety, comfort and happiness. not
only OF other automobile owners. but
also or the public at large. They are
not reached with sufficient severity
through the long arm of the law. but
why could not each traffic officer. or

tne revocation for a stated period of
the license of any driver whose car is
round idling at the curb for more
