PEER INTO GARBAGE CANS
Food Administrator H. L. BuIlamore
Has Committee at Work Seeking to
Stop Waste of Food Products in Ke-
nosha Homes and Eating Houses.

"And the COLLINS win get you, Eff
you don t watch OUT
Food commissioner Henry L. Bulla-
more started out this morning to study
the patriotism of the Kenosha gar
bage can and if you see a man round
the back door peering into your gar
bage can you had better be careful
not to have it too full. You are not
speets the garbage can may have
few things to say to you about being
wasteful at time when every pos
sible effort is being made to conserve
the food supply of the nation.
Price fixing is only one of the du-
ties Of the food administration in Ke-
nosha county. Another function is the
elimination of waste and a systematic
movement to educate the people
against waste is being started today.
The committee in charge of this edu-
cation of the people is composed of DR..
w. E. Nelson, food inspector of the
city, James H. Karnes and John Elan
nigan. Food Administrator Bullamore
is authority for the statement that
these men know the difference be-
tween a conservation garbage can and
these men know the difference be
have been given full power to go as
far as they like in looking over garbage
al
walton with the contents of the gar
bage can as the text.
These men are going to visit every
hotel and restaurant to begin with.
They are going to talk with the pro-
prietor first and with the cook next.
They are going to see if every bit of
waste that has been charged up
against the Kenosha hotels and rest
aurants can not be eliminated. They
want to have bread pudding made out
of the stale bread made delicacy on
Kenosha tables again. They want to
see to it that hash is served more fire.
quently and that the hash is made suf-
ficiently attractive to make it desired
instead of dreaded They have a lot
Of information that they can give to
the hotel and restaurant men in regard
to the utilization Of the waste pro-
ducts and they can tell them where
they can get more information along
these lines.
F'My committee is going to tackle
the hotels and restaurants first" said
Mr.. Bullamore today. "This is a big
job, but the men viii get through with
it in a few days and then they will
give their attention to waste in indi-
vidual homes of the city. We feel
convinced that the lesson of saving
can be brought nearer to a lot of peO-
pie in the city and that lot of peo-
pie viii be willing to receive it in the
patriotic way in which it is offered.
This committee may have to be little
nosey but it also plans to be lot
helpful. am hopeful that the women
of Kenosha will give us some consid-
Grafton. The elimination of waste is
more important to them than to any
one else and we want them to look at
the work of the committee as work
that is directed toward their benefit
and not as an interference into the
routine of the Kenosha kitchen. We
are going to suggest. We have no
power to cut out waste more than by
patriotic suggestion and we feel GER
tain that in most of the homes of Ke-
nosha this will be all that s neces-
sary."
The work of the committee will
probably be extended over several
weeks and it is the plan of the mem
bers of the committee to carry the slo-
gan "Save at home and win the war
abroad" to every household in Keno
sha. Later on the message viii be car
ried to the homes again by members OF
the woman g committee connected by
the Council of Defense.
