SAVE THE TIN.

Every mother of small boys and
girls must be aware that there is a
demand for old tinfoiI abroad in the
land. The youngsters go about with
sharp eyes to find the tinfoiI wrap
pings of packages of tea, or cheese. or
chocolate or anything else that is
packed in this way. This is one way
TO save tin and a very good one.
butanother way and a better way
because the process saves something
else besides TINS the way of the
housewife who makes it a rule of her
household not to use any timed fruit
or vegetables.
In the civil war patriotic house,
wives all over the land devoted hours
and days to canning and preserving
and drying fruits and vegetables for
the men in the army and there have
been not few women in this crisis
who have volunteered TO bestow the
product of their canning and preserv-
ing on the government for the Army.
Although realizing the splendid pa
triotism that lies behind such offers
it has been necessary for the authori-.
ties to refuse all such offers. 1t would
be dificult in the first place to as
sembie small contributions; much Of
1t would not be in suitable condition
for shipping. There would be a lack
of uniformity about it that would
render it unsuitable. And it would
really be a piece of false economy. If
the housewives will just make the
resolve to depend on their own out
put for canned fruits and vegetables
they can do just as much as though
1t were possible for them to send
their things direct to the Army. More-
over. when you use a jar of your own
making. you are eliminating any
transportation between the factory
and the place of. consumption.
If you have canned fruits of your
own growing or nearby growing Won
have further eliminated transporta.
tion. By being able to get through
the winter months without using any
timed goods you will be doing just
the same thing as contributing that
many cans Of goods to the Army. You
will be conserving tin. for your owa
supply can be put up without tin and
for the most part in jars and other
containers that you already have on
hand -7as - es-
A great many housewives-and IN.
fortunately many whose own farmh
and gardens yield abundant supply Of
vezetab bles in the summer-dependf for
winter vegetables largely on factory
canned goods. This should not occur
this winter. The price that timed
vegetables will cost would probably
Of itself help to eliminate the pracs
tice. but even when YOU can wen af-
ford It you should avoid it. So before
you experience any more regrets thai
you are not able to do something
great and glorious for your country
stop and reflect that by putting upN
enough fruits and vegetables for your
own supply You are doing something
that Will contribute in q very real and
splendid way to the feeding of the
Army.
