Somewhat Disappointing.

The Food Administration ac-
knowledges that the nation has con-
sumed more food during the period it
has had charge of food affairs than
during the previous year. The task
Of changing the food habits of a peo-
pie has proved a bigger business than
was anticipated although it has had
loyal support, and has produced
some rather unexpected results. The
increa sed consumption indicates the
extent to which both men and women
have taken up new activities. We
insist, and rightly, that the food
needs of the Army must supersede all
others, and that our fighting men
must not be compelled to submit to
any radical change in quantity or
quality. But neither can labor afford
a change that upsets the physical
quilibrium.-Detroit Free Press.
! 1t does seem an irony that a nation
of 100 million people necessarily ex-
horted and constantly trying to
SAVE, should actually consume more
food in a given period than ever be-
fore. But is it surprising from the
experiences of a year in your home,
friend reader? Have you not wasted
in trying to save?
To be sure you have consumed less
of some necessities, but have used,
and wasted, more of another to fill
the place of the first. To say moth

has not the years culinary exper-
ence been costly in food valueso
Haven't many cooking attempts been
, failures and largely wasted? We have
been led to think so from converse
tons overhead on cars and from lit
tie groups of women wherever con-
gregated.
Because Of labor problems, high
rents and fuel prices many families
in every city and large town have
taken up homes in hotels, boardinr
houses, or are taking meals at
restaurants where waste is greater
than in the average home.
