Policing the Waste.

The housewife in England who i:
found throwing away an edible slice OF
bread may be imprisoned or fined as
much as 5000. There are similar fines
for wasting eggs by making cake that is
too rich, for wasting sugar in frostings
and for feeding crumbs to canary.
In France the baking of pastry or bis
cults from flour that is fit for bread is
prohibited. The person who is found
eating pastries in public eating place
is liable To- Imprisonment or fine.
But in America the housewife is put
on her honor to conserve food and abol-
ish extravagant habits. She is her own
policeman.
A shining example of how quickly and
enthusiastically the housewives of Amer
lea have responded to this honor system
in conserving food is to be found in the
garbage collection in the principal cities
of the country. The last November gar
bage collection was IL per cent lower
than the November collection of 1916.
The housewives of Galveston, Tex, broke
the record for any individual city by re-
ducing their garbage collection to two
thirds less than what it was last No.

This shows what splendid results may
be obtained when American women once

hardly woman in the country now who
has not stopped the leaks in her kitchen

wheat.
Whenever wheat -four is used when
rye, corn meal, or barley might have
been substituted for it either in whole
or in part, the wheat is being wasted |
almost as much as if it were thrown into
the garbage can. At any rate it isn't !
going to feed soldier as il should.
This applies to the making OF cakes, |
buildings, and pastry as well as to the
making of bread. 1t is unfair for any
lousekeeper to make these more or less
,ancy dishes out of all wheat and so use
up the -four that her neighbor is care
ully saving by eating Victory bread.
Ii is unnecessary on the other hand
o give up cakes and puddings altogether
or all of these may be made with com

ion of wheat, or as many ingenious
lousekeepers have already found, they

Then comes the shadow of the terrible
tragedy that is hanging over us. and the
sacrifices that we mothers may be called up

comes the startling news that that terrible
menace, the submarine, has reached our

all end, although feel confident that victory
