GARBAGE CANS
GROW LEANER
WASTE AT THE PUBLIC EATING
PLACES AND HOMES CON
STANTLN GROWS LESS.

Kansas City. Mo. Feb. THE real
measure Of food conservation is the
garbage can, according to Miss Ida
Shilling, home demonstration to Kansas
City employed by the federal food ad.
ministration and the state college of
agriculture So far as the individual
household, rlItaurant or hotel is con.
cerned, the food in the garbage can
represents waste and only as this has
been reduced have the American people
really effected saving.
In this connection the testimony of
G. Rhea, city garbage contractor here.
who collects or sublets practically all
Of the garbage collecting in Kansas
City, is of interest. only a few of the
larger hotels and restaurants. where
much trash and cnders must also be
removed, employ other firms.
In tonnage of garbage moved now
and year ago, there has been only a
slight falling on he said, But in its
value rs hog feed there has been a de.
crease of about so per cent. Meat and
bread are the chief ingredients or
garbage that fatten hogs and whereas
one Of our tanks holding about 5000
pounds would feed a hundred head OF
hogs day a year ago, it will now feed
only about fifty head.
This garbage | am speaking Of is
from the residence districts The
amounts collected there are about the
same, but there has been decrease of
the tonnage taken from hotels and res
taurants and there the garbage contains
more bread and meat and beans and
makes much better hog feed. But there
is uouceably less of it,"
His statements bear out those of Miss
Shilling. The greatest saving of food,
she believed had been brought about
by the hotels ana restaurants, but that
was because the greatest waste had for.
merly been permitted at these establish
ments
"There is less room for improvement
in the average hcme," she declared, but
conservation must be practiced to
greater extent there. 1t has often been
said that other peoples could live on
what Americans waste. Not only must
we reduce waste but we must see to it
that such waste as there is is not of
wheat, meats or sugar Of which the
nations allies are SO much in need"
