TO REDUCE WASTE

Mrs. Helen H. Downing, prominent lecturer and teacher of home econo- mics offers the folliwng practical thoughts on one phase of conversa- ton.
 Paper is at "a premium in this coun- try and as a means of reducing waste the fuel administration has decided to prohibit it's use in various ways.
 The necessary wrapping of food will be prohibited it is announced. Useless editions of books, the packing of candy in paper and the making of paper toweling also will be abandon ed.
 This indirectly points to the fact that if you buy package foods, or foods in cartons or tins you are sav- ing the paper which necessarily must be used on bulk foods. Every woman who has opened and put away bulk butter and lard knows there is also "a waste of food in this plan of bulk buying.
 This again may be lead to the ques- tion asked by few, Are not bulk foods cheaper to purchase, because one is not paying for can. etc.? "Ev- cry woman should be able to answer that for herself. Package foods even when the ycost one, two, or even three cents more 9 ponund are more practi- cal and cheaper in the end, because of their absolute cleanliness, better fla vor. uniform weight, and elimination of waste.
 "We don't care whether they wrap our packages or not" said promin- ent club woman in attendance at one of my lectures recently. "In fact we are proud to let the labels show when we are buying quality products and are glad to carry packages home un- wrapped if it will any in winning the war. If the saving of paper is patriotic we can be counted Ito help it along every way"
 Of course we all realize now that we must be saving in the use of all commodities so as to release all labor employed in the making of non-essen- tials. These workers can speed up production of food. clothing and munitions and so hasten the end of the conflict.

'sFlu" Invades Patterson Home
 "J. B." applies to both the
 Josep B. and Joy B. Patterson
 families-and they've all got it,
 some better and some worse. It
 started when Joy B. returned
 last week Saturday from a visit to his brother Don, who was con fined in the military hospital at Salt Lake City with influenza. Don has recovered, but Joy, dur ing his brief stay with him, con tracted the disease, and now the home of the senior J. B. Patter- son, where Joys entire family, his mother and two sisters, Elm fly and Amy, making a grand total of nine, are victims of the flu, has become a sure enough hospital. Jay Patterson is in charge, and seemingly equal to a full medical corps with nurses included. Jay fought the flu in his own home at Holbrook for two weeks, at the same time de feating his opponent for county treasurer, and last Sunday he de- cided it was time to knock off and run over home for a little rest and vacation. Though he came with such good intentions, he is probably willing to admit that there is no rest for the wicked. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Earl Patterson, has been his right hand assistant, and others of course have done their best to relieve the situation. There s no reason to suppose that the whole family will not recover md be around as usual in a few lays.-St. Johns Observer.
