a scrap or crust of stale bread is
wasted. Instead of that it comes
to the table 10 palatable and healthy
form.
In many households not a scrap
of fats or of meat is wasted. 1t is
all utilized, Cooks who in times
past thought they could cook any
thing cookable and do that work to
the queens taste, have learned new
lesson in cookery, have learned to
prepare new dishes not whit less
palatable than the old-in fact,
more palatable in many instances,
and the ingredients are largely OF
material that was formerly wasted.

Well, no, it has not altogether

upon the minds of the people of the
United States. or perhaps we might
better say since it has been impress

must be conservation of the food

Hoover, whatever may have been
his shortcomings, whatever mistakes
he might have made, if he has
made mistakes we are not saying
that he has or has not-belongs
largely the honor of having put a
check to wastefulness of food by
the American people.
Time was when. scraps of stale
bread and left over fragments of
meat went to the refuse can or to
the swill barrel, the latter, not being
altogether wastaee if the swill was
utilized; in fact, time was when in
many families enough Of this

food products was daily wasted, 10

The merchant who does not make
advertising as much part of his
business as buying goods is not
modern in his methods. 1t is just
as important that the people should
know what he has to sell as it is for
him to have the goods on the shelf.
And it is noticed that the man who
doesn't let the people know usually
keeps the goods on his shelf.

In boarding school not so very
far from Kansas City an unique
method for conserving sugar is used.
There is no rule against the use of
sugar, but when the table is set for
any meal beside the full bowl is
placed an empty one. and the girls
have the privilege of using sugar or
putting the amount they would use
into the empty bowl. 1t is said TO
be surprising how effectively the
eloquence of the empty bowl ap-
peals. The sugar thus saved is put
in a large receptacle, and when it
is full, it is sent to a soldiers camp
in which the school is particularly
interested.
