The steps taken by the warring na-
lions of Europe to preserve the food'
supply for their people is a big ob
ject lesson in the possibilities of more
thrlfity living in the respect, even in
lands that are at peace.
It is said that the Kaiser and Kais-
erin are cutting down the'expenses or
the imperial household and teaching
the German people a lesson in frug-
silty The standard of meals at court
appears to be no higher that that of
many private families in Berlin. Both'
at the front and in the palace in Ber.
hit the Kaiser lives with Spartan sim-
plcityi. A. Mauritanian is_ thick soup,
containing chopped meat. The Kaiser-
in visits the kitchen every day, giving
orders and superintending the cook-
ing. "One cannot live suptuously while
greatest sacrifices,” she is reported to
have said.
While across the water many men',
women and children are on the verge
o! starvation, and in our own country
there are many needy ones, the state-

‘Whot will open the eyes of many of
of our housekeepers to their extrava-
gance? Shall this lesson of the great
war go unlearned? Dont these
housekeepers know that waste is their
budge of lncompetency. 9 The really
scientific cook wastes nothing. Stale
bread, cake, left-overs of meats, po—
tatoes and other vegetables, cold cer-
eals, macaroni. etc., can all be made to ,
reappear in forms quite as appetlzing
as their original ones. So say success-
l'ul housekeepers at any rate, Hus—
bands have not been heard from on
this point.
"In the interests of good taste,
household economy. scholarship and
nuclei relations," says the Spokane
Spokesman Review. “Mothers will do
well to push for a reform of the ex«
9 travagance in school-girls dresses".
What became of that movement to
help the South by wearing more cot
ton dresses?
llauks often take some of their own
medicine and tryto save money. A
country batik about a year ago instal-
led a wastepuper baliiig machine, hav-

much. better price than loose paper. , ’
'Now over half the Janitor's wages
comes trout this source.
The Scientific American sun's:
“The fact that the loss from a leak-
ing water faucet is small should not
lead us to neglect small leaks, because
of disregarding them we tend to be-
come sloveiily in all things. Further-
more. small leaks do not remain small.
The constant leakage of faucets wears;
small passages through the seats and
makes tightness impossible. The next
thing then i a new faucet with the ac-
'comanying plumber's bill, which is
, notoriously not small."
. Acordlng to the United States
pmrtment of Agriculture, the waste
produced in the process of canning sal-
, man is estimated to be from 25 to 50
per cent. of the original weight of the
fish and over $2,000,000 is the value
of this wasted annually on the Pacific
Coast, The department suggests that
conueries might advantageously dis-
pose of their waste y manufacturing it
into fertilizer or fish meal for poultry"
or cattle feeding.
‘A report comes from Puget Sound
