How simple it is! We had been walking around around the food-problem, looking up at it, measuring the size of it, bumping our heads against the hardness of it, and almos despairing of solving it. Experts and authorities were working at it. Increased production, they said. Back-yard gardens; intensive cultivation; co-operation in the use of vacant land. These were practical and valuable sug- gestions, and we took them up feverishly. And still the problem was not solved! America faced the fact that with the ut most possible production, her own tremen dous consumption would leave a surplus about as useful in the emergency as a shot- gun at Vimy ridge. And right then the big idea was born. Our own tremendous consumption! How much do we really consume—and how much do we waste? Who can control the waste? WOMEN! Enroll the women of America in an Army Against Waste! It’s so simple it makes the studies of the experts look funny; but it has hit the com- mon sense of the people. The “Waste Ed:- tor” of The Star began to receive signed “enlistment cards” as soon as the plan was explained; and they are coming in faster —_— - -_ - —— ant THE SEATTLE STA 120T Seventh Ave. Near Unies St. OF SCRIPTS NORTHWEST LEAGUR OF NEWSrarens Peleuraph News Service of the United Prees Association Batered at Seattic, Wash.

The seeretary of STAR—MONDAY. is in the hands of agriculture recently stated that the experts in his department estimated the food waste in this country as reaching the enormous total in value $700,000,000. Think of it! a year! There are a hundred million people about 29,000,000. familie this country The food waste a family. 10 per cent of the Nearly three-quarters a billion dollars’ worth of food wasted ot of in in averages about $35 This probably is upward of food purchased or grown by the average family. “Of course, the waste in of families very limited means is slight,” says the secre tary, “but in the families of moderate and ample means the waste is considerable. As a nation we seem to have a disdain of econ- omizing. In many homes there is a strong feeling that it is only decent to provide more food than will be eaten and that it is de- meaning to reckon closely.” Now. we know that is true, don’t we? If ve will be perfectly honest with ourselves 1 good many of us w ill have to admit that what the secretary says comes mighty close to describing our own state of mind.

Food conservation is one of the vital clements in the tremendous problem that now confronts the nation. “WASTE NO FOOD!” This should be our motto from today until the end of the war. Remember that food is wasted: —When we eat more than our bodies need for growth and repair and to supply energy for our work —When food is burned or spoiled in cooking— —When too much food is prepared for a meal When too much food is served at a meal— —When anything edible is allowed to go to the garbage pail or allowed to spoil for lack of proper handling— —When food is handled carelessly.
