Food Wasters Branded as Disloyal to Country by Head of Camp Fire Girls.

That people who waste food are as bad as those who overeat, was the assertion made to Camp Fire girls by Dr. Luther Gulick, national president. Doctor Gulick continued: “We should look upon such persons who are willing as hosts to take the best of the food*on the table, leaving our guests, the allies, to get anything they can, as disloyal to our country.” The list of suggestions for patriotic manners follows: Save and use every scrap of bread or other ■wheat product| use meat or eggs but once a day; use all left-over bits of meat and bones for soup, stews and hashes; use corn In place of wheat to a considerable extent; buy only the food you need; clean out all bread and cake bowls and dishes used for cooking cereals with a spatula; scrub the potatoes and eat the skins; do not have many things to eat at one meal; have only two courses at meals; use rice Instead of potatoes; use rice water for soups; spaghetti and macaroni take the place of potatoes; use the less expensive and more nourishing cuts of meat; use little butter; leave no scraps -on—yow-plate-l—donit—belp-yourself to more than you can eat; when serving food make the portions small; use vegetables which you have raised yourself in your own garden; can all fruits for yourself; in the fall gather all edible nuts.
