Vising:
ority as Doctor Wiley estimates that at least one-quarter of this
is wasted. And this is entirely possible. Notice as you dine at
' restaurants how much untouched food goes back to the kitchen
' -not to feed some poorer mortal but to go out in the garbage.
It seems so perfectly natural for some people to merely play
with a dmner, sending choice cuts of meats and fowls back to
. the garbage can. We waste more than we eat. If the Doctor
fa right, this means a food waste of $1,300,000,000 a year and
the pity is it does no one any good not even the pigs, for they
would thrive better on a less costly diet. One. large country '
hotel a lew years ago lost most of its herd of 300 hogs from
feeding "swell swill.'.' This fntui. if eniwerverL would fe-A nil
the poor. It would build ten battleships. It would buy all the
land m some states: It would par off the national debt in a
le year, It would run the government for, twelve months.
Cure Itself. . r "
The waste of money cures itself, for soon there is no more
to waste. There comes a time when the bank runs dry and
the easy money flows nO more. But this frightful waste of food
can go on year in and year out, and yet we wonder why living
costs are so high.
It takes four years to raise a porterhouse steak, and to send
half of it back to the kitchcjn is an economic crime. If you waste '
a forest, soon the last tree will be cut; If you waste land soon
it will be. barren. If you waste time yeu will never succeed. If
yon waste money, you will soon have no more money to waste,
but you can keep on wasting food until you eat no more, and
wonder why you are poor. Better take inventory of what goes
out in the garbage bucket and see how much you contribute
towards this enormous sum, so big in its proportions that we
fail to grasp its magnitude.
Waste of Money.
In the daily papers conies the story of the downfall of the
widow of a prominent Wall Street man, who twice has been pre
sented to British royalty, lived on Fifth avenue, was a social -leader
and a woman of the four hundred. In the brief six years
thousand dollars and now faces the charge of passing a worth-' 3
less check. She says she has made a "sad mistake," but did the I
-Desi sne Knew now" with her money put it in ill-advised
rbusraess ventures,-invested in doubtful securities and spent the
Of lesser magnitude, but no less trade, is the repent
a wrman woman witn inree cniiaren, who m the short space of
ten weeks has spent (not "invested") the $1,400 received from
her husband's death in an accident During that time she has
visited the savings bank on an average of every other day,
drawing from $25 to $50 each time.
Squander Insurance. . . '
- Another woman" who received a life insurance payment of '
$2,000 wasted her inheritance in two weeks at the races. An-'
other who received $1,000 bedecked herself with jewelry and .
had to go back to the factory in three months. A certain youth
received $2,000 as his share of his uncle's estate, quit work and
lived the high life for a short time, and then' went broke, as
they all do. . , , . .
the only redeeming feature of these processes' is the fact
that the waste of money cures itself, for soon there is no more ,
to waste. The above mentioned individuals have found it out '
It matters not whether the sums be large or small, it seems an
endless amount but a little extravagance every day soon brings
the fund to a state of exhaustion, ;' -y ; -
