ORGANISATION
No golden syrup is the latest grumble from the housewives. Yes, it is here, plenty of it, but no tins to put it in, so we are told. What nonsense! Every good housewife has always kept her tins—and there are plenty of them—if they were called in. A grocer told me coffee must be put in glass .iars, as old eoflce tins could not be used again— not hygienic, he said. Can they not be sterilised? Why these stupid excuses? They can put preservatives in our food—to the injury of our health—but to use a good clean tin over again is not hygienic. The same with tobacco tins. We have not learnt the first lessons in organising against waste. Let's begin. We can't have much sugar, but we can have golden svrup—call in the tins. RUBY E. WATSON.
