Waste
HEN we waste commodities, such as bread, there is a double waste. We waste not only our own money but we waste the work and effort of a number of people who have been responsible for growing the grain, harvesting, milling and carting it-and of the bakers who have made the bread. A study of this very question was made in*the United States of America during the last war. In a very careful investigation a nation-wide survey was made and the average amount of bread wasted in every household daily was discovered. The total wastage was millions of bushels of wheat, which represented the cultivation of thousands of acres of land, tilled by an army of men, driving tractors which consumed gasoline or mules which consumed feed which had to be grown for them.-(A.C.E. Talk, 4YA, September 3.)
