Any wilful waste is unpatriotic and is in fa vor of the Germans. It is our pa triotic duty to avoid all waste. Yet, for some reason, the offi cials lack the backbone to strike the real, most hurtful and use less waste. Mr Hoover asks us to have meatless days aud wheat less days, but never says anything about tobaccoles days. It w a shame and a Bin to waste food when thousands are suffering, and our boys who are stepping in between our homes and kui- seriHin, to be supplied, and our allies to be aided. All true Amer icans will quickly adopt the most economical methods possible and help out in this time of need. But it does -look a little bad to ask the bard working farmer t cat les of the food he makes while many a less useful fellow goes abou t. on the fool's end of a cigar or cigarette, and pollutes the air with tobacco smoke. More money is wasted on the filthy wed than i spent for edu cation. Why not quit tobacco; at least until the war is over, Save the millions thus wasted, s we the manhood, brains and nerves uselessly sacrificed to the filthy tyrant, and turn the vast aires that grow it into profita b!e tMds of grain, and turn the vast amount of labor that is us man. Whiskey has gone to stay, and may God hasten the time when tobacco will go. 1 know it is unpopular just now to make any attack upon tobacco, but it is time we were waking up to the greatness of this evil waste, and begin to economize in the light manner.
