OUR WASTEFUL NATION

The Story of American Prodigality and the Abuse of our National Resources.

By RUDOLF CRONAU.

CONTENTS.

The Land of Inexhaustible Resources—The Destruction of Our Forests—The Waste of Water—The Waste of Soil—The Waste of Our Mineral Resources—The Extermination of Our Game, Fur, and Great Marine Animals—Our Vanishing Birds—Our Decreasing Fish Supplies—The Waste of Public Lands and Privileges—The Waste of Public Money and of Property—The Waste of Human Lives—Conclusion.

One of the weightiest problems before the American nation is here treated in a most impressive manner. Based upon cold facts, the book shows conclusively that our nation suffers, by sheer carelessness and wasteful methods, losses amounting to many hundred millions of dollars annually.

“The book tells a story that is astounding. Some of the descriptions of the past are told in figures so great as to be beyond our comprehension.”

—Word To-Day, Chicago.

“This volume should be read, pondered and re-read by every individual in America who has reached the age of reasoning.”

—Union, New Haven.

“The book is a practical little sermon, much needed in this period.”

—San Francisco Chronicle.

“There are but 134 pages in this book, but within the limited compass there is set forth the most terrific impeachment that was ever laid to the charge of a nation. This little volume should be scattered over the country in tens of thousands.”

—Boston Herald.

“It is a book, that every person should be compelled to learn by heart.”

—Chicago Daily News.
