Decreased Consumption of Meat.

The Washington Herald In a recent
editorial said: What was a fad threatens
TO become a change In national taste.
Many who tried the experiment OF get
ting along without meat. substituting
other food values in their diet, have
found the result eminently satisfactory.
Physicians declare that among the fam
lies they visit, the decrease in the con-
sumption of meat has become marked"
When a year ago the price of meat
scared so high as TO place It out Of the
reach Of families with small incomes, a
movement against it's use was started,
and a number Of newspapers published
lists OF foods that served as good substi-
tutes FOR meat at much smaller cost
AT the time the movement was regarded
as an absurd experiment or agitation,
and the meat packers sneered at It; but
IL appears that the experiment has not
proved a failure.
The New York Journal OF Commerce
declares that the anti-meat movement
has been successful 1t says the smaller
packers are feeling the contraction Of
trade more severely. and their complaints
are becoming more pronounced from
week TO week. The most conspicuous
factor in the present situation" it adds,
because it is likely to be more lasting
is the pro rata decrease in consumption. ."
II is also said that in the restaurants
OF New York the use Of meat for break
fast has practically ceased. and families
that formerly had meat twice or three
times a day now have II only once a
DAY, and find that they have not suffered
in any way by cutting down the con-
sumption. The era Of high prices. II
seems. has served to show the people
that there are some things they can do
without and still find life enjoyable
In Washington there is a great reduc-
ton in the amount Of meat used by fam
lies, and there is said 70 be a consequent
Improvement in health as attested by
physicians.
This Is the way TO solve the problem
Of the high price OF meat. Use less Of It.

1895 the three went back 10 Venice. Some
years after this Marco Polo was taken
prisoner by the Genoese, and II was
through his captivity that we have the
valuable stories Of his travels. In the
prison at Genoa was a man from Pisa
who had a taste for writing and had
rewritten some Of the old French ro-
mances. He persuaded Marco 10 relate
his stories to him, and he wrote them
down, in reality at dictation.
Marco Polo married into the Loredano
family Of Venice. one OF the proudest in
the republic. In the library Of St Mark.
where so many treasures are preserved,
there is the last viii and testament OF
this notable son Of Venice The date is
January 9. 1924. and he asked TO be
buried In the Church Of San Lorenzo.
where he had erected a tomb FOR his
father. This family tomb was destroyed
in 1892, when the church was rebuilt
Some years ago there was found IN
Venice a catalogue OF the curiosities and
valuable articles in the house Of Marine

BY FLAsHLlcHT

Good flashlights may be taken with
either flashlight sheets, cartridge or
bottled powder. The fiashlight cart
ridge has fuse, while the sheet flash
light is operated by pinning one of the
sheets up against the wall on piece
of cardboard and lighting the corner.
The fiashlight should be placed about
two feet behind and level with the cam
era Place a card behind the fiashlight
to act as a reflector. When ready to
take the picture the camera shutter
should be left open as for time ex-
posture. When the flash sheet Is light
ed there will be bright flash, which
instantly impresses the picture on the
film. Close the shutter Immediately af-
ter the flash.
In making single portraits or groups
care should be taken to have a suitable
background, so that the figures will
stand out in relief. AS a general rule
backgrounds should be light.
When more than one fashlight is to
be taken the doors and windows should
be opened for few mintes after each
flash to allow the smoke and fumes to
escape. AS the flash sheets are slower
than the cartridges it is a good plan
to impress upon the sitters the neces-
sity of keeping still during the expos
ure.
Flash powder comes in bottle form.
Always use q spoon or measuring cup
for powder. Never pour the powder
directly from the bottle into the pan.
Never use fiashlight powder in mag
azine lamp.
A well lighted room is the best for
portrait work, provided the rays OF
light do not strike the lens. When the
room is darkened before the flash the
sitters invariably have strained, star
ing look, due to the sudden contrast
from darkness to vivid light. If, ON
the other hand, the room was lighted
before, the eyes would look normal and
the picture would be more pleasing.
When the room is well illuminated
keep the cap on your lens until you
are ready for the flash. Then take the
cap off quickly and make the flash, put
ting the cap on the instant the hash
is over
