PRESIDENT TO ATTEND
LABOR SAVING EXHIBIT
Promises to Be Present at Ex-
position Next Week-Inter-
est of Federal Employees.

President Taft today promised Merritt
o. Chance. director Of the United States
Government Exhibition Of Labor-saving
Office Appliances. that he would visit that
exposition early next week.
The President had expected to make a
hurried inspection Of the exhibits at the
Union building this morning. but the
press Of business at the White House and
the fact that he leaves Washington for
Atlantic City this afternoon at o'clock
prevented his attendance.
Mr.. Chance said that the President Is
interested in this. the latest project Of the
commission on economy and efficiency,
and believes 1t will materially aid the
work Of that body.
The enthusiasm Of government clerks
in visiting the exposition in accordance
with the wishes Of the various chiefs of
departments has encouraged the pro-
motors Of the movement. and the sugges-
tions that are expected to result from
the visits Of employees will form a basis
for campaign to lessen LABOR that VIII
continue for months.
It is expected that all clerks who can
be spared will be present at the Union
building for the daily lectures. The lee
ture this afternoon was given by h 3.

Saving Time and Labor.
He told Of tho latest methods to re-
duce cost and to save time and labor
and the questions which were put to
him by clerks brought out many novel
and practical suggestions for the expedi-
ton Of the public business.
Every one Of the $50 exhibitors at
the show has equipped his booth. and
from 10 o'clock this morning. when the
doors opened, the demonstrators were
kept busy explaining In detail the
mechanism and working power Of the
various devices to lessen labor for
clerks.
A machine that is attracting much
attention is the Brandt automatic
cashier. which pays change without re-
curing the operator to handle the
coin.
The various typewriter exhibits are
attracting crowds and each new de-
yelopment, such as automatic tabu-
lators and computers. Is being scruti-
nized by hundreds of men and women
who work In the government service.
MANY Of the exhibitors are distribut-
| ing souvenirs In the shape of unique
samples of the work performed by the
respective devices.

still others place about his shoulders a
magnificent mantle of cloth of gold. A
ring is then placed upon his finger and
the orb and scepter placed in his hands.
Every one now waits with bated breath,

1t is equal to government permission.
There is q considerable consumption OF
horse meat in several OF the continental
European countries, and 1t is quite preva-
total consumption Of this meat in Ger
man Is ~ pounds year per person, as
indicated by the total given above.
With France the average consumption
is placed at eighty-one pounds a year per
person, the most important meat being
veal. In France also the use Of horse
flesh as a food product is quite general,
although the consumption in the aggre-
gate is somewhat less than that for Ger
many. The consumption of this, however,
has been shown to have increased within
the last ten years. and the average
amount consumed per person In set at
slightly over one pound year. In the
case Of veal it Is shown that, especially
in Paris, is the sale of that meat enor-
nous. At the Halles Centrales, the great
distributing market at the French CAPT.
tai, the sale OF veal was found to be alb
normally large in comparison with other
kinds of meats. The daily arrivals at
this market indicated that not far short
of one-haif Of all the meat disposed OF
was veal. Statistics bear this out, as 1t
has been shown by an article In French
statistical journal that of the meat
brought into the market during the year
more than 100 100000 pounds-that al
most 45 per cent was veal. The meat
coming next highest was beef, OF which
there was 81 per cent sold. while but
sevep-odd per cent OF pork was dispos-
ed Of.
In giving the per cent of each meat
eaten per person In the four countries
about which statistics have been given 1t
was found that the Americans lead on
with 20 per cent OF the meat they eat as
being beef. In England the per cent of
that meat reaches but So per cent. de-

THE inhabitants Of the United State.
of America eat more meat thar
- any other nation at least civilized

THE inhabitants Of the United States
of America eat more meat than
any other nation, at least civilized.
in the world. From recent statistics
compiled by the Department of Agri-
culture 1t is shown that the average
person in this country eats 169 pounds
of meat a year. II lard is added along
with the other pork products the average
consumption is increased to 1856 pounds
per person. The United States stands at
the top Of the list of meat-producing
nations.
Next comes England, where the latest
statistics show that the average amount
Of meat eaten is 40 pounds per person.
This has been the average for the past
fifteen years. OF the meat the British
eat 46 per cent. or about two and half
billion pounds year. is imported. This
comes from all quarters of the globe.
The fact that the importation Of meat
into England has increased greatly in
recent years Is accounted for not so much
by the fact that the home supply Ia de-
creasing, but that the total consumption
is increasing. The great improvements
that have been effected in recent years
in the methods of transporting perish
able products, such as meat, have prac-
tically eliminated the question Of distance
between producer and consumer.
To this fact is due an interesting occur
renee which took place last year This
was an importation of pork to London
from Hankow, China. The consignment
consisted of some 5000 frozen carcasses,
and the hogs were stated to have been
specially fed on rice for this trade. The
shipment created a good deal of COM
ment in England and considerable opposi
ton from persons who had heard Of the
unsavory reputation of the native Chi
nese hog. as well as from the trade inter-
ests. The pork arrived in due course
and was admitted subject to q rigid gov
ernmental inspection. The carcasses were
thawed out and examined when required
for the trade and information regarding
the first thousand odd shows that only
0 per cent were condemned. The rest
brought good prices and the pork was
rated as first-class Of it's kind.
Statistics for Germany place the aver
age consumption Of all the meat eaten by
the sons and daughters of that land at
1O4 pounds per person a year. An inter-
esting account Is also given of the num-
Der Of horses which were killed for HUI
man consumption, and also facts regard
ing dogs. More than $4,000 horses and
6OOO dogs were killed in 1907 for human
consumption. So far as is known, Ger
many Is the only country that officially
recognizes the slaughter Of dogs for food.
and as the number before mentioned were
slaughtered under government inspection
