Says What a Person Eats Is Largely
Matter of Habit and Can Easily
Be Remedied-Sees No Hope for
Cheaper Live Stock Despite Big
Corn Crop.
Chicago, Sept. 9.-The American
diet will have to be reconstructed.
We must completely revise our habits
OF eating. Beans, peas, rice and
sauerkraut will have to form larger
part OF the day-to-day menu and there
will have to be at least a semi-boy.
colt on meat.
James A. Patten, multi-millionaire
board of trade man, came home from
Europe convinced that drastic meas.
ures, such as the above, will be neces-
sary If the high cost of living is to be
reduced. Mr.. Patten spent two months
touring Norway, France and Germany.
IF the weather continues favorable
this country will raise a very large
corn crop, but 1t is unfortunately true
that if the enormous crop promise is
fulfilled it will have little effect on the
present very high prices of meat" he
observed. 1T will take two or three
bumper corn crops in succession to
bring back cheap meat
''But in spite of this unfavorable
feature the high cost of living can be
greatly lowered If the average Ameri.
can would only change his habits of
eating. We Americans should eat
more vegetables and less meat. We'd
be just as well off physically and bet.
ter off financially"
Mr.. Patterns Mode of Living.
Mr.. Patten then confided what he
himself had for breakfast Nearly all
the time | was abroad | made oat-
meal the mainstay of my breakfast" /"
he said. Two boiled eggs and coffee
completed the meal. Not a shred of
meat, and ! felt just as well satisfied
as If / had high priced bacon or some
chops"
Here is Patterns philosophy of eat
ing:
What man eats is largely what a
man thinks he has to have. We as a
nation think We have got to have
meat, and lot of it. We can change
that idea If We would. 1t is all a mat
ter of habit.
"Of course, there are other ways of
lowering the cost of living. Personal
ly, am inclined to think that the tar
III on farm products should be reduced.
not merely to cheaper foods, but to
insure our getting enough food. /
think the time is coming when we
shall not raise enough live stock for
our own consumption"

TWO GUNB0ATS TO BE
BUILT AT MARE ISLAND
Orders for a Sister Ship to the
Monocacy Are Received
From Washington

VALLEJO, August IA sister
ship to the gunboat Monocacy will be
built at Mare Island. Telegraphic or
ders to begin work were received
from Washington this morning. Both
gunboats will be used in Chinese wa
terS.
: With two ships to be built instead
of one, the cost of each viii! be les
sened by distribution of the overhead
charges, and the estimate of Sal 900
for the Monocacy was so much lower
than the nearest private bid-$211,-
600 by a Seattle firm-that an inves-
tigation was demanded and made.
Authorization for the gunboat just
ordered was made by Congress in
1895. Great Britain objected under
the treaty of 1912, to the use of the
gunboat on the Great Lakes, as was
planned, and after fourteen years the
appropriation has now been let.

KANSAS FOR INCREASED FARM
PRODUCTION.
A. RICKAR1
Market Correspondent

Kansas, which has been a very pro-
ductive state ever since it was plac-
ed on the map, is getting ready to
make two things grow where only
one grew before. A statewide con-
ference, known as the Kansas Agri-
cultural and Industrial Congress, will
be held in Hutchinson, November 10
and 20, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the best methods for increasing
the productiveness Of the soil. Dele
gates will be selected from every
township in the state, from the farm
ers' societies, commercial and manu-
featuring organizations, railroads and
women's clubs. An attendance Of
more than 5000 is expected.
A railroad man made the sugges-
ton for the farmers conferences.
R. Koontz, general freight agent Of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company. Mr.. Kaantz pre-
scented his views on the subject per-
sonally to forty.three prominent Kan
sans in various parts Of the state,
all interested In agricultural develop
ment, and organized them into a
temporary committee which met and
perfected arrangements for the con-
ference. A permanent organization
was effected by the election OF Edwin
Taylor of Edwardsgille to be 7resl-
dent; George B. Plumb Of Empor!a,
vice president; W. Y. Morgan Of
Hutchinson, secretary, and Scott Hep
kins Of Topeka, treasurer.
The plan is to have the best talent
in the United States on the program,
and every important phase Of farm &C.
tivity will be discussed. Severn. west
ern states are watching the Kan as
experiment with keen interest, and
1t is likely that Oklahoma, New Mex
leo and Colorado will lave similsr
conventions.
The Kansas war cry" row is for
scientific and intensive farming, and
the men who are backing the farm
ers' congress with their time, talent
and money express the belief that an
awakening is at hand which will add
from $75.OO0,0OO to $1Oo,0OO,0O0 to
the value Of the annual farm produc-
ton in the state.

ALFALFA MEAL" STOCK FOOD.

The government has made a rigid
ruling on the use of the term "alfal.
ia meal" To be allowed the use Of
such a name the food must be made
wholly Of alfalfa. II the food is al
falfa and sorghum only, 1t may be
called alfalfa sorghum" stock food.
II any ingredients are mentioned in
the name, 1t must name them all
At the recent alfalfa millers' meet
ing in Kansas City, one man stated
that he had a preparation that con-
tanned alfalfa, sorghum, cotton seed,
corn chops and salt. The meeting
decided that it would be in accord
with the governments ruling to call
1t the "alfalfa-sorghm- cotton seed.
corn chop and salt food" The ruling
may seem technical, yet it is a pro-
lection to the purchasing public. Wit
out this decision one man might call
his food alfalfa meal with only 1
per cent Of alfalfa in 1t; another
might use the same name With so Der
cent Of alfalfa in his mixture. The
public has a night to know from the
name Of the article what is being
sold.
