AMERICANS EAT
THE MOST MEAT
Statistics Prove United States
Leads Even Beef Con-
Stunning Britons.

Americans are the greatest meat
eaters in the world. They beat John
Bull, with all his legends about the
beef of old England. Moreover, they
eat more beef per capita than the
/ British do.
Figures for meat-eating in 1909, just
made public by the bureau of animal
/ industry of the department of agricul-
ture. show that the per capita con-
sumption of meat for that year in the
( United States was 1922 pounds, divid-
ed as follows, fractions omitted: Beef,
eighty pounds; veal, seven; pork, six
ty-seven; mutton and lamb, six; goat
meat, 10.
Over in England, where they boast
about good old roast beef, the per cap
tia for that product is only fifty-six
pounds. Moreover, the proportion of
beef in the total eaten by the American
is exactly the same as for the British
er-forty-seven per cent. Inhabitants
of the tight little isle" make up their
total by eating twenty-six pounds of
mutton year, against the Americans
six pounds.
The Spanish are the smallest meat
eaters, their per capita consumption
being only forty-nine pounds. Ger.
many's is 113 pounds. In both Germany
and France pork is the favorite meat
''ln view of the growing scarcity and
high price of cattle and swine and
their products on our markets in re
cent time, il is well to call attention tc
the comparatively Insignificant part
played by the bowie species in ouI
meat dietary" the bureau declares. az
may be seen that we consume only si2
pounds of mutton and lamb per head E
! year, which is barely 4 per cent of the
total meat supply. When we compare
this small consumption of mutton Will
that of England, a very striking con
trast is presented.
Our small consumption no doubt 4
mainly attributable to the exceedingl,
cheap and abundant supplies of beef
and pork which have prevailed in form
er years, thus rendering it unneces
sary TO look elsewhere, for meat. Blu
the day of cheap meat is past AM
the present market prices of food an
mails point to the fact that it is be
coming more and more imperative tina
= every available source of our mea
supply should be carefully developed
Hence the necessity for more shee

D 1T is undeniable that the sheep spt
,, cies, both in the lamb stage and whe
older, furnishes meat of most excelen
E quality when the animals are suite
} for this purpose. Therefore, the pre-,
ent seems to be an opportune time fc

lustre to the hair when faded, streak

scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get q
large bottle for about 90 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does 1t
so naturally and evenly You dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young.

Arrangem snts are being perfea ted

which is in accordance with the plans

sociation. The train will leave Eldon
at o'clock and arrive in Keokuk at
10 a. m, and leave Keokuk at p.
M, thus giving ample opportunity for
the visitors to shop or visit or see
the dam. The arrangement for this
special train service on this road will
give most favorable opportunity for
the people residing along the line to
come to KeokuI1 On account of the
short time that the regular trains al
low, not much opportunity is given to
see Keolluk ard on this account many
people who formerly visited Keokuk
have not been coming as frequently
as they did formerly. This spe la
service to be run on the 10Th and
23rd of this month will allow pie ty
of time to visit and shop and 1t is
believed the train will be literally
patronized Keokuk will surely vel
come the visitors and those who have
not been in this city for a few years
will certainly be agreeably surprised
at the advancement made. The time
schedule will be published In this
