Washington, Feb. ia bulletin is
sued today by the department of agri-
Culture contains striking data showing
how the meat supply and the meat
consumption in this country are fall
ing off.
One of the statements made by the
sumption Of meat, including extra edi-
BILE parts, was 213.4 pounds in 1900:
1884 pounds in 1909; and 1903 pounds
in 1914.
That there not only has been large
decline in the per capita consumption
Of meat, but that the supply of meat
consumed has heavily declined in the
aggregate despite the great increase in
population, is shown. The total con-
sumption was 1S,2200OO000. pounds in
1900; 1896, 100000 pounds in 1909: and.
as roughly estimated, $3.50 ,000. 900
pounds in 1914.
The total production of meat, includ-
ing extra edible parts, was 1S,05S,000.-
900 pounds in 1900, or 245.5 pounds
per capita. What are known as extra
edible parts" are not included in
dressed weight. The corresponding fig
ure for 1909 was 1929. 100000 pounds,
or 1928 per capita; and the estimate
for 1914 is 1855, 100000, or 1853 per
capita.
Country on Lean Times.
| The country is happened on lean
times when it comes to the supply of
meats for food purposes. In the nine
years from 1900 to 1909, the total
meat production, including extra edi-
BILE parts, increased 576,000,000 pounds,
or 81 per cent; but from 1900 to 1914,
the meat production decreased 1885,
OOO, 900 pounds, or 1915 per cent. The
total meat consumption increased be-
tween 1913 per cent from 1900 to 1909
but from 1900 to 1914 it decreased rs
per cent, or 410,000,0oo pounds.
The exports Of meat decreased !, 170,-
000, 900 pounds, or 4s.1 per cent, from
1900 to 1909, and the decrease from
1900 to the fiscal year 1913 was 1861
146, 900 pounds, or 64.5 per cent.
The population Increased 1872 per
cent from 1900 to 1909 and the esti-
mate of increase for 1914 over 1900 Is
29.s per cent.
Decrease Almost One Fourth.
The bulletin sets forth that the per
capita, consumption Of meat, including
the extra edible parts. decreased per
cent from 1900 to 1909 anu 24.9 per
cent from 1900 to 1914.
1t is to be borne in mind that the
references are to fiscal years. The
fiscal year, 1914, began July l Of 1918.
Chief Leon NJ. Estabrook. Of the bu-
reau Of statistics Of the department Of
agriculture, says that the indicated
shortage Of meat animals since the
census Of 1910 is approximately 1873
per cent, or S,536,OO0 head Of cattle;
11.6 per cent. or e.509.o00 head Of
sheep; and SO per cent, or 3,214,000
head of swine. The indicated total
shortage of meat animals since the
census Of 1910 is therefore approx
mately 1s,259,00O head, or nearly nine

"A considerable portion OF the neces-

hogs for each 100 Of the present total
estimated population.
Values Show Increase
Notwithstanding this tremendous
shortage in the number of meat ami
mails in the past four years. the esti-
mated farm value Of the cattle, sheep
and swine on farms Jan. l was $685..
$4,000 greater than the estimated wall
ue Of these animals in the census year
Of 1910.
Mr.. Estabrook treats at length OF
the causes Of the shortage. One Of
the important statements he makes is
that the indications point to large pro-
fits for the middlemen In the meat
business all the way between the orig
inal producer and the ultimate con-
sumer. He holds the business of rails
ing meat animals is not profitable to
producers, and the very :act there is
shortage points to this. Producers
of farm products. he says. are the last
to receive any benefit from higher
prices paid by CONSUMERS. He says:
THE total cost to the consumer is
made up of the cost of production Of
the livestock-farm price--the cost OF
marketing and transportation CT the
live animals the cost of manu- facture
into various kinds of meats. and the
cost of marketing and distributing the
manufactured products 10 the con-
sumner. This Is an immense business
in itself and the indications are that
the profits are correspondiHsly large
to every one concerned between the
original producer and the consumer
He expresses the hope the causes
of the present shortage in meat ami
mails, will be thoroughly explored by
the committee OF the department OF
agriculture recently named for this
purpose. headed by DR.. B. T. Galloway.

ONLY TWO TOWNS IN THE FED
ERAL LEAGUE PAYING.

According to the Brooklyn scribes
and players, the Federal league is
having lumpy shedding in six towns
of its eight. Only at Baltimore and
Chicago is any money coming in, and
the prodigal expenditures of the early
campaign can not be recalled or equal
lied in any manner. The cheapest
bush Lacquer, if approached with a
Federal contract, now demands more
money than major league star would
receive in his original club, and Fed
eral vacancies can only be filled at an
immense output of Sheckels. Several
Federal teams are carrying payrolls
as fat as those of the big circuits,
without one-third of the money coming
in, and with original investments still
bearing interest. 1t remains to be
seen how long the rich men who are
backing two of the teams will bear
the burdens of the other aggregations

THE DOMINANT RIGHT.
A Sinister Superstition" and Its Ef-
teets Upon the Human Mind.

1t took a whole generation time OF
experiments and mechanics to learn
that the engineer must stand or sit on
the right side of his engine, or cab
in order that he could look
ahead with his right or dominant eye
only, and without sticking his entire
head out, as he would have to do IL
he sat or stood on the left side. The
railroad men never learned why this
is so, do not know why today, and
to make the desirable change in two
American left passing double track
railroads, while it would finally avoid
expense and accidents, would cost at
once many millions of dollars.
Thousands Of years ago knights and
men fighting on foot or horseback
had to approach and pass each other
on the left in order to strike or spear
each other with the right hand while
the shield hand held the shield or the
reins. The railway engineer, civil
or locomotive, does not know that
the knight was his right handed and
right eyed progenitor and endower.
A food of light is thrown upon his
tory, sociology and medicine, esptci-
ally upon psychology, neurology and
psychiatry, by lefthandedness and it's
sequels. OF every million born at
least 10000 probably more, are natu-
rally lefthanded, so that in the Unit
ed States there are nearly 3OOOO,ON
and in the world more than $4,000,
! 900, thus handicapped. An indefinite
| proportion of these have been or are
being doubly cursed by the efforts of
! the foolish parent or teachers to make
| them righthanded. Sad suggestions
| and illustrations of the baleful results
of the work of these improvers of ma
| ture exist in such simple facts as that
right" whicn should mean only deX-
! trail or righthanded, has come to mean
good, moral advisable; and left" or
sinistral, has become sinister, awk-
ward unlucky, to be avoided both
| person and thing. "Dexterity'' and
righteousness, properly meaning on
ly "deXtrality," have become synony-
/ nous with eXpertness and exceptional
( proficiency, whereas everybody knows
that the lefthanded person, if purely
so, is as cunning of hand as the
/ righthanded.

GRACEFUL ARRANGEMENT
OF The F|LMY SCARF

Every imaginable material is used
in the making of scarfs, and these are
no longer simply long and straight,
but are adjusted to fit the shoulders
by plaits and shirrings under hand
some ornaments.
Shaping a Capuchon hood in the
back, or a Bourneose loop, this new
manner of adjusting the scarf adds
grace and dignity even to an un-
calmly figure. Like ali overgarment,
nearly covering, but hiding nothing,
OF the toilette beneath, this adjust
ment gives opportunity for a charm
ing play of graceful arms and hands,
and, left alone, the fllmy fabric clings
to the figure or floats airly with ev-
cry movement.
Besides the perfect grace of it, this
is an excellent device 10 freshen a
toilette that has begun to show signs
Of wear.

The following story from Sam

Before the fight, says Sam, "How do

Well, I'll fight till he comes back. See

and the Irish lad knocked his dusky
opponent down about 10 times in the
first round, only the bell saving the
son of Ham. They picked him up, bat

him in the chair

PURPLE NOT BECOMING
TO THE PALE WOMAN

1t is regrettable, considering the
money and time some women expend
upon their personal adornment, that
so little is paid by the majority to the
use of colors in their dress.
1t is predicted that purple will be
one of the fashionable colors of the
spring, and unless woman is blesseu
with black or brown eyes and a pro-
nounced color in her cheeks, if she
wears this color the effect will be mel.
ancholy.
The color of the eyes should be
carefully considered in all daytime
costuming, and in lesser degree in
the evening dress. Therefore, the
woman who is possessed of a sallow
or faded complexion and light blue
or pale gray eyes should shun purple
If she will be really becomingly
gowned.
