25 to 200. The numbers on weekly
bread card figure up to 2.250-250 of
this being for meal. That leaves 1000
for each person each week An ordi-
nary slice of rye bread or roll takes
fifty from each card, and that means
that each person eau have forty slices
of bread each week, besides the meal.
That makes almost six slices every
day, and that is as much bread as any
ordinary person can eat A loaf Of

In hotels. for the passing guests, a
bread card is issued each morning. 1t
contains only $50 and lasts only one
day The center of the card must al
ways be returned, and in that way the
officials know just how much bread is
being consumed and just how much
flour to allow to the bakers. The peo-
pie of Germany don't bake bread in
their homes. 1t is not permitted to
make wheat bread at all, for all the
wheat used must be saved for cake.
But the milk rolls and the potato buns
are delicious and the most fastdious
could not find fault with them.
Bread cards are usually issued for
several weeks at a time, to save the
trouble of going after them so often.
Each week they are a different color
and are stamped with the date. The
price of bread has not gone up since
the war; it is only that none is wasted.
In the spring of 1915 wheat was planted
on every available plot of ground and the
crop was an enormous one. The winter
crop shows signs of being large one.
too. But the bread card is going on just
the same, and all the extra supply OF
wheat is being stored away for the time
when the wheat crop may fall.
There is now some talk of issuing a
milk card. In that case the families tina
have young children will be served first.

Apples. and splendid ones, are very

all fruit Is much cheaper here than in
Norway or Denmark. Indeed. the whole
cost of living is much less in Germany
than in these Two countries. Meat costs
a little more. For instance. in a res

The Berlin newspapers. interviewed the
chefs of the large hotels and restaurants.
and every chef claimed that he is equal
to the occasion. The chef of the Hotel
Eden had his menu all planned for the

appetizing. For Monday noon, hot

Sugar is very cheap in Germany, for
they always export great deal of beet

of course, very dear, and kidney beans

ernmaras Make Their Country SvpplyAl Necessities

beefsteak costs small fortune There
is story current about woman in
a small country town in the United
States who received letter from her
niece in Germany. Among other things
the letter said, Il am sending you Il
fancy sticker on the envelope. Be
sure to soak it off and Keep it. Every
body here collects them. The story
continues that the aunt very carefully
soaked it off, and there to her horror
she found written these words: "The
people of Germany are starving"
Another thing that assures them that
they are right is the bread card. They
pity the poor people who must use a
bread card, for they think it is some
thing like charity ticket to a soup
kitchen.
If they could only come over and see
for themselves they would be very
much surprised. Why, the poor of
London in their palmiest days have
not so much as the poor of Germany
in war time, for Germany takes care of
what little poor she has and London
does not.
1t was Germany's trait of sparing-
ness that made her think of the bread
card When the war was few months
old and the wheat crop of 1914 was
taken in, the German officials began to
think. What if there should be
blockade and no wheat could be got
ten into the country, and, worse still.
what If there should be no wheat crop in
1915, the next year?
At first they merely forbade the res
taurants from putting bread on the
table for the people to mince over, but
this did not prove sufficient. the wheat
supply was going down too fast and at
that rate there would be no wheat fo.-
the winter. So they got to work and
took stock of all the wheat in the en-
pire and then they sat down and fig
ured it out, and the result of this fig
uring was the bread card. They ar
ranged it so that every one would
have as much bread as he needed, but
that there would be no unnecessary
waste.
Every week a bread card is issued to
each member of family. The landlord
furnishes the cards to all his tenants.
He gets them from the nearest school.
where they are sent by the police, and
as the police keep strict count of every
one. they only send a certain number.
So if you don't register at the police
station when you come to Germany,
you don't get bread card.
Each bread card has a center, around
which are numbers, which run from

a y eminent German once said:
IN The leading trait of the Ger
~ man people is sparingness."
& And it is this trait that is
winning battles for the ma
tiop not only on the battlefield ITSELF
but at home, where the even greater
battle is being fought-how to make
Germany self-supporting nation.
In the fifteen months of war Germany
has learned the one great lesson-that
she must depend upon herself almost
entirely to solve the three great ques-
tions-ammunition, money and food.
The ammunition question has been
an easy one, for she hasn't even begun
to use her reserve supply, and hundreds
of men are working night and day
aking more.
The money question, too. has not been
a difficult one to solve, for there is
plenty of money in the empire, and
every one is willing to do his share.
When the war is over Germany will
have no great war debt to another ma
tion, as will have England, Russia and
France.
The third question was by far the
most difficult of the three, and yet Ger
many has now her food regulations so
systematized and SO perfectly planned
that England can keep up her food
blockade forever and not soul in Ger
many will starve. for Germany is now
almost entirely a self-supporting ma
ton.
OF course. raw material, such as cop
per and cotton, is still a great ques-
tion. but there are thousands of
churches in Germany whose steeples
are crowned with copper tops. and
every one of these steeples will be
cheerfully pulled down the moment
they are needed. And then great guam
titles of copper still Sits through Nor
way and Sweden in spite of England,s
precautions. The cotton question will
be solved if the Teutonic and Bulgarian
allies cut through Serbia to Turkey, for
then all the cotton needed will be sent
from Asiatic Turkey.
There are SO many untrue stories
afioat in America about conditions in
Germany. Some of these stories say
that the people of Germany are starv-
ing and that little ragged children can
be seen crying in the streets for
warmth and food. Another story says
