Food Commissioner Gives Eco

Campaign.
News Times Special Service /:


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July g
a warning against the slaughter OF
mich cows and reasons why they
should not be killed for meat were
given today by DR.. II. +. Barnard
state food and drug commissioners.
He said
AT no time in history has the
value Of fat been so vital. Won
Hindenburg in his appeal to the Ger
man reichstag cried for fat,-fat for
his weakened soldiers. fat for the
suffering people, fat for the little
children.
The fate OF Germany may hang
upon the question Of fat. And in
our own country we must bend all
our efforts to increase the produc-
ton of butter fat
Dairy cattle are being slaughter
ed daily Cows are going TO the
butchers pens because feed is so
high and labor so scarce that the
farmer cannot afford TO produce
milk. In order 10 get out of an un-
profitable business, made so by the
refusal Of the consumer TO recognize
the real value Of milk and butter as
our most essential foods. he is turn
ing into beef a machine that. well
fed and cared for, will produce 800
pounds of butter fat a year for
seven years, or 200 pounds during
her productive life. Killed by the
butcher the same COW will produce
less food and less valuable fat, than
her milk will contain in a single
year.
"A 1900 pound steer ready for
market contains about $50 pounds
of actual food A dairy COW at two
years of age begins TO produce and
yield daily thereafter about 900
pounds OF edible nutrients in the
year and will continue 10 produce
until her life output is $500 pounds
OF human food. In other words. il
takes II steers to produce the same
amount of food as a dairy COW pro
duces in her life time. Ii is further
pertinent to observe that the steer
before he pays for any of his food
is in debt TO his owner for two years.
and upon pawn nt ceases TO live,
while the COW pays for her food
daily as she goes.
To-day our stock OF dairy cattle
is lower per thousand population
than IL has been for 40 years. Any
further reduction in our dairy re-
sources will he frought with serious
consequences"

LONDON PASSES
 HARDEST WINTER
Mercury Was Low and Coal
 Was Scarce

London, April 2.-London has just the war. For weeks the weather has been down to freezing point, an un- usual thing here. Coupled with this severity Of weather was a scarcity of rich and poor alike. The coal was in the country but the difficulty was in getting it to the consumers.
 It Is true that prices did not soar very high as compared with those in Paris and Rome but the dealers did get $15 a ton, which Is a good price for London. ,
 The shortage of labor made it im- possible for dealers to get coal to many of the schools and these had to had to go to the dealers or to the yards where it was unloaded from the trains. It was therefore not an un- common sight to see fashionably dressed women carrying coal in baby carriages. baskets and bags. Still others loaded the coal into taxica bs. Small boys were in great demand.
 In the poorer sections of the met ropolitan area women and children besieged dealers for hours. They were given limited supplies, in order that all might be served. These peo- pie unusually paid 25 cents for a small pailful.
 Railway travellers usually carried a steamer rug to keep them warm on tho journey. for the railways ceased to heat the cars.
 Most people faced the inconvenience bravely. They realized that the needs of the navy came first; also that if they were not getting the usual qual- ity 1t was because the best coal was reserved for the navy.

FLUCTUATIONS MARK
 DAY ON THE STREET
Prices Unsteady With Steels
 Showing Only Steadiness

Wall Street.-A general shading of prices of stocks. in no important in- stance than fractional. prevailed dur ing today's early dealings. With the exception of U. s. Steel, in which the first transaction consisted of 5000 shares at an extreme recession of a quarter of 8 point, offerings were ex- tremely light. with the usual neglect Of rails. Pressure was most per 'sistent in metals, shippings and minor industrials. Primer tendencies de- veloped in the later trading.
 Foremost munitions and equip- ments. notably Bethlehem Steel, Crucible Steel and United States led the active list to higher prices in the first hour with Marine preferred and such representative issues as Union Pacific. These gains were altogether lost in the second hour, prices falling back again in renewed pressure against motors, industrial alcohol, hide and leather preferred and Ameri- can Woolen. Selling became mora urgent at midday. prominent stocks then showing overnight losses of to points. Bonds were irregular.
 The reaction of the noon hour was checked by liberal buying of the ship ping group at advances of l to 1-2 points. Rallies elsewhere were limited to minor fractions, indus trials and metals manifesting general restraint.
