ENGLISH PR0DIGAL OF FOOD
Average Family Of Great Britain Has
Not Had a Meager Diet Even
With the War Raging.

For the first two years of the war,
and until few months ago, there was
little curtaiIment of fOodstuffs in the
average English family. The English
are heavy eaters, remarks a writer in
Farm and Fireside. The climate calls
for plenty of food. And the average
English family hasn't had a meager
diet, even with war raging
An Illustration of this is the fact
that German prisoners in England have
three liberal meals a day, and even
then some OF the British have insisted
heir prisoners ought to be better fed.
Like ourselves, the English have been
prodigai of their food and haven't
until lately seen the need Of strictly
conserving the supply. In addition TO
this disposition to wastefulness, the
English have had to divert large sup
plies Of foodstUffs to France and Italy,
as well as to help out Belgium.
The French and Italians live much
more sparingly in normal times than
the British. But they have been ham,
pered by an enormous draft Of men for
the army and consequent Interference
with agriculture.

A Subtle Distinction.

A senator was talking about the ar
guments advanced by certain neutral
nations who don't want Us TO cut off
the food supplies that they are re
shipping so generously to Germany.
I'VE won't send our chilled beef to
Holland and then she can't send her
own fresh beef to the Huns" he said.
That's the gist of the matter. The
neutrals' arguments against our plan
are full Of distinctions that are alto
gether too subtle for me. Yes, the
DeutFals' arguments remind me Of the
Bevan boy.
"The minister called at the Bevans'
one June Sunday afternoon, and the
oldest boy, answering the bell said:
Father amt IN. He's gone over
TO the golf club
Then. observing the shadow that
came over the minister's brow, the boy
added IN reassuring tones:
"'Oh, not to golf, you know. Nothin'
like that. Only to drink beer and play
little poker
Another reassuring smile and nod
and the boy shut the door on the dazed
clergyman"

Venison.

Venison, as a plain roast, is not a
very interesting dish; it is one Of
those foods that depend greatly upon
the "fxings," and the FILINGS nowadays
seriously run up the cost. When you
have paid for pot of red currant jelly
TO 90 with it you haven't saved much.
In the days when venison was an ar
istocratic food II was served with all

FAPRIKA RAISED IN SOUTH
Pepper Which Was Formerly import
ed From Spain and Hungary Now
Grown in United States.

Ten years ago agents of the hRreau
Of plant industry turned their atten-
ton TO paprika pepper. We don't
know what headed lhem toward pep
per, and the report of their work
doesn't tell US, says a writer in Every
hody's. Paprika pepper is probably a
mighty small item in our national food
budget. Up 10 THAT time we imported
all that We used from Hungary and
Spain. Our agents studied the char
acteristics of the plant, and the soil,
climate and cultivation that il re-
quired. Then they came back to this
country to discover where paprika
pepper could be profitably grown.
Down in Florence county, South
Carolina they found what appeared
TO be the required soil, climate and
labor conditions. Moreover, the land
there was not giving really profitable
account of itself. After the depart
ment agents had proved by their own
experiments that paprika pepper could
be successfully grown in South Caro-
lima, they furnished its seed to group
of farmers who agreed to grow it I'M
der their directions. This was to in
sure a product of a proper standard.
The industry is now fairly well es-
tablished, and if ever we should be at
war with Hungary and Spain at the
same time, probably South Carolina
could supply all the jaded palates of
this country with a standard brand Of
papTika pepper.
