SAVE THE MEAT-Beef,
mutton>or pork not more than
once daily. Use freely vege-
tables and fish. At the meat
meal serve smaller portions
and stews instead of steaks.
Make made-dishes of all left
overs. Do this and there will
be meat enough for every one
at a reasonable price.
We are today killing the
dairy cows and female calves
as the result of high prices.
Therefore, eat less and eat no
young meat. If we save an
ounce of meat each day per
person we will have additional
supply equal to 100000 cattle.

hours before they are killed. It would hardly be possible to make the same arrangement for cats as the number of cats collected would be so much larger than the number of dogs and they would be so much more difficult to take care of. Cats are and always will be much more numerous than dogs and far more difficult to catch. There would be great difficulty were a license bill to pass; first in catching them and still more difficulty in try ing to carry them to a cat pound. The strong probability is that no cats would be kept and the stray cats would have to be killed on sight, ai- lowing no opportunity for the rccov- cry of a lost cat by it's owner It is quite probable that there would be more cats and kittens carried to the woods and dropped by those mistaken individuals who think that anything is better than death for animals and not feeling able or willing to pay license they would carry their cats to the woods and fields and leave them. There are undoubtedly too many cats but the difficulties in the way of en- forcing cat license law are so many and so serious that however great the need may be to lessen the number of cats this is not the way to do it. If lessened and if they have not already an Animal Rescue League in their city let them first organize one and then let them support such an organizat ton generously enough to enable 1t to do good work
 Let us not vote for a cat license bill because it would mean untold cruelty.

MUST BACK UP OUR POSITION

The conference which has taken place between President Wilson and members of the senate indicates that important action is. about to be taken In regard to the unrestricted naval warfare which Germany has promised to put into effect, regardless of the rules of war or the pledges which it has made to this country Just what the action will be has not been deter mined, but it is not surprising that there is strong demand for the break Ing off of diplomatic relations with Germany and the handing of his pass ports to Ambassador Bernstorff
 Germany has already sunk vessels under the same sort of an unrestricted policy and caused the death of many Americans. It has received our views in regard to such conduct and it has given to this country it's pledges that such will not be repeated, not be- cause it was this country which de- manded it but because it was recog- nized that it was unjustifabIe and an utter disregard for the rights of neu- traIs and humanity
 Yet upon top of all this it now comes forth with the declaration which gives notice to this country that It's promises are going. to be broken, that international laws are but scraps of paper and that it is going to treat humanity, the non -combatants of other countries and the property and sub jects of neutral nations just as it did Belgium
 That isn't a declaration which can be disregarded. It isn't a stand which calls for, unreasonable delay but a move in behalf of new policy of ter rorism which calls for action prompt and decisive. Our position is we'll enough known without redefning it. We must now back it up.
