MEAT RESTRICTION
FIVE OUNCES DAILY
British Food Controllers New
Orders Go Into Effect
Next Week.

LONDON, March 23.-Restaurateurs
der of Lord Devonport, the food con-
troller. restricting each person to FIVE
ounces OF uncooked meat, will hit
business men who must take their
luncheon away from home harder
than any one else. No complaints are
heard against the two meatless days
and two potatoless days proposed, but
bitter condemnation is heard every
where of the five-ounce Limitation.
While the new orders are not yet
officially announced, 1t is known that
the food controller intends to put them
in force next week. It is admittedly
true that food restrictions are not
needed by the vast majority of the
people, but a selfish minority, along
with the food hoarders, have forced
the minister's hand.
A deputation of cafe and restau-
rant proprietors has urged Lord Dew
onport not to reduce the meat limit
to i've ounces for each person, and It
is possible this may be altered to al
low six or seven, but the deputation
learned that Lord Devonport abso-
lutely refused to allow more than
eight ounces.
Hotels Expect Upheayal.
The hotel men declare that the new
restriction is bound to cause an up
heaval in the restaurant business.
Strong opinions are expressed regard
ing the inadequacy of the allowance
compared with the amount of meat on
sale. Captain Bathurst announced in
the House of Commons that the
amount of frozen meat in storage
March 1 showed a decrease of "A per
cent, compared to January !.
Curious anomalies have arisen since
the first food restriction was enforc-
ed. Farmers, unaware that retailers
in London intended holding turnips
for high pESes. sold their stocks at
IS a ton, discovering later that the
retailers were selling at S12O a ton.
Even at that price many began hoard
ing turnips and potatoes and other
| scarce commodities.
The food question Is pressing daily
with increasing stringenGy on the
British public. Lord Devonport an
nounced in the House OF Lords today
that although voluntary rations had
brought about excellent results, much
more in this direction was required; /;
! otherwise IL might be necessary to re-
sort to compulsory rationing. which
would be a national calamity.
Bread and Sugar Economy.
He was very desirous of avoiding
this owing to the tremendous ma
chinery needed. This machinery, how
ever, was ready, he declared, IL re-
quired, and a great reduction in bread
and sugar was still imperative. The
controller also intended, he said, to
introduce a strong measure to prevent
the boarding of food.
With regard to boarding, 1t is said,
the police will be empowered to search
| private houses, and If more than a
| fortnight's supply of sugar, on a basis
! of a weekly allowance OF three-quar-
ters of a pound per capita, is found,
the persons so boarding will be Sc
verely punished. Traders also would
! be prohibited, under penalties, from
attempting to compel purchasers to
buy other things before being sup
piled with sugar. potatoes. and similar
commodities, as this system has led
to mischievous waste.

POPULAR MEDICINE
BY DR.. HIRSHBERG
Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.
By DIR LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

By DIR. LEONARD Il. HIRsHBERG.
Since the announcement of Prof.
Alexis Carrel's discovery of new So
luton with which to treat wounds, 1
have received many letters requesting
a detailed account of the so-called
"Dakin solution" for the treatment Of
wounds. A cablegram was dispatched
to the Hospital .Temporaire, Com
piegne, France, and a detailed an
swer by mail has just reached me.
This new method of treatment,
called Dakin's or Daufresne's-some-
times Carrers-solution, Is composed
OF hypochlorite of soda in solution.
The crux OF this method for Riding
wounds of germs, dirt, and other
sources of infection is the complete
absence OF all irritation by caustic
alkalis.
Must Avoid Irritation.
Hypochlorite of soda is closely re-
lated to chlorinated lime, and is to-
gether with dry-"anhydrous"-
Donate of soda, and also bicarbonate
OF soda, the essential ingredients OF
Dakin's fluid. A most important con-
sideratIon in making up this new ex-
ternal medicine Is to be certain that
the chlorinated lime is fresh, active,
and not variable.
Ten quarts of Dakin's fluid is usu-
ally made up at one time by the
French army surgeons, under DR.. Car
refs observation. A gramme Is about
Is grains and % grammes make an
ounce. To make 10 liters or quarts OF
the solution take:
Sodium hypochlorite. -. 154 gins.
Sodium bicarbonate. g. gins.
Sodium carbonate, dry. "a GINS
Place the sodium hypochlorite in a
twelve-quart carboy or jar with five
quarts OF water and keep IL well agi-
tated for a few minutes. 1t Is then
left alone over night. While that Is
being done five other quarts OF water
are used to dissolve the bicarbonate
and carbonate OF soda.
The next morning these are brought
together and agitated thoroughly.
The carbonate of lime, which has
formed, is allowed to settle. The
clear liquid is siphoned of and filter
ed through double paper and protect
ed from light.
Damaged by Light.
Light changes the solution and re-
duces its disinfectant qualities.
wicker-covered demItohns bf black
glass are now considered the best
way to preserve It.
The solution is much more bland,
soothing and remedial than the COM
mercial hypochlorite and other solu-
tions. Phenolphthalein does not
change the color OF Dakin's solution,
but the others turn red.
To disinfect and sterilize wounds,
Dakin's solution is allowed to flow
gently over the raw, tender and in
famed flesh. Irrigation and drainage
tubes are used to prevent spray or
force in the applications of the chlor-
Inc solution.

HERE'S 4 GENIUS

We recently overheard g story Of Canadian genius that is well worth repeating. 4 German snip CT had been picking off several men in Canadian trench at night, and no one seemed to be able to locate the man. A young fellow from Vancouver saved the day. He took a tin lid of cracker box, pierced small hole in the center of 1t, placed it on the top edge of the trench with a lighted candle hack of the hole. As it was dark tho hole looked as if it were a man smoking a cigarette. Immediately 2 yolley of shots began to hammer away at the tin lid. The fellow from Vancouver then grabbed the I'ece of tin and from the angle which the bullets pierced the lid judged the sniper must be in tree certain distance away. Crawling underneath dead bodies the Van couver man crept across No Mans lend and got the sniper, proof Of which was the stopping Of the

FORT HARRISON HAS
 WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

Roy Mulvihill, stationed with the National Army at Fort Harrison, Montana, recently sent his parents MT. and Mrs. W. '. Mulvihill, a copy of The Morning Taps" a bright and witty weekly paper of four pages published at the fort giving the daily events of the sol diers life.
 Roy c. Ro5enthal is editor in chief of the paper and Sgt. Ray REan is his able assistant. Both men were students ill the Uni versity Of Washington the past thre years, and were active in the De- partment Of Journalism in the college. In the early days of Fort WOrden, where Rosenthal was first stationed, Taps came out a bulle- tin miniature of a metropolitan newspapers front page. The CO., umns were typewriter and the headlines were sketched. Taps never missed an issue. Each Fri day afternoon it was posted on the company bulletin board and of ficers and men alike would gather around to persue its columns. Roy kosenthal, in editing paper in this manner, was following a course starfei in the University where each student is required to con stantly sketch makeup front pages of the best newspapers in the Un- tied States.

\ Hard Fight

One day the little terrior got jealous of his laurels. The tough looking bull pun was being shown too many attentions. And so it was that a fight for first honor tock place. The little white dog tried hard to protect his right; he fought the best he could, but be fore the boys could separate them, the bigger dog had broken the little pups leg, and limped around pretty sadly.
 The sun was shining brightly over the Montana foothills as eight of his late playmates CoaXed him away, about a quarter of a mile behind the barracks. They dug a trench in the ground, patted him on the head, and bid himgood bye. A mutfled shot, and they laid him to rest.
 And after all he could not have wanted more. The post belonged to him. He wanted to stay with it or its guardians always. And now. after these young fellows had left, after the others had come back, ho would silently be guarding his home, would De with it forever.

Little White Terrier
 Versus Big Irish Bull

He was a plain, common, nearly white terrior that the Montana h. fantrymen didn't have time to take with them, though he wanted to go as badly as any man in their outfit. And it hurt him pretty deeply to think that after chumbing around with the native sons for months tn had forgotten him.
 His home was at the post. If thCv all left and the Washington boys too, he would stay and guard the grim red brick buildings and wait for their victorious return. And he would be glad as any parent or friend for their bravery and valor. More Good Pals.
 The big fellows from the coast proved to be pretty good friends, and the little terrior was as happy as the mess line Is long, He was Uatted on the head, and not once was he kicked. Why should anyone throw rocks at him? Wasn't he as much a part of the defense of the post as the boys with the red cords?
 And so, unofticially, he became one of the company mascots. He had two brother pups with him, but one was handsome collie and the other a fighting Irish bull pup. Thel were new in camp. They didn't have the rights and privileges that he had earned by faithfulness end constancy.
