PLAN TO SAVE MEAT.
Mr.. Harrison Suggests Food Animals
Pc Kept Off Railroad Tracks.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August 9.-"Mn-
lions of pounds of beef and pork Will
be required to feed our armies ana
navies and those of our allies. and II
we are not to have meatless days en-
forced in the United States we should
conserve our supplies in every prac-
ticable way" said President Harrison
of the Southern railway in a statement
made here.
"One of the ways in which a very
substantial saving of our meat re-
sources may be made is through reduc-
ing the number of animals killed on
railroad tracks On the railroads al
the United States many thousands OF
cattle and hogs are killed every year.
and as those killed in this way are not
used for food. this loss results in
correspondinsly large decrease in our
aNaiIah bile meat supply.

When the great changes took place
in May those of us who had fought so
hard for them and for so long ap-
proved everything that had been done,
but complained that the thing had
stopped too soon. The actual direc-
tion of the war still remained in the
hands of the old gang. But we also
saw that the thing could not remain

pushed on to its logical conclusion.

very real difficulty in deposing an Of

Eric Geddes has found an extremely

Marguerite Clark as An Irish Lassie Tonight.

Do you believe in fairies? When Maude Adams asked that question at the end of her marvellous performance in Peter Pan" every man, woman and child In the theatre, invariably joined in the chorus of affirmatives. Now Marguerite Clark, herself the incar- nation of the elf spirit, is being starred by the Famous Players Film Com pany in it's delightful fairy tale, Little Lady Eileen," which is the attraction at the Dream beginning tonight. And if. at the end of the performance, little Miss Clark were to step out of the screen upon the stage and ask the audience of the Dream theatre whether they too believe in fairies. there is little room for doubt that they would unanimously shout "Yes,"
 Strangely enough. 1t is only the little Lady Eileen herself who believes in the fairies at the beginning of the story The others about her are entirely too practical, they would tell you. to take
