Washington, Oct. 1S.-Reports to

German harvests this year have not
relieved the food situation to any ap.
preciable extent 1t is known that
there is great scarcity of fats and
animal food in general, and that the
supplies received from Rumania and
neighboring neutrals, are not making
up the lack Of prOteids. AS the re.

the crops were normal in volume, the
scanty supplies in most commodities
have not been augmented.

Recently obtained figures on the
German weekly food rations we're
made public by the food administra.

1t is likely to have serious and per.
manent results.
Computed in terms of American
housekeeping, the rations approxi-

pounds of bread, a half peck of pota.
toes, cupful of beans, peas or oat-
meal, half pound of meat, IL cubes
Of sugar, six individual patties of but.

In Wyoming the mercury dropped to

Mr. Family Man took cheer this

Roberts, and not at all unusual for

trif1e sitter than we have had for
several years past, at this stage of
the fall, it brings no cause for alarm
nor any reason to believe that we are
to have an exceptionally early or cold
winter. In fact, as weather prophet,
last evenings blizzard has no stand
ing whatever.
1t is just as we'll, though, that one
look over his coal bin and put in his

pleted and brings raid on coal deal
