MEAT BIG PROBLEM
FORf0OD DIRECTOR
Y. S. Must Supply World With
AnimalFood.
STOCK GREATLY DECREASED
Wartime Demands Have Been So
Great Europe Has Made Alarming
Inroads on Its Herds--u., s.
! Exports Doubled. .

Washington, Aug. 21.-The problem
of supplying the allies with meat has
deyolyed mainly on the United States,
and daily the burden is growing more
onerous, according to a statement is
sued by the food administration. War
time demands have been so great that
Europe has been making alarming in
roads on its herds, with consequent
reduction In its domestic supply.
Since the war started there has been
a total decrease of 115,O05,000 In the
worlds supply of meat-producing ami
mails. s,,.
Cattle increased 100000 in the
United States, willie the total worlds
decrease was 2S,0sO,000. Sheep de-
creased 100000 in this country, while
the world supply was diminished by
64.5O0,000. Hogs increased 6,275,OOO
In America, but the general supply de-
creased 32,425, 900.
During the year ending June 80,
1915 America exported 1880, 193y 900
pounds of meat as compared with a
three-year ante-bellum average of 493,-
$4,000 pounds. These exports went
chiefly to the allies, whose capital
stock Of animals has decreased 49,
100000 head.
although the European countries
have drastically reduced meat con.
sumption among war workers." says
the statement, ''this saving has been
overcome by the greatly increased de-
mands to supply men in the armies
and shops, and women who have taken
up physical labor.
millions of individuals to whom
fresh meat twice a week was lux
ury, are now, by necessity of their
extreme physical labor. eating 1t twice
daily. s,,s-,r .....,...... ..... s.......
al, Worlds Supply Jeopardized.
"The war has injected into an al
ready difficult situation, number of
vicious conditions which are jeopar-
dizing the ultimate animal products
supply Of the, world. The production
of fodder In. Europe has been dimin-
ished by the diversion Of productive
labor to, war, and its import has. been
curtailed by shortage In shipping and
by the isolation of markets by bellIlg-
erent lines.
.'The problem facing America is not
only one Of supplying the immediate
demand Of the allies, but one which
is. more far-reaching in its significance.
AS the war goes ON. there. will be
constant lessening of the capital stock
Of the worlds food animals. Among
our western allies, the demand out
runs further every day the decreasing
production, and as shipping becomes
further shortened by submarine de-
struction, further destruction of the
herds must ensue." ...

without results. and was very badly
discouraged, as l thought was going

before. Arthur Walls, representing the
American Hog Raisers Association of
Des Moines, Ia. finally induced me to
try an order of Arab Health Compound
with the hopes that l might save
portion of those sick. took an order
with the results that lost but one hog
following the morning that the medi-
cine came, the rest of the herd | saved.
While the company does not claim it

diseases excepting tuberculosis) with
the use of the Arab Health Compound
and Arab Sano Dip, viii say. / have
used several dips but never found any
dip that will produce the results that
Arab Sano Dip does. When l started
using the dip my hogs had sore eyes
and bad case of scurf. While the dip
does not have much of a smell. it will
rid the hogs of lice, scurf and sores
of any kind, | can not say enough for
the medicine. With the results / have

PLANS GREAT FLEET

OF DEsTRoYERs FOR U. s.
Declares U-Hoat Fears This Class Of
Fighting Ship More Than
ANY Other. =

Washington, Aug. 21.-More destroy
ers, deadhest enemy Of the submarine,
than any other nation in the world
possesses, will be built by the navy
department, to enable America to mas
ter the U-boat problem. This was
made plain at a conference between
Secretary Daniels and % shipbullders
summoned by him to Washington.
Naval fighters having convinced the
secretary that the submarine lives in
mortal terror of the destroyer, Mr..
Daniels Is now planning to double
the number Of destroyers under con-
struction. Representatives of the Fore
river, Cramp, New York ShIpbuilding,
Union Iron Works, Seattle Shipbuild-
ing concerns, as well as men from the
Mare Island and other navy yards,
went over the whole situation with
Secretary Daniels today.
Besides urging the shipbuilders to
increase their facilities for turning out
destroyers, Secretary Daniels instruct
ed the navy yard men to equip their
plants for building the vessels. The
shipbuilders asked for aid In speeding
up supplies Of engines, castings and
forgings, asserting slow delivery held
up their work.
IF we get what we want" the sec
rotary said, "The United States will
have more destroyers than any other
power. They are the one thing that
a submarine fears"

were no shipping orders, eastern
buyers being entirely off the market
and spectators acted "a little timid
The opening bids were full rs cents
below yesterdays high time. Late
market was to 10 cents higher than
the opening.
The bulk today sold at $1S.40@

Demand was good for cattle on all
sides and sellers had no trouble in
maintaining yesterdays prices and
ON all good grades a shade higher
There were really no fat steers offer
ed and most of the offerings were
only considered common to medium,
Demand from the country for stock
ers and feeders is picking up some
since the bad break in the market
and the tendency of corn to go lower
This is sustaining the low end of the
market some for such steers as have
the quality to suit feeders.
There was no quotable cahnge in
the shee pand lamb prices. Supply
and demand were equal and yester
days prices were maintained.
The estimated receipts for tomor
