WORLD FAMINE IN MEAT AFTER
 WAR PREDICTED
Cultivation of Land and Cutting Down Pastures Is Main Reason for
 Meat Shortage

LONDON, Aug 1S.-Predictions of world famine of meat after the war were recently made by Wis count Lewis Harcourt. He said the decrease of pasture land re- sulting from more extensive culti- vation would reduce the supply of cattle. and the supply of home pro duced meat would be further af- fected by the decision of the war office to feed the army for three months on home grown meat.
 While at the Board of Trade last year he obtained estimates of the German government that it would take five years after the war to re- store Germany's stock of cattle to the normal figure of 23,000,000 head.
 He estimated that, after the war, Europe would want to obtain or import 16,00O,OO0 to 20,000,00O head of cattle. For several years Ger many would have to feed her peo- pie on imported frozen or chilled meat and would come into mar ket where she had never bought be- fore. Further the men Of the Al lied armies had been taught to eat a pound of meat a day and one could not expect that they would abandon that habit Immediately.

MUST KILL THE
 RATS TO SECURE
 THEM FOR FAT
Campaign Is Started in Sweden; Rewards Are Offered for All
 CarCaSSeS.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 1S.-The city authorities have begun a campaign against rats by offering reward of about 212 cents for every carcass delivered While it is hoped thus to reduce the rat plague consider ably, the chief end is to secure an important addition to the stock of fats available for the making of soaps and lubricants. The rat car. casses are treated in a "corpse uti lizatiOn establishment" where. after the fat has been boiled out, what re- mains is converted into poultry food. South Sweden has for some time been utilizing cadavers of var ious animals in this way A con siderable amount of fat is also se- cured by skimming large containers placed in the sewers leading from hotels, restaurants and other places where there is unavoidable waste of fat.

SPECIAL TESTS MADE
Inspection of the Fire Fighting Equipment Shows Low InSur-

Kenneth C. Hamilton, representa- tive of the Board of Underwriters who is in Juneau inspecting the fire apparatus and fire fighting facili- ties. has recommended to the Board that a very substantial reduction in the fire insurance rates on proper ty in Juneau be made, and it is con- sidered very probable that such a course will be followed by the Board. after Mir.

 Last night MT. Hamilton, with Chief Sim Freiman and a number of the fire boys, made tests of the big American LaFrance pumping en- zine, taking water both from the low pressure system, and from Gold Creek, where the water was run ming at high rate of speed. Tests were also made of the high pressure system at different points
 You certainly have great fire fighting system here, and I am high ly pleased with what the tests have demonstrated" Nr. Hamilton said to representatives of The Empire in discussing the situation Contin- uing, he said: "Of course, we know what your engine will do under standardized conditions, but the con ditions under which the engines work are different in every town

That makes a practical demonstra- ton necessary.
 Your engine is beautiful piece of machinery and perfect in every detail She will pay for herself many times over before her days of usefulness are numbered
 Makes Recommendations.
 'I have already made recommen- dations to the Board for a substan- tial insurance rate reduction, how much l do not at this time care to say The Board, however, will not lct on the matter before I appear be- fore it in person and tell of the tests and what the details of the conditions under which the en- rine and high pressure system work. I can truthfully say that I do not apprehend any hesitancy on the tion.
 Prom what l have seen of the ire boys of Juneau, the city can veil be proud of the corps and the 'pirit which has been developed. The Juneau boys have the best vol 1nteer department it has ever been my experience to see The city has provided quarters for them which are not equaled in any city of the United States of any size, and the boys can appreciate what the city has done towards looking after their comfort
 Tests Are Made.
 The first test was made at the read of Franklin street at 7th, where a hose was coupled onto the ow pressure water hydrant direct, lewis system. Water would just >arely flow from the nozzle, going bout three feet without any pres sure. The engine was then con lected and the pressure was raised better than 60 pounds, the stream lying over the roofs of the res dences on the hill and for a dis ance of 75 feet. The engine was working against vacuum of 30 pounds, showing that the mains ould not deliver water at this
 
 point as fast as engine could pump lnder 60 pound pressure
 The hose was then connected with he high pressure hydrant at the lead of Seward street, the highest )oint on the system, and steady pressure of 83 pounds was develop d, without using the engine This 'tream was even better than the me thrown by the engine pumping rom the low pressure. These two ests, according to Mir. Hamilton, imply demonstrated the fact that the higher sections of the city are imply provided with fire protection
 Later the engine was taken to the iold Creek bridge at Ninth street and the intake was dropped on the downstream side where the water was flowing past the suction at rapid rate. At this point the en- zine developed an 80 pound pres sure, working against a 20 pound vacuum. The vacuum was caused by the fact that the water in the creek was flowing past the intake faster than it could be sucked up by the engine.

Is there any difference in Ranges?
That is the question that is always
before you when you are thinking
about new range. The answer is
YES. The big difference is in the
construction, therefore the baking
qualities Of the ranges. The Uni
versal stove makers are very par
ticular indeed about the way their
stoves are put together and the ma
terial that is put into them. That
is the reason that the Universal
Ranges always give the best Of SER
vice and bake so well when you get
them set up in your kitchen, and
also the reason that we ABSOLUTE
LY GUARANTEE the service they
will give.
