The Campaana.

The Campagna is the great plain sur rounding the city of Rome, rolling gen. tly down, like quiet sea, over the bones of dead cities from the noun. tains to the Mediterranean. It is low. desert level tufted with rusty grass and halOed by a mist of romance and ma laria. It is one of the most historic and most unhealthful bits of country in the world. A slow, subtle beauty be longs to it, which has taken powerful hold of some and which others never feel.

The report states that "the rest in
bed is harmful for these cases, and
should be avoided at all stages of
treatment except in instances Of
severe heart pain, severe headache

COMMUNAL FEEDING TO BE
ESTABLISHED IN ENGLAND

/, London, April 25.-(Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)-
Communal feeding will be establish
ed on a large scale in London thi:
month, under the direction of the
Food Controller. The kitchen of the
largest hotel in London will be utili-
zed for preparing the food, which
will be distributed over a wide area
by means Of local depots.
Then intention at present, is not
so much to provide cheap food for
poor persons, as to provide econo-
mically prepared food for all classes,
the idea being thus to conserve
available supplies. Mrs. Pember
Reeves, woman director Of the Food
Controllers Office, defined the pur-
pose of the new move as follows:
1--WE shall have a central kitchen
where food can be cooked in the
most economical way, 50 that the
best possible use is made of the sup
plies available. We shall not bake
bread. We shall hope by providing
nourishing and palatable meals to
get people to eat more of their meat
rations and so tighten the consump-
ton Of bread, which is the most i'm
portant thing just now. We shall
take foods that are comparatively
plentiful such as salt fish which
is coming on the markets in large
quantities, and make it into a great
variety of attractive dishes. It is
not question of money-saving, but
of proving that the sound scien ific
handling Of food by a skilled staff
is economy in food.
with such a kitchen we ought 20
be able to feed 10000 persons with
the same food which would have
fed 5000 if prepared in badly man.
aged private kitchens. We shall be
ready to supply meals to dukes and
duchesses from the kitchen as well
as working people. 1t will not be
restaurant, but a distributing center
from which a large number of local
depots are supplied daily with pre-
pared food for sale. There is no
question Of philanthropy it s hoo
ed that the kitchen will be self-sup-
porting. At the present time many
poor people cannot afford the meat
ration, but we hope that we shall en-
courage the eating of meat as again
st bread by supplying it in an eco
form.
"The plan will depend for success
largely upon the cooperation of the
local authorities, who are taking a
practical interest in it. Committees
formed under the municipalities
will control the local depots, arrang-
ing methods of distribution"
