MeatIess and WheatIess Days.

Some idea of what is being ac-
complished by the meatless Tues
day and the wheatless Wednes-
day may be gathered from the fol-
lowing reports received by the
Hotel Division Of the United States
, Food Administration.
In response to the request Of the
Food Administration that those
two days be set apart each week
for food conservation. the move
ment has become nation wide and
in the public eating houses of the
United States especially. Tons IF
food are thus saved to send across
to the Allies and the armies.
A large New York hotels sends
the following comparison of the
consumption of wheat -four during
October of this year and of last.
In 1916-Persons served 115, 1856
and in 1917 1924; Barrels of
wheat -four consumed in 1916. 163
and in 1917 Isl: Average consump
ton per person in GIG AS and iii
1917 3. 90 ounces.
Reports from the Childs resta-
urants throughout the country
show that on each meatless Tues
day the saving in meats now a.
mounts to about seven tons. This

Lise of Physicians and Medical
Resources For Use Dur
ing War.

A medical census of the state, which
would place before them the physi-
clans and medical resources OF Vir-
ginia will shortly be undertaken by
the state council OF defense. AS the
war proceeds there will be two fields
In which physicians can be used--one
in the military and naval service the
other in the civil life OF the state Both
are equally important. and in order to
ascertain the number OF the medical
men in the state. and where they can
best be used. the census will be taken.
1t has come to the attention Of the
council that many co 1munit'es in VI E

al this time. In order that these NAV
be taken care Of. aud the rs1uire-
ments of the -militar-- for -pA"A!ciaRs

lfeved by the council 10 be necessary
Already a similar work has been CON-
pleted In New York. which is proving
of great, value. Medical associations
In the state will be enlisted in assist
ing the council in the work.
The state council of defense has re-
ceived letter through Governor
stuart from DR.. G. X Vanderslice, Of
Phoebus. Va, secretary OF the Vlr-
ginia committee OF American Physi-
clans on Medical Preparedness. In
which the support of the committee
is pledged the governor for any defense
work where their services are desired.
The letter is as follows:

at all ends OF the business line. The
