Serve Too Many Foods.

Food conservation is quite as
important as food production.
People of this country can profit
by the experience of European
nations at war, and at the same
time effect a great saving in
their living expenses. European
peoples started conserving food
when they were forced to do so,
but the people of this county can
avert the necessity by beginning
now.
A meal may be we'll balanced
and appetizing, and still be
subject to reduction without
loss to body needs. BY cutting
down the number of foods
served the cost of meals can be
materially decreased. Futher-
more, there is no necessity for
folks to eat more than they
need. By doing without the
excess which is usually
consumed, we can make
available just that much more
food for future needs.
We cite the following meal as
typical: Clear soup; macaroni

GADSDEN MAN
 TELLS A STORY
To the Editor of The Age-Hsr.,,.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Tn connection with the strenuous fight being made in your city for president of the board of commissioners. I am re- minded of the following little story:
 Once upon a time there lived in Bir- mingham young man who had gone away. After a generation or so one day he returned to his native haunts and aiighting from the train at the terminal station he looked in amazement and said to friend: Why, this is not Birmirfg- ham, l must get back on the train" His friends insisted that he remain and that he would soon demonstrate to him that he was now in his old swimming hole
 After breaking through and arriving in the city he looked in much bewilder- ment at the tall buildings and the pie ture shows and his friend said: Now you see this is Birmingham" but he re- piled by saying: Surely this is not Bir- rningham. and where Is the old dummy and Joe Wheelers,'' etc. The two friends walked on and finally arrived at the building where MT. Barber and few others live. His friend said: Sam, this is the city building, don't you recognize it?' but by this time the prodigal was busy counting his checks when ali of a sudden his eyes frightened and his breath came in short, quick whiffs as he looked toward the elevator and as the man stepped forth he grabbed him, shak- ing his hand fiercely and cried; George, how glad I am to see you, now l know

 The Meridian case brings into the limelight again the question of the grad ual replacement of the state regulatory Jurisdiction over the railroads by the interstate commerce commission. In a similar case the national body overrode the state commission when it raised the Texas intrastate rates to an equality with the rates from Shreveport to points in Texas territory common to that Lou isana city and the competing Texas points such as Dallas. The Meridian freight bureau Is now taking the same tack in an effort to get an equality of rates from Meridian into trade territory in Alabama common to their shippers and hippers in Alabama cities.
