TO BAR FOOD CORNERS
France Plans to Prevent Boost
in Prices.
Food Minister Is Inclined Toward
Monthly Ra~tioning Scheme-Po-
tatoes Plentiful.

Paris.-M. Victor Boret, the French
food minister, it is said will bring be-
fore the cabinet important measures
for preventing the increase in meat
prices and in the cornering of sup
plies. The commission that he sent
to London, 1t is understood, has re-
ported un~favorably on the introduce
ton, for the present at least, of the
English meat card.
The French bread card has given
good results and the food minister in.
clines toward the monthly meat card,
which for 10 days will entitle the
holder to two and a half ounces OF
meat, for eight days four and q
half ounces of tripe, rabbit or fowl, and
for four days six ounces of cold meat,
He points out that the French herds
have suffered much more than the Eng
fish, there being larger supplies oil
fish and frozen meat in England thar
in France. M. Boret adds that there
are plenty of potatoes, that he is try
ing to increase the catch of fish, anG
that larger quantities Of macaroni In
its various forms will be available.
Parisians who sometimes find that
their baker supplies them with bread
of a darker flour than usual are ad
vised in a note issued by the food min
istry not to make this a reason fol
buying at another shop. The varia
ton In the color is due to the fact
that some of the wheat imported from
the United States is for reasons OF
tonnage economy not refined to the
same degree as in France, and trans
port difficulties sometimes prevent the
making OF uniform mixtures. AS the
same variety of flour is rarely deliv
cred twice in succession to the same
baker, it is in the customers inter
est that he should always make his
purchase at the same shop.

UTILIZE The GARBAGE
Food Administration Says Biz
Saving Can Be Made.
Housekeepers Urged to Keep Kitchen
and Table Refuse Separate
From Other Waste.

Washington.-A campaign for the
Utilization of garbage has been inaugu-
rated by the United States food adj
ministration, which Is advising all state
administrators to spread garbage
utilization propaganda through their
territory and urge upon housekeepers
the necessity for keeping garbage
(kitchen and table refuse) In a sepa-
rate container from other house
refuse.
Figures and statistics issued by the
food administration show hat In one
ton of garbage there is sufficient
glycerin to make the explosive charge
for ID 75-millimeter shells, enough
fatty acid" to manufacture 70 pounds
of soap, fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels of wheat and a score Of
other valuable materials essential in
the manufacture of munitions.
1t is also pointed out that "a cities
of over 100000 are not utilizing gar
bage and that the combined popula-
ton, which is estimated to be over
100000, is wasting 100000 pounds
of nitroglycerin and 49, O 900 r.
ounce cakes of soap besides 10000 tons
of tankage, which contains fertilizer
elements sufficient to produce a 3,OOO,-
900 bushel wheat crop. The value of
this loss of materials is estimated at
$5,O0O,OOO.
In 20 cities where there are garbage
utilization plants the figures show that
a combined population of 100000
people are utilizing these products. to
the value of over $11 ,000, 900 annually,
and that a large percentage of this
saving is being directly used by the
government in munition making.
But in these 20 cities, or most of
them, large amounts Of garbage are
destroyed by burning or made useless
by being mixed with other wastes.
If in these 20 cities the garbage was
kept clean" or free from bottles, tin
cans, crockery and other foreign mat
ter, the saving to the government
would be many million dollars more.
The responsibility devolves upon the
shoulders of the housewife, who is
urged to see that nothing but garbage
goes into the garbage pail. Other
house refuse has a value but it's value
Is lost and the value of the garbage
Is lost If refuse and garbage are mixed.

president was himself an editor, with
habit of writing veg long articles for
his paper in Georgia, and the cOntem-

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of life and death
struggle on the Western front In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health One of the
Chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
OF house, factory or Office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
49, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken }, which has stood the
test of fifty years of approval-namely,
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for
the Spring Fever" the general rundown
condition, the lack of ambition, the
blues" one should take a course of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery, now to be had in tablet form in
sixty.cent walls. Watch the people go
plodding along the street. There's no
spring. no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract of DR.. Pierces
gives you the power to force yourself into
action. The brain responds to the new
blood in circulation, and thus you're ready
to make fight against stagnation which
holds you in bondage. Try 1t now! Don't
wait! Today is the day to begin. Gain
little pep" and laugh and live. Vim and
vitality are the natural out-pouring of a
healthy body. It does not spring up in a
night. Try this spring tonic, and you gain
the courage that comes with good health.
