Systematic Food Saving

Systematic food saving is beginning to tell.
One of Richmond's restaurant owners sells
one boiled ham week now in comparison with
three and four year ago. Besides this his pur-
chases of meat show decline of 200 pounds.
If every restaurant in the United States shows
a proportionate decrease of meat consumption,
owing to meatless days and general desire of
the public to eliminate meat, gratifying food
conservation is under way. It's full meaning will
assert itself at the end of the year when statistics
viii show the saving effected all over the coun-
try.
Tabulation Of meat saved in one meatless day
in New York City last November shows 193,545
pounds.
An estimate places the number Of homes in the
United States 22,0OO,000 Every time family
conserves one pound of meat, 100000 pounds
are saved for our army and the Allies.
The United States Food Administration urges
housewives to observe meatless and wheatless
days with fidelity One report to the Admin
stration from wholesale house that sells to both
hotels and butchers says that the former had a
30 per cent decrease while the retail trade and
homes showed only 1919 per cent decrease. 1T
is time," says the Administration, "that every
housewife was following the example set her by
the hotels and public eating houses and having
definite meatless and wheatless days in her
MENACE"
Ninety per cent of the hotels in the Southeast
are obeying the request of the Administration.
Virtually every hotel and club in Chicago is
carrying out the conservation program.

MEXICAN PLANS IF GERMANS ARE
 All. GQNE: ANRy

CIIIIIUAilI'A CITY, Mexico. July 1o.-The American blacklist has shattered one of the German plans for the commercial conquest of Mex icO. Before the United States cn. tered the war and prior to the last Mexican revolution German business organizations scattered throughout northern Mexico gave evidence of the German intention to exploit the Mexi. can markets.
 One German wholesale hardware firm started to establish branches throughout the state more than forty years ago, and at the outbreak of the revolutions had branches in operation in Juarez, rasas Grandes. Santa Ro salia. Ojinaga and other places. with a parent store here.
 While these houses were conducted on business lines, 1t is considered here as significant fact that all the Ger man Consuls and vice consuls for this part of Mexico were appointed from among the managers and assistant managers Of this concern In Juarez, Casas Grandes and Santa Rosalia the branch managers were also German vice consuls: the consul in Chihuahua City also being one of the managers of the parent store here. The vice consul in Juarez was decorated by the German emperor for services ren- dered Germany on the border
 When the revolutions started these German stores were the first to suffer because they were well stocked with wagons, harness and other supplies needed by the revolutionists The
The Cordova daily times., 1918-07-10

Juarez and Casas Grandes branches were footed and burned. and now only the parent store here remains in business.
 What the revolutionists failed to do to wreck these German stores the American blacklist completed at the beginning of America's war against Germany. Now it is almost impossi- blc for the German firms to obtain Supplies and Mexican buyers fear to buy from the blacklistcd firms for fear Of being placed on this blacklist and denied th" privilege or importing from the United States.
