The allied nations. have made
further increased demands on

that Americans are obligated to

In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to

shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232> pounds each In
stead Of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministratiOn, endeavOring to ad.
just the International food BAL
anee, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption Of ~breadstufs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week

meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.

DISEASE SPREAD BY ANIMALS
Scientists and Physicians Have Pre-
pared Strong Indictment
Against the Beasts.

Although animals are not affected
by the sickness and communicable dis
eases of man, yet, for some unexplain-
able reason, the scientists and physi-
clans declare that whole host Of
ofttimes fatal ailments of mankind are
traceable to the beasts, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The horse is blamed for spreading
CHAMBERS, rabies, lockjaw and other dis
eases of five or more syllables. Dogs
and cats are branded as the circula-
tors of rabies, parasitic worms of diff
ferent kinds, fleas and ticks.
The cow is the worst offender. The
list of diseases laid at her barn door
is headed with tuberculosis and grows
constantly more blood-curdling, until
we wonder why physicians and scien-
lists consent to the use of milk, butter
and cheese which still lead the dieti-
tians' list of nutritives.
Rats, squirrels and fieas spread the
bubOnic plague. We are prepared to
believe that lice and bedbugs, flies and
mosquitoes are the rapid transit lines
for yellow fever and malaria. We are
willing to forego the luscious oyster
all the year around, if need be, to
avoid typhoid fever.

When letters Were a Luxury.

In our modern speed of railroad
travel, and the consequent facilities
in the transmission of mail matter all
over the civilized world, it is well
enough to look back to the time when
letter writing was luxury INDUCED
in only by few, and communication
between friends at distance well nigh
an impossibiIity. In its first applica-
ton the word post" meant courier
or carrier of messages.
