Meat Supply is Inspected.

Every pound of meat or meat prod
ucts which reaches the mess tables of
Uncle Sans fighting forces is In
spected at least twice by experts of
the United States department of agri
culture - first at the establishment
where 1t is packed or prepared, and
finally at the camps. This extra pre-
caution Is taken to prevent food made
unwholesome by adulteration or
through tampering by enemies from
reaching American soldiers and sail
ors. Laboratory analyses of samples
taken from supplies at the camps show
If the foods have been made injurious
by tnmpering.
Twenty-six hundred experts of the
mcat-lnspection service of the depart
ment of agriculture are stationed
throughout the country at establish
ments which prepare meat and meat
products for interstate and foreign
commerce. These inspectors person
ally examine the live animals, the car
casses, and all parts thereof at the
time of slaughter. They continue to
inspect and to reinspect the meat and
meat products throughout the differ
ent stages of preparation. All meat
which is unsold, unhealthy. unwhole-
some. and otherwise unfit for food is
condemned and destroyed in the pres
ence of the inspectors. Some 20 in
spectors of this service have been de-
tailed to the various military and
naval camps. All meat and meat prod
ucts for the army and navy are OBJ
\ tanned only from inspected establish
ments. and every consignment must
bear the government stamp "Inspected

Oyster Fishing by Submarine.

Mr.. Simon Lake. the father of the
modern submarine. has suggested the
use of the submarine for polar eNplor;-
tion, for ferrying supplies across ice
bound rivers, for seeking sunken treas-
ure. and for dredging oysters.
Experiments have demonstrated to
Mr.. Lakes satisfaction that when the
submarine is at the bottom of the
ocean, the oysters can be sucked up
into 1t on the vacuum cleaner prin-
ciple. When traversing good ground.
the submarine will suck up 5000 bush
els of oysters in an hour. This means
that in one hour mass of oysters
will be collected which, If conpactly
piled would require cylinder one and
three-qunrters mile long to hold 1t.
The idea should be particularly usefu'

FOOD CONTROLLER OF
CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In
creased at All Cost.

In his letter to the public on the
1st Of January, Hon. w. ]. Hanna, Can
ada'S Food Controller, says -
Authoritative information has
reached me that food shortage in Eu-
rope is terribly real. and only the
sternest resolve on the part of the pro
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part Of all as consumers. can pos
sibly save the situation.
France last year had a crop be-
tween one-third and one-half that OF
normal year. Women did the work
of draught animals in "A determined
effort to make the impoverished soil
of France produce every possible ounce
of food. They now look to us to make
up their deficiency of essential sup
plies.
THE harvest in Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
1T is impossible for the allies to
spare many cargo carriers to transport
foodstuff from India, Australia. New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub-
lie. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering Is to be avoided and the Tight
ing efficiency of the armies maintained.
"On December /, the United Suites

domestic requirements on the basis OF

States Food Administration is endeav-
oring to bring about reduction of ~
per cent in home consumption of wheat
and -four This would release 100000
600 bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly five times that

portable surplus of wheat after allow

The surplus today is not more than
11OOOO,OOO bushels. reduction of 20
per cent in our normal consumption
would save an additional 1OOOOOOC
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs in Europe
next year is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such is the situation-grave beyond
anything that we thought possible d

are aroused to a realization of what
the world shortage means TO us, to oui

cheap Source of Protein.

Milk at Is cents quart is as cheap
a source of protein as sirloin steak at
34.3 cents pound or eggs Mt 41.9
cents a dozen. Milk at the same price
Is as cheap a source of energy as sir
loin steak at 21.2 cents pound or
eggs at 20 cents dozen. Protein aud
energy are two important necessities
for which we eat food. Milk contains
the bodybuilding materials-protein
and mineral substances, such as lime
and phosphorus-needed to renew body
wastes and promote growth by form
ing new tissues and fluids; and it also
supplies the energy for carrying on
body functions.
The average person in this country
uses only little more than half
pint of milk daily. This quantity can
be increased very profitably when safe
milk is available. Many persons think
of milk only as beverage. but if they
understood that IT is really n nour-
ishlng food they would increase the al
lowance. Economy in the diet does
not always depend on limiting the use
of certain foods, but it is sometimes
n question of actually increasing the
use of foods which furnish nutritive
material at relatively low cost. Milk
belongs to the latter class and the
housewife would DO well to study its
food value and decide whether her
family is using MS much as 1t should.
