INK MUST HAVE PROMPTED
poushboy Chose Poor Time to impress
Companions With His knowI-
edge Of French.

A Y. M. @. A. secretary with the ex-
peditionary force in Paris (not Abin-
ira and not Sacca Donna, but another
one who prefers to remain nameless)
tells US this one:
Some Yanks attended a theatrical
performance the other evening. l
speak French pretty well myself, and
I went along with one of the boys as
an interpreter. After the curtain had
gone down on the first act, the prin-
cipal comedian came out and ad-
dressed the audience. When he had
finished. my companion broke out in
vociferous applause.
"Why did you applaud that curtain
speech?" l whispered.
II wanted to make some o. these
other doughboys think l understood
French" he whispered. "What did the
guy say?"
"He announced to the audience"
answered, sadly. that his part must
be taken by an understudy for the rest
of the performance, as he had just re-
ceiyed word that his mother was
dying. Plain Dealer.

have to guard constantly against an
upset stomach and the many ills that

Common Practice to Turn Flock Into

A practice quite common among

the corn field, after the corn is well
tasseled. The sheep will clean out
the weeds and grass, and usually will

of the corn.

BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American stock Hsisers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servatlon Measures.

II Is probable that Europe for many
years after the war Will look to n
great extent TO America for It's meat
supply.
Europp's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replonished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France ana
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This al
dition virtually safegunrded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained In
England, as follows For September,
$l7T6 per hundred pounds, October,
SIZES: November aud December,
SlGOS. and for January, S14iO. The
evident intent of this measure was TO
drive the beef animals into market as
soon rs possible.
According TO official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
n total Of 1891 300 as compared with
14.SO1 900 I'm 1913. Today, due to lack
OF forage principally, France Is pro
duclng only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food nd
mlnistration has taken steps to con-
serve our flocks and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers Of this country show disposition

this.
For many years 1t has been a prac-

Seizure OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of SELLING foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor Is there
my policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
srates food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
mails of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies sErafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
mislnformed housewives.
The year 1913 viii see home canning
md preserving practIced on greater
scale than ever before In the nation 8
history, officials In Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
