NEED BIG HERDS
EuTOpe'S Meat Supply Must
Come From America.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 2,A00,O00
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently Is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, S17.2S; !;
November and December, s$16.08; jan
larry, $14.4O. The effect OF these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality havs shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 49,
341,90O, a decrease of 1865 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
=, because of the lack of ne cessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc'
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MAKING MEATLEsS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there ia a Ter
tile field for developing new and noL>T-
ishing dishes. according to e. Fl. Miles,
writing in the Hotel 0lzette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for FIVE or six
years, thus making It worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served In very small portions as a fla
voring for other food In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine

REDUCE FIRE DANGER
Ordinance Up to Regulate
Rathdrum Garages

An ordinance empowering the
Rathdrum board of village trustees
to require garages and automobile
repair shops to be conducted ac-
cording to fire protective regula,
tions under the permit system,
passed its first reading at the meet
ing of the board Monday night.
Its object is to minimize . the
danger of fires. 1t was drawn to
apply to the fire limits only, but
the board decided to extend it to
cover the entire town.
This ordinance would require
owners of garages to comply with
the following provisions:
Secure permit to engage in the
business.
Have 3.gallon fire extinguish-
err.
Keep buckets and barrels Of
sand available to extinguish oil
fires.
Concrete floors.
Ventilation.
Electric lights.
Keep gasoline in closed or sealed
cans.
Allow no open fires, no smoking,
and use no sawdust for absorbing
oils.
A penalty of $25 to $Ioo fine or
imprisonment, is provided for vic.
lation of the ordinance.
The ordinance will be up for its
second reading at the next meeting
and may be amended. Some OF
the features will probably be modi-
fed or stricken out. Much oppo-
sition appears to be developing
against the concrete floor provision
on account OF the expense involved.
Many people consider the other
features very commendable as
safeguards against fire.
The board also passed on its first
reading an ordinance regulating
the storage of gasoline and install
lation of oil tanks and pumps, also
on the permit system. This is also
fire protective measure as it is
designed to prohibit careless hand
ling of inflamable materials.

SPURN CONTROL
Lumbermen Oppose Govt TAX
ing Over Lumber Industry.
President Asks Power To Take
Charge of Lumber and Logging.
BY L. c. MARTIN.


Washington, March lathe latest
war power asked by President Wilson
Authority to control lumber and
logging business-is being withheld
today while congress investigates to
learn its need.
The president wants authority to
commander standing timber, to
designate what timber shall be cut
and of what lengths, and then to say
how it shall be sawed.
Logs and lumber are among the
most badly needed products for Amer
icA's war program. Both the shipping
and the aviation programs have suf-
fered from lack of the right kind of
lumber at the right time and in the
right place.
Give LumbcrWen Hearing
But congress. convinced by lumber
men that the pending bill giving the
president the authority he asks may
be unnecessary, will give the lumber
and logging interests a hearing, begin
ming today before the senate military
affairs committee.
The timbermen will tell the COM
mittee that it is not necessary for the
government to commander any tim
Der
Let us in on the government policy
tell us whether the shipping board
has a concrete plan for the building
tee to get out the lumber" is to be the
keynote of the timber mems plea.
They made the same plea before the
senate commerce committee inveSti-
eating the shipping situation.
Claim They're Up i'll the Air.
According to witnesses before that
committee, there is no lack of timber
no lack of labor, no lack of money to
develop new tracts, but there is no in
forma ton available as to how far the
shipping board is going with its
wooden shipping. Hence timber men
won't spend money to extend roads
and railroad spurs, into new tracts.
Some definite action was expected
today from both houses and senate on
the railroad bill conference report;
held up by senate opposition, and be-
cause the house was busy on other
matters
Conferences will begin this week on
the $1.1SO,00O, urgent deficiency
bill, passed late yesterday by the SEN
ate, with increases of s73, 100000 over

KAISER WINS ROLE!
DEVIL A HAS-BEEN
SAYS BILLY SUNDAY

Chicago, March 1S.-Billy Sundays
sawdust trail is open today. The first
man to pass down the aisle and grasp
the evangehst's hand was a grey
haired man in the uniform of briga-
der general; the second husky pri-
vate in the United States army. 1t
wasn't real trail hitting-just spon-
taneous handshaking reception.
Billy had just finished another fiery
denunciation of the kaiserites-"born
of a cannon ball and nursed from a
brewery"-when the uniformed men
walked down to shake his hand.
The devil is a has-been and a
piker compared with that gink." Billy
exclaimed. commenting on Emperor
Wilhelm.

rheumatism is caused by uric acid

cold weather the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work they become weak and

According to Doctor Henderson s
