FOOD CARD FOR DOGS
French CANNES Are Likely to Be
"Hooverized."
FEEDING Has Become Serious Problem
Great Shortage in Gasoline and
Tobacco.

Paris.-The dog population Of the
republic has been living, fighting and
suffering with the human population
in resisting the German octopus, and
is now about to be restricted by
Cards along with the humans.
The latest system to be announced
is that, following the demands OF the
Agricultural Society of MOulins, the
government is considering the intro
card that will entitle dogs doing use
full work for the country to their
proportionate share Of dog biscuit.
Since the first of the month an
other discommoding scheme has taken
effect. No gasoline can be sold, even
for domestic uses, such as lighting,
heating or cooking. The government
stated energetic measures had to be
taken, in view Of the fact that the
stocks Of gasoline were almost ex-
hausted and it would be dangerous
to permit them to become further
depleted.
A ruder shock for the entire male
population of France, which smokes
almost to a man after reaching the
age Of twelve, came with the publ
cation Of the news that there was no
more tobacco to be had. Imported
English tobaccos are still to be OBJ
tanned in limited quantities, but the
price is prohibitive to the average
Frenchman.
The reasons given for the tobacco
shortage are the increased consump-
ton by the soldiers in the trenches
and the decreased production and I'M
portation, due to the lack Of bottoms.
A good deal has been said about
the establishment of a tobacco card,
but the government has suggested
that system Of voluntary rationing
be first tried out. If this Is unsuccess-
full nothing will remain but the addi-
ton Of one more card to the rapidly
growing list.

CHANCE FOR FORTUNE.
Fame Also to Man Who Cures
Measles and Mumps.
Dread Measles More Than Any
Other Disease.

Washington. Fame and fortune
await the man who can trace to it's
source that periodical bugbear Of the
1rmy and navy-the measles and
humps epidemic.
Eor some unknown reason, when
ever troops are concentrated, either
In large camps or on board ship, one
Of the first diseases to make its ap-
pearance is the measles, and this dis
ease which most of us place In the
category Of childhood ills, is one OF
the most dreaded by army surgeons.
Symptoms Of the disease appearing
in any of the men is the signal for
the immediate quarantining Of the
soldiers company and the barracks
where he is located. Fumigation of
the barracks then follows and every
precaution is taken to prevent an
epidemic.
An after-effect Of measles, greatly
feared by army surgeons, is the devel-
Opment Of pneumonia, and it has been
found that the fatalities among ma
ture persons are much greater than
with children. The pneumonia result
has been more prevalent in the canton
ments located In the southern states
than in those Of the North or West.
Generally speaking, surgeons look
for humps at about the time that
measles appear, and are rarely disap-
pointed The fatalities through mumps
do not begin to reach the number OF
those by measles, but the same rigid
quarantine is observed in both cases.
For many years the best surgeons
in the army have been working on
theories that would eradicate the
source of these diseases, but they have
to admit that they are now no nearer
q solution than ever before.
This is the season Of the year that
the epidemics usually start, and 1t
would not be surprising to hear of
the quarantining of entire canton
ment posts in all sections of the coun-
try through the holiday season.

URGES PATRIOTS TO
EAT MORE CLAIMS

Portland, Ore.-"Eat elams,"
Is the advice Of DR.. G. II. Ed
mondson, assistant professor Of
zoology at the University OF
Oregon, to all patriotic Ameri-
cans who are trying to conserve
the nations meat supply. He de-
clares the clam is as palatable
as the oyster and has a similar
food value.
Doctor Edmondson suggests
the use of the clam in place Of
red meats, which the govern
ment is striving to conserve.
This suggestion comes as the re-
suit of a survey he made recent
ly under the direction Of the
United States bureau Of fisher
les. His object was to discover
the edible species Of shellfish, to
find where they may be obtained
in quantities and to perfect a
means of co-operating'with those
engaged in marketing this sea
product.
