can, instead. feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the

The action of hot water and limestone

wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans

5 probable that Europe for many
,ears after the war will look to
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
repIenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions OF France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated This adj
dition virtually safeguarded 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 Ia
England, as follows: For September;
$17.76 per hundred pounds; Octosfr
SIPS: November and Dece4ben
$16.0S, and for January, S14.4a The
evident intent of this measure was, to
drive the beef animals iDSS market as
soon as possible
According 70 official French figures,
the cattle OF France have decreased to
a total of 12,341 900 as compared with
IA ,907 900 In 1913 Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France Is pro-
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one>half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
ministration has taken steps 10 con-
serve our flockS and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
erS Of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years, 1t has been a prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
of this country TO kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males If NOT needed TO replenish their
herds rather than go TO the expense o.
maturing them into veal. The hsgh
| prices or meat caused the virtual dis.
continuance Of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is 20 per cent 0f
calves killed for veal this year We're
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
| lard have been as essential to success
in war as powder. which Is true,
The hogs OF Europe have been very
i greatly sacrificed to present day needs
This makes the American burden all
/ the more heavy and makes doubly es-
Sential an increased pork production
in this nation In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under 8 recent order one-four3h
of the hogs were ordered 70 be Killed.
1t is estimated that one-half have now
/ been killed.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never cOnsid-
cred any plan of Selling foodstuffs
owned by hOuseh0lderS. Nor Is there
any policy OF thts kind suggested. for
the future.
In spite OF this fact, the United,
States 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 graffers, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 Will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history, officials In Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved ere
theirs, and theirs alone.
