MANY CHANGES IN
 RAILROAD SYSTEM
Thomas J. Turrentine to Return to Local Office.
 Other Changes Noted

The government control of the na- tions railway system has effected many changes in the operations and the serv- ice. The latest change to be made which is of direct interest to the southern states is the abolishment of the sleeping car service to Mobile.
 The Birmingham-New Orleans limited trains Nos. 37 and 3s were announced to be discontinued yesterday. Many of the foreign offices of the roads are now be- ing closed to save overhead expense, and the officials by government order, are reporting to the home offices in order that their new duties may be assumed. It was stated yesterday that while many changes would be made in railroad circles in the character of the work, that there would be no positions lost by the incum- bents.
 Some of the changes which have all ready been announced are: John o. Lin ton, city passenger agent of the Southern at Chicago, will come to Birmingham as assistant city passenger agent to supply the vacancy made by the. resignation of E.. l.. Jeffers.
 Thomas J. Turrentine. district passen- ger agent at Cleveland. O., will be trans ferred to the local office.
 T. B. Harris, chief clerk of the Louis vile and Nashville of Birmingham, has resigned to accept a position with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com. pany at the Ensley office, in the engi- neering department.
 H. S. Burke. Louisville and Nashville ticket seller at the Union station, has gone to Washington to accept.a govern. ment position.
 An effort to conserve fuel and operate the roads efficiently with the least possi. hle loss of energy and time. is the policy adopted by the director general, and il Is expected by the local railroad mer that many changes in the operation vii ranp ha ,,,oda

SAVING OF BEEF
AGAIN REQUIRED
Retrenchment at American Ia
bleS Insures Supplies for
Men at Front.
FOOD ADMINISTRATION ACTS,
Pork Is Permissible as a Substitute,
With Sea Products, Vegetables and
Fruits More Available.

With the increase in the number of
American soldiers in Europe has come
the necessity for the United States
Food Administration to issue a call to
the volunteer soldierly spirit of those
in non-military life on this side of the
Atlantic, men and women, to limit their
consumption of beef.
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment intimated at the graduation of
the West Point cadets this month that
the United States, within a short time,
probably would have at least 100000
fighters abroad, and there are as many
more in environments at home, with
part of the month. Substantial food
must be provided for them.
They are offering their lives can
the civilian not restrain his appetite
by way of appreciation of another
mans life?
The reason for the recent appeal to
the people to refrain from the use of
Notwithstanding pork if heavy meat
food is desired-was explained by one
of the state food administrators who
attended the conference of those Off
Gals recently held in Washington.
Since the discontinuance of the
meatless day." said he, "some consum-
ers have thought the necessity for
meat conservance was past. While
this was the case temporarily on ac-
count of the lack of shipping facilities,
the conditions at the present time
make it necessary for the people of
the United States to reduce their meat
consumption to a certain extent.
"The meatless day has not been re-
established, but meat conservation
should be practiced in every home. For
the present the supply of pork prod
ucts is better than the supply of beef
and poultry, but where possible the
place of meat in the diet should be
taken with milk, eggs and fish.
with the very rapid transport of
the American soldiers to France it is
necessary to increase the export of
food of all available sorts"
We have supplies of ~by-products,
such as OK tails, tongues, livers, kid
neys, sweetbreads, tripe and brains,
because only the meat cuts are being
exported. The use of these COULD be
employed, but more especially the use
of sea food, vegetables and fruit. 1t
would seem possible to eliminate
steaks and beef in view of the album
dance of substitutes, especially during
the summer.

A county food administrator in Kan

traitor of that state that John Sattler,
a wealthy farmer near Emporia, Kan,
had been feeding his wheat to hogs
and chickens, and that when the local
county administrator protested the
farmer replied with disloyal remarks.
The Government brought Sattler to
trial for revocation of his first papers
on the ground that when he swore he

FARMER FINED FOR
DAMAGE FROM RATS

A farmer of Woburn, England, was
recently fined $3.50 for permitting a
stack of wheat to be damaged by rats.
Five or six bushels had been destroyed,
and witnesses computed there must
have been from eighty to n hundred
rats in the stack.
The English National Food Journal,
in commenting on this unusual police
court proceeding, says that one of the
supreme lessons taught by the war is
that the will of the individual must be
subordinated to the good of the COM
munity, that the food of the
country must be conserved and that
farmers cannot be %exonerated from
their responsibility in this regard.

NOT TABOO.

On account of its supposedly German
name sauerkraut seems to be losing
nopularity as an American dish. 1t is
said. however, to be of Dutch rather
than German origin, but in any event
sauerkraut is a valuable food and
adds to the variety of ways in which
cabbage may be prepared. The Food
Administration regards the free use OF
sauerkraut as a means for saving
