ECONOMY URGED IN USE OF ALL
 KINDS OF MEAT

In making its announcement that, for the present, there will be no re- instatement of meatless days and meatless meals, the Food Admint- stration is emphasizing the absolute military necessity of strict meat economy and greatest possible elim- nation of wheat. Milk and fish foods are suggested as meat and wheat from Washington as follows:
 | '"The Food Administration is ex- tremely desirous of securing econo- my in the consumption of all kinds of meats without the re-installation of the meatless day for the present. The seasonal decline in the volume of animals coming to market is now in progress and it's volume will un- doubtedly further decline during the next few months as usual, but the probable amount of such de- crease is yet obscure. The necessi- ties for shipment abroad to our Army and the Allies are very large and amount to, roughly, 75,000,0 ,00O pounds of meat and meat products of all kinds per week, as against a pre-war normal of less than 15,0O0,- pounds. Even with these large ship ments the Allies have found 1t nec- essary to reduce the consumption of all kinds of meats and poultry to an average of about 1 1-2 pounds per week per person, in order that nc further draft should be made upon shipping that is now required for the transport of our soldiers. Our con- sumption of meats is about 3 IA pounds. per week per person and ii we are to make both ends balance during the short marketing season we must have further economy
 If the public will continue in the vigorous elimination of waste and will further economize by reducine the quality prepared for each mea of all kinds of meat and poultry more particularly beef, and will re. strict their purchases accordingly the Food Administration hopes tha1 the necessary balance can be main. tained.
 "A general adherence to these re. commentators will avoid the incon. venience which arises in many di rections from the meatless days There is now a seasonal abundance or milk products which can well bt substituted in various forms. Int shortage of fish during the past sev eral months, due to the necessity o, naval requisitioning of trawlers anC enlistment of fishermen for the Navy should be soon considerably relieved by the expension which has been ar ranged in other forms of fishing."
 The exportations ofbeef for Marcl are also the highest in the histor, of the nation and tota1ed S7,244,38} pounds.

RESERVOIRS AND FORESTS URGED
 FOR PALESTINE

London, May 15.---Correspondence of The Associated Press.)---Two prin- cipal recommendations which the Civ ilian Commission now in Palestine will make as beginning for the re- |construction of that country will be a scheme for beginning afforestation, and a proposal for the conservation of water supply by storage and by opening up old springs.
 A preliminary statement from a member of the committee says: "The greatest of all Palestine's needs is af- forestation. For centuries the land has been denuded of it's trees, with most disastrous consequences. For the heavy rains at certain seasons, instead of beneftting the soil, over more than four-fffths of the area carry away in rushing torrents much of the little soil that remains on the high lands and valley slopes.
 Palestine has not always been tree less The Roman emperors had val uable forests in the country, and Alp salon, riding, was caught by the hair among the trees, but today one might gallon from Dan to Beersheba with out having to duck ones head to avoid branch.
 .Tees of rapid growth will be planted, and for the more cultivable districts fruit-bearing trees will be utilized
 "The storage of water in lakes and reservoirs is comparatively simple in Palestine. By erecting small dams across certain valleys, a series of small reservoirs can be constructed at little expense, creating supply that will last throughout the dry season. In Southern Palestine hundreds of natural springs can be opened up which under centuries of misrule have been allowed to choke up and fall into disuse.
 Palestine today possesses an ad- vantage it never had before in a first class railway connection with Egypt. All the surplus crops will find ready market in the growing Egyptian cities"

 Notes From Mexico

A new fruit containing a large per centage of oil has been discovered in the reglon of Torreon, and is known by the name of 'tchichopoxtle." Ex- perlments show that 25 per cent, of Its contents consist of oil of great value in industrial pursuits requiring lubricant of high quality. It is proposed to introduce the cultivation Of this fruit upon a large scale. The Congress of the State of Mex 1co has adoted law declaring of pub lie use all lands whose owners do not cultivate them. The local authorities of each municipality are given power to allot such lands to those desirous of utilizing them for crop production, with due regard to the preservation of the trees, etc, thereon. No person is to be granted more than 75 acres for his personal use. The title of the owner is not affected and the culti- vator must not be molested.
 The National Health Board under the direction of Dr.-J. M. Rodriguez is contemplating steps to check the flood of Chinese immigration that is coming into the Republic. Large numbers have recently gathered at the Guatemala border with the desire to cross into Mexico, but it has been
 found that many are afflicted witf contagious diseases and for this req son it is believed that restrictive measures should be enacted.
 Another new oil well has just been brought in in the Alamo district near Panuco, which at depth of 2,115 feet yields about 10000 barrels daily. The first indication of oil was encountered at 1860 feet. This is only one of many wells being drilled by foreign con- Icerns
