METER WHICH REGISTERS
TELEPHONE CALLS

A recently invented telephone meter
described and illustratd in the March
Popular Mechanics Magazine, is de-
signed TO prevent errors in charging
calls and to make the service more
satisfactory to the subscriber in other
respects. Being of comparatively
simple construction it can be installed
in the signal case of coin-operated
telephone with slight alterations. The
device comprises two counters which
are actuated electrically and are To-
Gated just back of aperatures in the
front of the case so that they are Wis
ible to the subscriber. When the de-
vice is used with coin-operated tel
ephone il shows the subscriber at all
times how many sails have been made

About Constipation

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement OF the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain
Tablets Immediately after supper.

TREFZ EXP PLAINS
NEED Of SAVING
FOOD FOR ALLIES
Reviews Work for Members Of
Local Administration and
Tells How America Saved
the Allies Before Harvest.

The members of the New Mexico
Food Administration were addressed
yesterday morning by Edward F..
Tref2. of the Food Administration of
Washington. He outlined the import
ance of the work Of the administra-
ton and told about his visit to France
early in the year to investigate con-
ditions over there. He pointed out
that on account of the serious food
conditions in England and especially
in France before the United States
entered the war, that the war would
likely have been ended soon with a
draw and Germany practically con-
Queror.
There existed great unrest in
France and Joseph Cailleau was al
ready stirring up Southern France
for separate peace he sald-
when America entered the war and
the English and French commission
came to America, there were certain
matters to be considered; men, NUM-
lions, money and food. They said they
were prepared to make their own
munitions, that the bill before the
Congress would supply the money,
but they must have food.
When the food administration
was organized and Mr. Hoover placed
at its head the French people espe-
cially were encouraged, they knew
Hoover from his two years in Bel
GUM relief"
Mr.. Trefz then outlined the work
of the administration, what it did to
send food to Europe until ali the sur
plus of America had been sent abroad.
In the beginning when Mr.. Hoover
notified the food controllers of Great
Britain and France that America had
furnished all the wheat that it could,
1t came as a blow 10 the Allies. 1t
looked like the end and they informed
America that they must have seven
ty-five million bushels before the
next harvest to carry them through.
This Mr.. Hoover promptly promised
and by well organized campaign to
save wheat. succeeded in shipping to
the allies one hundred and twenty
five million bushels before the har-
vest That this was figured closely
is ST own by the fact that America had
only q twelve day supply when the
new crop began to come iin."
He recounted conditions as he
found them in France and made it
very clear that it was necessary for
America Ito continue to save all foods
and increase its shipments of food
abroad.
He laid stress upon the fact that
the employees of the local office are
doing extremely important work.
There is no glory in this work but
it is absolutely essential in winning
this war" he said
Mr.. Trefz left last night for Silver
City, ~ NJ, where he speaks Satur-
day night, then going to California to
campaign for the food administra-
ton.
