HORSE MEAT IN NEW YORK

BROOKLYN Eagle: 1t is now nearly
two years since the board of health
lifted the ban on the sale of horse
meat in the effort to reduce the cost
of living. The introduction of the
food has been slow, but five shops,
two of them in Brooklyn, are now re-
ported to be advertising horse meat
for sale.
The demand for this cheap meat
has been increased by the wartime
food prices, and some of the butch
ers in Manhattan who compete with
the horse meat stores are issuing cir
culars denouncing the new food and
stirring up prejudice against II.
whether as a result of the circulars
is not clear, but one of these horse
meat stores in First avenue, Manhat-
tan. has been attacked, its windows
having been smashed in on two sue
cessive nights.
Neither the circulars nor the at
tacks are likely to interfere with the
spread of the demand for the new
food. The manager of the company
which is introducing it says that
crowds are drawn when he opens a
new store and that in one case he had
to call on the police to keep order
among his would-be customers. In
cases of food scarcity horse meat has
been eaten in many countries. The
great prosperity of the United States
has kept il out of our markets mere
tofore but the wartime scarcity and
high prices are likely to establish II
as regular part Of the diet of people
who can Y afford to pay for beef. Inc
objections to it are sentimental and
not hygienic, so that, as relief from
high prices, its use is to be welcomed

WHAT is LIBERTY?

TRAITOR. It is this truth that pa

Nv openly threaten them with death

femarks hurtful to the military forces

erances should be eurbed. In the
nest the q. s. government has granted
b much license to its citizens, in re-
meet to speech, and now, in the inter
"a of public safety, it is necessary to
withdraw these licenses. Some persons

Marks made yesterday, but the public

WHY SAVE FOOD

Lord Rhondda, food dictator of Eng
land, says that the food situation in
Great Britain is so serious that the
nation will be obliged to resort to
compulsory rationing OF its population.
Conditions in France and Italy also are
declared to be serious, but consolation
is derived from reports that in Ger
many and Austria the food supply is
vastly shorter than in the allied coun
ties. We in the United States, while
asked as a patriotic duty not to eat
meat on Tuesdays OF food '=ade from

wheat on Wednesdays, and the amount
of sugar which we may consume has
been limited, really have not begun TO
feel the pinch now keenly experienced
in Europe because Of lack of food
stuffs. But each of us should bear in
mind that the food which we can spare
will greatly strengthen our allies, and
for the slight saernice we are now cal
led upon to make we shall be rewarded
thousandsfold if we win the war; and
if we lose, we shall suffer untold hard
ships which could in no way be compar-
ed with the slight Inconvenience we are
asked to undergo today.

WARTIME DRESSES

Dictation of what women shall an
nually expend for dress during the war
seems to be in order The Chicago De-
signers' association, composed of men,
realizing that in war times fashion and
thrift must walk hand in hand, has out
lined what it considers suitable ward
robe for a Chicago society woman, and
its cost amounts to only 5000.
Following is the itemized list of
how much woman should spend on
clothes in year:
