VERMONT WINS DISTINCTION.
Commended By National War Savings
Stamp Committee for Ranking First.

Jumping from thirty fifth position to
twelfth in the per capita sale Of u. S.
war savings stamps since the national
campaign was started January and
attaining first position during the month
OF July was the distinction which came
to Vermont as the result Of concerted
efforts by the people of the state, So
fine was the record that it has called
particular attention to Vermont and
state Director Fred a. Rowland has re.
ceiyed many congratulatory messages
from directors of campaigns in other
states, as well as from the national com
mittee.
The national committee wrote: aAc-
cept heartiest congratulations for the
splendid success which came to Vermont
in the sale of war savings stamps dur.
ing the month of July. You must take
a great deal of satisfaction out of the
fact that your state on the per capita
basis was No, | for the entire country.
Your success for the one month was SO
great that II placed Vermont in position
No. II for the entire country at the end
Of July and easily No among the east.
ern states,
Having gained this distinction, Yer.
mont people will be unwilling to let
Vermont's record be dimmed during the
next four months. The total per capita
sale in Vermont up to August IL was
1854, the total purchase being S3,040,.
1885. During September, October. No.
vember and December Vermont must
purchase approximately S3,250,00O more
stamps. Those who have pledged must
remember to make good their pledges
and those who have not pledged must
start buying at once. As Director How
land says: 1T now becomes our duty
to maintain this fine record by seeing
that the pledges made are fully kept
and that additional pledges and sales
are secured sufficient to reach the states
allotment by Dec. 81"

KITCHEN A FACTOR
IN VAR SITUATION
Vermont Housewife Has Learned That
from Her Own Experiences in Les
sened Market and Curtailed
Consumption.

AT the end of year Of food admin
istration the housewife is well aware of
the fact that her kitchen is an inter
national factor in the war situation
Production and distribution and con-
sumption are not mere technical words
to her. She has keenly experienced the
effects of rise and fall in production, of
restricted or inadequate distribution, of
curtailed consumption.
Consequently, the news item about
drought in the southwest section of the
United States has more than a passing
interest for her. Il is forcing abnormal
numbers of cattle to market, increasing
enormously the amount of beef available
for home consumption. And her ex.
perience, sharpened through war condi-
tions, suggests that prices for this beef
viii be lower. The beef being thus
rushed to market is light weight beef.
The animals run about 400 to AIS pounds
dressed weight, while the beef used for
the army and navy and for export is
above AIS pounds. But it is good beef,
particularly desirable for consumption
in this country. Not so good for export,
for the heavier beef, protected by fat,
keeps better.
The consumption of this beef, in the
most effective way will be distinctly
beneficial not only to the producer, hard
hit by the severe drought, but also to
the householder. Realizing this, the
food administration has relaxed its re-
strictions on the consumption of beef
and is indeed urging eonsumption--con
sumption of this lighter beef, with care,
Of course, and with the most scrupulous
avoidance of waste. or over-abundant
use.
The householder who was accustomed
to purchase heavy steaks, roasts, etc,
will effect a material saving by pur-
chasing this lighter beef Prices will
vary, naturally, in the widely separated
sections of this country, and in the diff
ferent marketing conditions to which
dealers are subject. But in any case
such differences as are shown in the
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-09-05

markets at Boston and New York
(where heavy steers are sold at $2661s27
per hundred, medium at Sl9@s2l, and
liehtest beef at $l46Sls) should be re.
Elected in the retail price. 1t is plain
that a dealer who buys at S26 per hun
bred normally and now purchases light
cattle at $40 can make some difference
in his price to the housewife.
1t must be remembered, however, that
local conditions govern the meat situa-
tion and no general price level prevails
In many cities too, the heavy beef is
not normally sold for household con
sumption, but trade is usually in the
medium and light weight beef. In such
places therefore little difference in price
can be noted.
The housewife with knowledge of pre-
vailing conditions can govern her pur-
chases and consumption of beef, choosing
cuts from the light weight steers. She
can realize that intelligent consumption
is the logical corollary of conservation,
and a contribution TO the war, inasmueh
as it releases desired foodstuffs for mill.
tary purposes.

sent out to the overseers of the poor Of
the cities and towns maintaining poor
houses letter calling their attention to
section 1915 of the general laws, which
reads as follows;
"Sec. 1915. 1t shall be unlawful TO
keep any dependent child in any poor
house, except in cases of emergency, for
period not to exceed 90 days"
The legislature, in its wisdom, has de-
clared against the practice of maintain
ing dependent children in poorhouses Of
the state and it has been found, in some
instances, that the children are not kept
separate from the adult population of
the institution and they are, of neces-
sity, compelled to live under conditions
and in an environment which deprives
them OF their natural right of fair op.
portunity to grow into good manhood
and womanhood That every boy and
girl, whether rich OF poor, shall have, so
far as the state is concerned, an equal
opportunity and fair chance of meet
ing and solving the problems of life, |
am directed by the board TO ask for your
cooperation and compliance with the
section above referred to.

AMERICAN DEAD TO
BE BROUGHT HOME
Will Lie in the Soil of France Only
Till the End of the
War

Washington, Sept. 5.--Americans who
lose their lives in the war abroad will
be buried there only temporarily.
Where Identification is possible the
bodies will be placed in marked graves,
TO be taken up when the war is over and
brought home. This plan was disclosed
by the publication of an agreement be-
tween the army and the navy regarding
the transportation of sick and wounded
from overseas. A section which says
that the remains of all officers, enlisted
men and civilian employees who have died
or shall die hereafter in France, will be
buried in France until the end of the
war, when the remains shall be brought
back to the United States for final in
terment, and that the remains of those
who die on ships en- route to or from
the United States, shall be embalmed
and returned to the United States.

SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
In Various Entente Countries, Together
with Wholesale Cost.

The total sugar consumption in the
United States for l0l7-l9lS was s,2ls,.
$4,000 pounds In Great Britain the
total consumption for 1916 amounted to
3,lSl ,l9S000 pounds. In France for the
same period it was l,l4l ,242, 900 pounds,
in Italy, 5530O6,O0O pounds; while in
Canada, for the year ending March 81,
1917, the total amount of sugar con
sumed was 704,40O,000 pounds.
The wholesale cost Of sugar por hun.

ada, $3.50 in England, SIPS in France
and $26.30 in Italy, as compared with
wholesale cost per hundred pounds in
the allied countries was Sl252K, 50
that if the United States had paid the
same price for sugar as that paid by
the allied countries, our national sugar
bill would have been increased by

In Sweden, sugar is now selling at IA
