Striking figures just announced by the U. S. Food Administration show that the people in the United States consumed more than ten pounds of beef per capita in the ifs cal year 1916-1917 than in the pre- vious year. The average consump- tion of beef for each person was 65.04 pounds for the past fiscal year This condition was one cause for the slaughter of more than a fourth of the total cattle in the country last year instead of little over one fifth, the proportion previously pre- vailing. It has also been accom- panied by shrinkage of more than 33,O0O,000 pounds in beef exports from the fiscal year 1915-1916. These facts help to emphasize the importance of reducing beef con- sumption during the coming year in order to better sustain our Allies and troops in Europe

A Penny here means Burn Over there:

A penny stick of candy or a lolli-
pop in America is a bun in Belgium
and France. Those are the countries
where there are hungry children who
need buns worse than yon eed candy
And if every little American, in every
state in the Union would not spend
that daily penny for candy ANY DAY,
buns with sugar on them, could be
given to the hungry children over
across the sea, and they would be-
come fat, and healthy and happy like
yourself.
Now that sounds like magic, and
magic it is white magic, of the
very finest kind. AS magic is quite
difficult to understand, you will have
to read every word of what follows
in order to see how the trick is done.
You see, the story of how an Amer
lean lollipop can turn into a Belgian
bun-just like that's very much lik'
the story that ends with dog won't
bite pig, pig don't jump over stile, and
| can't get home tonight"
Let's pretend that we have come
to the nice part at the end, where
the pig finally jumps over the stile
and the old lady gets home, all be-
cause the cat, way off yonder. be-
gan to eat the rat. In this story it's
the little Americans, who begin to
save on lollipops. and the bun that
