MeatLeSS Days
Are No Saving
Cotton Claims
Meat Director Says High
Wages Causing More
Meat to Be Eaten.

washington, D. c.. March 20
AfeatIess days have not conyersed the
meat supply, Joseph P. Cotton, head
Of the food administrations meat
division today told the senate commit
tee investigating food supplies but
on the other hand, he believed there
had been more meat consumed on
those days than usual
Cotton said he believed that while
many persons observed the meatless
days, others who previously had not
used much meat were enabled to do
so by the high wages they were re-
ceiving and this resulted in a net in
'rease OF consumption rather than
saving.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1918-03-20

raisers' problem prevents me from
blaming high prices on them
We have high prices for meat be-
cause the world is at war and because
there is g greater demand and a
smaller comparative supply than was
ever the case before And the wonder
is that prices are not higher. Civil
war days found them higher, despite
the fact that there was then no world
war and no world shortage.
No HOardinE OF Meat.
"Hoarding meat is another ground
less charge often made. Normally. the
amount OF meat OF all kinds in storage
or in a process Of curing in all the
packing plants and at all the storages
Of the whole country represents less
than two weeks supply for the nation
Under war conditions which have
made IL necessary to enforce meatless
days in order TO get supplies for ship
ment abroad, the amount in storage
has been augmented considerably but
not 20 an extent that is entirely sat
isfactOry to those upon whom falls
the responsibility OF meeting demands
from abroad"

Washington, D. c., March 2o.-One
Of the most disastrous effects which

the indispensable food for children

out the necessity Of increasing and
I conserving our milk supply.
Cannot CurtaI ChiId's Food.
In order to supply food to the allies
this country must prepare TO feed an
ever increasing number. This can be
done IN two ways-by increased pro-
ductiou or by decreased use or FOOD.
