The Sugar Waste in
Coffee and Tea

The following bulletin was among
the most forceful and effective bits
of conservation propaganda at the
New York Food Show last month. 1t
was put out by the National Sugar
Refining Co., of New Jersey.
Save the waste.
100 million cups coffee used daily
in United States.
20 millions cups tea used daily in
United States.
10 million cups tea and coffee.
If even an average of half tea
spoonful of sugar per cup is left un-
dissolved at the bottom of cups OF
tea and coffee, the waste would be
100000 pounds of sugar daily.
Stir your sugar until it dissolves.
It's estimated that one-third to one
half of all sugars used in homes is
used in tea and coffee. Think it ov-
er-how is it in your home? Isn't
there chance for saving?

LAND, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST r. 1918

cation of the national prohibition
lieve that prohibition can be effective
until it is nationwide
because of his preference for the
Kelly wing of his party over the
Mahon wing in the city. This criti-
cism has not come from the general
public, which is interested for the
greater part in efficiency of the men
appointed than in their factional af-
filiations. There was complaint at
the time regarding the previous rec
ords of several of the men appointed
police justices. This complaint has
been stilled by the performances of
the justices. 1t is still an open ques-
ton among Democrats whether it
was good politics to give greater rec
ognition to Kelly than to Mahon. The
Governor is as '.sot" as the famous
Indiana bulldog when he once makes
I'D his mind. He was convinced by
his friends here--some'of whom act
ed. perhaps, for ulterior purposes
that the Mahon organization KNITTED
him" at the polls. This charge found
Judgement in his mind and has never
been removed. He studied the cleo
ton returns carefully and found that
he had been cut" in several wards
in which he had expected loyal sup
port. Governor Harrington was not
accustomed to reward Democrats in
Dorchester county, where he was his
party's leader, for disloyalty, and he
applied the same idea to those Baltl-
more Democrats who, according to
information impaired to him, had
not given him their support. How
ever, whatever may be the factional
complexion of the Governors ap-
pointments in Baltimore, there has
been no public criticism of their acts.
There has never been a State admin
istration with as few scandals as that
of Governor Harrington.-Sun

Tells Aged People How TO Get More
Strength.

Here is another link in the chain
of evidence to prove that our famous
cod liver and iron tonic Vinol creates
strength for feeble old people.
Mr.. Nelson H. Pease, of the Ma
tional Soldiers Home, Tennessee,
says:-"I am IA years of age and
was in a weak, debilitated condition,
poor appetite and did not sleep well.
Vinol gave me Q sooG appetite. L
sleep well, and it has built me up so

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
 From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
 Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds in order to meet Europe's tre- mendous demands for meats during the war and probably for many years afterward.
 The United States food admins tration reports that American stock raisers have shown disposition to cooperate with the government in in- creasing the nations supply of live stock.
 Germany today Is probably better supplied with live stock than any oth- CT European nation. When the Ger man armies made their big advance into France and then retreatsd vir- tually all the cattle in the invaded territory - approximately 1,S0O,OO0 head-were driven behind the German lines
 But in England-where 2,4OO,OOO acres of pasture lands have been turn ed into grain fields-the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently Is the declining maximum price scale adopted by the English as follows: For September $l7.76 per 100 pounds October, SIT. .2S i; November and December, $16.0S; Jan lary. S14.40. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the mar ket as soon as possible.
 In France the number of cattle as we'll as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,S07 900 head of cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,- 341,9OO, a decrease of 16.6 per cent And France is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two and one-half gallons before the war.
 Denmark and Holland have been forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef because of the lack of necessary feed.
 Close study of the European meat situation has convinced the Food Ad- ministration that the future problem of America lies largely In the produc- ton of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than In the pro- duction of cereals for export when the war will have ceased.

cost of 1t.
 All the grain grown in Great Brit ain is taken over by the government at an arbitrary price and the imported wheat purchased on the markets at the prevailing market price. This is turned over to the mills by the govern. ment at price that allows the adul. terated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at cents.
 In France, under conditions some what similar, but with larger ex' traction. the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents.

MAKING MEATLESS
 DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is a fer tile field for developing new and nour' ishing dishes, according to E. H. Niles writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be- lleves that the present shortage oi meat and fats will not end with the coming of peace, but may grow more acute and continue for five or six years, thus making 1t worth while to develop menus of grain, vegetables and fish on a more or less permanent basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals and other protein foods, or may DC served fin very small portions as ma voring for other food. In making up meatless menus this author finds our American Creole and southern cuisine 6 broad field for investigation.
