Letter
Queen Mothers Gift Bible.

Upon one of his journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind it was decided
with reluctance that this also must be
abandoned.
AS the Bible contained on its fly leaf
a message written by Queen AleXan-
dra, the fly leaf was cut out, also the
page containing the Twenty-third
Psalm, and the chapter in the Book OF
Job which speaks of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end of the journey and brought
back to this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society to be
sold on behalf of its funds.

SWISS TO GET LESS BREAD
Plea to Economic Accompanied Gov.
eminent Notice Of Reduced
Ration.

Berne, Switzerla6d.-Notice Of the
reduction in the bread ration for
Switzerland from $50 to 225 grammes
daily, beginning December !, has been
accompanied by an urgent plea from
the government to the people to econo-
mize on two pounds month from the
card allowance. This saving would
amount to 27O carloads of flour each
month, or enough to stretch the avail
able supply of -four in Switzerland
from February to March.
The Swiss are urged, above all, not
to follow the example set in the first
month Of the card regime when on the
last day all the leftover tickets were
utilized to hoard flour.
The present allowance Of $50 grams
of bread is based on all the supplies
on hand and on the probable Swiss
harvest. A still further reduction be-
low 225 grams is probable unless the
Swiss answer the governments appeal
to save bread until flour supplies ar
rive from America.

British Food Controller Takes
Drastic Action.
Also Raises the Standard Of Beverage,
Which Cuts the Brewers
Profit.

acknowledgements "beer' In fu-
ture must be up to standard. Up to
the present date any weak or washy
compound that could possibly be vend-
ed has been described by the vendors
as government ale," with the result
that the words government ale" were
being used by the public as form
Of wit.
Since the limitation Of brewing to
100000 barrels year many brewer
les have been making larger profits
than for many years past. The stand
ard enabled them to make larger sup
plies than the brews they had been
supplying. One Of the big London
brewery firms at the end Of last year
paid deferred dividend for the first
time In ten years.
The food controller has now fixed
maximum price for ale Of eight cents
pint for light brews Of an original
gravity of 1896 degrees and ten cents
for brews between 1896 and 1852 de-
grees. Beers Of the ten-cent quality
are permitted to be sold as govern
ment ale," but the lower grades are
no longer to be sold under that title.
Brewers must mark the heads of
the casks distinctly with the price at
which the contents are to be sold. Pro-
vided that brewer agrees to brew so
per cent. Of his ele below the orig
inal gravity of 1912 degrees he will
be permitted to brew 20 per cent more

Recently, when he was In
specting the marine corps camp
at Quantico. Va, enthusiastic
officers demonstrated some new
tank style gun tractors for him.
They ran the machines on the
level, then up grades and over
obstacles. Secretary Daniels en-
jOyed the demonstration. but did
not burst forth into expressions
Of great wonder.
Then the officers volunteered
to run machine down into
trench, up the side and out
again. Another said he could
make his machine climb wall,
but Secretary Daniels led his
party on to inspect something
else.
"I've heard they've got ma

Kaiser Sends Conscripts Abroad
Before Entering Into Ac-

CUT DOWN RATIoNS AT home
Germans Take Food From Invaded
Territory and Export it to Scan
dinavia to Keep Up "retense
Of Shipping Food.

Londoa.-New information Of high
ly interesting character concerning
German food supplies has been obtain
ed. Submarine crews are now the best
fed Of any of the fighting men in the
whole German service. This has been
ordered to attract men to 1t.
At the same time 1t is Germany's
intention to do most of its submarine
recruiting among the men Of its mer-
chant marine service because of the
high mortality in the undersea work
and the necessity of saving the regular
naval officers and men for the high
seas fleet.
Food Camoufiaoe.
In order to send per cent of Ger
many's foodstuffs to Denmark and
Sweden, this amount, it is stated. Is
being withdrawn from persons In Occu-
pied territories. It is considered vital
ly necessary as propaganda that Ger
many should be able to make pre-
tense Of sending food outside.
To help counterbalance this expor-
tatiOn, 1t is known that In recent
months Germany has been sending a
considerable number of conscripts into
neutral countries to fatten up, prelim-
mary to active service.
The shortage In food in many big
manufacturing centers has led to the
return home Of many highly skilled
Dutch and Scandinavian workmen, de-
spite high wages offered. Others pc
riodically 60 home to put in a few
weeks on better rations, returning
again to obtain the higher wages.
The latest food statistics from Ger
many, which cover q period from Au-
gust to the present time. indicate that
new -four was placed In market IN
Berlin during August. whereas year
ngo It wasn't done until November.
This was imperative because Of the
shortness Of the potato crop In some
sections. Seven pounds weekly is the
flour ration now, as compared with
ten and half pounds last year.
There has been heavy increase
In the price Of condensed milk through
out Germany since August.
Causing Night Blindness.
The dearth of fodder Is the most
dangerous aspect Of the food situa-
ton because Germany Is trying to
maintain large amount of live stock.
The ration has now been reduced from
$50 grams to 200 and $50.
Germany's leading medical men are
now more frank than ever before in
statements that malnutrition, IL con-
tinued long, will mean the elimination
Of the weakest and explain that night

Neutral doctors testify to the in
