The occupancy of French and Bel
gian territory, now being deserted
by Germany, will return to those
countries vast mines which will yield
a greater tonnage than the mines of
this country. Coal for overseas con-
sumption will then become out Of the
question. Stoppage of war material
shipments and troop movements will
relieve the demand for coaling ships,
increasing again the surplus in this
country.
So plentiful is coal in Chattapooga
that there is nothing much gohg on
for the local fuel administration, and
much less activities in this depart
ment are looked for in the future.
Lightless nights are still being en-
forced, and assistance given to coal
dealers who, through bad luck or un-
fortunate connections with out-of-
town brokers, find their supply cut
off overnight. Run-of-mine coal is
easily secured. Domestic coal, of a
good grade, is not so easy, and while
the domestic supply is adequate the
poorer classes, who get the most out
Of lump coal, are being forced to
take run-of-mine.

BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
"A Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralsers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-,
servatIon Measures

II is probable that Europe for many
years after the war Will look TO a
great extent to America for its imeal
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demandstfaster than they,can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 1.S00,OO0 head
OF cattle were appropriated. This ad.
dition virtually safeguar,ied Germany
from cattle shortage othei, nations now
suffer.
In England some 2,4OcI, 900 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle W as ordained In
England. as follows: Iior September,
Sl7.76 per hundred pohnds. October,
SIPS; November and December,
S160S. and for January. Sl4.40. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals.into market as
soon as possible.
According TO official French figures,
the cattle OF France have decreased 10
n total OF 12.341-900 IA compared with
1885,. 900 in 1913. Today, due 10 lack
OF forage principally, France is pro-
nf mil w ar IN
before the war two and one-half gal.
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps 10 con
serve our iocks and herds and 10 in
crease their numbers The stock breed
ers OF this country show a disposition
10 cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years IL has been prac-
tice among many OF the dairy people
OF this country 10 kill male calves at
birth and In many instances the fe-
males if not needed TO replenlsh their
herds rather than go to the expense OF
maturing them into veal The high
prices OF meat caused the virtual dis
continuance OF this killing. Another
encouraging fact Is 10 per cent. OF
calves killed for veal this year were
males
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease. meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential TO success
I'm war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed TO present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain Is now
forbidden TO be fed 10 hogs. In Den
mark under a recent order fourth
OF the hogs were ordered TO be killed
IT is estimated that one-half have now
been killed.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan OF selling foodstuffs
owned by househoders. Nor Is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite OF this fact. the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly 10 issue official de-
malls Of rumors that the government
intends Communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
~ by constituencies grafters, who
sought TO profit through buying from
mlsnformed housewives.
The year 1913 will see home canning
and preserving practced on greater
scale than ever before Ia the nations
history. officials in Washington believe
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs. and theirs alone.
