ever, has any attempt been made to
compile an exhaustive list of holidays
for the guidance of bankers and mer
chants. This task has just been com
pleted by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York City.
Contrary to the popular notion, the
new democracies of the west enjoy
greater number of holidays than their
sister nations of the eastern hemi-
sphere. OF the 81 nations or depend
encies listed Brazil leads with "a holi-
days. The United States, with "a, is
a close second, although she, unlike
Brazil, practically ignores the church
days. Another popular delusion is
shattered when we find that France
has only 1S formally observed days
and Italy only % We had supposed
the Latins always outdid us in this
particular. Among the other belliger
ents Germany, it is presumed, will oh
serve 20 days next year Great Brit
ain 10, Japan Is and Russia II.
The United States has no nationa
holiday. Acts of Congress and Presi
dents pronouncements in this respect
apply only to the District of ColumbiH
and the territories.
Among the favorite months Of holi
days the world over November leads
with 26 out of its possible 80 days
May comes next, with 25 and an addi
tiOnal Sunday not otherwise celebrat-
ed thus actually tying November in
the number of days closed to business
March, on the other hand, is the long

BIC HERDS GONE
World War Wastes Europe'S
Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralsers Cooperate
With Food Administrator In Con-
servatlon Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a.
great extent to America for It's meat
supply,
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be-
replenlshed.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions OF France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head.
Of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
bltlon virtually safeguardeS Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
hres been forced into grain production,
hus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices Cor live cattle was ordained In
England, as follows: For September,
I17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
I1728; November and December,
I16.0S, and for January, $l4.4O. The
evident intent of this measure was to
Irlve the beef animals into market as
loon as possible.
According to official French figures,
he cattle Of France have decreased to
total Of 1884, 900 as compared with,
4,s07, 900 in 1918. Today, due to lack
If forage principally, France is pro,
luclng only one gallon Of milk where
before the war two aud onc-half gal
Ons were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
pinistration has taken steps to con-
Ierve our nOcks and herds aud to in
rease their numbers. The stock breed
krs of this country show 4 disposition
% cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years 1t has been a prac-
lice among many Of the dairy people
bf this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males II not needed to replenish 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 rs 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
In war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.

Seizure OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid
cred any plan OF SELLING foOdstuffl
owned by hOuseholders. 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 TO Issue official de-
mails 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
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practlced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history, of''cials in Washington believe
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, ana theirs alone.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear, There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube IL
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed. Deafness 10 the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
