American Stomachs
Must Soon Be Placed
On Real War Footing

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Ameri-
can stomach should follow the example
set by those of her allies in the war
and her enemies.
Most of US eat ourselves stupid
one said. I'm Germany and England
and France, they have, been compelled
to quit that; and insurance statistics
show that the adult civilian population,
except where the food supply in Ger
many has sunk below the amount actu-
ally needed to insure health, the people
are better off for it."
Official government information shows
that what this man says of Germany
is true of the middle and poorer classes
only. The rich, still find opportunity
and inclination to make dining room
pigs of themselves.
The official referred to makes the
suggestion that American over-eaters
quit their appetite habit voluntarily.
But in Germany, where the scarcity of
food IS critical, many strange tricks
have been resorted to to compel the re-
form.
To lessen discrimination by hotel
keepers in favor Of the rich with heavy
appetites, Vienna hotels have establish
ed standard" meals, paid for at a SET
price out of a common fund subscribed
to in each hotel by the guest, rich and
poor alike Everything calculated to en-
courage appetite has been eliminated
from the "simplifed" hotels. 20
