pounds. including the bsne, per per
son in the household
The Real Reason.
The real reason for this conserya,
tion Of beef is seen in a telegram from
Mr.. Hoover:
Beef in storage has decreased from,
BAG. 06e. 600 pounds on January / 70
2S, 000. 00e pounds on June l. or this
latter amount. 10000. eco pounds Is
meat in process of preparation FOR
and shipment to allied countries and
for use Of our army. The balance rep.
resents less than three days supply
to the country. The demand for beef
for our army and the allied armies
and their civil population for this sum
mer are beyond our present surplus"
Every county food administrator has
been sent copies OF these special m
structions. with a request to distribute
same to all retailers of sugar and 20
all hotels. restaurants and other public
