BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying S200.O00,0oo year toward the
cost of 1t.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets, at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the atful-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at is cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France. under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction. the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
\ From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

( American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
.tration reports that American stock
,raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today Is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
,er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory = approximately 100000
ihead-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
,$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS |;
November and December, $16.0S; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as pOssible
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown ali
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14.S07, 900 head of
cattle In 1913, she now has only r.
1900, a decrease Of 1876 per cent.
And France Is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MAKING MEATLEss
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field Tor developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to Z. III. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette. who be-
ilieves that the present shortage. of
meat and fats win not end with the
coming of peace. but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while TO
develop menus of grain. vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis Meat can be replaced by cereals

served In very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
mea,less menus this author finds our
