NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
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 a 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
head--were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 2,4OO,OOO
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
ara decreasing rapidly. One of the
reaSens apparently Is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds October, $17.2S;
November and December S16OS; 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 an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,S07 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only r.
BAL 900. decrease Of 1873 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.

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 $200,0OO,O0O year toward the
cost of it.
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 price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT,

In the meatless menu there Is a fer
tile fold for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes. according to e. II. Niles,
writing In the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, making 1t worth while to
develu. menus of grain. vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our

Grand View.
Heuer-Bragg Wedding

"A WeuulnS OF great interest TO
the community was that which took
place at the home of Mrs. A. Bragg
on Wednesday evening, February 9Th.
The contracting parties wree Miss
Mildred, the only daughter of the
late Rev. A. and Mrs. Bragg, and Mr.
Frederick Heuer, a prosperous young
rancher of Grand View.
Although the bride Is one Of the
most popular young ladies in the vi
entity and numbers her friends by the
scores, the wedding was very quiet
affair, with just the relatives and a
few of the most intimate friends Of
the family in attendance. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Fetch
er of Jerome. Shortly after the young
couple left for their home at the
Heuer ranch, which is located two
and one-half miles southeast of the
hall, where they will be at home to
their many friends In the future.
Miss Mildred came to Idaho from
Michigan with her parents when quite
little girl, and by her loving, SYM
pathetic manner has endeared herself
in the hearts of all who have come
to know her since coming here. Mr.
Heuer's former home was in St.
Louis, Mo-, where his parents still
reside.
The congratulations and best wish
es of the community at large are ex-
tended to Mr. and Mrs. Heuer and
that all the happiness and joys that
are possible may come to these young
people in their new life.
On next Saturday evening, Febru-
airy is, at the Hall will be held the
annual club celebration. 1t has al
ways been customary in the past for
the directors of the club to give a
dance and oyster supper at this time,
which amounted to somewhere in the
neighborhood of $40. This year 1t was
decided upon to have a social gather
Ing for everyone In tho neighborhood,
the ladies to furnish the supper and
not have the dance and oyster sup
per as In former years, but the same
money to be used in purchasing paint
in which to decorate the building
with.

ferent- classes of jobs on the Pennsyl-

burgh, according to a statement just
compiled for the period up to March.
This is an increase of more than
5000 women since May /, 1917, when
the railroad advertised for women to
take the places of men called away to
war and other positions.
Included in the positions held by

CONSTANT ITCHING AL
MOST UNBEATABLE

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema, with its terrifying irri-
tation and ceaseless itching
know what constant torture
this disease can cause. The dis
ease appears in different ways,
sometimes with a reddening and
irritation of the skin, sometimes
in the form of blisters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form
of dry, scaly condition of the
skin that cracks and peels. But
no matter in what form the dis
ease appears, it is a source Of
constant fiery irritation that is
well-nigh unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid-
cred skin disease. This is n
natural mistake, as it attacks
the skin and it is through the
skin that it causes so much dis
comfort and suffering But the
real seat OF the disease is the
blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irri-
tated and diseased condition of
the skin is the result of the
germs trying to break out of
the system. Beyond the use of
antiseptics to promote cleanli-
ness, there is no local treatment
that will accomplish a perma-
nent cure of this disease. And
those who have been relying al
together upon salves, soaps,
ointments and other local appli-
cations to the skin will find that
no permanent good will come
from such treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
who resides on Confederate
Avenue, in Atlanta, Ga, found
relief from this terrifying dis
case, after all local treatment
had failed. He writes:

PENNSY BORROWS
MANY ENGINES
Government Locomotives Aid
in Big Rush on the
Main Line

How badly motive power was
needed by American railways, par
ticularly the Pennsylvania system,
is shown by tabulat2d report in the
current issue. of Railway Age, which
indicates that the Pennsy has bor-
rowed 1873 engines from the Govern
ment and other railroads.
ON the Pennsylvania Railroad
proper, or the lines east of. Pitts
burgh and Erie, thirty-five locomo-
tives were obtained from other
roads, while twenty-eight were
turned over to the company by the
United States authorities, making a
total of sixty-three borrowed en-
gines on the Pennsy.
West of Pittsburgh
Eleven Government locomotives
and siXty-four from foreign sys-
TENS are in service on the Pennsyl-
Vania lines west of Pittsburgh, or a
total of seventy-five. The Keystone
system has more temporarily lent
motive power than any road in the
country, according to the table.
Erie railway officials report fifty
two borrowed engines working on
their lines, while the Baltimore and
Ohio is third in the list with thirty
eight, none of it being u. S. A.
equipment. The Long Island Rail-
road and Grand Rapids and Indiana,
both. Pennsylvania-owne railways,
each have three engines not their
own.
New York Central Second
The, New York Central system, Sec
ond to the Pennsy, has only four
borrowed locomotives, having fur
nished much of it's extensive motive
power to contemporary roads, but
is carrying on its vast volume of
traffic. ..... ..-
Altoona railroaders will be partic-
ularly Interested in this report, as
the Pennsy has been handling the
bulk of the militar" traffic accruing
from the war, although severe
weather last winter and relative
conditions caused serious impedi-
ments to motive power. Some bor-
rowed engines were in service on
the Middle and Pittsburgh divisions,
but no u. S. A. locomotives were
seen in this section.
