No Beef For This Hotel

The Hicks hotel in Savannah. one
Of The large hostelries of the state,
will not be allowed to serve beef in
any form until January l, 1919.
The concern was found to have VIC
lated the rigid beef conservation or

day-and excessive use of wheat

In lieu of action by the Food Admin

the Savannah Red Cross chapter and
agreed to use no beef whatsoever pri-
or to next January.

FOOD FACTS

The demand for beef for the army
the allies and their civilian population
for this summer is beyond our present
supply and as a consequence the food
administration is asking that the con-
sumption Of beef of all kinds be great
ly reduced for the time being. On the
other hand we have increased our
supply of pork and an economical ex-
pansion of the use of this product is
advisable at this time. Milk, cream
and butter are now abundant and rep
resent on many farms "perishables"
not marketed. These products with
cheese may well be used to make up
for the shortage of beef and supply
the necessary protein and fat to bali
ance the diet of fresh vegetables.

Every meal in the rural communi-
ties and the city communities as well,
where they have followed to the food
administration recommendation to
plant garden, should now be a gar
den party. The use of the home
grown garden and orchard products
now will release immense amounts of
the more concentrated and staple
foods for the Allies and soldiers and
for the people living in industrial cen
ters where gardens are impossible.
1t is not patriotic to use canned goods
at this time when fresh products are
available. Immense stocks of com.
mercial canned goods must be reserv.
ed for the army and navy and every
home can help to build up this sur
plus by eating fresh foods and can
ming all they need for themselves.

A Stern Indictment.

1t is a bitter fact that it is safer
to be a soldier in the trenches
than a baby. in the cradle, ac-
cording to figures quoted by the
Women's Auxiliary Committee,
Minnesota Commission of Public
Safety, Council of National De-
fense.
while the death rate of men
in the trenches is about 2 per
cent per annum the death rate
Of babies under one year in Min
nesota is z per cent" says a re-
cent report from the committee.
Thus it will be seen that it is
safer to be a fighting man at the
front than to be baby"
There are, of course, many
causes for this, but no one can
doubt but tn at overworked
mothers, undernourishment, and
poor living conditions each play
their sinister part. Socialism
cannot abolish infant mortality,
but it can and will bring about
conditions which will decrease it
materially. The New Appeal.

rope That Started The War and

Recent dispatches regarding
allied successes In Serbia and
Bulgaria, considered in con
nection with military events IN
Palestine, Siberia Italy and
France, are causing some specu-
latlon as TO whether or not the
decisive struggle In this great
war is TO take place In the
troub breeding section OF Eu-
rope IN which 1t began-the
Balkans. For many years the
worlds sages predicted that
these quarrelsome little states
would one day set the world on
fire, and they did, at most fright
lul cost, but through no fault OF
their own; and, perhaps, one OF
these states Bulgarian W
takes the first step IN the making
Of lasting world peace, by sur

The Bulgarian press is SAID TO
be even now almosta a unit IN favor
Of peace, and as the armies Of the
allies proceed further to overrun
that country the desire for a
speedy termina ton Of hostllities
Is bound TO increase. Fortunate.
ly thereis no such hideous indict-
ment pending against Bulgaria

there should be no great d,fficul
ty IN arranging peace terms with
this little Balkan stste whenever
she makes proper overtures; and
when Bulgaria makes peace the

Austria, already weakened and
discouraged by domestic depriva

mand OF her people for peace on
whatever term may be possible,
especially since such terms will
doubtless be much less harsh
than those TO which her northern

SPANISH INFLUENZA.
Is This Mysterious Infection a New

Is il Grip?


Is this new disease which has
already killed hundreds and
stricken thousands of,our soldiers

pen that this epidemic appeared

such widely scattered cities and

Sm:tten as from a bolt from a

cumstances, there is much spec
ulation regarding the matter.
Perhaps because there seems to
be a rather natural disposition TO
ascrlbe about everything that is
perfdious in the world today to
Germany, some have ventured
the guess that the disease may
have been introduced and spread
by German agents. This theory,
however, Is generally consid
cred as being not only entirely
groundless but really absurd,
for 1t seems hardly conceivable
that, If Germany undertook an
offensive Of this kind, she would
choose such a mild and humane
sort OF disease. A much more
plausible explanation would seem
to be the simple fact that the re-
cent cold snap caught the country
entirely unprepared for such
severe weather and, as a result

Of the year colds are frequent and
they often result fatally; and 1t
may well be that, but for the high

no occasion for special alarm or
