Food and Fuel Supplies Are Short ir
Many European Countries.

A Swiss commercial paper states
that there is a great shortage in coal
of all kinds, an insufficient supply of
wood for fuel, and small reserves in
oils and grease throughout Switzer-
land Fresh eggs have disappeared
from the market. Dry vegetables are
becoming more scarce. A project to
manufacture flour from potatoes had
to be abandoned because sufficient
supplies of potatoes could not be Sc
cured.
In Holland coal and coke prices
have been advanced. In American
terms, the maximum price for anthra-
cite is about $22 a ton; coke, SO a
ton; coal briquets, $25 ton, Dis
tribution is carefully regulated by
cards. in specified quantities. The
amount allowed, especially to resi-
dences. is much smaller than in
peace times.
New French food regulations for
bid eating houses to serve or con-
sumo fresh or packed butter other
wise than in the preparation of food.
Curdled or sour milk is prohibited as
we'll as cream and specified kinds of
cheese. The making of pastries, bis
cults, and confectionery is prohibited.
Only in dining cars, canteens, and
railroad refreshment stations may
fresh or condensed milk or cream be
served after 9 in the morning, by it
self or mixed with coffee, tea, or 9TH
er preparation. No solid foods may
be served between 9 and Ii IN the
morning and between A 80 and $3.50
in the evening. When the price of a
meal exceeds S1.20 the customer may
be served with not more than two
dishes with or without vegetables, or
more than one small loaf of ordinary

Reduction of Fuel Used by Manufac.
tuners Is Plan of Administration

The Fuel Administration is carry
ing on series of conferences cover
ing all industries which use large
quantities of fuel, with a view to
learning the requirements Of each line
during 1918. The industries them
selves are playing leading part in
these discussions. The aim of the
Fuel Administration is to arrive at a
percentage of production which,
under the circumstances, will be sat
isfactory to the manufacturers and
their workmen, but which will not
represent consumption Of fuel for
the manufacture of supplies not
needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the pro-
duction of window glass to so per
cent of the amount manufactured in
1917 is the result of one of these con-
8erences. A survey Of the field in
dictated that while not more than s.
100000 boxes of window glass would
be used in 1918, competitive condi-
tons were likely to result in an ov-
