Tho movement looking toward
Council of Defense Ia Delaware dates
back to last April, when The Stale WAS
asked by Secretary OF War Baker 90
provide such a council 90 cooperate
with the national body and councils OF
other states. Since then there have
been consiau demands for this from
the Federal authorities. according TO
/ information obtained In Governor Town
sends Ofiice The Governor showed the
records when asked about the history
OF the movement. A representative or
the National Council Of Defence has. Wis

the request was made, both on invita-

time making a survey Of conditions

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 it is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $2OO,0OO,O00 a 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 adul-
ter0ted war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf
at o cents and the one pound loaf at s
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Fve1
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flOcks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
nlendOus 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 il 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 yir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head--were driven behind the German
lines. .ea y.
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, $1608; jan
larry, $14.4O. 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
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 600 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only r.
341, 300, u decrease OF 1853 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 MEATLEes
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is q fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to e. Fl. 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 Ave or Rix
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop 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 IL very small portions as fla
vorlng for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
broad field for investigation.

avoided much more easily and cheap
y than il can be cured. The aim in
studying the diseases Of poultry is,
therefore, TO learn how to prevent
such diseases rather than how TO cure
them. Cleanliness is the first and
most important step in all measures
for disease prevention.
How To Prevent Disease.
It is very important to start right
and begin the flock with birds that
are free from illness and parasites,
and to put such birds upon ground
which is likewise free from these
causes of disease. II all the avail
able ground has been recently used
for poultry the fowls should be re-
moved from that part which is TO be
used for the new or winter flock. a
good coating OF freshly slaked lime
should be applied TO the entire sur
face of the ground. and a few days
later 70 should be spaded or plowed.
It may be cultivated three or four
times with intervals OF a week ana
finally sowed with rye. or other grain.
IN a few months the greater part Of
the germs will be destroyed
in order to keep the flock In a
healthy condition. the premises must
be frequently cleaned and occasion
ally disinfected. There are a number
Of reason for this. First. there are
certain germs generally present in
the intestines even Of healthy fowls
that are scattered with the manure,
and which. when they are permitted
TO accumulate and become very num-
erous. may cause outbreaks Of dis
ease: second. the germs Of contagious
