to confirm the nomination and again
were there four votes cast against it

EXTRA MEAT RATION

New York. June 21.-The production
in America last year of dressed meats.
including lard. amounted to 2o,129.S0o,
600 pounds-a quality never before APP
preached in magnitude by the live
stock industry of his or any other
country. The corresponding figures
for 1917 were 1897. 800. 900 pounds, ac-
cording to department of agriculture
statistics. Three-fourths OF this enor-
nous increase was in pork. and one
fourth was in beef.
The surplus in 1918 was so great
that the extra demands for export made
little Impression pom it. There was,
nevertheless. a very great increase in
the overseas shipments as compared
with 1917. The total shipments of
meat and lard in 1877 amounted in
round figures to slightly under l.Iso.-
o00, 900 pounds; in 1918 they were
slightly over 5000. geo, 600 pounds, or
very nearly doubled. These shipments
do not include products sent in United
states vessels to our forces abroad.
The aggregate of dressed meat and
lard consumed in the United states in
1917 was approximately l4.5oe.oQo.0oo
pounds while ia. laiS It had risen r.
l., 500 zoo, 900 pounds. After allowing
for the increase in the population this
means an addition OF twenty~three
pounds for every a woman and
child in the country.

The condition OF the Serbian poor,
according to the dispatches is beyond
description. A large proportion or
them are without homes. Added to
this distressing condition Is the Iact
that in most families, the wage
earners are dead, The mother in the
