Interesting Relics Found
In Saloon In Nevada

RENO, New, Dec. 29-(By Associ-
ated Press. "A box left in a saloon
forty years ago, which was stored
away and forgotten until the place
recently was dismantled, has been
turned over to the police. When open
ed it was found to contain a score of
interesting relics, including a number
dating back to before the signing of
the Declaration of independence.
The box is believed to have been
the property of Jacob Chamberlain.
there are two land deeds concerning
the selling of property in Macomb,
county, Michigan, on the tenth day
of August, 1887. Among the contents
is the Boston Gazette of March ~,
ITO. Numerous photographs also are
among the possessions. The pictures
were taken in the eighties by the
Elite Gallery of M~arysville, Calf.
A deed, certificate No. 22,11O, was
found concerning the purchasing OF
land in New York city and registered
by the general land office in Washing
ton, D, c. Several letters were found
dated in the spring of 1861, which

How Worlds Food Supply Stands

How Worlds Food Supply Stands
In support of its policy to keep
farmers of the United States fully in
formed of world food conditions and
probable needs for certain commodi-
ties, the U. S. Food Administration
has completed a summary of unusual
Importance to producers.
The world balance sheet of food
products, shows a shortage of three
billion pounds of fats and three mill
ion tons of high protein feeds. Among
fats are included pork products, dairy
products and vegetable oils.
Commodities of which there are
sufficient supplies, if used with econo-
my, are wheat, rye, beans, peas, rice,
and feeds other than those high in
protein. Sufficient beef is in sight to
load all refrigerating ships capacity.
There is enough sugar for our nor
NAL consumption if other nations re
tain their present short rations. If
they increase their rations there will
be a shortage. Coffee is the only COM
mon food commodity of which there
is a world surplus. With the possible
exception of high protein feeds the
United States has sufficient food and
feed for its W people, but to fulfill
its pledge of 5000, 900 tons to Europe
by July l 1919, there must be con-
tinued conservation and avoidance Of
waste.
The world shortage of fats is eX-
planned by Mr.. Hoover as due primar-
lily to the fact that Europe has been
steadily undertaking its dairy herd,
has made steady inroads into its herd
of hogs during the war, and to the
facts that there has been a great de-
generation in the production of vege-
table oils in certain regions owing to
the inability to secure shipping"
According to Food Administration
calculations, even with all our sup
plies and best efforts, the world will
be far deficient in its normal amounts
of fats for two or three years at least.
The future of the American producer
who is equipped for general farming
seems to lie in liberal corps of meat
products and homegrown feeds with
which to grow livestock economically,

Why Sugar Restriction Was Raised

Why Sugar Restriction Was Raised
In view of the large number of in
quiries as to the reasons for the re-
moval of restrictions upon the use of
sugar in households, and especially
from the service of sugar in the pub
lie eating places, the Food Admins
tration today issued the following
statement:
Since its inception, the Food Ad-
m~inistration's policy has been to ad-
Just its conservation requests with
conservation necessities and the pub
lie has shown it's appreciation of this
frankness by immediate response.
1t may astonish the public to know
that during the months of July, Au-
gust. September, October and Novem-
Der this year, the American people
saved nc less than 775,OO0 tons of SUI
gar over their normal consumption.
This conservation, of course, includes
the amount Of sugar saved by the
restrictions placed on confectionery
anu SOU uTluh pIOuuClS.
The Food Administrations object in
asking for economy in the use of SUI
gar was to ensure a supply that would
be adequate to meet the needs of the
Allies who would have to depend on
the same sources as the United States
so long as the war lasted. 1t was
necessary to take precautions so that
there would be a certainty of sufici-
ent sugar through the year. With the
signing of the armistice the situation
was Immediately changed, just as it
was with all measures taken with the
needs of a continuing war in view. AS
soon as the armistice made a change
in our sugar program possible the
restrictions were lifted.
While it is true that certain states
on the eastern seaboard are still lack
ing a plentiful supply Of sugar, it is
also a fact hat with the Cuban crop
almost upon us, we have a large sur
plus of western beet sugar and Louisi-
n ane sugar and it is quite permits
sible to return to the normal use of
sugar wherever it is available. 1t is
a great relief to the Food Administra-
ton to feel that no extraordinary sacri-
fee in the use of sugar is required Of
our people until further notice.
Until Mr.. Hoover's return the Food
Administration will outline no definite
campaign of saving on any specified
commodities. A great deal will de-
pend upon the supplies which are
found available in the various coun-
tries of Europe and in the arrange
ments which are made with the Allied
Food Council.
The people of America are urged
to eliminate waste rigidly. This ad-
vice applies to all foodstuffs, includ-
ing sugar from which the necessary
and artificial restrictions have now
been removed.

The Gist of the Matter

The point here sought to be
made is that production and eff
cheney is not keeping pace with
increased cost, chief of which is
wages. There is no desire to
deny anyone, employed at any
honest work, increased wages that
may be honestly earned. But in
the hysteria Of demand for in
creases, the volume of production,
or of efficiency, has been ignored,
if, indeed, it has not been deliber.
ately thrust aside. Until it be-
comes recognized that labor in
order to be justified in dcmandino
increased pay, must render an
equivalent in service, in efficiency
and in production, there can be no
equitable adjustment of wages
nor will the high cost of LIVING b2
reduced appreciably or satisfac-
torily so long as production is emf
down to a point below what is
reasonable to expect in return for
increased wages to the PRODUCING

Muzzle Dogs; Prevent Rabies.

Observation-Disclosures vigorous
steps to curb rabies, which, uil-
less controlled will show an alarm
ing increase throughout the state
this year, Major Ralph n. Greene
state health officer, is insisting ny
upon the enforcement Of Rule %
of the state board Of health reg
ulations regarding the mlIzzIlns
of dogs.
The rule in question gives the
state health officer authority to de-
mand the muzzling of dogs, when,
ever, in his opinion the life and
health of any community IS en-
dangered by the prevalence OF
rabies. A number Of cases OF
rabies in Jacksonville and DuVal
county during the latter part OF
August called forth orders from
Maj. Greene that the muzzIlng
regulation be enforced and the
state health officer is now urging
observance of the law throughout
the state.
Records of the board Of health
show that so positive heads had
been examined in the laboratory IN
1919 up to Sept l, against 81
during the IL months Of 1918.
Treatment given by the state
board during July and August Of
this year totaled Is as against
seven last year.
Taking the cost of treatment
given by the state board as a baS-
is, Major Greene states that rabies
cost Florida 1850 last year, 40
treatments being paid fo" by the
state and 80 by patients.
Contradicting the belief that
rabies usually developes at the end
of nine days, Major Greene tells
of one case on record where the
disease developed 241 days after
incubation. The time Of the de-
velopment after incubation is gen
orally anywhere from four weeks
to four months, with an average
of six to eight or 10 weeks.
Another erroneous belief, ac-
cording to Maj. Greene, is that
rabies is more prevalent in the
summer or "dog days" than at
any other time. The report for
1919 showed that out of Is cases
of rabies the greatest number for
any one month was in April when
were ordered for %
people. March was close second
with 16 cases. The score for the
remaining months was: January,
8; February, 8; May, 7; June, 3;
July, 3; August, 5; September, 2;
October, o; November, 0; Deccm-
Der, 2.
