BritOn Would Buy
Food from Nations
Own Possessions

of The Associated Press.)- Instead
of buying food from the United
States and South America, Britons
are urged by Sir Charles G. Wade,
agent general for New South Wales,
to buy food from the British domin-.
ions.
However great may be the disarm-
ing power of the league Of nations, I
cannot close my eyes to the possibil-
ity of another world wide conflagra-
ton and the risk of our supplies
being cut off," said Sir Charles. "In
our own interests and for the pur-
pose of national defense this country
must be self supporting. What we
cannot produce within this island
must be imported, and self-interest
demands that we shall insure a con-
slant supply Of raw materials from
our own kith and kin on whose CO.
operation We can rely, rather than be
at the mercy Of the changeable good
will of foreign nation.
"Our export trade again is serious
ly menaced alike by enemy and allies.
Already the United States and Japan
have made heavy inroads into British
supremacy in the east. Both of these
nations are already equipped and
ready for keen competition in COM
merce with the United Kingdom,
while this country is suffering from
an epidemic of increasing cost and
diminishing output.
ITO recover or maintain British
markets friendly field in the Domin.
ions will be a great help, and pre-
ferential tariff may stave off the dam
ger Of undertaking by foreign COM
petitors."

KILLS MORE Than WAR
tuberculosis Claims 10000
Victims a Year.
Survey Indicates 2,ooo, 900 Unsuspected
Sufferers From Disease in
Nation.

New York.-A survey Of the country
shows the United States is face to
face with a condition. more menacing
to its people than actual warfare, ac-
cording to the report of the executive
committee of the National Tuberculo-
sis association.
The survey shows an annual death
rate from tuberculosis in the United
States of 10000, and more than 1,OOO,-
OOO active cases Of the disease In the
nation.
To combat and prevent the spread
OF the disease, an intensive national
campaign is necessary, it was asserted.
Funds for the campaign will be sought
by ten-day sale Of Red Cross seals,
beginning December 1. The total of
the several state budgets will be more
than $6,50O,OO0.
During the discussions, attention
was called to the revelations of the
wartime medical examination boards,
made up largely Of members Of the as
sociation. Official figures were cited,
showing that of the men called to the
colors, nearly 100000 were tubercu-
lous. w. RI
rate of 10000 year from one pre-
ventable disease means the sacrifice
of more lives than the United States
army lost In the year it was actively
engaged in the war.

Tumble to Earth,

Painter and All His Work Took a
Tumble to Earth.
A painter, whose name is withheld,
high at work painting the water tank
at the .Wanless mine at Buhl, Minn.,
the other day, felt a tugging at the
bottom Of the ladder. He looked down
and there, scratching her back, was a
black COW.
His probable fate flashed into his
mind. Bossy took one look upward
toward the heavens and saw the
painter descending. This time the cow
became frightened and ran her horns
through the lower rungs of the ladder.
OF she went in a gallop, carrying
the ladder, painter, paint and all.s The
louder he yelled the faster: the COW
went. It was but short travel to
earth for the painter, who struck the
ground with resounding thud. He
escaped uninjured with his feelings
ruffled. - :.
To make matters worse Bossy re-
tanned ownership Of the ladder, which
she carried away on her horns. She
was caught after she had gone q quar-
ter Of mile.

British and French had been obliged
to give ground. The then General
Foch intended to recover the former
positions at all costs, according to
Colonel Feyler. He asked Gen. Sir
John French to cooperate with him.
Impossible" replied French; "my men
are ready to hold here, but do not
feel. that can demand Of them, in
their present condition further sacri-
fees In attacking"
Foch expressed surprise: "Their
morale is low," he said. '''Why don't
you launch proclamation? Some
thing like this: British soldiers, for
ward. You who have vanquished the
great Napoleon, shall it come to pass
that you will permit the lowly Ger
man to drive you from your positions
and retain them?'
"How is that?' asked French, great
ly interested. "Please repeat it." And
at the dictatien of Foch, French wrote
out the proclamation, which was CIV
en- out to the troops the next day.
The next morning the British SOL
diers hit the line and recovered all

Smith, and several others in authority
in Chicago's municipal law and order
enforcement league are delving into
the intricacies of a crime problem
which might be entitled 1.-THE Mystery
Of Migely's Missing Machine, or
Marie's Mishap."
It all started when someone made off
with the automobile of William J.
Migely. Two days ago Migely's hopes
ran high when the Grand Crossing po-
lice notified him they had his car, safe
and sound, outside the station. He
hurried to the station. There was no
car there.
"Well, I'll be hung for humbug
If it wasn't sittin' out there just now,"
said the sergeant, scratching puzzled
pate. 1T does beat all how that car
gets away, don't it?"
Mlgely went home.

Chicago station wailing of his woe.
'They struck my Marie" he moaned.
'They were coppers, too. I saw 'em.

two coppers, fireman, and a lady.
And they didn't have no regard for
speed. They footed their horn and ex-
pected Marie to run out Of the way.
She can't run no more. They hit 'er in

at East Ninety-eighth street and Tor
rance avenue. The radiator was
smashed where Marie, after the man
ner of her kline, had attempted to de-
fend herself in the only way she knew,
head on and horns down. She was
not quite spry enough and the car
caught her amidships.
"Marie's horn was broken and she's
hurt inside and she'll have to be shot,"
Mrs. Anna Kartrilia wept.
"How about my carr" asked Migely.
"Who's going to pay for that?"
"Marie couldn't help it. It wasn't
her fault" retorted Mrs. Kartrilia.
'The police and fire departments are
responsible"
"We're investigating" said Sergt.
Michael Hastings.
Investigating also," echoed sergt.
A. Wiseman.
"Guess I'd better take my car while
I've got it," said NICELY.

ST0Rk GETS ON JOB
Frances Birth Rate Shows Some
Improvement.
Serious Decline In 1918 from Year Be-
fore the War Was Cause
Of Alarm.

Paris.-France's declining birth rate
has lately been source of much con-
cern, but distinct improvement has
been noticed during the present
month.
Evidence of a great decline in births
in 1913 was shown in official figures
for the district of the Seine, which
includes the city Of Paris, which
showed that there are only 43,4sO
births registered in that district in
1918, as compared to the 1850 in
1911.
The infantile death rate given by
statisticians is 40 per cent, as COM
pared to 10 per cent before the war.
This has been attributed to the scar
city Of wet nurses and poor quality
and shortage Of milk for bottle-fed
babies. The shortage is said to be
due to the tremendous increase in
cheese making, especially in Nor
mandy.
However, all the maternity hospi-
tails in Paris reported increased births
thus far the present month. In one
hospital the number doubled those of
last year, and it is declared that ba-
bies are remarkable for size, weight
and general health.
A new periodical entitled Marriage
has just appeared. It announces that
it will devote itself to the question of
the repopulation Of France, which is
generally recognized to be one of the
most urgent problems of the day. 1t
asks it's readers, What means should
be adopted to combat the present mat
rimOnial crisis in France?"
