last summer as hospital wards for
American soldiers who went down in

have been obtained by the American
Red Cross and transplanted to the site
of the Paris Exposition, where they are

men who swarm into Paris EVERY day
on leave This is the sixth free hotel
which the Red Cross has established in
Paris for the care of the American
boys who visit the. city on sightseeing
days.
Each tent has electric. lights, and ev-

pajamas are provided for the soldiers.

scareer than at, any time in the history
of Paris, this congestion being due to
the great number of official visitors as

The, gospel of the clean plate, the pro-

stention begot of patriotism cut tho
consumption TO l64 pOlnds, but 1T
could not last. Men and women found
means to circumyent regulations, in
creased production made the food con-
trellers less strict, and 1913 saw con-
sumption jump TO 1913 IL pounds per
person.
Fortunately meat production in
America kept pace with war demands.
In 1900, one of the biggest meat years,
according to the department of agrl-
culture the total of all classes was 49,
S65.000,000 pounds, and in 1918 war
time needs promoted a, production of
%, 500, 000, 900 pounds.
If all of the meat produced in this
country had been produced here, still
the resulting per capita consumption
of 1900 would not have been subse-
quently equalled. After sending many
hundreds of millions of pounds of meat
to foreign countries every year, there
was still the bulk of the production
left to make in this country one of the
largest per capita consumption to be
found among all countries. This was
2l5.9 pounds IN 1900, COLL pounds in
1909, 176 pounds in 1914, 1861 pounds
in 1916, 1854 pounds in 1917, and 1875
pounds in 1918. Moro. properly these
were potential consumptions, because
no account is taken of the difference
between the stocks at the beginning
and end of the years For 1918 this
difference appears to have been unus-
ually large, the stocks being small at
the beginning of the year and large at
| the end.
| Meat producers, met the war situa-
ton magnifeently in 1918. They in
creased meat production in one year
| by "a per cent, and this made possible
an increase of national meat surplus in
one year by 10 per cent and an increase
of per capita consumption by II pei
cent. Notwithstanding the very high
prices of meat in this country in 1918
and with prices rising above 1917, 9
large fraction of the population must
have greatly increased its meat con
sumption in that year.

of Boy Babies During War Periods
Some Meat Figures.

NEW YORK, April 24.-The popular
belief that war affects the sex of chill
dren born during its continuance, that
a large majority of wartime babies are
boys, has existed so long that, whether
true or false, nearly every one takes it
for truth, though statisticians and scr
cntists are not as one in upnolding the
theory. Now the question has arisen:
+" Does the presence of Mars in the
world increase the consumption of
meat7' In other words, does the war
spirit affect the, appetite9 Do men and
women whose minds are filled with bel

faction of the lethal desirc?
Soon after the Spanish war America
reached the highest per capita meat
consumption in her history. Then ii
declined gradually until in 1914 each
American was eating only 176 pounds
year. Then war appeared in the
world, and while America was not in
it, nearly every American had become
a war partisan by 1916, and was glory
ing or gloating over the killing in Eu
rope, when the mass of il suited his
sentiments So although prices were
soaring and Europe was taking all OF
our meat it could get, the American
consumption ran up to lS6 pounds pei
person. The steady growth of vegetar
ianism was halted, the advice of the
doctors against heavy meat eating
went for naught, and America revelet
in flesh foods at exorbitant prices thai
few could afford to pay
In 1917 America entered the war anC
our demand for meat was curbed by
