A Continued Falling-OT i'm Meat Con-
sumption Will Hurt the Entire
Stock Growing Industry.

Declaring that n continuance of the
present downward trend in meat CON
sumption in the United States would
have an unfortunate effect upon the
whole live stock industry, DIR. John X.
Mohler, chief of the bureau of animal
industry of the department of a%gricul-
ture. in II recent address before the
Institute of American Meat Packers.
outlined II constructive program for in
creasing the nations meat supply and
asked the institute to lend its support.
DIR. Mohler discussed the work being
done by he bureau to encourage the
breeding of better stock and cut down
losses due to diseases.
More economical production of meat,
he said, is generally demanded to-day,
and the obvious means Of reducing cost
in making meat is to raise the quality
and to put greater human skill into its
production He alluded to 'the unfor-.
tunatc tendency in some circles to as
sumo that all expenses, whether iusti-
fed or not. should be passed along to
the consumer"
In concluding his address. DIR. Mob
Ter said:
Last year. according to our records,
the per capita consumption of meat
declined about S pounds from that of
1918. and became considerably less than
the average consumption before the
While no definite conclusions and
no great anxiety are justifable from the
experience of II single year. there would
he an unfortunate effect upon the en-
tire livestock industry if the downward
trend of consumption continues. |
therefore. ask your organization to
lend its support to the following pro-
gram for Increasing the nations meat
supply.
Il. Reduce losses from livestock dis
eases especially. and also from other
~aVoidable cauSe
=. Improve methods of breeding and
feeding. thereby raising the dressing
percentage of ~carcasses so there will be
more and better meat from a given
weight of carcass.
u. Determine II remove causes of
runty and unthrifty stock. thereby OBJ
tanning greater uniformity.
~. Endeavor to regain normal con-
sumption of meats and possibly Increase

prices that will he Il relief to the con-
Stunning public and which may conf

Imagination which colored his fine
voice when he sang. Consuelo. a
scrawny. dark-skinned Spanish peasant
girl, was another of Porpora's pupils.
She was plain. but had a beautiful
voice and spirit.
She and Anzoleto were good friends,
nothing more. but he-an errant philan
derer-waS always falling in love and
coming to ConSuelo for sympathy and
advice. He was a rascal end an in

about 1856. Consucio engaged herself
to her fellow-pupil, but repulsed the
others Her genius had won admIra-
ton; her dignity and modesty had
won respect.
The Count JustinIan not only en-
gagged her for his theatre, but fell in
love with her and tried to win her from
Anzoleto. She would not be led away
and made it a part Of her contract
that her betrothed should also be en-
gagged to sing. Her sweetness and
fidelity the more deeply enslaved the
count.
Consuelo's rival. singer named
Gorilla, was bitterly incensed by the
action Of the count. Anzoleto played
on her jealousy and pretended to he
her lover. OF this perfidy Consuelo
knew nothing.
At the first public performance Con-
suelo achieved renewed success, but
Anzoleto was almost overlooked
Her teacher warned her not to
marry Anzoleto and to prove his case
forced her to visit the home Of Gorilla.
They found AnzOleto there and Con-
suelo was convinced Of his perfidy.
She repulsed Anzoleto, refused the
love of the count and fled to Vienna
on the advice Of Porpora.
A little later. POrpora sent her to
his friend, Count Christian Of Bohemia.

Baroness Amelia, just come from a
convent school at Prague. Consuelo,

night, was In awe of the count and

came. an ancient tree on the estate.

said. and soon after Count Albert, the

a strange peace was about to settle
over the house. He smiled at Con-
suelo, touched her hand and withdrew,
leaving her deeply mystified.
Albert, she soon learned. was a gen.
tie and admirable soul, but a man of
morbid moods which were In effect
