ENCLISHMEN EAT LESS
 MEAT THAN FORMERLY

LONDON.-Englishmen used to be considered the greatest meat eaters in the world, Now, declares the Society of Meat Importers, the average Englishman eats 33 percent less meat than he did before the war. Unless he can be induced to eat more of it, the country will be faced with such a glut of meat as it has never had before.
 The annual consumption of meat in the United Kingdom before the war was about l,s0O.OOO tons, say the importers. It is now only l,- 100000 tons. And this they con tend is due entirely to the high cost still maintained Englishmen and Englishwomen, too, are just as fond of meat as ever, but they cannot afford to eat as much of it as they used to.

 AID ID SAVE FISH

In letter addressed to the Ne mana Commercial club, Delegate George B. Grigsby states that he will do what he can to prevent the further operation of the cannery at the mouth of the Yukon river. The letter was written in reply to a letter from the club asking his help.
 The delegate also informs the club that he will try to secure seeds for spring planting and will make an effort to get them to Nenana in ample time to be of use to local planters. The last seeds received here did not arrive in time to be of much use, and last year none at all came.

Ex-SERv|CE MEN, UNABLE ID WORK,
 APPEAL FOR AID

NEW YORK.-Disabled war vet erans in Boston, Cleveland, Cincin- natl, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Detroit, Columbus, Ohio, San Francisco, Den yer, New Orleans, and Minneapolis, handicapped for life and unable to more than barely live on the Gov. ernment allowance of $50 a month during their vocational training, have written to the headquarters of the Carry On association here, request ing the establishment of Carry On clubs in the cities named.
 According to the projectors of the association, which provides the wounded soldier with a good home, nourishing food, laundry, dental and medical care, transportation, and an allowance for clothes, all for $10 week, dependent ex-fghter is thus left with money enough to keep up his war risk insurance and have some amusement besides. Since last April, when the first experimental club was opened in New York, accom- modating forty men and ten extra for meals, it's work is said to have shown great possibilities. The or ganization opened another New York club on Christmas day, and the week previously one with a capacity for 15O men was opened in Wash ington.
 The enterprise is said to have the approval of the American Le- zion, which is reported to be raising $50,O00 in New Orleans for Garry On club there. Denver, with 5000 arrested tubercular cases, is also :, reported to be preparing for club drive. Altogether there are be- tween 23O,00O and 260,000 disabled ex-service men in the United States.
 The "boys" in the Carry On club houses do much of the housework and enforce their own regulations.
 A big sunny living groom filled with ex-soldiers, playing, reading and chatting or singing to the accom- paniment of photograph or piano,
 is the chief feature of the institu tion. One young eX-fghter said he gained 31 pounds in 30 days as a
 result of the good food and care he had received The first club was
 formed, it was said, because it was shown by carefully compiled statis- tics that while an invalid young man might be able to live on $50 , a month in many parts of the coun- . try, it was impossible to do so in d } large city,

Whether the speaker wins out-and
he hasi the strong support of many
prominent members-or whether the
states that are likely to lose seats
under reapportionment have suffi-
cient influence to increase the House
to size which will retain all the
seats they now occupy, remains to be
seen. The fight will not come up un-
til the opening of the new Congress.
Ten states Involved.
If any attempt is successful to hold
down the size of the House, ten states
stand to lose representation, as fol-
lows: Missouri, =, and Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana. Maine,

would be 234.751. instead of 211.s77,
as it is at present. That is, there
would be one representative in the

The fiavoring of homemade

peaches with alcoholic spirits Is in
violation of the prohibition enforce
ment law and such foods are liable
to seizure, it was stated today at
the bureau of internal revenue.
Officials explained that under

which alcohol is an ingredient can
be made only by manufacturers of
food products who obtain a permit
from the government and that such
products must contain less than
one-half OF 1 per cent of alcohol.
They also state that the regula-
tions require that such products
shall not be used or sold on the
premises. and that this effectively
barred the housewife from making
Christmas foods with liquor in
them. The regulations specifically
state that permits shall not be is
