when life's prime necessities grew
rarer and dearer. But now the coun-
try has been told the bitter truth by
Food Controller Murialdi in speech
before the chamber of deputies
This years harvest of grain has
yielded 2OO,OOO.0OO hundredweight
less than last year: the government
must import 25O0OO.OOO hundred
weight for bread, which is sold at 20
cents for two-pound lonf. and means

soft grain the loss equals another

loses several hundred million dollars
Italy is the only allied country
whose inhabitants must still eat war
bread. Its price. the government says
must shortly be raised or 10 cents
for two-pound loaf. because the
budget cannot stand the loss of $780,

public must bear part of the burden

remedy to suggest. The public hlames

ing that such chaos reigned when he
took it over last summer that he has
been unable To straighten things out
and will resign rs soon as possible
He told an aStOnished chamber that
he found his ministry buying cheese
at 80 cents u pound. to resell to
wholesale dealers, who doled II out
to the public al Sl.5O pound. He
added that one great trouble is the
lack of food experts to advise the
government in buying foods, es-
pecially periShabie kinds. And he
said he saw no hope for II better food
situation in the near future unless
people eat less and pull their belts
tighter over empty stomnchs.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

The greatest food and medicine on
earth for baby chicks is sour milk. ac-
cOrding to poultry grower. More
chicks die during infancy of white
diarrhea than perhaps all other dis
orders combined. The acid in sour
milk is a poison to the germs of this
dreaded bowel trouble, while the sour
milk itself is reIished by the young
birds, and it is one of tie most nour-
iShhg of all feeds.
Under apparently the most sanitary
conditions chicks from the incubator
or from hatchings by hens will con-
tract serious bowel troubles. Clean
conditions and careful disinfectng will
often check this trouble and lessen
danger. but they will not always act
as cure preventive.
Many careful scientific and practical
tests have proved beyond doubt that
sour milk fed to baby chicks is one
Of the very best preventives. and
even cures. for bowel troubles. 1t is
important to begin feeding the sour
milk to the chicks as soon as they
will drink anything. Ii is even recon-
mended to pour "A few drops of the
sour milk down the throat of each
chick as soon as it is placed in the
hrooder and before it is old enough to
drink or eat. The sour milk acts i'm
mediately as bowel disinfectant.

milk before them all the time to their
benefit, the milk serving both as
medicine and a food.
Not only should baby chicks be CIV

as sweet milk as a food. and much
