FACTS ABOUT MEAT
CONSUMPTION

/ Our good friend f. F. Fessenden
'9f Lucenre has called out atten-
ton to the leading article Meat
Trade Facts and Conditions" in
he Breeders Gazette of March "a.
The entire article is very inter
eStlng, as are most of the articles
printed by the Gazette, and we
are glad to reprint the following
extract, indicating a condition that
does not receive enough considera-
uOn these days, when we are jump
ing up and down, .hollering and
out of breath, but not quite sure
Just what is the matter with us:
There is positive need of some
course that will draw the atten-
ton of the consuming public to
the nutTitive value of beef, pork
and mutton, as much for the bene-
it of the consumer as for the pro-
cctlOn of the producer-a course
hat will not enable the retailers
to capitalize this sentiment and

call price now is out of all proper

ed. During the war, when conser=

Measure, consumers refrained from
neat consumption to great ex-

ADMINISTRATION They were encour-

years have been burdensome to pro
ducors, and in no wise helpful to
consumers. But there is another
chase of the matter. 1t is the in
~lstent- propaganda that is being
waged against the meat industry
and indirectly. Break
fast food makers, diary interests,
of kidney cures, and
space writers kept up continuous
attack on the meat diet, whether
premediatated or not matters lit
tie, the effect being the same.
Recently a space writer, whose
stuff is syndicated and appears in
many daily Newspapers, made so
bold as to give assurance that now
that booze, had been prohibited
meat would come, if not next, at
least early under the ban and pass
out of use. He supported his as
sertion by arguments (which of
course he was selling at so much
per line) intended to show that
meat as a diet was not only un-
but harmful. Such bosh
has been published in the metro
politan newspapers, and has had a
misleading and damaging effect
upon one of the basic industries of
this country. Nor is the Federal
Government free from criticism
in relation to this matter, as pub
lication issued under Federal auth
ority by the Dairy Division of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, and
to be in the interest of
dairying, not only indirectly but
directly attacks the meat produc-
ing interests.
There is need for some educa~
tional movement that will reveal
and spread the truth about meat,
SO that the consuming public may
have better understanding of
the essential relation of meat to
the diet of people who do things

Mary Magdalene and Eve Get Most Votes
 In Fair Sex Contest

(By International News Service)
 ROME, Aug. Is. - Eve was the mckies woman of all time, in the opinion of the women readers of a Roman newspaper that recently held a vote to determine what woman of history their women subscribers would prefer to be, if they could have their choice.
 Most of the women said they pre- ferred the role of Eve. They req soned that Eve, alone among the wo- men of all time, had no competition. Adam had to be true to her-for there were no others to vamp him And if she did talk too much he couldn't run away; there was nc place to go.
 Second place in the balloting went 10 Mary Magdalene, on the ground that after enjoying all the sins of the world she was forgiven, and then being made saint, experienced II the delights of paradise. Mary E vide range of experience seemed to appeal to the fair voters.

A Word for Bryan.

1t is amusing to the trepidation that is
manifesting itself in certain quarters over the
possibility that William Jennings Bryan, late
of the state of Nebraska and now of Florida
may soon again grasp the public conscious
ness as United States senator from the latter
state. Florida is safely and solidly Demo-
cratic and Senator TrammeI comes up for re-
election next year. 1t begins to look if the
stage nicely set for the entrance of the
great commOner.
1t is hard to understand why anybody should
begrucge Mr.. Bryan seat in the senate. He
has frequently wandered from practicalness in
politics, governmental finance and diplomacy,
it is true; yet on many things he is funda-
mentally sound. He is, for instance. primar-
lily evangelistic Christian, man whose own
acts conform rigidly to what he thinks is
right No one with an understanding of the
man will dispute his integrity. When all is
said and done any who at the age of Sc
becomes the candidate of one of the two great
political parties for the highest Office in the
nation must have element of greatness in
him. And when one considers the Sc members
of the senate. surely few of them are peers of
William Jennings Bryan.
