Eating Less Meat

"The average American is eating each year
little more than his own weight in meat, accord
ing to figures given by Thomas E. Wilson of Will
son and Company, packers" says the Galveston
Daily News. "The average per capita meat con-
sumption in 1921 was 1876 pounds. In 1900 it
was 1912 pounds. Mr.. Wilson considers the
dwindling meat appetite of America serious
menace. But it is probable that there is no
dwindlng of the meat appetite of America. On
the other hand, it is highly probable that some
thing quite different is the cause of the reduced
consumption of America. The fact is that meat
is consumed in proportion to the demand, or
appetite, subject to the very important limitation
of the consumers financial ability to supply that
demand at current prices
"Since 1900 there has been some reduction in
the per capita eating of meat due to vegetarian
ism, perhaps though it is likely that this factor
is negligible. There has been considerable pro-
gress in the manufacture and preparation of
meat substitute dishes and of substitutes for
meat by-products, particularly lard This has
had it's influence. But the principal reason why
America buys less meat per capita is because
America can't afford to do otherwise.
Take your stand at any butcher shop today
and wait for the customer who asks for dime
steak. He won't come. If he did he would get
precious little steak. In 1900 dime steak would
supply family of four or five, with trimmings
enough for the family dog

Questionable Economy

Why the size of the army should be reduced
in the name of economy and S1500O,000 more be
added to an appropriation for river and harbor
development is question that an ordinary tax
payer of this country would like to have an
swered.
And in the same connection the man who pays
the bills wonders why some Recommendations of
the budget committe have been ignored by con-
gress.
The contrast between the willingness of the
house to increase the appropriation for the river
and harbors projects and the with which it
reduced the army last week, shows that the real
lesson of economy has not been learned by con.
gress
In the face of this inconsistency it is crafty.

They pour into holes and bitches,
They climb lofty towers.
