More MIX, Less Meat.

The American Institute Of Meat
Packers has found that the per capita
consumption of meat is steadily fall
ing off. Twenty years ago the aver
age citizen ate over $50 pounds of
meat year. Now he eats only $50
pounds. He consumes more milk, how
ever-this average citizen. Figures
just issued by the Department Of Ag-
riculture place the daily per capita
consumption of milk at seven-tenths
Of pint. This is an increase of about
II per cent. In Boston, Concord, Hart
ford, Denver and Los Angeles the milk
consumption per capita is heaviest,
running up to about pint day. In
st. Louis 1t is only about half a pint
and In Louisville 1t is less than half
q pint. The people In the small towns
and in the country are the biggest milk
users, and this Is as 1t should be-

ROMANTIC "ADS" IN LONDON
Offering Services and Other
Things for Sale.

The new rich are buying and the
new poor are selling. Thousands Of
people who, five or six years ago,
never dreamed that poverty would
come within their own experience-to
whom, indeed, poverty was only a die
tionary word-are looking around them
today for means Of keeping their ends
up, and the advertisement column sug-
gests how some Of them are doing 1t,
says London Answers.
The following Is a haphazard selec-
ton Of advertisements, the advertisers
being once rich people now down on
their luck:
One man advertises bridge lessons.
Another offers to chaperOn you to
the Riviera.
A peer asks for paying students on
his Canadian estate.
A society lady offers to introduce
any one into society-fOr a considera-
ton.
Fore sale, diamond necklace "for
which the advertiser unfortunately has
no further use"
A cellar Of rare wine awaits a pur-
chaser.
A gentleman offers his services on a
trip to Australia.
And this: "a court suit, fitting a
man about five feet nine inches and
worn four times only, sword, hose,
pumps and all, In an alright case, for
20 guineas."
The romance hidden behind these ad
vertisements would IN most cases
make touching reading.

LIGHT Works Automatically.

An automatic lighthouse has been
erected at Barry Holmes Cover, Eng.
land, and It II claimed that 1t needs
attention only once In every two
years. The lighthouse is worked au-
tomatically. A small glass projection
on the left top registers the light,
which, when reduced to a certain de-
gree of weakness, ignites certain chem
icals. Thus, as darkness falls the
lamp lights itself. In the same way,
as dawn breaks, the rays Of light act
again, this time extinguishing it. 1t
is only necessary to replenish the
supply of chemicals every "a months.

Survived Lono imprisonment.

A British Columbia farmer lost a
COW, a two-year-old steer and sevea-
month-old calf on December 81. For
ty days later he found the animals in
a little root pit without food or water.
The COW was dead, but the calf, which
must have been nourished by the cow,
was in a fair condition, although weak,
as was also the steer. The steer and
the calf are now on the road to re
coyery.

land the city was In need of street i'm
proyements. Every dollar in the bud
get was made to do 100 cents of work.
The equipment was in bad condition
and had ts<be repaired before any work

With all these handicaps the city has
topped "a blocks of city streets with
gravel costing about 800 q block.
About AZ blocks of streets have been
paved since June /.
The street commissioner has been
criticized about the repairing of the
streets. The streets that were paved
about two years ago." he said, were
made with rock base and asphalt top
ping. The rock base after short
while, began to settle and the topping
began to get wavy. The city will re-
pair these streets as soon as money is
available.
Proposals for a bond issue will be
placed before the mayor and if accept
able to him, it will be submitted to the
voters in September. The proposed
bond for the streets is S5O0,OOO for
paving and repairs, $500, 900 for storm
sewers, $10O.0O0 for bridges and $780,.
900 for sanitary sewers. This bond
issue should be submitted in Septem-
Der. when the flood prevention and
auditorium bond issues are voted on.
The only way that the bonds will
go through will be through the aid Of
the civic clubs and all others interested
in San Antonio improvements" Mr..
