Argentina Fights
HOOf-MOuth Disease

Argentina plans to spend $1,5O0000 to
stamp out hoof-and-mouth disease as
part of new campaign to protect her
status as the worlds biggest meat ex-
porter.
Dropping what the authoritative cat
tlemen's magazine, La Res, characterized
as "a veil of silence" concerning the ex-
istence of the fever the Ministry of Ag-
riculture has put into effect new inspec-
ton requirements.
Minister of Agriculture DAME Amadeo
y Videla said the elimination of hoof-
andmouth fever (whose presence has
been invoked to prevent the entry of Ar
gentine fresh meat into the United
States) would be "of untold benefit to
our cattle industry"

service when the war ends. Living will
be greatly slmplihed.
One reason it Will inevitably be SIM
plifled is the reduction of all top bracket
incomes. War taxes have cut in heavily
and will continue to do SO in the period
of reconstruction. What Britains eco
nomic position will be in the postwar
world is major question.
That depends in part on the answer
to other questions. Prime Minister
Churchill has said that Britain intends
to hold her own" which presumably
means colonies in the Far East from
which the British formerly derived large
indirect benefits While the British gov
eminent received no revenue from In
Ola, and even contributed to the pro-
lection and the safety of that colony,
British merchants and manufacturer
have in the past received enormous
benefits from a preferential trade posi-
ton there. This helped to make possible
a higher living standard in the British
Isles than could have been sustained
without such colonies. In the same way
the Dutch were able to maintain rela-
lively high living standard at home
thanks to the Netherlands East Indies.
After the war it may not be possible,
for variety of reasons, to preserve this
preferential position. India had made
long strides toward industrialization and
Indian industrialists had grown increas-
ngly reSentful of British restraints
Among the vast brown and yellow mil
lions Of the East is a purposetul stirring
that cannot be denied. There are many
here as we'll as in America who believe
that all colonies should be put under
form of economic mandate to insure an
orderly evolution toward both political
and financial independence within
fixed period of years.
Emigration Is Disliked.
Moving into the age of steam a hun
dred years ago, Britain took industrial
leadership and held it. 1t was thanks to
her tar-flung commerce, backed bv her
navy, that these isles were able to pro-
vide Tor population far beyond that
which could conceivably be self-sustain-
ing. With the spread of industlialism
after 1918, the British position was weak
ened; adjustments were made reluc-
family. The pressure after the end of
this war is certain to be greater. Mil

called universal ration book, or war
ration book No. 2. This book is de-
signed to handle two or three ra-
ton programs simultaneously. Its
coupons are numbered to permit the
rationing Of consumer items by the
expenditure of an allotted number
of points by each individual, rather
than the coupon system as used
for coffee and sugar.
OPA officials explained that while
the unit-coupon system works well
for sugar, it cannot be used for ra-
tioning foodstuffs that are DIVERSE
fed, such as meat. Using meat as
an example, rationing officials
showed how impossible it would be
to divide the total supply on a per
person basis because, there are too
many kinds Of meat, too many cuts
of each type, besides too many
grades of each type and cut.
Point rationing, they say, pro-
vides an equitable share for
each and every one, besides per-
hitting freedom of choice for
the consumer.
Different point values will be CIV

en- different commodities. Using
meat again as an example, a pound
of one kind of meat might be given
a value of eight points. A pound Of
another kind Of meat, more plenti-
full, might be given value Of six
points. The more plentiful a food
stuff, the less point value 1t will be
given. The government will deter
mine the point value of each COM
modify on the basis Of supply and
demand. As the supply or demand
fluctuates, the point value can be
changed accordingly.
The new ration books will
have stamps that are designat-
ed as worth eight, five, two or
one points. Virtually any point
value can thus be computed by
using this combination Of
stamps. When purchases are
made the appropriate stamps
are turned in to the dealer. The
stamps besides having the point
value designated on them will
also be marked with a letter to
indicate the period Of time in
which it may be used.
This point rationing system would
be similar to the system that has

Increases of more than 10 per
cent above last years record peaks
are planned for many Of the major
farm products, including pork, lard,
beef, eggs and poultry. They are
the products that will be most ur-
gently needed. Farmers who have
specialized in these lines have al
ready boosted their output and for
the third consecutive year have sur
passed even their previously high
totals. They will do even more this
year in order to meet the larger
demand from consumers with high
er incomes, from the government; to
supply the armed forces, and from
nations abroad that are fighting with
US.
Long before planting time much
can be done to insure higher pro-
duction in 1913. Right now is the
time for every farmer who has not
already started to do so, to examine
every piece of mechanical equip
ment he owns for wear and correcti-
BILE defects which, if not remedied
now can cause breakdowns at time
when they would seriously interfere
with production. Now is the time
to do all possible repairing and con-
struction of buildings, and all 9TH

vance. During the planting, grow
ing, and harvesting season every
hour which is devoted to any other
task viii rob the world Of food.
Even though the 1913 volume of
production will cost more than in
previous years, the total net income
of the farmers will be larger be-
cause the prices Of what they sell
are considerably higher than they
have been for many years. They
are likely to rise substantially far.

cause Of the enormously increased
demands they are expected to av-
erage not less than 10 per cent

prices will add another 50, 600, DOC, 900

Sleepy After Meals?

If you are very hungry and have
a good meal, why should you feel
sleepy, provided, Of course, you
have not yet done anything special
ly strenuous? Here's why: The
activities of the human body are
energized by the blood. II you
are hungry and have a good meal,
the chief occupation of your phys
ical system is then devoted to di-
gestion. Blood is drawn off auto
matically from everywhere else to
carry out that process of digestion.
Blood is drawn from your brain,
and so your brain slows down and
you feel sleepy.

No one can deny the seriousness
of the worldwide food situation. Mil
lions upon millions of once produc-
tive farm lands have been laid
waste by the ravages of war in Eu-
rope. Wartime drains on manpower,
which have created serious farm la
Dor shortages already in this coun-
try, have had a paralyzing effect
on farm production in Russia and
Germany particularly. Countries I'M
der the conqueror's grinding heel
have been stripped Of cattle, swine,
surplus food supplies, and even seed
grains. Total world production of
food is down sharply, while world
food demands are up.
We can no longer think only in
terms of this nations requirements.
America has never been able to
stand idly by, and watch other ma
tons starve, and, regardless of what
effort is required, what sacrifices
are entailed, we are not going to
turn a deaf ear to the worlds frantic
pleas for food. In food, as well as
