KThe Hamburger Fremdenblatt re-j ports that, owing to the average poor resuits of the barley harvest, it is intended to assign to breweries only about 20,000 to 30,000 tons of barley monthly, so that the barley destined fpr brewing purposes will b<- disposed of in about four to six months. Omitting Bavaria, the peace-time consumption of German breweries amounts to about 1.2 million tons of barley. The assignment in the new harvest year would, therefore, amount to not mere than 2% per cent of the peace-time consumption.

Kokomo women, in a rally to boost food conservation, sent out a demand for a "cigarless day” for the men as | one means of saving in war time. The | idea originating in Howard county J was seized later by Chicago women, and under the title, “smokeless day” for men, is being urged as a national movement. Many Indiana women, especially those of the W. C. T. U. movement, are working on plans for converting lands now used for tobacco crops to the production of food supplies during the war. Smokeless days . for smokers is one plsui by which it I is proposed to liberate tobacco lands for food production.

■ The Brunswick Volksfreund quotes the Magdeburg Zentralblatt fur die . Zuckerindustrie for the following account of the German sugar-beet crop: "Some daily papers have been publishing a report, emanating from a Berlin news agency, to the effect that the strikingly good condition of the beets will compesate to a substantial degree for the diminished production j caused by a decrease in cultivation. This is an exaggerated statement which awakens hopes impossible of fulfillment. Even with a full crop the production could amount at most to 34,000,000 ctr. (hundredweight) of raw value, while in the last years of peace' over 30.000,000 ctr. were produced. All means must be employed to bring the beet cultivation up to the peace-time level; until this is achieved the sugar shortage will remain, for the more er less good harvest results can make very little difference.’’ ' HEALTH - CONDITIONS AT CAMPS.

OSTEOPATHY VS. DRUGS. I am often asked why I don’t get my M. D. degree also, then I could treat everything. That would be fine. So would a dentist's, surgeon’s and astrometrist’B degree, but this is a day of specialists. The doctor used to be the preacher, school teacher, lawyer and sometimes farmer, but now he confines himsolf to his special line, and he will always be learning new things in that line. Osteopathy Has a Big Field. It has not yet found its bounds or limitations, so there is a great deal to study without meddling into other methods. There are two medical men in this town who have attempted to give osteopathic treatments and failed, and they are considered “quacks,” even by the medical profession. Better Go to One Who Knows. DR.
